We chat about:
*how Iza is first and always a mom 
*she is a curious person who loves people and says "each person is a walking story"
*she views each person with curiosity and believes each person has something interesting and valuable to share
*Iza shares about being a Polish immigrant and she feels like she lives between two worlds AND she feels strongly rooted here in Colorado
*Individualism in contrast to community and care of the whole
*She wants to believe that people have good hearts AND there is still a lot of work to do
*Iza says the humanities are underestimated and how important literature is and how it's food for our soul
*She tells us not to be afraid to take risks and keep moving forward
*Iza believes everyone can teach us something
