Hey, a little bit of a different broadcast for you guys.

I know you're used to seeing some exciting interview here for meaningful people.

stories, many stories even from guests I've had on this podcast. So by Wawao Jacobson,

So I said to all my father and I discussed with him what it was like losing his father.

It was 33 years ago.

What that day was like,

the moments leading up to it, the final conversation you had with him. And it was quite eye-opening.
