Prior to the interview itself, we enjoyed  a fantastic and delicious lunch from a local restaurant called The Green Olive. After our introductions, Carrie and Mia asked me the following questions: Is there a difference between being comfortable and being understood? After doing hundreds of episodes, do you feel more known or do you feel like people know only certain parts of you really well? Do you feel that having the podcast has created a persona for you or do you feel like you show up with your true self? What is something people understand about you now that you wish they had understood when you were younger? Do you favorite movies and music feel like entertainment or do they feel more like places you can return to? If money, time, or being on standby for the parents weren't issues; if you could do anything or go anywhere; what would your dream(s) be?  If you could get on or have a private plane with your own private pilot, where in the world would you go?
