Indecisively Decisive is a podcast for all of us in the ongoing process of figuring ourselves out. Featuring candid conversations with those I admire: fellow creatives, travelers, and entrepreneurs, in an effort to better understand the balance between embracing our indecisiveness, and knowing when it’s time to go all in. My hope is that their stories will both comfort and entertain as we navigate decision-making in our own lives — from ourselves to our careers, our relationships, and so much more.
