Hidden Gems Podcast

Marcus Johnson-Luther

Minnesota has so much untapped talent, that no one really ever takes the time to illuminate. Wanting that to change, I decided to make a platform that can do just that. Everyone of us has a story that's worth sharing, because you never know who has a similar story or is inspired by yours. On the Hidden Gems Podcast, I'll be talking with people from all over the state about their passions, and life stories. In a world with so much going on we rarely have the time to truly get to know someone. In these episodes I hope you find a story that resonates with you. Hosted by Marcus Johnson-Luther.
