Conversation with Neerad

We are beginning a series of interviews with Laddership Circle Alum. In these interviews Nicole takes a deeper dive into the experiences and wisdom of the ladders and holds a space for us to continue to weave the fabric of this incredible community of wisdom, insight and story. In this first interview with Neerad, he shares his moving story of a recovery from cancer. Watching and listening was a joy for me, a reminder of the ocean of wisdom in this circle of noble friends - grateful for the reminder from Neerad that we are all walking each other home. [more]
