I need more of this!

I just found out about the ‘How I Became’ podcast and now I am completely hooked! My first watch was the episode with Charithra Chandran of Alex Rider and Bridgerton fame and WOW, it was like listening to her autobiography in an afternoon. The program format that Ashley and Charles employ and the insightful questions they ask in such an informal manner allow a guest to tell their story in their own way. Genius! There were so many things that resonated with me in that two hour period - not only about Charithra, but gold nuggets of wisdom that I can apply to my own life. Isn’t that why we ready biographies in the first place? I need more of this!
