Ok well first of all the audio links include transcripts because I am not a heathen, but I get your point.
I’m still working out how to best use the daily audio content as the seeds of writing on Substack - my guess is it’s still another 3 weeks before that happens. But the world is moving fast, people have questions, and I am *really* confident in my ability to help answer them.
