Fundraiser & choreographer, @nothingbuthitz and I had a warts-n-all conversation about:

Full transparency: this was recorded in January, which feels like a million years ago. I couldn’t remember what I had said so was reluctant to share but having listened to it, it’s surprisingly lacking in waffle. There are even some decent crowdfunding tips in there!
