Dear Wonderful Readers,It's the moment many of you have been patiently waiting for: The Intimacy Journal is officially live on Kickstarter!

In this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we are treated to a rare dialogue with John Donovan, renowned technology executive and board member, whose career has spanned transformative eras at AT&T and who continues to shape the strategies of some of the world's biggest companies. This conversation moves from leadership lessons around innovation and timing, through the current AI revolution and its economic implications, to personal reinvention in the face of relentless technological change. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Leading through Technology and Perfect Timing John Donovan shares candid insights about what it truly takes to lead technology for corporations at massive scale. He highlights that while choosing the right technology is challenging, selecting the right time to invest and deploy is even more crucial. Drawing from his stewardship of AT&T during pivotal events, including the company's exclusive deal with Apple for the first iPhone, Donovan explains the delicate balance between being too early, which leads to overspending, and being too late, which risks losing market leadership. He stresses the necessity of a structured process and assembling trusted teams to ensure efficient and impactful execution. This approach, he maintains, applies as much to revolutionary events of the past like the smartphone era as it does to today's accelerating world of artificial intelligence.   The New Industrial Revolution: AI's Economic and Organizational Impact A major theme of the conversation revolves around the unprecedented buildout of infrastructure and investment occurring in AI. Donovan sees AI as the dawn of a new industrial age: one that, for the first time, is manufacturing intelligence itself. He explains that the billions being spent on infrastructure, real estate, and hardware underpin a transformation with no real historical precedent. With AI attributed to fueling a significant portion of current GDP growth, Donovan believes that while the hype is justified, it's still early days. Like the early years of the iPhone, when supporting infrastructure lagged behind exponential demand, today's rapid investment in AI is setting the groundwork for productivity and business model innovation across industries. The conversation touches on how traditional organizational roles and entire sectors are preparing for disruption; category leaders are poised to emerge quickly, and those companies that cannot adapt may not survive.   Reinventing Leadership and the Rise of the Creator Capitalist Donovan offers a personal take on how the pace of change is shifting what it takes to be a successful executive. He predicts that in the near future, the average age of top industry CEOs will drop significantly, as the new environment favors younger leaders who are native to emerging technologies. Experience, he suggests, is being surpassed in value by competency and the capacity to continually self-educate and reinvent oneself. Expanding on the evolution of work itself, Donovan aligns with Christopher's view that we are moving beyond the traditional "knowledge worker" into an era where net new knowledge creation and leveraging AI to build new value will define career success. This creator-driven approach requires not just technical skill, but also imagination and the courage to challenge existing processes. As AI increasingly automates repetitive and procedural tasks, human creativity in integrating and orchestrating these new tools will become the key differentiator across all fields.

Cindy Lim is the founder and Head of Brand for a new app called Yuzu. Launched in early 2024 by Match Group (the same company behind Tinder, Hinge, etc), Yuzu brands itself as a social + dating platform aimed at the Gen Z Asian community (but open to all). Many mainstream dating apps are generalized; Yuzu is part of a trend of “niche” dating/social apps catering to specific demographics (in this case Asian community) and offering more than just dating.  The social mode emphasizes friendship/community (not just hookups/dating) which is increasingly important to younger users.  By embedding culture (heritage, interests, community events) it hopes to foster deeper connections rather than superficial ones. The core target is the Asian diaspora (Asian Americans, Asian immigrants, pan-Asian culture) looking for social or romantic connection. It also welcomes people of any race/ethnicity so long as they engage respectfully with the cultural focus.  It's especially for people who want both friendship/community and the option of dating in the same space: Yuzu tries to blend those rather than only romance. It's attracting people who are comfortable with culturally-aware branding (celebrating Asian heritage, culture, shared values) — it's not a purely “swipe and date” generic app. www.joinyuzu.com

