Chris Gassman of The Market and the Good podcast posted two episodes with me. The first covered my work in under 10 minutes. Since I described my podcast 4-step process, he chose to try it out, which we did for the second episode, as a deep dive. Most podcast hosts shy away from being guests on their shows.

We’re probably all used to keynotes delivered from people’s homes, but on March 24th it was still new. The people[…] Keep reading →
James Lipton, who started and hosted the show Inside the Actors Studio, died yesterday.
