In todays world, it’s more normal for us to interact with each other through a screen than face-to-face. We’ve all become more familiarized with a person’s Instagram or Facebook profile than their hopes, dreams, or aspirations.
Let’s change this by bringing back the art of face-to-face interaction. There are so many amazing, compelling, and interesting people in this world, but we have become more disconnected with more connection. You have a story. The person next to you has a story. Let’s hear it.
Podcast music credit and gratitude goes to my good friend, Nick Filth.

Meet Tina Godfrey Hurley, one insanely inspirational human! When you grow up and a lot of your identity is wrapped in your looks and athletic ability, you would expect that having your leg amputated would begin to redefine you, in Tina's case, it has, she has gotten even more beautiful, inside and out, and is just getting started on her athletic potential!
I think you will find her very clear and thoughtful on what it takes to keep a positive outlook when things might not look too good.
Enjoy the show!
