Keyhole Conversations
Keyhole Conversations is a podcast project intended to explore the thoughts, philosophies, and lives of all the people I find interesting. We dive deep into all forms of subject matter depending on who the person is and what they have to offer. From stories of peoples past, current struggles, or what they do to enjoy life, we cover it all! Many podcasting experts advise to go after a niche market to grow but we find that approach to be too constraining. So come along as we peer into the keyhole which leads to peoples minds and opens up conversation.
