This week my guest didn't show up, so I decided to roll with the punches. It's just me talking to you all about what I have been seeing in sneaker culture. I share stories about growing up and why I think certain things shaped my views on sneakers. Creating this podcast and the journey I have had, what is next and how do I get there. Plus much much more!
