Call Me On The Way Home: Recent Episodes
Austin Watts
Call Me On The Way Home is to ask two major questions of our guest: What have you mastered? What are you working on and hope to master?
I want to learn from my network about the cool things they are doing and publish our conversations. The title comes from my lengthy time in a car on my evening commutes in LA. And you only talk to people you really want to on the way home, usually good friends.
My hope is to stay connected with my network through interesting dialogue, thought provoking questions, and laughs and giggles.
