Episodes
Join me as I sit down with entrepreneurs, artists, advocates, doctors, parents, pro athletes, media personalities…the list goes on… as we discuss their path to living, learning and betting on themselves. We’ll talk candidly about leveraging past experiences, determining which chances were worth taking, the highs and lows, and finding your inner compass.
