A mutual friend told me that I should connect with Jonathan last summer, and I ended up meeting him in Boulder, Colorado in August. We spent two hours together, during which I noticed how intentional he was in his speech. He told me about a designer from the 1800's whose name is not known but left an indelible impression on modern architecture. Jonathan is a lot like this designer. He doesn't care about his name being attached to anything, Jonathan only cares about how his work is going to change lives. He's constantly thinking about others and how he can help them. Jonathan is someone I want to emulate as I continue to grow because of his strong sense of values. Read the show notes here: https://bwmissions.com/one-away-podcast/

What I love about Seth is his boldness in taking on this difficult topic. He's really trying to have a conversation about the most divisive political issues of our time and approach it with thought and reason. His goal of getting business leaders to open up about their perspectives and share with their constituents is an admirable attempt to destigmatize this type of conversation. He makes people imagine their family members and kids as part of the conversation to remove the stigma/opposition and have a real conversation about how these topics affect their family. His book is thoroughly researched and draws from many different sources. While it's very academic in scope, American Schism is a great narrative of where we've been and how we can fix our nation.

Seth David Radwell is the author of the Amazon bestseller American Schism, a book that examines the United States' political divide and attempts to bridge it through the lens of enlightenment ideals. Distraught by his colleagues' reluctance to engage in political discussions and civil debate, Seth set out to examine how we got to where we are today and how the nation's founding principles can be used to save it. He holds a Master's degree in Public Policy from the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, which informed his research while writing American Schism. Before writing American Schism, Seth had established himself as an internationally known business executive and thought leader in consumer marketing. He previously served as President of e-Scholastic, the digital arm of the global children's publishing and education company, and as President of Bookspan/Bertelsmann, where he developed book clubs for diverse readership. He also served as CEO of The Proactiv Company, the leading skincare brand for acne; as President & Chief Revenue Officer of Guthy-Renker, the worldwide direct-to-consumer beauty company; and as Senior Vice President, Content for Prodigy Services Company.

Peter and I met when I was starting out in the sports marketing space. He went out of his way to help me, and was just so nice and helpful to me. He kept in touch with me, showed up, and was there when I needed him. The story Peter shared today on the podcast was an incredible look at his career. He has a great moral compass and so much humility. Peter shows up for the people around him and does the things that many people wouldn't do. We fell out of touch for a bit, but when we got back together for the show it was like no time had passed. His idea of content and community is true to who he is, and resonates deeply with me. No matter what Peter does in the world, he's going to succeed because he does right by others. Read the show notes here: https://bwmissions.com/one-away-podcast/

I met Mike in November 2020. I reached out to him because he commented on an article I shared on LinkedIn about education. The first time we talked, a half-hour call very naturally turned into a 90 minute conversation. We felt a connection right off the bat. He's very humble, present, and caring, the type of person who really cares about impact. I've been fortunate to work with Mike to help him share his message and help other people, and I've been so proud to see Mike build programming around his mission. I couldn't say better things about Mike personally and professionally. I can't wait to see the world unfold before him.

Louise is one of my favorite people. We met in the fall of 2015 while I was working on a storytelling platform called Wish Dish. A friend of mine introduced me to her, and I flew out to California to appear on her show. Afterward, Louise and I had some very deep conversations about life, family, and relationships. It's so clear how big her heart is, and I feel very fortunate that I was able to have her on The One Away Show this time around. Louise is such a special person, and I hope that the stories she shared about role models seeing her potential help you think about the people in your life who encourage you and how you can build those relationships.
