  • The podcast you didn’t know you needed

    For some, reinvention is something we do to accommodate a situation. For others, change is thrust upon them by circumstance, tragedy or necessity. more

  • Fantastically funny and entertaining.

    I adore the interaction Jeff has with each of his guests. I laugh out loud as I have many similar reactions when listening that he does. Probably a localized, generational thing. Jeff has fantastic guests and asks great questions and I love when stories get shared. Thanks for doing this podcast and letting us in on this life!

  • Fascinating, funny, thoughtful and heartbreaking interviews

    Jeff masterfully and hilariously shares and connects with some fascinating and incredible guests. Jeff listens deeply and brings us great stories of art, work, frustration and heartbreak from others who’ve struggled and stressed—both pre- and post-pandemic. I love to love this.
