I am recording a couple of podcasts this month, and this one just came out today! white background with light blue U: black text Kindness Chronicles live true. In the left bottom corner is a smaller version of the same logo with the text Bonafide. live true.Kevin Gorg and my friend Steve Brown host the Kindness Chronicles. I have known Steve since the mid-90s. He is the lead singer of a band in Minneapolis called Johnny Clueless. It was a very fun conversation, reminiscing about spending time with the band in Los Angeles while challenging Steve’s memory and math skills.

Until the next…
