    Really enjoyed listening to this interview with Austin, thank you.

    Finding trips to London, from Oxford, all the more enjoyable bundling your insightful and enjoyable interviews into the iPod three at a time :)

    A dynamic book! I highly recommend it. Autin Kleon’s book reminds me of another I truly appreciated as well: How to Think Like Leonard daVinci, by MIchael J. Gelb.
