Two Percent with Michael Easter
Brian Koppelman: How a Hollywood Writer Got Fit at 60, Beat Anxiety & Outworked Resistance

It's like, we'd be fine with each other.

Two Percent with Michael Easter

He's like, yeah, when I, he said this publicly online to someone about me, he's like, yeah, I'm not going to sit with compliment and just talk about politics.

Two Percent with Michael Easter

Two Percent with Michael Easter

Yeah.

Two Percent with Michael Easter
Brian Koppelman: How a Hollywood Writer Got Fit at 60, Beat Anxiety & Outworked Resistance
