Tangential Inspiration

Welcome to Episode 226!  There is a lot to be inspired by in this episode.  We have people doing amazing things to revive and protect coral reefs.  We have the story of a woman's three decade long search for her missing son.  Finally we have the story of Cupcake Brown (yes that is her name) who despite an incredibly hard life made something out of herself and now inspires others to do the same.  

Warning:  the Cupcake Brown story is not for little ears and may be triggering for some.  But I promise it has a happy ending.

Come have a listen and walk away with some inspiration.

Sorry for the delay, we had some technical problems, which have impacted sound quality a little.  Hopefully it is not to noticeable, because this episode has so much powerful inspiration.  We are going to cover a life changing book and the story of a Black man who is dismantling the KKK one member at a time, then a bit about neurodivergence and how it can help change the world, and finally, the story of actor Gary Sinise and the incredible use of his fame to help wounded veterans and first responders.   There is a lot in this episode, and you are sure to find something that will inspire you.
