To celebrate five years of Audacious, we reconnect with a few unforgettable guests.
Ari Cobb, now 13, reflects on how his relationship with stuttering has evolved since we first met him at age 8. Toby Dorr shares how the death of her former partner, whom she once broke out of prison, reshaped her purpose.
Jeffrey Marsh returns with powerful insights on self-acceptance. And we meet Hannah Joyner, wife of Dr. David Meyers, who joined us before his death from glioblastoma.
It’s a heartfelt look back at stories that changed us and the people who continue to inspire us.
