0:00.0 | Welcome to Impact the World, the show for and about creatives, change makers and entrepreneurs. |
0:09.0 | This is a conversation episode where a special guest shares with me what they are creating and the behind-the-scenes journey of their experience. |
0:31.6 | Hello, welcome to this special episode of Impact the World, which we are recording during the quarantine period. So my guest today is joining me via Zoom. |
0:34.6 | And my guest is Rebecca Schaper, who is an author, a philanthropist, and a filmmaker. |
0:41.6 | And Rebecca and I got connected a few years ago, and along the way, I learned that she had made |
0:47.6 | this film called A Sister's Call about her experience with her brother, a documentary. |
