Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Randy Pausch died this weekend, some nine months after he leapt to fame worldwide for a lecture he gave on ‘Really Acheiving Your Childhood Dreams.’ A viral video of his lecture became an Internet sensation and led to a book deal, appearances on Oprah and more. We speak with two friends about Randy’s life, and the lessons we can all learn from how he dealt with his cancer diagnosis.
