She+ Geeks Out PodcastAuthor: She Geeks Out
We interview brilliant humans who share their journeys, insights, and experiences. Each interview is with someone from the Good Humans Club. We bring you the voices of those from all walks of life to share with you what they geek out about-- their passions, talents, struggles, and successes. This doesn't mean that they're going to be tech talks (although they might be!). Each episode will feature the hosts and their guests talking about topics including health, psychology, art, music, learning, and more-- the list goes on. Episodes are fun and engaging and provide some nuggets of information that you can take away. Oh, and yeah, they might be awkward sometimes. That's just how we roll.
