In this conversation, Patricia Madson, a drama professor emeritus and author, shares her journey from a curious and adventurous child to a seasoned educator in improvisation.
She discusses the importance of embracing mistakes, the transformative power of improvisation in personal and professional life, and the significance of finding
purpose and gratitude in everyday experiences. Patricia also introduces Eastern philosophies that emphasize self-reflection and proactive living, encouraging listeners to appreciate
the interconnectedness of their lives and the people who have influenced them.
