  • Episode 2 brought me to tears!

    J.J.’s genuineness and expertise comes through in every moment of this 2nd episode. “Heroes’ power doesn’t come from knowing it all,

    it comes from choosing a way to move forward.” Redeeming our failures and flops, and using them to strengthen ourselves and others is a main theme of this episode. I cannot wait to hear more. Thank you J.J. for being you and sharing your wisdom and perspective with the rest of us!
