Each week Jane Markson asks the same questions to anyone willing to answer, as she tries to figure out if we have more in common than just our navels. Whether we do or not doesn't matter — she's curious to ask, eager to listen, and enjoying conversations that wouldn't otherwise take place.

    Ep 150 - Stay Tuned ...

    This adventure started based on an idea that came to me like an Elizabeth Gilbert Big Magic Moment. I didn't have any expectations other than to welcome anyone willing to speak with me into a community where others could learn about their story – because each one of us has an important and special one to share. It's been an honor to listen and get to know so many wonderful people, and I look forward to the next iteration where we continue to explore what we have in common. I hope you listen to this wrap up with my producer Steve and his wife Jenn, and then join me again on the next installment of this journey!

    Ep 149 - Bob Pagani

    He's semi-retired from radio and now edits crappy novels and creates art that makes you scratch your head. He will tell you without hesitation about his ADHD and the fact that he doesn't plan, but drifting and leaving himself open to opportunity has led him down some amazing and surprising paths. https://www.youtube.com/@BobPagani

    Ep 148 - Steve Laret

    Steve impressed me with his incredible confidence and ability to change course whenever an opportunity for success presented itself. We may not see eye to eye on politics or raising children, but his try anything attitude is something to remember.

    Ep 147 - Midge Kirchner

    She is a self-proclaimed fireball who keep things simple for herself and her nutrition clients. She realized early on that even though she wasn't encouraged to succeed, it was her only way forward. This ballroom dancing non-spinster is as motivated as they come.

    Ep 146 - Jonathan Epstein

    He's an inventor and property manager but you will remember him most for his demeanor and the fact that he is definitely "not a jerk". He shares advice with kindness and compassion and knows from experience that getting through the difficult parts will be worth it.

    Ep 145 - Betsy McMillan

    Betsy can write anything, whether it's a scientific research article, a humorous children's book, or a harlequin romance. And she will always find a solution to accomplish her goal – even overcoming her fear of public speaking to become a lounge singer. She follows her own advice to never give up and I doubt she ever will.

    Ep 144 - Krystel Seier

    This born and bred Texas girl is a performer and writer who turned her love of theatre into a voice over career and most recently, a career in real estate. She's grateful for all her bumps in the road and has learned the lessons we all need to hear….start sooner, don't be afraid, and my personal favorite, he's not worth it.

    Ep 143 - Adrien Soriano

    Adrien loves being a pro-wrestler and performing for a crowd as much as he loves coaching and teaching his skill to the next generation of wrestlers. He has learned to listen to his instincts and be a loving and reliable brother and boyfriend. Here's to hoping he finds the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
