Welcome to the Art of Accomplishment, where we explore how deepening connection with ourselves and

others leads to creating the life we want with enjoyment and ease.

Welcome back, everybody. The holiday season is in full swing, and it's likely that many of you

are gathering with family this week.

So today's episode is a family episode.

And joining us is Joe's daughter, Esme.

Esme was given a school assignment to make a podcast about where she came from by interviewing a person from her family about a meaningful experience in their life.

Esme decided to deviate from that task and follow her interest.

She wanted to know what it was like for her dad to raise her. When her assignment was complete,

Joe asked her if it was all right to make it available to the community and to our listeners.

So, Asmay agreed, and what follows is the touching interview between Esme and her dad, Joe.

I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you. interview between Esme and her dad, Joe. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for coming on to the podcast, Dad. I really appreciate it. Of course. I love,

I love spending time with you in any way that I can. Appreciate it.

Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I think we should tell everybody what's your day.

What's the day today?

It's my birthday.

It's your birthday.

Congratulations.

And he took me out to breakfast.
