Gladness & Hunger with Leanne W. Smith
Author/Professor Leanne W. Smith sits down with key individuals to mine the magic of their vocational stories. Inspired by Frederick Buechner who said the key to a career satisfying to both soul and pocketbook was to find “where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet," this podcast is geared to writers, students, story lovers, and anyone seeking inspiration for their own vocational journey.
As a fiction writer and business professor at Lipscomb University with a heart to teach students how to build sustainable careers that actually feed their soul, Smith's deep gladness is in sharing messages of hope and inspiration like these.

Kendra Gensemer: “Lessons in Rebuilding”
A few years ago, a woman in Missouri offered her home for a house show. She didn’t even know the band she was inviting in, but she did know some ardent fans who wanted them to play in Kansas City, so she graciously offered her home as both stage and lodge.
It was the start of a beautiful friendship that spread from the band to my daughter to me. Long before I met her, I knew Kendra shone with a special light. It was my honor to interview her as my first guest, a fellow writer working on her first book, on her recent trip to Nashville.
