David Whyte - Beautiful Questions
This is one of my favorite conversations with David Whyte, renowned poet, philosopher, and speaker. It was one of my greatest on air learning moments as we dove into the transformative power of dialogue—from how vulnerability and authenticity can redefine our personal narratives to the role of creative thinking in sparking growth and connection. I had to get rid of my notes and hang on! Whether you’re seeking inspiration for personal transformation or looking to enrich your professional relationships, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical takeaways. And he is a wonderful story teller.
