Americans and our country seem to be telling different stories. Traveling around the country, I am finding an American story that government and media seem to be rewriting.

A conversation with Rex Peteet, iconic graphic designer in Austin Texas. Rex was one of a handful of designers that established a style that was distinctly Texas. We share some stories about life, design, and surviving. 

I have gathered so many stories about people growing up, the things that shape us. Talking to strangers can make a connection. This is a short story about an encounter in a rural town in Kansas.

I am in Butte, Montana, talking with Shayna, 24, part Native American, raised by grandparents, 4.0 student and a survivor.

We hate them and we love them. It's how we get our stuff, even when the country is shut down. I am in the cab talking with Brian, in Moberly, Missouri. He has logged over 3 million miles on the road. 

I wanted to know about demonstrations in Michigan, I called Brittany in Flint, to get her perspective. I talked with her last September on camera, and she is one of many that I will be contacting to catch up with their lives today. 

Join Sarah and myself taking a deep dive into our disrupted lives today. We talk about work, parenting, education, and what does normal mean today.

I am having a conversation in New York with Karen, a long time New Yorker, about life there now. As most of us know, they are being hit hard by COVID-19. I think we can learn from listening to others during this difficult time.

We hear so much about Italy with charts and graphs and projections. I thought it would be interesting to hear from someone there, living through it. Maybe we can learn something. 

What are we thinking about. What will we be thinking about. What will this look like when it is over. There will be so much to talk about.
