    Tom truly brings out the best in his guests, and this was no exception. There's an earnestness evoked when guests are given the space to reflect and offer thoughtful and measured responses, and that couldn't have been more palpable in his exchange with Gracie.

    I really love this particular interview. Its feels so refreshing. The questions that are being asked are so unique and its truly more of a real conversation than just question and answer back and forth. Also it goes deeper than just the surface level questions. I appreciate you for making this!!

So warm and such great unique questions and conversations and I think just perfectly matching the pace and energy of who you are interviewing! ❤ loving your stuff already, and you’ve not only done my 2 fav artists right now (Gracie and Renee) but as I’m scrolling through your channel so many others?!
