Van G. Garrett hails from Wharton, Texas. He is a poet, novelist, musician, teacher, and photographer; he's a rare artist because he excels in every medium that he chooses. While a podcast series could be solely dedicated to his travels, creations, inspirations, and the interesting people he has met along the way, we were lucky enough to talk to him on a January evening about someone who helped become the person he is today. Please listen all the way through for a special treat at the end.

The Honorable Jason Luong tells us the story of his journey from Vietnam to the United States and gives thanks to one of the many people who exhibited selflessness and kindness throughout his life.

Jason is a District Court judge in Houston, Texas, where he presides over criminal cases. Before getting elected to the bench, Jason was a big firm attorney, prosecutor, and defense attorney. He and his wife Carol, a former marine, have three children.

Rand Mintzer lives in Houston, Texas where he is a criminal defense attorney, selling author, podcast host, and husband to Andrea. They are the adoring parents of their two daughters Avery and Hayden.
