A quick personal update and a request
I'd love to connect with more folks. Please recommend someone for 'Tell Me a Story"
You may have noticed a bit of a lull around these parts the past few weeks. Mostly because life got in the way with some exciting times - including the graduation of our oldest from high school.
Life will continue to get in the way this summer as we run against deadlines and goals until our graduate moves to NYU in September.
There’s other stuff but I can’t talk about it right now. I guess consider that a tease. All in due time.
That’s the personal update, and now on to some business.
I’ve been after some folks to join me on Tell Me a Story. I’d love to hear a few stories this summer.
I’ve been badgering quite a few folks for awhile now. They might be tired of hearing from me.
This means I could use a little help in my badgering of people who could share a story with me. That’s where you come in.
I’d love to hear from you if you have any recommendations for someone who would be open to sharing a personal story with me. Or maybe you’re ready now (don’t be shy).
Comment or reply to the newsletter to let me know. Perhaps you could share an episode with your person as well so they don’t have some rando asking them to be on a podcast they’ve never heard about.

Backpacking Europe with Priya at 25
Imagine all the books you’ve read or the movies you’ve seen about the picturesque adventures of young people backpacking across Europe. Meeting strangers who become new friends. The food, museums and the culture of places that many others will never experience.
And for his next trick, Tony will reinvent himself yet again
Tony has lived several lives and survived challenges that really should have been the end. It’s through chasing after what brings him joy that’s kept him going. And he’s finding it in an unusual place, at least it is unusual for a 60-year-old beginner.
