Join us for a new conversation with Nat Eliason in the first episode recorded in our new studio! Fresh off the launch of his self-published fiction debut, Husk, Nat gives us the inside scoop on the publishing world, the creative process, and why he's trading the non-fiction hustle for building fictional universes. Nat reflects on the importance of "friction" in a media landscape of short attention spans, the powerful reorientation he found in fatherhood, and the philosophical questions surrounding technology. This episode is a must-listen for aspiring authors, avid readers, and anyone interested in the future of storytelling and the enduring questions of the human experience.