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the official launch of the UK's Digital ID (Brit Card) which has been mandated on the public under the guise of stopping mass migration. Prime Minister Starmer claims it will bring the UK into a "modern age." Tyranny comes under the guise of convenience. With this new technocratic ID rolled out, Starmer says if you have to prove who you are without your digital ID, you will be fined 85 pounds every single time. Interestingly, this sounds a lot like something they did in 2021... Using teenagers in a promotional video for the digital ID, he claims it will make life easier. This is usually what they say before they roll out surveillance. It's either about making things easier, safer or for national security purposes. All a lie. Starmer recently threatened people in one video saying, " You don't HAVE to do exactly as I say... NO, you don't HAVE to... but... life won't be easy if you don't, love." Starmer made this statement while giggling through gritted teeth. He's threatening people to bow to this program. When they say it's "voluntary," one must remember that this includes you giving up your driver's license, job, bank account, rent, passport and more if you don't comply. If that doesn't sound coercive to you, give your head a shake. They're rolling out additional digital IDs in the UK for children. This happens as Canada attempts to create internet IDs and restrict people from accessing the internet if they say something the government doesn't like. This is happening as the EU rolls out both their digital ID as well as the CBDC Digital Euro this month. Mexico is rolling out biometric CURP IDs. The United States has rolled out Real-ID, the GENIUS Act and many corporations are rolling out digital IDs and social credit systems. 86 million bank accounts were closed in Vietnam for not complying with their new biometric digital ID system. With the recent Amazon outage, they're using whatever excuses they need to roll out this new surveillance system. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

One of the biggest questions subscription box owners ask is: Where do I find products for my box? There's no single “right” answer because the best sourcing strategy depends on where you are in your business journey.  In this quick Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm breaking down three key sourcing methods - wholesale, trade shows, and manufacturing - and showing you how each one fits a different stage of subscription box growth. Stage 1: Just Getting Started. Start with Wholesale If you're still prepping for launch or working toward your first 50–100 subscribers, wholesale is your best friend. It's flexible, affordable, and helps you learn what your audience loves without over-committing. Why it works: Low minimums let you order small quantities. Fast turnaround means you can ship quickly. It's the easiest way to test different product types. Challenges with wholesale: Smaller profit margins. Less exclusivity. Limited branding options Stage 2: You've Launched. Trade Shows & Curated Finds Once you've launched and built momentum, it's time to elevate your box. Trade shows and curated wholesale marketplaces help you discover unique, small-batch, and boutique items that give your box that “wow” factor. Why it works: You'll find more distinctive products. Meeting vendors face-to-face often leads to better pricing or exclusivity. You can start building your signature brand style. Challenges with trade shows and curated marketplaces: Travel costs and larger order requirements. Longer lead times mean planning boxes further ahead. Stage 3: Ready to Scale. Manufacturing When your subscription is stable and you're ready to increase margins or stand out even more, manufacturing can be a game-changer. But there are two levels to consider: Option 1: Stock Product from Manufacturers Buy from manufacturer catalogs and add your own branding or packaging. This is a great bridge between wholesale and full custom. Pros: better margins, faster turnaround, and the ability to add your own brand touches. Cons: limited product selection and minimal exclusivity. Option 2: Full Custom Manufacturing Design your own products from scratch for total control and differentiation. Pros: complete customization, higher perceived value, stronger brand identity. Cons: higher minimums, longer timelines, and bigger upfront costs. Sourcing Is a Journey, Not a Jump You'll probably use all of these sourcing methods at some point: Start with wholesale. Grow into trade shows. Add manufacturer stock for better margins. Move to custom products when you're ready. Take Action Identify your current sourcing stage and make one move this week that aligns with it: New? Order your first wholesale products. Growing? Research an upcoming trade show or apply for a wholesale marketplace account. Scaling? Reach out to a manufacturer and ask about their minimums. Every step forward brings you closer to the box and the brand you're meant to build. Join me for this episode, where I'll help you figure out which sourcing strategy fits your stage of business and how to take the next step with confidence.

