One of the fantastic things about doing a show like this is that you get to talk to some great storytellers ... people who've led amazing lives, whether they're famous or not.
Today we had two of them on, both named Clarence.
Clarence Garrett dropped out of college to take care of his family. Nearly 50 years later he went back to college ... and graduated at the age of 87.
And Clarence B. Jones got a personal visit from Martin Luther King, Jr. in the early Sixties. Rev. King asked Clarence — a successful Los Angeles lawyer — to help with the movement. Clarence said ... no. But Rev. King won him over with a bit of rhetorical persuasion. Check out how Jones went on to become one of King's closest advisors ... and enjoy both of these men's stories.
