Phew! I came across a story on the 'Humans Of New York' page on Instagram and I decided to find out who the founder of that awesome platform is. When I tell you discovering Brandon Stanton's journey and story encouraged me, you'll probably not understand fully. This podcast has over time become a safe place for me to share my deepest thoughts and sometimes, rant and I am so grateful for that. As you click the play button, for the next ten minutes or so, you'll be listening to my thoughts. I call this audio journaling so I hope you kinda enjoy it I guess?  If you have any thoughts on this bonus episode of my audio journaling, please drop me a voice message through any of these links: https://anchor.fm/viola-the-radio-nerd/message or www.podpage.com/calm-down-podcast. Your voice message will be featured in a subsequent episode of this podcast. I look forward to listening to it honestly!
