The Bloom Pod uses the power of storytelling to share the insights of people who are chasing big ideas and doing their damndest to turn those ideas into a reality. Using thoughtful, semi-guided interviews, Tayler Onion interviews people in higher education, entrepreneurship, and athletics. Guests are asked to share their stories and reveal the experiences that helped them bloom into the people they are today. Each interview is followed by a recap, featuring podcast sidekick Melissa Lutz, where main points from the guest — and other shenanigans — are discussed.