Local authorities are boosting their cyber-security systems with the official launch of Ireland's first tailored IT apprenticeship programme for county and city councils. Ten local authorities across Ireland have joined the initiative, which aims to equip staff with the skills and expertise to protect local government networks and data from cyber-attacks. The Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Programme, which allows employees to train while they work, was officially launched by Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Marian Harkin and Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, John Cummins in Dundalk, Co Louth. Representatives from the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), which has collaborated with FIT (Fastrack into Information Technology) to deliver the programme, also attended the launch. The scheme features a 70:30 split between workplace learning and off-the-job training. This means the participants are applying the most up-to-date theoretical knowledge to IT practice in local authorities. When completed, the programme will equip participants with the skills and knowledge to work in cybersecurity roles within the local government sector, and they will receive an Advanced Certificate in Cybersecurity (NFQ Level 6). The first cohort of 14 participants began in June, serving their apprenticeships in 10 local authorities and the LGMA. Minister Harkin said the programme opens doors for new talent but also empowers local government's existing workforce. "This apprenticeship is a powerful example of how targeted education and training can support the evolving needs of our public sector, "By investing in both new talent and upskilling existing staff, we are not only strengthening cyber resilience within local government, but also building a future-ready workforce equipped to meet the challenges of a digital society. In addition, this programme supports a number of Government priorities, including growing the number of apprentices within the Public Service." Minister Cummins added: "The Government is committed to expanding apprenticeship and traineeship numbers on a sectoral basis alongside established primary recruitment processes. Today marks an important step in building cyber resilience within local government. "As global vulnerabilities continue to rise in threatening the security of our IT systems, this pioneering programme showcases the dedication of public servants in safeguarding our communities through stronger cyber resilience. This programme demonstrates the commitment of the local government sector to achieve the targets set out in the Public Service Apprenticeship Plan to provide programmes that offer a route to qualifications and careers in a range of diverse areas and to establish the sector as an employer of choice by attracting, retaining and developing its staff." Training takes place online and in person in the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence in Dundalk, where the launch took place. This initiative supports key goals outlined in the Local Government Digital and ICT Strategy 2030 and the Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025, contributing to the development of a skilled digital workforce in the local government sector. The training programme is being delivered by FIT. CEO Peter Davitt said: "We are proud to launch Ireland's first workforce development apprenticeship for local government. "By embracing tech apprenticeships, this model proactively addresses the challenge of skills obsolescence in today's fast-evolving digital landscape, ensuring that public sector digital services remain robust, secure, and future-ready for the benefit of communities nationwide." Chief Executive Officer of the LGMA, Pauline Mulligan added: "Upskilling current local authority employees is central to our digital transformation strategy, ensuring that they are equipped with the expertise needed to safeguard ...

Our Chief Reporter Barry Whyte was at Citywest last night and explain what was last night like.

