Why Transparency Matters (feat. Lucy Bellwood): This week, Brad and Dave welcome professional adventure cartoonist Lucy Bellwood. Lucy delivered a jaw-droppingly honest look at the life of a professional freelancer at the XOXO Festival last year, and it seemed only natural to discuss the importance of transparency in a professional so driven by social media. But first, Brad asks if they've ever performed a snow-day ritual. Lucy's official site is https://lucybellwood.com/ by Comic Lab
