Transformation Together: Leander & Stas

Conversations with people in our lives tend to shape what we think more than what we read, watch or even write about. That’s because, as social creatures, we need to learn from and with other people. This episode features a conversation with my friends, Leander Roth and Stas Schmiedt, who have worked on building wellness in their partnership in life and business for over a decade. Listen in as we discuss concepts and lived experiences of time, partnership, family and hope using decolonized understandings.
