Backstory Behind Stephanie and Guest
After learning about We Are All A Little Crazy, I reached out to Eric Kussin to learn more. With Eric being on the east coast, he recommended Marc to represent their mental health alliance and the #samehere movement. Being on a call with Eric and Marc was a delight! I loved hearing how these two men spoke to each other with playful admiration. Marc’s personal story and willingness to share it to help people grow and recover from their own trauma, is an absolute gift! Keep an eye on both of these men; they are changing the heart of the world. – Stephanie Michele
