Keeping with the same format that I used to write my book (The Book of Osten), I sit down with the most interesting people I know. By letting them tell their story, I give my listeners a look at how a person's precisely fallen life events lead them to where they are today. Truth is stranger than fiction and everyone has a story to tell. All you have to do is listen. I love getting to know people and strengthening relationships by hearing another person's side of the story. Follow me as I show the world through many sets of eyes.
