Take a step back to the summer of 2020, the height of the pandemic, as we unveil the prequel to our podcast—the story of its birth. This episode marks our very first recording, offering a glimpse into what this project means to us, our grand vision for it, and the roots from which it all sprang. It's the blueprint and inception of every idea that fuels this podcast.

Through our candid reflections, you'll uncover the profound meaning behind our coined term for our community, the "Almost Clan," and learn why we identify as leaders rather than experts, embracing the roles of both learners and teachers. We open up about our intent to share the invaluable resources from our personal self-development journeys, emphasize the importance of community and integration in the change process, and delve into Isa's belief that “change is an action sport”.

This episode is an invitation for curious souls on their transformational quests to join us, find inspiration, and muster the courage to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of change alongside us.
