12. Michael Strouse & All the Things... @strouseketeer On community, diversity, growing roots in rocky soil, and what it means to come home.

This is a series of IGLive episodes where I, Michaela Birdyshaw (@myjoycoach), share with you some of my favorite people! You will meet a diverse group of my friends, family, leaders, colleagues, motivators, and all the things! We will dive into how they use their gifts, their gems, their passions to influence the world around them! Our guest today is such a beautiful light. Please meet Michael Strouse & All the Things! He is a marketing master, a wellness coach and trainer, and the center of a dynamically beautiful family and community.  In our conversation we hit on diversity, growing roots in rocky soil, and what it means to come home. We also leave a lot of room for Round 2, so enjoy our chat, and we will have to do it again! His Takeaway:  Open the door. When you have the opportunity to see something on the other side - to understand others - to be clear there’s an opportunity to learn and grow, open the door. Stay curious.
