484 - Shop Talk Special Report with Billy Baumann and Aaron Sechrist

So... maybe you got some news the other day you weren't quite expecting. Maybe you're feeling a bit uncertain about the future as you thought you knew it. Take a deep breath. Now another. Mark Brickey, Billy Baumann and OK Pants bring you a Special Report Shop Talk about the recent US Election results and the projected impact it will have. What does this mean for our economy and your independence? What does this mean for our neighbors and their children? Are frisbees finally cool? It's times like these that hearing a friend or three talk about what sits on the very near horizon once the Presidency changes hands can soothe a few nerves and answer a few questions about what to expect as the signs of doom and gloom fill our social media feeds from friends and heroes alike. Join Adventures In Design for an open dialogue about the state of our nation for the next four years and how it will affect the creative marketplace.
