This week we caught up with our classmate Jonah (Scott) Mendelsohn. We
learned so much about incredible journey. Jonah’s story has taken him from
Albuquerque to Vassar College to NYC. He has been on a path to self
discovery, and in many ways, has learned he has a lot in common today with
the person he was back in 1989. Jonah is the same kind, person you probably
remember. And yes, he still loves Sondheim musicals. You’ll love hearing
from Jonah as much as we did. Listen and enjoy!

November 02, 2023 Episode 17: Ken Pasternak
This week we spoke to Ken Pasternak, our very own class unicorn. This
conversation with Ken was everything you would imagine. Ken was reflective,
thoughtful, and open. We talked about his journey which he describes as
feeling like “several lives.” We learned about how he developed a growth
mindset and what is next for him - at least for the next six months, since
that is about as far as Ken plans ahead. We hope you enjoy this special
Halloween recording with Ken - we certainly did.

challenges. Jennifer is still the same responsible woman of great integrity
