Madeleine Ackels agreed to be the first guest on the Ackels Family Interview project. In this conversation, we discuss Madeleine's love of "small things", including her current home of Salt Lake City, her year of volunteering in Micronesia, and her new artistic venture "Shards by Mads". Madeleine has never been afraid to show emotion, and she exhibits the rare skill to wear it all on her sleeve. This fun first interview is a great way to get the ball rolling on this project!

Madeleine's chosen opening song: "Lovers in Japan" by Coldplay
