Show Notes:

Welcome back for Episode 23! Today, I want to share with you my interview with Dr. Kevin Payne, social psychologist, data scientist, author, teacher, and skydiver who took charge of his own happiness after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He decided to get back to a hobby that brought him joy and now has over 600 jumps in 3 years. He is an extremely knowledgeable person and very down to earth… ha!

For next week, I was able to achieve some firsts for the podcast. We have our first multi-paneled interview as I sit down with co-creator Chris Burnside and voice talent Stephen Gogol, and Jordan Lopez from Dayton Writer’s Movement’s The Hidden People audio drama. I listen to their show regularly and was super excited to sit down with them. I’ll admit that it is going to be a long one because that’s what happens when you get theatre people and writers into a space and let the jokes fly. If you need shenanigans in your life to cheer you up, make sure to visit again next week!
