My guest this week is Chris Paterson, a friend and a former colleague. For years, I had the privilege to work with Chris in communities across Newfoundland and Labrador. We facilitated conversations about community futures, climate change, regional development and everything in between. Chris has done that kind of work across the United States as well. Today Chris lives with his wife and daughter in Grates Cove, a small community on the edge of the Avalon Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland. Our conversation focused on community, family and what comes next once you reach certain age.

I believe that these are important conversations, so there are no ads because you don’t need another mattress commercial interrupting the story and there are no paid perks. If you find yourself listening to the podcast and feel like you can afford to support it, you can Buy Me a Coffee. And if you like the show, please share it with your friends and family.

NOTE: This episode is late. It was a week of a Charlie Brown future as Chris would call it. It’s all good now and I am posting this episode from Groningen in The Netherlands before I head south to Austria and Croatia. My apologies. We will be back to our biweekly schedule!
