Summary

Mike takes a deep dive into the nature of authenticity, with a little help from Sean McCourt – a former Broadway actor who works today as a producer on After the Catch and contributor to The Way I Heard It, and God only knows what else. Sean also happens to be the father of Charlotte, the eleven-year-old Girl Scout made famous by her blisteringly honest critique of the cookies she was trying to sell to her Daddy's wealthy friend five years ago. A critique that unleashed a media blitz for which Mike accepts most of the blame. It's a rumination on the power of action, and inaction, and the squishy middle in between.
