Also, not only is this episode longer than most already, stay tuned for part 2 next week, where we'll cover a bunch of the audience questions shared with us on twitter!

Just read #GeniusMakers about a month ago. Looking forward to watching this episode with that knowledge in mind! Hopefully doesn't say too many bad things about your Belgian origin (which I share) 😅.

Just finished it, very insightful as always, I think I watched every possible talk/interview from Geoff on YouTube but still managed to learn new things in this one! By the way, it would be great to have again someday for a second round.
