Kathy is another Digby famous friend who joined me to tell her story. Kathy didn't have an easy start in life, but she worked hard through school and university to become one of the most successful people I know. We talked about her growth from feeling shame at her circumstances as a kid to being proud of how that lead to her being who she is today.

We talked about the lessons that Kathy learned from a young age up to recently becoming a mother. At one point, she didn't even think that she would ever be a mother but it has been a blessing that has added another valuable perspective to who she is today.

I really enjoyed this conversation and am appreciative of Kathy's openness about her life.

Chris is a Dartmouth native who spent some time travelling the world and obtaining an arts degree before realizing that his passion for food was where he needed to go. He went back to school and is now the meal coordinator (Head Chef) at The North Grove, I came to know him while volunteering there for the community meal service.

Chris and I talked about his life up to The North Grove, his side passion/business of buying and selling records, and overcoming addictions to improve ourselves. We discussed the job he has and where the food comes from that he uses to prepare several hundred meals a week. We touched on some common themes for the pod including parenting and the importance of allowing a child to face and overcome challenges. We even touched on politics, in a polite and respectful manner.

Thank you for coming on and sharing your story and being so open with me, Chris. It's appreciated.

Micah is a former American football player who is originally from Florida. He came on to share his story from being a six year old kid who wanted to quit on his first day of football, to it becoming his passion and reason to push himself to be the best. We talked about his youth playing football, how that led into College and University programs, as well as playing professionally in European countries.

His story was not without trials and struggles, we talked about what it was like for Micah when he spent a few months living out of his truck. Parts of his story include moments where people helped him when he needed it, and his gratitude is apparent.

Finally, we talked about his transition from a player/coach into the founder of BATLX and what he and his colleagues are doing for the local youth football community. If you like football and good human stories, you might enjoy this conversation. We closed it down discussing the importance of being aware of your impact on other people and paying forward kindness wherever you can. Thank you for your time, Micah!