What if saying yes to significance over money could unlock a decade of impact and lead you to build the business you were always meant to create? In this episode, Steve Caton, founder of Altezza Solutions and fractional sales expert, shares his remarkable journey from rejecting his banker father's career path to becoming a champion for trapped founders. Through four pivotal relationships, each arriving at exactly the right moment, Steve learned the art of relational sales, the discipline of the sales process, the courage to choose significance, and the confidence to finally launch his own company. His mission? Freeing brilliant founders from the sales trap so they can lead their vision while spending more time at the dinner table with their families. Steve reflects on how the right mentors at the right time shaped his career and why he believes the fractional sales model is a game-changer for emerging growth companies stuck between $1-5 million in revenue.   [00:06:00] What Altezza Does Altezza = Italian word for "altitude" (inspired by Colorado living) Provides fractional sales expertise AND execution Frees brilliant founders trapped doing sales instead of leading their vision Allows business owners to focus on what truly matters: building their extraordinary future [00:06:40] The Sales Trap is Real Emerging growth businesses started by visionary innovators Founders know they need to stop selling but don't have the framework Can't attract top-tier salespeople without proper sales infrastructure Hiring inexperienced or commission-only reps almost always fails [00:08:20] The Innovator's Journey Steve discovered he's wired as an innovator and starter Thrives in early-stage growth companies ($1-5M revenue range) Gets restless when companies become routine without innovation Spent career helping companies bring in their first real salesperson [00:11:00] The COVID Pivot Waited until last son graduated college to start the business Launched during COVID pandemic, initially seemed like bad timing Actually worked in their favor: remote work became normalized Altezza operates 100% remotely, selling remotely [00:12:00] The Sweet Spot Client Professional services or technology firms $1-5 million in revenue range Founder still trapped in the sales motion Highly relational, consultative sales needed Can sell remotely without boots-on-the-ground [00:13:00] Three Service Models Do It Yourself: Client has sales infrastructure, just needs the right salesperson Done With You: Some documentation exists, needs tweaking and 90-day support Done For You: Everything lives in founder's head, must extract, document, and build systems [00:14:40] Beyond the Numbers Stories of 40% sales increases and doubled revenue matter But the real win: founders getting home for dinner more often Client's wife thanked their salesperson: "My husband is home for dinner way more" Freedom founders dreamed of when starting their business [00:17:40] Four Pivotal People [00:18:40] 1. His Dad: The Passion Banking and finance background Ton of passion, drive, fire, and energy Steve internalized that drive but knew banking wasn't his path Couldn't envision putting on a suit and tie every day [00:19:23] 2. David: The Relational Sales Master Left high-paying pharmaceutical job to start real estate company Invited Steve to get real estate license and sell with him 10 years older, taught Steve everything about relationship-driven sales How to build rapport, ask open-ended questions, and shut up and listen Made way more money in real estate than he would have in banking [00:22:11] 3. Doug Sherman: The Process Guru Held record for highest math score on Air Force Academy entrance exam Sales consultant for companies like Boeing Helped Boeing overcome getting "their butt kicked by Airbus" Game changer: Taught Steve about sales PROCESS for the first time [00:25:24] 4. Jerry Melek: The Significance Prophet Grandfather of kid on Steve's son's football team Career counselor and recruiter with strong faith Steve at crossroads: high-paying jobs vs. low-paying significant opportunity Jerry's challenge: "You told me you wanted significance. This is black and white. Which job is about significance? If you care about significance and not money, this is a no-brainer." Hit Steve right between the eyes, he was too fearful to do what he felt led to do [00:29:00] 5. Don Martin: The Business Leadership Mentor Former Century 21 executive team member Gave Steve the tools to actually LEAD a company and be a business owner Helped Steve see he wasn't launching Altezza because of fear "God created you for this moment: see it, own it, have faith, take the step" Still there for challenges, rough days, pep talks, and "kicks in the ass" [00:31:40] The Ripple Effect Moment Leaving the company Jerry helped him join Spontaneous going away party with his team One by one shared the impact Steve had on them Gave him caricature with signatures and encouragement [00:34:49] The "Go With Others" Glass Gift from team member at that farewell gathering Reminder of ripple effects Steve won't get to see Still uses it 9 years later: an anchor to that meaningful season Physical reminder of choosing significance over salary KEY QUOTES "We don't get wherever we are in life by ourselves.

#636 What if a simple TikTok video filmed by a seven-year-old could launch a million-dollar business? Or lead to a deal on Shark Tank? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Justin Baer, the founder and CEO of Collars & Co., a Mark Cuban-backed menswear brand that's changing how professional men dress.

In this episode, Cilliers Jordaan from South Africa's Lift Airlines shares how putting customers first isn't just a slogan, it's their survival strategy. Launched in just 90 days during the height of COVID, Lift discovered something radical: give people flexibility when they need it, talk to them like humans (not chatbots), surprise them with onboard fashion shows and live music, and they'll keep coming back. From adding business class because customers asked for it, to partnering with local artists who needed a platform, this is aviation built on genuine connection. Flying does not have to feel transactional, and Lift is proving it one passenger at a time.---------------This episode of On Your Flight Today is brought to you by IFECtiv, an inflight entertainment and connectivity consulting company.

