Today's highlight is Tracy & Elisabeth's interview with Melisa Buie, co-author of the just-published Faceplant. We get the skinny on how someone with a PhD in Plasma Physics got drawn into the emotional landscape of failure, and all the great things that came out of it. For Book Buzz we’ll do a nosedive into Faceplant - hmm, might need to rethink that phrasing - but Tracy & Elisabeth give a more behind-the-scenes take on Melisa’s new book.
