Courage, Giraffes, and Heroes with Ann Medlock

Dr. Dan interviews the astonishing activist, author, TEDx speaker, and social entrepreneur Ann Medlock. An editor, speaker, educator and Founder of the Giraffe Heroes Project, Ann lives fully every single day grounding herself in Ram Daas’ “be here now”  and does so in her signature constantly moving pace. Ann and Dan discuss living with courage, listening to “the force” (#StarWars), embracing flow state, and as Gloria Steinam said about her poetry “...turning poetry into real life, and real life into poetry."  This lively, alive conversation reminds us that we have a finite time in this world so let’s embrace all there is to see, do, and learn. Ann tells us to live fearlessly and intentionally at 20, 30, 50, 70, or almost 92 (like Ann) and always “do the next right thing.”Please listen, follow, rate, and review Make It a Great One on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
