Episode notes

I like that magic can never be destroyed, because it's there we don't understand how everything in the universe works. And so what i would encourage people to do is to make some room for that. Put yourself in positions where you can have that seran. You don't know in advance, but if you don't get out there, you don't talk, you don’t try, you won't have those magical moments. I think it's a real powerful question to ask yourself.
