Customer Reviews
Meals on Wheels
Jamie, thank you for the thoughtful and informative podcast about meals on wheels. I had no idea that senior isolation was an issue they are tackling in addition to hunger. It’s great to hear how creative, fresh and healthy the food is.
Very inspiring Podcast!
Wow, this was such a wonderful podcast about overcoming the many obstacles you face when you are missing a father figure from a young age. It was so inspiring to hear the voice from each of the different people you interviewed from the Vanishing Fathers book. I loved hearing their advise for future fathers and the loved the way you broke it into episodes and you could really hear and focus for each one. Also so generous that all proceeds will go to charity. Congrats on creating such a well done podcast that I am sure will help and inspire many!
Ep93- Author Keshia LaVett- Combating Ableism
It was such an honor and a delight to share my story as well as elevate my cause on the Truman Charities podcast. Ableism is a barricade that holds back so many ambitious individuals. This podcast has helped me raise a much needed awareness about this type of discrimination. This was my first interview since releasing the novel, and Jamie made me feel right at home. The conversations were meaningful and profound, yet lighthearted and fun!
I agree and support the Truman charities mission. Great people with beautiful hearts!
