Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert

Best Podcast This Week: Brandon Stanton on Magic Lessons

The best podcast I listened to this week was Episode 202 of Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert. In fact, this particular podcast episode is probably my favorite in a long time. Friend, you have to listen to this episode as soon as possible. It was that good.
