    Finding My Family part II, Episode 26 with Jesse Dufresne and the Quon clan

    I've always wanted to do a follow up to episode 20 where I met my biological mom and sister. This episode took months to produce and to schedule calls with the entire family from all over the united states and multiple time zones. In the end, I asked co-founder Jesse Dufresne to join me again to help put this episode together. This podcast is my gift to the Quon family and for accepting me and helping me bridge the gap of biology and enriching my life in ways I could only imagine. Enjoy.

    Franc Anton Harwart: Lessons From Dying Twice in One Night

    I've often heard stories of those who have died and then come back. They have such amazing stories of visions of white light, family members past etc. This is the Journey of my friend Franc. We worked together many years ago and have a very cool connection that hasn't dimmed in the years that have past. Franc flat lines not once but twice in the span of a few hours. I'm so honored and humbled that we got this moment to document his journey back from death.
