"The gratification of seeing the effect the show has on other people and guests and listeners is incredible. I've had guests tell me it's been therapeutic to share their story in detail with someone genuinely interested in hearing it."
"I started podcasting in 2012 with a computer business podcast, doing weekly tips for non-techie people. It was designed to get more clients, but now my new show has taken the front seat."
"The power of storytelling is immense. I love when guests share their stories, and sometimes they cry while reliving their experiences. It's an honor to bring these stories to people."
