  • Insightful

    I’ve learned a lot listening to the “What Now” podcast. Mary Alice‘s interviews teach and inspire me. She is not afraid to talk about the tough subjects. The questions she asks her guests are insightful. I like the way she makes it very clear where people can get resources if they want additional help.

Q: What did qualifying for American Ninja Warrior represent to you beyond the physical accomplishment?
