What's the value?

Terry McMullen ( From Independent Podcaster)

Every episode is a one on one conversation with a guest, where I ask them one simple question to start– “what’s the value?” By that I mean what is the value that matters most to you, that guides your purpose in life, that makes you who you are? That is where things get interesting. We spend the rest of the show exploring, dissecting, pressure testing, and ultimately trying to better understand that value and the guest’s underlying philosophy on life. It is raw, authentic, and thought provoking; and hopefully by the end we’ll learn something that makes us better people.
