100 Essays Inspired by 100 Guests.
Every guest of this show inspires me. I get to talk with them about what they do and who they are. The conversations are compelling and sometimes quite intimate. I'm grateful for their trust in me. I'm enriched every time.
At the end of every episode I share 'A Personal Word' in honor of my guest. It is an opportunity for me to share my thoughts about something we may have discussed and about the life journey we are on.
I invite to you to read my reflections. I hope you find them rewarding.
