  • "Don't Be Afraid to Start at the Bottom!"

    In this third episode of the Free and Virtuous People series, Kevin presents the story of Lisa, a banking executive who overcame a difficult childhood background. Previously published in digital print at the Freedom and Virtue Review.

    The Free and Virtuous People series tells the stories of “ordinary” people who have flourished and contributed to their communities through the practice of everyday virtues such as courage, perseverance, compassion, thoughtfulness, and generosity. In the face of diverse and sometimes challenging environments or circumstances, they have demonstrated true freedom—the capacity to choose the good and strive toward the end for which they were created.
