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. Earl Lavender: “To be Fully Trained”
Earl Lavender first came on my radar in 1985 when he ran 100 miles in a day as a fundraiser for Lipscomb Athletics. Earl has had wide influence not only in my own life, but in the lives of countless others, in the U.S. and abroad, in both biblical and athletic arenas. And he makes his big waves with humility, giving the credit to and seeking to emulate the Ultimate Teacher.
