Deep dives

Navigating the Impact of Wildfires

Recent wildfires in Los Angeles have prompted gratitude and compassion for emergency service workers and those affected by the disaster. Notable individuals like Rich Roll and Eric Paquette, who live in the impacted areas, have faced evacuations but remain grateful that their homes currently stand. Amidst the destruction, there's a collective acknowledgment of the pain being experienced by neighbors and friends during these challenging times. This context sets a reflective tone for the episode, where deeper personal discussions unfold.
