Description

Jonathan Rivera has dedicated his life to having conversations with people who most likely don't agree with him. I make him admit he is a faux airline attendant before we get into the bigger topics. : )He is a world traveler and speaks several languages. He uses this talent to approach leaders and commoners alike. It doesn't always work out, as we find out in this episode. Jonathan's goal is to use extreme listening to learn. Just to listen and learn. What new ideas might we be gifted from being curious and listening with intent?Jonathan says; "I plan to change the world....one conversation at a time."I'm so honored that I got my one conversation with him.

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
