In The Area
We are on a mission to collect wisdom nuggets. Our goal is to spotlight people with stories concerning honesty, courage, love, transcendence and everything in between. If we sit down with the right people, ask the right questions, we will come away with a piece of their wisdom to launch ourselves on our own hero's journey. Whether you're listening on your morning commute, or lounging on a Sunday morning, grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and join us in our journey to collect wisdom nuggets.
