Where have you been my whole life?

Jefferson - I love your no-nonsense approach to communicating. I mean it when I ask where you have been all my life … I’m in my 50s now, but would have really benefitted from a little Jefferson on my shoulder growing up; to tell me that I didn’t have to be a people-pleaser, to stand up for myself and to inject my life with some emotional maturity. Even though this may sound like an oxy-moron, but … you are a lawyer, and I can feel your honesty and sincerity coming through your videos and podcasts. Heck, I may even sign up for a newsletter! Just keep being you … and I’ll keep listening.
