TELL ME

A Podcast with Sam Stokes

This is the show where we meet friends and strangers alike to talk about their passions. The thing they could easily talk about for hours, in the hopes to share some of that passion and knowledge with you.


These guests might have PhD's, might not.

They might be famous, might not. 


Our wisdom keepers often come from the least suspecting people in our society.
