Throughout our lives, the events, conversations, and those seemingly happenstance “right place, right time” moments can have a profound impact on the decisions we make, the career paths we choose, and the outcomes that have led us to exactly where we are today.  These moments of truth are often tipping points that can change us forever… so what if we could actually recognize those experiences in real time and lean into them as they happen?   

Welcome to Live & Learn, a podcast that explores the personal stories behind these critical moments, the lessons others have learned, and strategies for slowing down in order to architect your own trajectory— perhaps further and in new ways than you ever imagined.
