Podcast: “Fear of a Flat Planet” w/ John Leslie presented by Toyota
March 30, 2021
“I had such a supportive community, friend group, and family. It really wasn’t just me, I’m a product of my surroundings and I hit the jackpot. It’s one of those opportunities [to choose your outlook] on the world. If I had the attitude of “this sucks, woe is me” that’s what I received, but If I was positive and tried new things, that’s what I got.” – John Leslie
