Leslee Jackson Hall, a musician from Alabama, shares his captivating journey from the South to Nashville and the life-altering experiences along the way. Leslee delves into the concept of our 'inner animal,' discussing how understanding this aspect of ourselves can lead to greater peace, intentional living, and richer human connections. He also touches on overcoming heartbreak, thriving in a bustling city, and how his personal experiences and observations have shaped his insights on human behaviour. Please tune in for a profound discussion on navigating life's challenges and finding harmony between our human and animal instincts. From the southern United States, Leslee Hall is a former athlete turned pro musician. With a degree and background in corporate finance, he’s made his living and his way across the US musically, via various bars, clubs, restaurants and theatres. From the elevation of those stages, he’s been gifted an extended gaze into the human condition– the best and the worst of it.  In his darkest season of his own life, he found a trail to inner peace, to true freedom, and turned his curse into his blessing. Tracking Our Inner Animal is his attempt to share that blessing.
