Living and Working at the Intersection of Logic and Creativity – Revelations Podcast

Are all of the different parts of you integrated into what you do? Recently, Cole Johnson and I sat down for what turned out to be one of the most personal interviews I have experienced in a long time. Good grief! He even “went there” and asked me about my biracial marriage and challenges we have faced. {grin} Add in some business and marketing topics and it was an ecclectic conversation.

Yet, understanding those personal parts and those life experience parts is what makes me, well… me! That is the whole point of his show, Revelations. Looking at all of the intersection points of a person to see how the whole is fearfully and wonderfully made.

I had fun talking with Cole and I hope that you will enjoy listening too.
