The Known Experience
The Known Experience is a conversation that explores the powerful journey of those living out what it means to know themselves, be known and know others. Our guests are from all walks of life; athletes, doctors, entrepreneurs and average joes. But they all have one thing in common... they live and work intentionally, with purpose and meaning. These conversations are often nuanced and complex, just like our lives. Our desire is that you are encouraged and challenged toward authenticity and connectedness.
