Welcome to the first episode of Shaping Opinion, a podcast about people, events and things that have shaped the way we think. Usually we’ll have a guest, but in this first episode, I revisit my own encounter with someone who has made an impact in the lives of millions, Fred Rogers, otherwise known as “Mister Rogers.”

What made this first-person experience all the more memorable was that it was a one-on-one business meeting.

In future episodes, I’ll have a guest with me as we take a closer look at people, events and things that have shaped opinion.

Spoiler alert – After this meeting, I had an even deeper appreciation for “Mister Rogers.”
