THINKING WITH DAVID PATREON
Dear Friend,
By visiting my Patreon page and joining the Order of Thinkers, you gain access to patron-only content including early releases for episodes, exclusive audio, video and other writings I’m too embarrassed to release on the main feed.
By subscribing, these become available to you, but no worries and no pressure if you don’t want to access these things, I’m thankful to share this journey with you and continue experimenting and exploring.
