The Arrow of Importance with Zevan Shuster

Meaningful yet gracious conversations about crucial topics seem to be less and less of a constant in our world. On The Arrow of Importance, the goal is to help fill that void. The topics discussed are vital and relevant, and the way in which they’re talked about will hopefully be a breath of fresh air for folks whose timelines and feeds are clogged with madness. This isn’t to sound holier than thou, but let’s talk about important stuff without the bs. Welcome to The Arrow of Importance with Zevan Shuster, where the topics are wide-ranging, the guests are enlightening, and where our conversations are authentic.
