About This Podcast
An author, a psychotherapist, and an entrepreneur walked into a bar. What came out is Dead Frog in the Driveway, a podcast that celebrates our potential as creative beings. No matter who you are. No matter what you might believe. No matter what you’ve been told. If you’ve ever wrestled with a blank page, a stuck idea, or a shifting sense of purpose, we hope you’ll find some inspiration from this podcast.
Our show is co-hosted by Joni B. Cole (www.jonibcole.com); Pat Williams, and Drew Rockwell, who still believes his Dead Frog in the Driveway story deserved a much better grade.
