DAVE JONES | Peak Social Media, Coding Creativity & Philosophy Without A Degree

Dave Jones is a driver behind the Podcasting 2.0 movement & a repeat guest on the Mere Mortals (1st appearance in Conversation #54). In Conversation #88, Dave and I discuss: why fragmented social media might be losing steam, some of his favourite philosophy books, combining the value for value model with music, what a lot of people get wrong about V4V and how I saved him from being nicknamed the Podbro. Hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world, Kyrin out!
