037 - Fear

Russian With Max
About this episode

No, no, no...

I'm not gonna tell you about darkness, vampires, and horror films... although it sounds interesting :D

Today I want to talk about my recent trip to Moscow and what I experienced being an 'technical engineer' during a preparation for Julia's summer camp.

At the end we will discuss a bit such things as 'What does fear mean?" and 'How it ruins our daily life, ahah'!

Let's begin!
