A Debut Author in His Own Words: Travis Jonker on the Path to The Very Last Castle
Travis: Get ready for a different sort of show. It’s about The Very Last Castle (my book with Mark Pett), but it’s also about creativity, perseverance, and self-doubt. I say stuff in this episode I’ve never said to another human. All the internal stuff that people fight through when trying to make something and share it with people.
We hope you enjoy.
