Michelle’s AirPods Pro-2: I

started my podcast just before

2

the pandemic for a lot of reasons.

3

The biggest trigger was my friend.

4

Cheryl had said, you

should start a podcast.

5

Until that moment.

6

I hadn't really thought about it.

7

I believe everyone has a story to tell.

8

So that's what I started doing.

9

Listening to people's stories.

10

Each episode naturally wove its

way to what a person was doing.

11

And it became clear.

12

That of those I interviewed no one

had a quick, easy path to what they

13

were doing with their lives now.

14

I was encouraged to focus

on that, circuitous.

15

path that ways that people

land on what they do.

16

I also believe everyone

does have a purpose.

17

So that's what season three is.

18

Non linear paths to finding your purpose.

19

I intended to air this three years ago.

20

And at the same time, I started

diving deeper into my other

21

work of community organizing.

22

And suddenly I didn't have the

time to edit all of those episodes.

23

They are all recorded.

24

They are all waiting in buddy.

25

Most our evergreen stories.

26

So we're just going to go

and get these stories out.

27

Season four was going

to focus on identity.

28

So think about that.

29

And if you or someone, you know,

has a unique perspective and

30

identity, to share, let's talk.

31

We'll officially kick off

season three, after a three

32

year hiatus on September 25th.

33

This episode was recorded with

the intent to prepare you for

34

the 2022 Chinese new year.

35

And it will be a look back.

36

With some amazing education.

37

So stay tuned for the line up for

this season, and maybe you'll get some

38

ideas to your own path to purpose.
