She's one of my favorite gal-pals, and a true force of nature for all things good in the world. After leaving the "If it bleeds, it leads" media world (with a few awards in hand), Jen Weigel decided to turn her talents to creating content that lifts people up, not pushes them down. As always, it's a rousing conversation about the human condition and how each of us can make a difference in our own lives, which is where all real change starts. With the Olympics taking center stage, I was moved to include a song by John Denver that he wrote for the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo called "The Gold and Beyond." This particular version was recorded in the former Soviet Union, by Roger "The Immortal" Nichols in 1985.
