On today's episode, Bogie Foden joins Joanna on the show. Bogie grew up in a town where there were 160 people in his graduating class.  In his community, it was expected that after graduation everyone would go to a 4 year college and get a good degree. After touring the campus at the University of Colorado in Boulder, he decided that this was where he wanted to be. During freshman year he ended up getting suspended and ended up attending a community college where he learned much about life. He shares that his classmates were adults and parents of all ages that were working full time and some multiple jobs while attending college to get their degrees. This was definitely an eye opening experience for him that helped shape him into the person he is today as well as his career path in clinical social work, residential treatment and wilderness therapy.
