Should We Still Be Masking Up? And More Great Topics With Tim Urban

Episodes
Written By

Today, I’m joined by Tim Urban from Urban Creative TX, a video production company from Texas. 

We talk about the mask mandate, how COVID has affected his business, and the podcasts he's been working on. 

We dive deep into the discussion about masks, and this is what podcasts are all about - having an open dialogue  about controversial topics. 

You know me - I can’t help but play devil's advocate now and again, and I do that a fair bit in this chat. This was a very much needed conversation and I hope you enjoy the show! 

“The life expectancy for a lion is longer than it is in the wild, because there's less things to kill it. But which life would your trade for?” - Tim Urban
