If you’ve known me for awhile, you know I love meeting new people, hearing what lights them up, and discovering why they’ve chosen to devote their time and energy to an organization or cause. That’s why I’m excited to be collaborating with the Benzie Dems on a new Home of the Brave series.
I’ll be asking big questions, giving people a platform, and trying to balance depth, accessibility, and emotional resonance. I admit the framing has felt hard.
Because I care.
Because this series isn’t just content — it’s my way of loving the country and the people in it.
I’m not just producing. I’m listening, curating, and shaping meaning.
And I’m delighted to share today’s episode with Jana Goldman, Chair of the Benzie Dems. Take a listen as she shares the importance of civic engagement. Just listening made me want to DO SOMETHING!
Let me know if you’d like to be featured or if you know someone you think should be part of the series. I’ll end with this beautiful image by Julius Drost (thank you!), which seems appropriate for the series.
