Who Should I be Talking To?
I'm a former professional hockey trainer turned professional country music singer and I've picked four people to interview from 3 different areas in my life (personal, sport, and music) that I think most people will find interesting, inspirational, and motivating. The interviews of these four initial people showcase many of the inspiring experiences, successes, and advice that they have for the listener. In turn, I ask each of my guests to recommend a single person that they feel have a story that needs to be told... that the world needs to hear from ....someone that I need to be talking to. Each guest will be connected to the last by the final question of "Who should I be talking to?" and we will see if there truly are six degrees of separation if and when they all intertwine as the episodes reveal themselves.
