Jan Fisher, Author and Speaker

Host Hollie Grimaldi Flores brings us an inside look at the life story of Jan Fishler. After graduation from Ohio University, she loaded her belongings into her VW Super Beetle and headed for San Diego. One of only a few women in the video production industry meant time  in San Francisco and Oakland, marriage, children and an eventual move to Nevada County and work with Grass Valley Group. A self-published memoir acted as a healing journey in her experience as an adoptee who sought information about her birth parents. Volunteer activities included lots of support for veterans, and a walk with her neighbor launched a collaborative effort to write “Don’t Stop Now: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life.” She finds great pleasure in working with others teaching writing and hosting “drop in and write” sessions on Zoom. Her wish for our community is for people to stop shouting at each other and to learn how to listen and experience civil dialog. Her work is all summarized on her website, janfishler.com.
