First Itch
Podcast Description
Friendly talks between unknown creatives, entrepreneurs, hackers and tinkerers.
We tend to only listen to stories of those at the end of their journeys who have succeeded. As if they had a secret recipe for success we can follow. Reality is, there’s tiny yet significant things that separate everyone’s journey. Most importantly way back there was that one initial feeling when you thought just for a second “I’m going to do this.” In our conversations we go all the way back to this moment that we call the First Itch.
