Hello, hello, hello. You are listening to Under the Influence, and I'm your host, Joe Piazza.

Thanks for being here with me today, guys. It just started snowing outside my window. And part of me

My guest today is a dear friend of mine, Dr. Kimberly McGlawn.

I find Kimberly so inspiring in so many different ways.

We work in the same workspace, and when I run into her, she is just a ray of sunshine and hope.

And she truly makes me believe that the world can be a better place. She recently wrote a book

called Build It Boldly. And you'll hear me tell her in this episode that the book is really just a

blueprint for how to be a good person in a world that is real messed up. And I think we can all use
