The Mysterious Frenchman and All Stay Safe and Wash Your Hands

In episode 1 we talk to my dear friend Kevin Kuharic, executive director of Hotel de Paris Museum, about entrepreneur and hotelier Louis Dupuy and the things Kevin has discovered about Louis's interest in sanitary science and how he proceeded to implement his knowledge into practice at Hotel de Paris in the late 19th century. It's a timely discussion in which we compare notes with today's reality and practices in the face of the new world pandemic.

We also talk to 6-year-old Finley about his thoughts on the Coronavirus, how it has affected him and his family and his message of hope for everyone.
