We talk a lot. About common ground, hobbies, interests, the news – we even talk about ourselves. Let’s Talk About the other things. The things we’ve heard about, but don’t know about. The things we want to know, but don’t want to ask. Perhaps even things that make us uncomfortable. Expanding your horizons of knowledge allows you to open your mind up to new ideas, patterns of thought, and inspiration. Each week on Let’s Talk About…, host Elise Gasbarrino chats with an expert to help you grow and become comfortable with asking questions about your curiosities.

“A lot of people have a role that they want to fill, I do it the opposite.
