Between Views

By: Alec Kosky
  • Summary

  • Between Views is a podcast where we discover wisdom through conversation with inspired, motivated and dedicated people. The idea is to shine light on inspired and passionate people and share their stories and ideas with others who are willing to listen and connect them with the world. It is also a space where I get to explore my curiosities around your passion or mission, hear some incredible stories, dive deeper into themes I'd love to learn from you and hopefully answer some of my own life's biggest questions.
