    • I was looking forward to this, but was disappointed
      that the “CLOSED CAPTION” option in the Settings was NOT AVAILABLE for this particular interview.

      I am hearing impaired, I wear hearing aids, but I have great difficulty with the words/phonetics, and unfortunately missed the main idea of the interview.

      The pictorial aspect of the video of Heidi’s creations were gorgeous, but unfortunately, without Closed Captions, I was not able to understand the process and concept of Heidi’s work. 🙁
      Hopefully this was a “one time” glitch.

  5. I loved this interview and it is so inspiring that anything is possible. I also love trying so many different materials and now feel great about that. No need to stick with one thing and master it. It was great to hear how the CVP program cracked her open and what she has taken from the program. “Is it a hell yes?” Make a big move if something isn’t working. Amy you did a great interview and Amy was a great match for you.
