We just had to have Chloe back for another week of amazing discussion from Penn and Chloe. Many times we deal with what qualifies us to do what we do and we put "ands" in our lives to justify what we do either for a living, or for fun, or for some other purpose. Chloe shows us that no matter what you do you never have to put and after the title of you. You can find a transcription of this episode here. https://share.descript.com/view/pnnMvocXG3N
