No. 032 — Scott Wood (un)COMMON PEOPLE
-
- Personliga dagböcker
One of the greatest blessings that I’m privy to in my work as a barista is the numerous connections to people that I’m able to build, sometimes with little effort. Cafés are interesting melting pots; you meet just about every sort of person there that you could imagine, and here in Northwest Arkansas there is no shortage of pots full of varied experience. Several of those who I’ve recorded the podcast with recently have been persons I’ve met simply as customers at the shop I work in, who I thought I could have a good conversation with. Sometimes I’m able to begin a relationship that will extend beyond our time shared in front of a microphone, and in this instance I truly hope that is the case.
I have had the opportunity to get to know some of Scott’s family before sitting down for this conversation, and have some mutual connections, so I wasn’t going into this recording blind, so to speak — meaning I had reason to suspect that Scott’s story was a significant one, and one I could stand to learn from and be inspired by. I was not wrong in that assumption. Scott has been through a great deal in his life, and not only did I stand to benefit from my time with him, but I was truly encouraged by his words and wisdom as well. A man of overcoming, faith, and determination, a man who has seen tremendous darkness, and held onto something that brought him through to the Light, Scott Wood has a story worth hearing, and a perspective I think we could all benefit from.
I truly hope you will listen to this conversation, and give yourself the time to meditate on what it contains. Keep an open mind, friend, and remember: this is only the beginning of the conversation.
