Iyanla Vanzant is one of the most interesting guests I’ve ever had. In this talk she deeply analyzes the world, herself, me, everything. She’s a fountain of wisdom. I generally am skeptical of spiritual guru types but this woman is doing the work of saving people. And this conversation shows me how deeply she thinks and cares about people.
