In the past few episodes, the setting has been much more neutral. I did this to put emphasis on the participants and the conversation at hand. However, I decided to conduct the fifth episode in a more laid back setting — a gallery space — to see if the conversation would flow differently. It did. The conversation ended up being thirty-four minutes long, which made it extremely difficult to edit down. Brandon Ivey and Ryan Weston come from internationally-diverse backgrounds, yet discovered numerous similarities during their conversation including their shared appreciation for family time and a newfound aspiration to summit some of the world’s tallest peaks. Overall a huge success.
Thank you to Brandon and Ryan for your time. Here’s to new friendships!
