As we celebrate our second anniversary, host Andrew steps into a rare solo cast to peel back the curtain on the journey so far. This isn't just a celebration; it’s a manifesto for the "doers"—the practitioners who build the future while others merely describe it.

In this episode, we explore the evol...
