This is a tribute to my Father who was and still is my hero.
As you will hear in this Podcast we lost him to Cancer two years ago. It took me a year to even speak about his passing out loud. I've chosen this as a way to honor and remember him. My Father used to tell so many incredible stories about his Father (My Grandfather) - and now it makes every bit of sense to me that I use my gift to pay tribute to a man who taught me so much and loved us even more.
Thank You for the lessons, Tata. Thank You for the love!
