I love sharing conversations and stories that inspire and encourage – conversations with people I personally know and whose work I admire, stories behind small businesses and brands I believe in, stories of true grit, entrepreneurship, and authentic faith, and learning from the impact-makers and creatives sharing beautiful work with the world.
This holiday season, I’m sharing gift ideas from some of the incredible guests I’ve had the privilege of chatting with on the podcast. I hope you’ll go check out each of these episodes if you haven’t already on The Tried and Truth Podcast, but first..go check some gifts off your list!
