    The art of writing is much more than crafting sentences or perfecting grammar. It’s a bridge connecting your inner world to the outside, bearing stories untold and messages unsaid. In this episode of the Authors Who Lead, I share a heartfelt reflection on how writing is intertwined with living fully, urging aspiring authors to delve deeper than the superficial act of writing to uncover a more profound personal revelation.

pleasant and interesting duo

Azul Terronez is a man to admire and learn from. He has a pleasant voice and excellent style. He interviews his guests in a way that allows them to speak while having interesting dialogue that stays on topic. I'll be looking for more by him and this guest. and I'll recommend him to others interested in writing or in the topics he covers in his podcasts.
