The things we love the most give us the most trouble - A delightful conversation with author Neil Adams

The things we love the most give us the most trouble - A delightful conversation with author Neil Adams

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. A few weeks ago, I received an email from a publicist (long-time listeners may have noticed that I often start my intros with this sentence) asking if I’d like to interview author Neil Adams. Neil, the publicist wrote, had written his debut novel, From the Pile, A 9/11 First Responder Story, and would I be interested in interviewing him. Long-time listeners will also know my response: Absolutely, I would. So, here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

After you listen, let me know what you think of Neil. I can’t wait to have him back on. And not just because he’s one of the few guests who is older than me. His perspective on life and the best way to live it is exactly why I created this podcast. This crazy world needs more people like Neil, and I hope that his joy and zest for life inspire others to feel the same way he does.
