Here's something that a lot of people don't know. My whole career is actually an accident. It all started when I set out to refind my passion, to reignite a spark that I had lost, and that set me on the path that I am on now. It's also how I find myself at a very trendy job of podcaster. This wasn't supposed to be a thing.

We decided to do just a few episodes during lockdown just to give people a bit of optimism as we were all going through it. Well, the more episodes we made, the more people kept listening. So here we are, many seasons later. And because it's my podcast, I can do whatever I want, and I choose to talk to people who have something to teach me. who challenge me, who help me see the world in a new way.

I am as much a student of each episode as you are. Some of the people I talk to may be familiar to us, some of them less so, but what they all have in common is that I think they have something to share that is worth listening to, even if I disagree with them, which sometimes I do, and we keep all of that in there. So if you're looking for a little spark, some insight, some inspiration, or just a reminder that good things are possible, join me on a bit of optimism. And let's grow together.
