Charles humbly reflects on his recent interview with Oprah which airs 16 July on SuperSoul Sunday....

Nor do I now, save for the help I receive from others who hold the field, the people who humble me every day with their generosity, sincerity, and selflessness. To the extent I am effective at what I do, it is because of you. "If I am right that my Oprah appearance is a marker … Continue reading
