You Are Admirable is an interview project of Steven Harris-Weiel to learn to cultivate in himself, the qualities he admires in others. “My goal is to learn how the people I admire in my life came to be so admirable, and then find out how the people they admire in their lives got to be that way as well.” You can see video versions of Steven’s interviews on his website or YouTube channel.
