A gift. A person. A kind word. All have the power to encourage and change someone’s life. If anyone can attest to that, it’s James Brown. I first interviewed him about a year ago as his new digital platform, EncourageX, was just launching. I don’t have to tell you how much our world has changed since then. But what hasn’t changed is the need for what James has built, and his vision of a world where encouragement is at our core. In fact, we need it now more than ever.

As we cope with our new reality born of the COVID-19 pandemic, it seemed like an ideal time to revisit this feel-good endeavor — one that speaks to my soul and the mission of this podcast. Enjoy the conversation and an exciting announcement that follows!
