Dunn On Purpose is where purposeful living meets practical leadership. Through interviews and solo episodes I explore how real people build strong lives, businesses, and communities then distill the takeaways into memorable language and frameworks through Power Acronym. If you want clarity, courage, and better words for what you already believe, you’re in the right place."Com" is the root word for 'together', or 'in common'. This podcast is founded upon the "Three C's" which stand for: Strong Communication + Strong Community = Strong Company. #StrongComThrough conversations with Local Leaders...

Face Tats & Voting Dance Cheek to Cheek 04.11.2018 10:20

This is a late upload from the first week of early voting. I thought about splitting it into two parts and had some other ideas but I think it's good enough to upload on it's own because it is an early exploration of an idea that has now become a poem. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you may have heard it, but I will upload audio of the poem soon. What do you think of the concept? Let me...
