Hope Still Wins with Ben Higgins

Ep. 7 Terence Lester: Distributing Dignity & Fighting Systemic Poverty


Listen Later

“Home is so much more than four walls and a roof. Home is a place you feel seen, accepted, and like you belong.” - Terence Lester

Terence is a speaker, author, activist, and thought leader in the realm of systemic poverty, and he’s interested in a world where everyone - everyone - is treated with dignity.

In this conversation, Ben and Terence talk about interconnectedness and community, the true meaning and feeling of the word “home,” and the power of being seen. Plus, he introduces the idea of being an “accumulator” versus a “distributor,” and why inhabiting the role of distributor is ultimately more fulfilling for oneself and the world.
