ENDORSEMENTS

“As someone who had never been a guest on a podcast before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I agreed to come on to First Paso with a few others to reflect on the domestic terrorist attack on the capitol. However, having known Candace for many years, I shouldn’t have been surprised at the streamlined process, her successful efforts to make everyone feel comfortable, and her inclusive curiosity which naturally expanded the conversation at every turn.  I left the experience feeling heard, contained, and I even made a few new connections!”
