  • It was such a pleasure speaking with Doyle and Howie - they make a great team!

    It was such a pleasure speaking with Doyle and Howie - they make a great team! Our conversation flowed easily and naturally, exploring meaningful ideas about the power of early childhood experiences and the importance of “unlearning” what no longer serves us through creativity. And of course, some poetry and storytelling read aloud by both gentleman!
