You’re recently married. You have a good job and a reputation in the community. You’re starting to settle in. And then a family tragedy makes you realize that “settling in” is not the goal you have in life. So, you turn it all upside down.

On this episode, Author and Journalist Maggie Downs joins hosts Patrick Evans and Randy Florence to talk about the journey that turned into the best-selling book, Braver Than You Think. You’ll hear stories from Maggie about landing in Egypt on the day of the Arab uprising. Hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Hearing the alarm sound in her ear telling her that her CHUTE NEEDS TO OPEN NOW! Remember to breathe during this episode of Big Conversations, Little Bar! Recorded in the Center of the Coachella Valley universe, Skip Paige’s Little Bar.
