The maiden voyage — meet your host and the story behind Project Candor
If I’m going to ask my guests to show up honestly and play along, then I need to do the same.— Jeanne Andersen
Episode Summary
In this episode of Project Candor, host Jeanne Andersen introduces herself and shares her own story as the very first episode sets the tone for the series.
