Nelson was my academic advisor at OSU & I enjoyed speaking with him so much that I'd go to his office even when I didn't need anything.
He's truly a wonderful person that's put considerable time into developing quality thoughts & ideas that help others lead better lives.
We talked about philosophy in a lighthearted way, how we got where we are today, and he told a great story near the end :)

28: Chris Petersen // Archiving History
Friday Sep 27, 2019
Friday Sep 27, 2019
I worked for Chris Petersen at the Special Collections and Archives Research Center at Oregon State University Libraries when I was getting my undergrad degree.
The project I made with him was an oral history interviewing project, so he inadvertently played a large role in the reason I started up this show! I hadn't recorded a conversation or listened to a podcast prior to that project so he put this idea on my map :)
We spoke about his work, the goals of archiving oral history, and how life leads one to where they end up.

I'm curious about the best parts of all the major faiths, so in this show I learn about the benefits that Christianity brings to the lives of its followers. I'll be doing a similar show with all major faiths in the future. They've all got some beautiful aspects and I want to know what they are.
If you're curious about Christianity, beliefs, & faith, this episode is a digestible way to learn about it.
