I Know That Mask

I Know That Mask

Hey, Neil here! I want to introduce you to Sarah Geringer. Sarah is someone who can provide a new perspective and encourages listeners to put themselves in Other People's Shoes. The conversation starts with me discussing a TV show called "The Mentalist" and its main character, Patrick Jane, who is a know-it-all. This leads to a discussion about Missouri and its pronunciation. Sarah corrects me and explains that both pronunciations, Missouri, are acceptable. Then transition to discussing the podcast and Sarah's experience as a guest on over 70 episodes. I ask Sarah about her favorite style of shoe, and she mentions wearing comfortable Brooks tennis shoes. Sarah then relates the topic of masks to her own experience as a know-it-all, attributing it to being a gifted student and not being challenged until college. She wrote a blog post about wearing the know-it-all mask. Join me as I try on Sarah's Brooks shoes.
