A Fresh Story, season 3, episode 4
We chatted with marketing expert and mom Megan Miller about the experience of her young son being diagnosed with cancer, and their journey together, as well as her background in entertainment, opera, and experiential marketing. We talked about how life and parenting is all about creating experiences for people, and what that means when life gets tough. It’s a beautiful episode about joy, hope, and the ways we can support each other during hard times in life.
