Connect the Dots - Lead the Way

Send us Fan Mail You know those people that you see online and you are drawn into their story because it’s powerful. Maybe it’s a story of change or survival or triumph. That’s what Michael Rix did when I first started following him on Instagram. Through the strings of his banjo and the words of his book, he has been able to share his story of going from cult to country. I reached out to him a cou...

Send us Fan Mail It’s the second week of the month so we are talking about neurodiversity. Today, I’m going through an update on my neurodiversity journey.

It’s important to know that you are not alone in this. Li...

Send us Fan Mail Recently I watched “The Dropout” docuseries on Hulu, which is about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. So many questions came to mind as I watched this story.

On today’s podcast I set out to review this story and analyze the impact she had or has in come cases. Then I...

Send us Fan Mail Today I’m going to dive a little deeper into a topic that was brought up in episode 74 of the 100 days of podcasts.

We wanted to bring that conversation to you. I hope you enjoy th...

Send us Fan Mail In one of the last episodes of the 100 Day Challenge, I talked about imposter syndrome. More specifically, I asked if men suffered from imposter syndrome and if they did, do they talk about it. Whenever imposter syndrome comes up in, it seems to be focused on women and how we deal with it. My friend, Tim, raised his hand and said he would love to talk about imposter syndrome with...

Send us Fan Mail It’s the second Thursday of the month so we are talking neurodiversity. Since this is the first one, we are going to start with the history of Neurodiversity.