In today's world, aging brings both wisdom and challenges—yet conversations about dementia are too often whispered in the shadows of fear and stigma. What if a single one-hour session could replace those whispers with confident, compassionate action? That's the promise of the Dementia Friends program: a global movement revolutionizing how communities support individuals living with dementia, and those who love them.On a recent Positive Aging Community podcast, host Steve Gurney spoke with Jennifer Hammer, Assistant Director of Dementia Friendly America at USAging, and Marty Williman, Program Director at the Ohio Council for Cognitive Health. Together, they described Dementia Friends as not just educational, but deeply human—designed to foster inclusion, reduce isolation, and demonstrate that living well with dementia is possible.A Global Movement Rooted in EmpathyDementia Friends isn't clinical; it's for everyone—neighbors, cashiers, librarians, even zoo staff. Launched in the US in 2016, the program is now part of a worldwide network across 50+ countries, aiming to change how we think, act, and speak about dementia. Under the umbrella of Dementia Friendly America and USAging, Dementia Friends works alongside the Dementia Friendly Communities initiative and Memory Cafe Alliance, each supporting those impacted by dementia. Williman noted, “We haven't found a community sector yet that couldn't use this information.” With most people with dementia living in their communities, not nursing homes, these programs help everyone play a part in creating supportive environments.Inside a Dementia Friends SessionSessions are casual, interactive, and welcoming—no prior knowledge required. Led by trained volunteers called Champions, each session covers basics: what dementia is, types, and risk factors. But the heart lies in five core messages—crowdsourced from people with dementia in the UK—that debunk myths with hope:Dementia isn't a normal part of aging; it's caused by brain disease.It's more than memory loss—judgment, communication, and decision-making are also affected.Living well with dementia is possible, grounded in adaptation, dignity, and respect.Capping off the hour are practical tips and an “action pledge.” Participants receive resources customized for their region. Williman shared that nearly everyone knows someone impacted by dementia, and that the networking these sessions spark is often life-changing.From Fear to Hope: Real StoriesThe program's impact is seen in how perceptions shift: Asked what words come to mind before and after a session, people move from “fear” and “regression” to “hope,” “respect,” and “fighter.” Williman recalled an attendee who decided to reconnect with a sibling living with dementia after years; others, like first responders and adult day staff, now embed Dementia Friends in orientation and ongoing training. Ohio's program is adapted for developmental disability communities, faith groups, and even those aging in incarcerated settings—underscoring its universal relevance.Looking Ahead: Dementia FriendsgivingMomentum for Dementia Friends is building. On November 18, 2025, Dementia Friendly America will host its free “Dementia Friendsgiving” event, with expert sessions, networking, and a keynote by acclaimed dementia educator Teepa Snow. Hosted by Gurney, it's a major national inflection point for inclusion and learning. Find details and registration at dfamerica.org.Why This MattersDementia touches people of all backgrounds—young, old, at book clubs or airports. Dementia Friends proves that awareness bridges stigma and empathy, empowering anyone to make a difference. Hammer summed up the impact: “This is the most positive job I've ever had.” Williman emphasized the ripple effect: change starts with one person, one action, one community.

