The Beauty of Imperfection with Winston Marshall Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

So some of you know about my obsession with Mumford and Sons, a band I fell in love with when I was 15 years old. I was super stoked to talk to Winston Marshall, the former banjo player in the band who has since been exploring his personal relationship with identity, freedom of expression, and spirituality.

Check out this interview where we talk about the ethics of nationalism (seemingly random, I know), what true religion requires, and more. Cheers!
