Guest: Andrew Forsthoefel is a writer, radio producer, public speaker, and author of Walking to Listen: 4,000 Miles Across America, One Story at a Time
Story: At 23, Andrew walked out the back door of his home in Pennsylvania, with a backpack and a sign that read “Walking to Listen.” Some 4,000 miles and countless conversations later, he found himself on the West Coast. More important, he found so many stories of grace and struggle, beauty and humanity.
Big idea(s): When you see everyone as your equal and your teacher, the world becomes an astonishing place.
You’d never guess: How a simple act of kindness from a random trucker left him weeping along the highway.
Current passion project: Facilitating workshops on walking and listening as practices in personal transformation, interconnection, and conflict resolution.
