In Grounded in Greek, Brigette (Scobas) Morgan creates a space where identity is explored through the lens of heritage and personal history. This isn't a lecture on ancient ruins or mythology, but a living conversation about how a rich cultural backdrop shapes modern lives in tangible ways. Each episode features a guest who delves into the people, traditions, and pivotal moments that have fundamentally shaped their path. You'll hear from entrepreneurs discussing how Greek family dynamics influenced their business ventures, artists and writers reflecting on cultural narratives in their work, and individuals from all walks of life examining the intersection of personal journals and collective memory. The stories are specific, often touching on family, ambition, and the quiet moments of realization that ground a person. Brigette guides these conversations with a genuine curiosity, making the podcast accessible whether you have a direct connection to Greece or are simply fascinated by how culture and society inform our personal and professional selves. It’s about finding the universal threads in particular stories, listening for the shared meaning that emerges when people trace the roots of who they are.
