Co děláme, když nečteme feat Kuba Stanjura & The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal a psaní

A neopomene si hodnocení The Last of Us, kde je jednou z mála věcí hodných ocenění přítomnost Pedra Pascala. Knihy z epizody:📖 Send Nudes & Gunk...

This encouraged the Blakely's spirit of adventure toward success. I remember a talk she gave to one of our masterminds and the feeling was that she didn't want to ever fail at trying.

Underrated: Chef
With the help of a very special guest, Kiana, we break down Chef, the 2014 Jon Favreau movie. We discuss the magic of food in film, why feel-good movies stand the test of time, and oh, Leila manages to step down as producer and then randomly promote herself to executive producer all in the span of one episode! We also had some audio issues during the first half of this episode so we apologize. Be sure to follow the pod and feel free to follow us on twitter: @saraabumeri and @jabumeri.
