Bonus Ep: Personal lessons from Humans Of New York + Audio journaling my thoughts here
Phew! I came across a story on the 'Humans Of New York' page on Instagram and I decided to find out who the founder of that awesome platform is. When I tell you discovering Brandon Stanton's journey and story encouraged me, you'll probably not understand fully. This podcast has over time become a safe place for me to share my deepest thoughts and sometimes, rant and I am so grateful for that. As you click the play button, for the next ten minutes or so, you'll be listening to my thoughts. I call this audio journaling so I hope you kinda enjoy it I guess?

Your voice message will be featured in a subsequent episode of this podcast. I look forward to listening to it honestly!

That was the question that rang in my head all through recording David's story. Go ahead and click the play button if you haven't already. There is a lot to learn and unpack from this episode.
