  • Summary

  • Join host Laura Dickinson-Turner and an ever-expanding lineup of guests for an ongoing series of conversations that stem from the possibly unanswerable question: “how do you define talent?” This podcast is a place to collect the stories we tell ourselves about talent, so we can explore the intersections and overlaps in people’s perspectives, as well as where and how they differ, and how those perspectives shape the way we view ourselves, each other, and the world(s) we constantly create together.
