Episode Description
In this week’s episode, I am delighted to welcome Payton Lynch to the show. Payton is a storyteller at heart, and as a product manager at The Walt Disney Company, she tells stories through the magic of guest engagement. Payton has been crafting stories for as long as she can remember. Today on the podcast, Payton will share the very personal story that inspired her to research and tell the stories of 9/11 surviving children. She is the author of the upcoming book, Rise from the Ashes, and we get a glimpse into what is to come. The presale campaign of the book starts on April 2nd. The goal is to donate a portion of proceeds to Tuesday’s Children, which supports individuals impacted by terrorism, military conflict, or mass violence. Enjoy the episode, and a special thank you to my listeners for joining me on this journey. Stay tuned and keep listening.
