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.

Grace Knetter: “A Passion to Deliver Care”
Grace Knetter is the only undergraduate I’ve ever had in business class with the dream to become a registered midwife.

Suddenly, knowing there are women like Grace who are called and gifted to step into this centuries-old practice, became all the more dear.
