I love the focus on why podcast is fantastic.
A different show with a clear purpose
Amy does such a fantastic job in having a real and authentic conversation with her guest. She has a perfect balance of asking just enough to take the conversation to a deeper level. She allows her guests space to reflect so they can give the listener a more meaningful perspective. This show is a must listen!
This is the RIGHT Question
Focusing on "why" provides so much clarity in our everyday lives. Without the awareness of why we choose things, we start heading down a path that was unintended. Thank you for bringing to us such a great topic and podcast.
