First time I've watched James's podcast. He's a good host. Allows people to talk without butting in and asks good questions when he has the chance (a lot of interviewers can learn from him). Quincy has an admirable character. Very open and transparent seems like a solid guy. I like the fact he isn't boasting or glorifying just saying it how it is. Great interview.
