Can one conversation change the way you listen? In this episode, I share what I learned from talking with Tommy, my oldest guest, and Sasha, a young guest with a fresh view of life.
This conversation taught me to slow down, listen with patience, and see life in a new way. We also talk about unlearning old beliefs, trusting your own path, and finding wisdom in different generations. If you enjoy podcasts about life, personal growth, and real conversations, this episode is for you. Guests: Tommy (78) & Sasha (22).
