Personal and professional mentors. With gripe water and a Winnebago. (Ep.20)

There are more than a few interjections of cute kiddo voices this episode, friends - including a baby voice flashback. Brace yourself for cuteness! In Episode 20, Kori, Laura, and Keith reflect on pivotal mentors in their lives - from academic influences to professionals who championed them to friends who’ve helped them through tough stages. You’ll meet Kori’s grandma (yes the fat phobic one); former teachers Ms. Fisher and Miss Milleris, and Mr. Williams; Professor Hirsch and Father Kemp, colleagues Elaine Mulligan, Vanessa Coleman, and Beverly Brooks; auntie sister cousin Pam; and mama/friend mentors Jaunelle, Lanaya, her sister, Christian, Tyranny, Camila, Randy. Laura introduces you to Dr. Schleef, Dr. Linda Underwood, Dr. Jonas, and Dr. Allan, and Keith tells the story of how Jimmy Rose and Tim Burke changed his life and his path in dramatic fashion. Beyond mentorship, you’ll hear us mention how Kori’s son uses chapstick, Laura’s husband’s teary takeaway from Episode 19, and a shoutout to the Buddy Hollies trivia team in St. Petersburg, Florida for last week’s win. Laura and Kori are tempted to snowbird at Keith’s place when he describes the plethora of dog friendly bars with mini golf courses in his city. We’ll close out the episode with more kid cuteness - and a new acronym: DAFBFF! What can we say - IYKYK, and if you don’t know, listen and find out.
