| Columnist Bonnie Jean Feldkamp Interviews Dr. Dan | |
Writer Bonnie Jean Feldkamp asks, “Do you know anyone who's doing cool things to make the world a better place? I want to know.” She interviewed Dr. Dan Peters for her new column for Creators Syndicate. “Shortly after the election, I decided to refocus my column,” said Bonnie Jean. “I want to carve out space dedicated to shining a light on the people doing good work to help make this world a better place. I'm holding space for good. It's what I'm calling my column going forward.”
“This week is the perfect time to formally announce this change,” Bonnie Jean continued, “Because the person I want to share with you is a kindred spirit in this way… Dr. Dan has also shifted focus for a new podcast called ‘Make it a Great One with Dr. Dan.’ After listening to the first episodes featuring people with incredible life stories, it was my turn to interview him. I wanted to know Dr. Dan's story.”
Bonnie Jean has been writing and publishing for more than 20 years. She is the former community engagement and opinion editor for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Louisville Courier Journal as well as the former media director for the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.
