“Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the oldest of them all?” 

Our production partners, SESSION in PROGRESS reverse the idea of judging a book AND JUDGE US! Judging us based purely on our professional headshots. If we dare to judge a brand from exterior then it’s only fair we turn the mics against ourselves.

The season 1 finale of JAB is here!
