Ask Me ANYTHING! | Episode 50 | Everything is Everything

Hooray! We've reached episode 50, and it's time for an AMA. In this episode, Amit and Ajay answer questions from gentle readers that were solicited through Twitter and elsewhere. No holds barred, straight from the heart!

We refer to many of our earlier episodes during this conversation, so rather than link them individually in the show notes, we'd urge you to check them all out here:    / @amitvarma  

The character-limit also didn't allow us to list all the episodes of The Seen and the Unseen that we have mentioned, but you can browse them here: https://seenunseen.in/ OR here:    / @theseenandtheunseen  

As you can see, the learning curve on Everything is Everything has been steep. In the comments below, please tell us what you like about the show -- and what else you'd like to see from us.

And if you like watching Everything is Everything, please like, subscribe, share, comment. :)
