I’ve been speaking with Mr. Porter weekly for over 4 months while going through a significant life event. He’s been an invaluable resource for me throughout this time by helping me process the emotions involved, challenging me to think about things in different ways, and helping to keep me grounded in the midst of so much turmoil.
