Do you ever wonder why you want to do the things you do? Maybe why you started something isn't the why that keeps you going later in life.

A friend asked me why I podcast, and that made me think about how I started, by interviewing dynamic and intriguing people from my circle and how this fun pandemic time filler has evolved for me into an intellectually and emotionally challenging journey. Maybe your whys in life have also taken different turns!
