On the eighth episode of The Talks With TE Podcast, we decided to switch things up a bit. Instead of TE & B. Jones holding court with a guest, B. Jones interviews TE P. for the listeners. TE (@builtbydante) is a writer, journalist, podcaster, consultant, father, and overall mad man. He's lived many lives and continues to live each day like he may not see the next. He's been on a wild journey that past few years and is now about to walk into another purpose. In this personal and rare interview, B.
