In this second PauseCast, Angie and I explore influences from our past, and how they differ from Influencers of the now, and why that matters. And of course, we finally explore why we love Alan Alda, but also Mr. Rogers, and Nancy Drew, and why THAT matters too. 

What is it about those people and things that influenced us that tells us so much about who we are?
