Working Knowledge

Working Knowledge

“Working Knowledge” is a set of questions and answers…...a quick interview show amongst friends (who just happen to be solo entrepreneurs/creatives/makers/artists/chefs and visionaries). I love people’s stories, especially those that formed the way they work, what they do, or what they love. I want to spend a little time asking my brilliant friends some pretty simple questions and I know that they will have something to say that we all might like or need to hear, so I am sharing these conversations with you. 

You can find all of my interviews on my IGTV channel Working Knowledge

As as part of the interview process I ask each guest to share one song to add to our Working Knowledge playlist. Music is so important to me and I am loving getting the opportunity to learn about and listen to new music and some old favorites. Click below for a link to the playlist on Spotify.
