As Steve and I have discussed the path forward on the podcast in relation to advertising and monetizing, one thing has remained constant. We only want to work with and highlight companies and products that we use or can easily get behind their mission.

When Corey Travaglini contacted me about possibly spotlighting or partnering with Noonday, I jumped at it. Corey is interning and in school to become a licensed community chaplain by day and is a Noonday ambassador on the side to support her families extra expenses. I invited her over to the podcast studio AKA my bedroom and we talked a little bit about Noonday and her experiences as a chaplain and one the story collection.
