Great podcast for some quick but thought provoking bite size conversations.

I found this podcast an easy way to take a break from the inundated news on the pandemic and take a moment to reflect. The host and guest speakers are all great. It’s also a non-overwhelming 10-15 min out of my day which I appreciate.
