This is the beginning of a first time collaboration between father and daughter duo, Mark and Katherine Redlus. Simply put, this podcast is about their curiosity and hunger to find a way to walk through daily life with more meaning, purpose, calm and joy. They enjoy diving in regularly on topics ranging from cutting through the noise of self-development and "hustle culture" to spirituality, work and creativity. They hope this podcast will encourage and inspire others to have more reflective conversations with their friends, family and colleagues.
