Perfection

Rainn Wilson is someone I have so much respect and admiration for. He’s funny and quirky but so real and isn’t afraid to discuss the hard topics and say what he’s feeling. He’s kind and compassionate and strives for understanding while being comfortable is holding his own beliefs. Listening to his conversations is like nothing else and I feel like I get so much out of them; emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.

The conversations I have been waiting for.

I love these conversations! I have said, “ Oh, it was you in the other room!” so many times while listening. A broader perspective is so important, especially in these times.
