Author/Professor Leanne W. Smith sits down with key individuals to mine the magic of their vocational stories.

Rob Touchstone: “Turning Coffee into Water”
What happens when your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger—or in this case, thirst—meet? Rob Touchstone has spent the last decade living into this question—co-founding The Well Coffeehouses, launching a Business as Mission program, and now directing Lipscomb University's Center for Vocational Discovery. In this conversation, Rob shares why vocational discovery is a journey not a destination, and what it looks like to build a career that feeds both your soul and your community. If you're wondering how to align your passions with purpose, this episode is for you.
