8. The Impact You Have Is up to You with John C. Dudley

The journey of life can bring us to many unexpected places and often has a surprising impact on the people around us, whether we know it or not. In this week's episode of Being All of Us, I speak with my friend John C. Dudley about his journey from Newport News to Lesotho, the impact he has had in different places and on different people throughout his life, and how it brought him closer to home. John is a fun person to talk to, and I think his reflections about the good or bad impacts we have on the people around us takes us to some deep and interesting places. I think you'll have fun listening to our conversation. The journey to being all of us begins with you.

For me, this podcast is a journey of self-discovery and inclusion. My mission is to inspire you to become an agent of change in your own life, so that together we can create a world that includes and celebrates each of us for who we are, for who we were born to be, so we can remember what we learned to forget: what it's like "being all of us".
