Taking a beat to touch on what shaped him artistically, his favorite illustrators, and the impact dancing has had in his adult life, Jano let us into how he makes a chaotic world feel focused and comfortable.
Good. Better. Best…Again. The Bears keep the Chi-train moving, routing the Eagles in an NFC slug fest.
