The result is Jeffrey Deskovic, and I am amazed at the grace and light that is he. A few months ago I “read the amazing true story”:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/25/us/25jeffrey.html?_r=2&sq=jeffrey%20deskovic&st=nyt&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&scp=2&adxnnlx=1209366112-9hTL+V0mi8vxyMecOtU3Ew of “Jeffrey Deskovic”:http://www.jeffreydeskovicspeaks.org. He is still a young man who has been through some amazing trials already, and yet has come through them with grace and strength. I invited him to the “Podcamp NYC”:http://www.podcampnyc.org conference to meet other new media creators for interviews, and to learn how to use this technology to further his own message. Our episode barely scratched the surface – I hope you will check out these other links.
