Hey Maneesh,
Just saw you doing some crazy pushups on a very high cliff on YouTube, gave me the chills man!
Anyway, I really like Jonathan Mead.
I have watched just a few videos from him and I’m still willing to know more about his work so this was a very cool and valuable interview for me.
Hope you do more like this and also thanks for the breakdown in minutes, that was handy!
