I love listening to Michelle and Craig interact with each other while interacting with their guests. The sibling banter is beautiful and reminds me that no matter how far we go in life, it’s important to keep the people who know our origin story close. In many instances they are the ones who keep us steady and grounded in our purpose in the world. I also love the choice of guests. It’s a great podcast from two voices that are very much needed and appreciated!!!
Apple Podcasts5Lariya TaliUnited States2 months ago - Exceptional time with Michelle and Craig
Been listening to the IMO podcast since the beginning. I love the dynamic between Michelle and Craig. Especially how they honor their roots and talk love and respect about their parents growing up on the South side of Chicago. I’d love to spend an afternoon at the Robinson House circa 1980s.
