Connecting with people is like a vitamin B injected advanced Google search, except better. Inspiration fuels the creative process, and there is little that inspires me more than interesting people who teach me something new. This podcast is about filling the tank and cranking that inspiration flywheel, proving that one person's story is often all you need to get things rolling. 

Join me for this people-inspired podcast where I talk to inspiring people about what or who inspires them. We will learn something new and feel good knowing it.

People ask what inspired me to write my debut novel, Back to Blue Holly, and the answer is easy. The book is place and PEOPLE-inspired. I relied heavily upon the compelling stories I collected traveling Kentucky with artist Kelly Brewer, painting and interviewing people from all walks of life for our Common Wealth of Kentucky Project (2022). Additional inspiration was the good folks I am lucky to know (or heard about) in the North Georgia region. And as I write my next book (about women in the Thoroughbred racing industry) and work on Kindred Spirits with Kelly (a new project about the connection between humans and animals), I'm back to being nosy Beth, poking around, asking lots of questions, and mining informational, inspirational gems I cannot find anywhere else than in the people I'm lucky to talk to.
