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.

Dr. Norma Burgess: “Born to be a Trailblazer”
How often have you personally vowed to seize the day? My long-time mentor, Dr. Norma Burgess, has shown me the value of living this out repeatedly—and the story of how this episode happened is proof of her own teaching. She moved to Costa Rica, but when she came sharply to my mind one recent Tuesday, I texted her. Just so happened she was in Nashville...only for the day, with one open hour. In this conversation, Norma shares why saying yes matters. If you've been waiting for the "right time" to pursue something, this conversation will challenge you.
