The first episode sets the table for what we will be covering in regards to the book, Leaving Poverty On Purpose and For Good. We will also find ways to explore the things I didn't fit into the book.

I’d like to invite you to tune into my new podcast, Leaving Poverty

We will take themes from my book, Leaving Poverty on Purpose and for Good and turn them into dialog that will help us mobilize people out of poverty.

If you want to learn more about the pathways out of poverty, listen in for special guests and commentary that can help you help someone else.

The first episode will be out soon and I hope you can join me.
