It's been around 11 months since I had a guest on the podcast, excuse the rusty-ness. This week I chat with Mazin, an author of Motivational Days 101, Reflections and Beyond the Boardroom. We discuss everything from AI in writing, social media, feeling FOMO, life as a writer and obviously digressing into an rant. Regardless, tune in and enjoy!
