The Lived Experience - your showhost

I couldn’t help but notice that you have already started to react most to the story telling element of this Podcast based of course, on the episodes listened to, downloaded and shared most to date. Thank you for that. Now, truth be told, I am not a professional story teller. Your feedback, according to my expectations at least - shouldn’t really be based on interest in my standard bla-bla about myself, I was expecting more questions about your learning experience…. Life is however full of paradoxes, and since this whole initiative is still intended to focus on learning experience, for what it’s, worth I’ll run with that – albeit unexpected interest based on the feedback I’ve received from you.
