We’re all good people, I think. But sometimes we can be guilty of writing off someone due to their lifestyle, their background, or their appearances. When someone suggested I interview this week's guest, I immediately had reservations. However, after meeting and talking to him, I realized I had it all wrong. It’s easy to write someone off, judge a book by a cover. What takes work is getting past that, opening your mind and giving people chances. In this episode of The Wonder of Ivy podcast, I sit down with Daniel Guerrero: youth minister, photography, videography, and more. We talk about EVERYTHING. So much so, that this is only part one!
