In this episode, Bob and I discussed his experience as a "red-headed stepchild" (his words!) and what it was like to grow up in a blended family that was not always easy. He shared the lessons that he learned as well as how being in that type of family helped him become who he is today.

"Be willing to learn and accept each others' differences and grow from them."

"Just be decent to each other."

"What can we learn from the past that will help me and encourage me in the future?"
