Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. I'm so excited about our guest today. It is the incredible Quinta Brunson, who is not only funny and smart and gracious and a seemingly great boss, but is a mogul, is kind of... just an incredible driving force in an industry and in many ways saving it from extinction. No pressure.
But anyway, I'm so excited to have Quinta here to talk about all of those things and to hang. And we always like to do something at the beginning of our shows where we gather people together that know Quinta, that have worked with her, that know stuff about her that we would never know, and ask them how they feel about her and what they think I should ask her.

BuzzFeeder, okay, welcome. And then we have the big boss, Andrew Gauthier, French name, congratulations. Andrew, you were the head of BuzzFeed video when Quinta and Zach and a lot of you and Kate and Ashley were all making content together. This is not a deposition. Nothing you say will be used.
