Small Towns Big Stories is a podcast about finding purpose wherever you are. It is about turning your focus outward so you can see the beauty in both the small and big things around you. It’s about noticing the people around you and taking steps toward getting to know them better and learning their stories. Along our journey together, you and I will talk with people who live in my small town and maybe, eventually, people who live in other small towns around the world. The people I know here have big stories. Stories of going off to war, stories of fighting through depression and suicidal ideations, stories of photographing wildlife in the Galapagos Islands, stories of building wells in third-world countries . . . stories of lives that are more than just one thing.
