About Free Agents: A Pod about Sports, Culture, and Being Unemployed
3 recent NYU graduates have 3 main things in common: they all love sports, they all love to talk, and they are all unemployed. Hopefully, this can help land them a job. Andrew, Brandon, and Matt thank you in advance.
I was once a human being who found fascination in others, in believing in them; in knowing what or what things made those people what they ended up being. I used to love that way, relate that way to others
