EP 216: [Interview] Giving real people a platform - Ken Stearns

Ken Stearns is a grandfather, father, midwestern boy, writer, speaker, photographer, and lyricist. He was an international insurance executive that quit to pursue his dreams of traveling the country meeting people, hearing their stories.  He hosts The Jar Live, a unique podcast that focuses on real people and real conversations. His American upbringing, living in 5 countries, working in 20 over the last 20 years gives him a wide ranging view on life, people, travel, business, food, culture. In our conversation we dive into the store of the Jar and how he got to record podcasts with strangers like Tom the Flower man. We talk about his book Dear God and explore how all of this will enable change in leadership in this world.
