If life really is a gift, how do we make every second count? We start with a photo and see where we end up. Join me as I meet amazing people and discover whatever rabbit holes come up. Every conversation is surprising and inspiring. Join us!
We live life going forward but make sense by looking back. Sitting with Tong Ge, talk about making sense of a life.
Join us as she explains what it was like to live in China during the Cultural Revolution, and how she had to live away from her parents due to her father being a professor during those opaque, difficult times.
Then let yourself get carried away by her stories around finding her passions, which included the writing of her family history into a trilogy. Just incredible.
Check out her first book in the series, "The House Filler".
Thank you Tong Ge. Just so inspiring.

210 - Machiel Hoek on the Soul Who Saved the World
After a two-month hiatus of not recording, Machiel Hoek and I sat for a truly inspiring conversation. So good!
Machiel joined from Amsterdam and dove right into the world of phobias, fears and anxiety – but as a way to answer the question of what is the meaning of life?
We then discussed Burning Man, how his son came to be, and then the lens or mirror we use to make sense of the world.
Definitely worth checking out is his best-selling novel, now translated into English and available as "The Girl Who Changed the World."
Thank you so much, Machiel for putting such goodness into the world.

209 - Don Sawyer on Appreciating the Different Ways of Being
Welcome aboard Don Sawyer! But actually, it's who you took us on a world tour.
Starting with the shot of a lone car on a deserted road in Newfoundland, Canada, Don brought us from there to Nicaragua, The Gambia, and then Louisiana. The common thread throughout? That we all experience life in our own unique ways, and that we can learn and appreciate them all.
Humble, curious, thoughtful and empathic – listen in to Don's amazing stories of travelling the world and also putting these experiences into text, such as his novel, "The Burning Gem."
Just amazing!

Inside a recent episode
101 – Jen Nash on How to Use the Big Power of Tiny Connections to Live a Great Life
Published 27 Feb 2022 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Sure. Yeah. I think that's true, but my book is definitely not how to be open to the bad, right? My book is trying to help people get more good by being more present, more aware, more vulnerable, more open. And also, how do you look at life? I am training, I hope, people to look at situations in a different way because you're exactly right. Most people would never ask a guy on the street for a tour of their home. But what I know as someone in real estate is he worked very hard. He changed his house. He probably was very proud and he was, and he had good reason to be very proud. His home is gorgeous. […]
