I want to find out what drives people, what some of their insecurities are, why people do what they do and what they want to bring to the world. Big or small. I want to bridge the gap between being and becoming, to promote authenticity and vulnerability as strengths and to provide a platform where people can relate, have break throughs, learn to understand different perspectives or to just listen to conversations that they might want to have but rarely do.
