This week, I'm giving you a guide to one of my favorite books in the entire universe: Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way.

For this episode, I sat down with one of my closest friends: Quincy Moore, the brilliant mind behind New York or Nowhere.

In this conversation, Quincy takes me through the

Episode 001: Welcome to the Take Your Time Universe
For the very first episode of Take Your Time, I'm sharing my own story and the "why" behind this podcast.
