    S4E20 | Hoping You Find Hope (feat. Ted and Caleb)

    In today’s conversation, we spoke about how, after three full years of production, we succeeded in our goal to bring a bit more hope into the world. By talking to others about what makes them passionate and how they use it to change the world around them, we’ve found many reasons to feel optimistic and we hope the same for you. With the support of our family, friends, patrons, listeners, and seventy three guests, we’ve created something that we’re truly proud of. If there’s anything to take away from our podcast, it’s that change is the only constant, and you can use your passion to make change positive. Thank you for joining us on this journey of active hope. Hopefully, you find some hope today.

Minor change - listening to this podcast. Result - hope.

I love listening to this podcast! Ted and Caleb have curated a space that welcomes people from different backgrounds to share their journey, the things that they are passionate about, and what gives them hope. The conversations range from spirituality/faith, to movies and music, science and art, and everything in between. This podcast has made me think more actively about where I find hope and seeing things from different perspectives. I highly recommend listening if you’re feeling a little lost in this crazy world we live in or just in general.
