Making the World Better with Stories

I just listened to the first episode with introduction and guest Amir El-Masry. I was immediately hooked and subscribed to this podcast! The host Duane is so naturally genuine, inspiring, and memorable. I walked away thinking deeply about my presence in this world, my influence upon it, and how I hope to do better tomorrow than I did today.
