JILL SORNSON KURTZ has been a friend of mine for 21 years and someone whom I admire very much. Jill has a beautiful family and finds tremendous success in her career, but that is not what is most impressive – it’s how she finds balance in everything she does. I have seen Jill reinvent and recalibrate and rebrand herself over and over again. Each time a better, more informed, more focused, more driven version of herself. In addition to her amazing commitment to self-development she is a deeply caring person. She has been shaped by her missions work in the mountains of India and study in a seminary in Los Angeles, and now is a firm leader and national advocate for the environment studying how Architecture can be both high performing and resilient.

Jill and I went to the same undergrad at Kansas State where we developed an enduring friendship based on faith, belief, and the importance of deep conversation. Some of my most formative moments have come from her well of wisdom and insight. Her husband Preston is a brilliant engineer, strategist, and business leader. They have two lovely children who will most likely also be incredible people.

Jill is a wonderful writer, a deep thinker.

Someone who has endless courage and belief.

She impresses by how she expresses.

With empathy and leadership, generosity, and love.

She is someone that you meet and never forget.

I am so grateful to share life with her and her family. We live far apart now, but this podcast is an opportunity for her to share her lesson and wisdom with you.

Here is JILL SORNSON KURTZ and her lesson “Intention requires rigor”
