Ladies and gentlemen, today we are privileged to host a truly fascinating individual, Richard Hagen. Richard's journey through the realms of transformation, empowerment, and flourishing began within the Catholic Church, where he served as an ordained priest working across the UK, South Africa, and New York State. In this sacred space, he delved into the publishing world, honing his skills in writing, editorial work, and even crisis management for the largest Catholic publishing house in the UK.

However, Richard's mission to catalyze positive change didn't end within the church. Stepping away from the ecclesiastical bubble, he carried forth his commitment to transformation. Now, as the founder of his own publishing company, Richard employs his diverse skills – preacher, counsellor, author, coach, project manager, and teacher – to navigate the landscape of publishing. With a background in primary education, Richard brings a unique blend of skills and a fervent passion for authenticity, steering clear of the superficial promises that often accompany the world of publishing. Join us as we delve into Richard's rich tapestry of experiences, exploring the intersections of faith, education, and the transformative power of literature. Welcome, Richard Hagen, to our podcast!
