I'm sitting at my desk with a bag of rice in my hands. Did you know rice is planted by hand, one tiny seed at a time? I didn't either. Until I trekked through the rice terraces of Northern Vietnam where they grow the stuff, I had no idea how rice even happened. As it turns out, rice is a lot like life. In this episode, we talk about how. Follow beginagainpod on Instagram for pictures from the rice terraces of Sapa, in picturesque Northern Vietnam.
These two artists are damn good at what they do, and I couldn't have been happier to have them in the same room with me. You can tell from .5 seconds into this this that we had a good time.

Curiosity, pleasure, joy, dance, the pursuit of wonder... we cover giving ourselves permission to play in this conversation with Eliana Reyes.

Dan Ofchinick is a Scrum Master. He creates spaces for brilliant, creative people to do their best work. He helps those people get through their blocks so they can break open to brand new ideas, and turn those ideas into products that make a lot of money. Dan is the genius who makes sure the geniuses can access their genius. As it turns out, he's being doing some version of this work his whole life. We talk about how where you come from shapes who you become; how family trauma and addiction and loss give way to a unique kind of courage and resilience. This episode features a special guest, Dan's equally genius husband, Roger! I loved hearing the perspective of Dan's story from his partner, who walks through this beautiful, awful, messy, adventurous, soul shaping life with him.
