We made it to season 2! Thanks for sticking with me and welcome to anyone that is checking out the show for the first time.
This episode is a bit different in that, I was the one being interviewed. You may remember Jay Perry who was a guest on episodes 6 & 7 in season one who is the host in this episode. Back when Jay was on the show he had the idea of interviewing me for the season two premiere and I thought that would be cool. I briefly shared my story in the first episode of the show and have shared little bits in other episodes but in this one, we dive a little deeper into the details.
We talk about how I started my career by going to film school and then dropping out when I found out I was sick. How I kept working in the industry while I was on dialysis which is ultimately what put me on the path that I am on today.
We go into detail about my kidney transplant and how that affected my life and in many ways, continues to affect and influence the decisions that I make.
This was a lot of fun and I'm glad that Jay was on board to host the show for an episode. Maybe I'll bring him back!
Here are a few links to thinks that I mentioned in the show:
