Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Many readers are familiar with the personal story of Wes Moore and his widely-acclaimed memoir about growing up in Baltimore and becoming a combat veteran and Rhodes Scholar. But in his newest work, Moore seeks inspiration in the stories of others–from an Afghan translator he once worked with to one of the world’s most successful food entrepreneurs. Moore joins Kojo to explore how people find meaning in the work they do and lessons we can draw from them.
