Two Brilliant Creatives

I am so glad Glennon did this interview solo. It was honoring, intimate and inspiring. American Symphony was one of the most surprising documentaries I have ever seen. The shared love language of creativity is infused in everything they do individually and as a couple. As usual, Glennon's questions were thoughtful and very respectful. Wonderful episode!!
