Dork

Dork

Everyone is a DORK! No matter what you have accomplished, achieved, the level of celebrity, or the aura that others see you…….you have “dorky” traits. You can be (more-over have been) weird, strange, nerdy or awkward. This is the idea of this podcast! To give people the opportunity to hear that the celebrities, athletes, the people most of us think, "I would love to be that person - have their life - to be like them", that they are really just DORKS like all of us. Embracing and empowering our "Dorkdom", all in a fun-loving/stupid conversation about being a “DORK”!
