Wyn Alexander, who used to print some of our books at Pinnacle back in the day, recently looked me up on Facebook and asked me if I’d be willing to take part in a video interview via YouTube. The topics ranged all over the place, but I think it made for a stimulating conversation. If you can bear with me …
