Loving New York with Christian Noojin

Every night as I close the shades to my bedroom window, I look towards the New York skyline and say, "Goodnight, New York. I love you." It started out as a funny bit, and then a nightly gratitude ritual. But now, "Goodnight, New York, I Love You" is a new podcast about places we love.So this podcast isn't really about New York. It's about any place we love and why we love it. Because just like finding a soulmate, our relationship with places can feel just as powerful. In each new episode, my guest and I will explore what drives that connection with places, but we'll also explore the relationship between love, places, and connection with community.In today's episode, I'm joined by my dear friend, Christian Noojin. He is a creator, luxury experience consultant, and GIA graduate Gemologist. We're digging into a place we both love: New York City. Christian and I explore how living in New York as young adults helped transform us into the people we are today. We also discuss building community in a big city like New York. Christian also tells us about starting over when he moved from New York to Charlotte, North Carolina, and what it taught him about himself.