Modern France and Britain were forged in the fires of the Hundred Years War, a century-long conflict that produced deadly English longbowmen, Joan of Arc’s heavenly visions, and a massive death toll from Scotland to the Low Countries. The traditional beginning and end of the Hundred Years' War are conventionally marked by the start of open conflict in 1337, when Edward III of England laid claim to the French throne – and France invalidated English claims to continental lands -- and its conclusion with the French victory at the Battle of Castillon in 1453, the fall of the last English holdings on the continent. But Michael Livingston, today’s guest and author of “Blood Crowns: A New History of the Hundred Years War” argues redefines the scope and length of the Hundred Years War, arguing it really lasted from 1292–1492. And it didn’t just engulf England and France, but into regions like the Low Countries, Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire. It spread to the whole European continent and, eventually, the globe as the war's end spurred European powers to pursue their imperial ambitions abroad. The Hundred Years' War was also a period of significant military innovation, particularly with the English longbow and the introduction of gunpowder Livingston revises our understanding of the Two Hundred Years War as one that set the stage for a new global imperial order with ripple effects across the centuries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The start of the new school year brings the usual set of challenges for students as they navigate new schedules, lesson plans and social dynamics. Those changes can also take a toll on a student’s mental health. A survey conducted in 2023 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found, for example, that 40% of high school students nationwide reported depressive symptoms - an increase of more than 10% since 2013. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory in 2021 warning about worsening youth mental health, exacerbated by the pandemic and excessive use of social media.     The Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health at University of Oregon is working to help address this crisis of youth mental health. Launched in 2022, the institute is pioneering the first program of its kind in the nation to educate and train a new class of healthcare workers: child behavioral health specialists. The 4-year program provides an alternative to the additional years and cost a student would typically have to spend in graduate school to become, for example, a school psychologist or social worker. Instead, the undergraduates in the program obtain 700 hours of applied training that starts their junior year with internships at Portland area schools, clinics and community organizations. While they can’t provide diagnoses or conduct psychological evaluations, the interns can help prevent and mitigate behavioral health challenges by teaching, for example, problem-solving strategies or coping skills kids can use during stressful situations.     Joining us for more details are Cody Ghion, an assistant clinical professor at UO’s Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health; Sophia Morgan, a UO senior and child behavioral health intern who is currently working at a high school in Portland for students in recovery from substance use; and Anne Libby, who is also a UO senior and child behavioral health intern currently working at a pediatric clinic in Hillsboro.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the intriguing potential for life on the dwarf planet Ceres, explore NASA's latest mission to study the heliosphere, and celebrate the achievements of the University of Melbourne's Spirit Nanosat.Ceres: A Potentially Habitable World?Recent research published in Science Advances suggests that Ceres, currently a frigid and frozen world, may have once harboured conditions suitable for life. By modelling the planet's thermal and chemical history, scientists propose that Ceres could have sustained a long-lasting energy source, allowing for microbial metabolism. While there's no direct evidence of life, the findings indicate that Ceres had the necessary ingredients—water, carbon, and chemical energy—that could have supported single-celled organisms in its ancient past.Nasa's New Heliospheric MissionNASA has launched the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) to investigate the heliosphere, the magnetic bubble surrounding our solar system. This mission aims to enhance our understanding of solar wind and its interactions with interstellar particles, which are crucial for assessing space weather impacts on Earth. IMAP will operate alongside the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory and NOAA's Swifo L1 spacecraft, contributing to a comprehensive study of our solar environment.Spirit Nanosat's Milestone AchievementThe University of Melbourne's Spirit nanosatellite has successfully completed its initial mission phase, deploying its thermal management system and taking a selfie in space. Launched in December 2023, Spirit is equipped with a miniaturised gamma-ray detector to search for gamma-ray bursts, marking a significant advancement in small satellite technology and scientific exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesScience Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvNASA IMAP Missionhttps://www.nasa.gov/imapUniversity of Melbourne Spirit Nanosatellitehttps://www.unimelb.edu.au/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Ceres: A Potentially Habitable World?NASA's New Heliospheric MissionSpirit Nanosat's Milestone Achievement(00:00) New study claims the dwarf planet Ceres could once have been habitable enough for life(05:14) The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe will study the heliosphere(15:58) New study finds tropical fish are colonising new habitats because of ocean warming(18:07) Khloe Kardashian reportedly claims she's seen UFOs and experienced paranormal activity

In this episode, I sit down with Amrit Tietz and Lauren Levinger, co-founders of Spread the Jelly, a bold platform reshaping how we talk about motherhood.Launched by Amrit—a DJ and creative entrepreneur—and Lauren—a veteran creative director and storyteller—Spread the Jelly was born out of frustration with sanitized parenting narratives.
They aim to peel back the layers: covering fertility, miscarriage, postpartum sex, identity shifts, IVF, abortion, navigating motherhood while holding onto selfhood—and everything in between.In this conversation, we explore:* How the name “Jelly” became their metaphor for adaptability, warmth, and messy transformation* The personal “I-wish-someone-had-told-me” moments that drove them to build a platform* How they balance creative careers, motherhood, and mission* Their editorial philosophy: radical honesty instead of extremes (doom or glow) * The challenges and breakthroughs of building community around deeply personal storiesWhether you're a parent, an aspiring founder, or someone fascinated by identity & storytelling, this is a raw, inside look at how two women are making space for all the sticky, beautiful truths of motherhood.PRODUCED BY DEAR MEDIASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
