Interested? Good! We are too ;)46 min

- SparkTO2019 welcomes Dave DameIt's a funny thing that vulnerability got such a bad rap somewhere. Perhaps it's through misunderstanding what it really means. Perhaps it's the misconception that we are weaker for showing our vulnerable self. Perhaps we're full of horseshit and need to get over ourselves.
