LORI BRAUER: COMPASSIONATE ENTREPRENEUR

LORI BRAUER: COMPASSIONATE ENTREPRENEUR

Author: Christian Ward January 12, 2020 Duration: 1:27:15
If there is one thing I know about Lori Brauer, it's her enormous heart. You can feel it the moment you meet. For the past 15 years Lori has been engaged in work with non-profits, raising funds and attention for less than fortunate people and worthy causes. The other thing about Lori is that she is self-effacing. Her sense of humility comes out during our conversation as you'll hear, always giving credit to others and drawing it away from her.

Christian Ward hosts Interesting Humans, a series built on a simple, compelling idea: extraordinary stories are everywhere, woven into the fabric of ordinary life. While we might interact with hundreds of people, we rarely get beneath the surface. This podcast is an invitation to do exactly that. Each conversation is a deliberate exploration of the mindset and philosophy that drive people from all walks of life-artists, thinkers, community builders, those dedicated to physical and mental well-being. You’ll hear how creativity sparks in unexpected places, how personal challenges are reframed into fuel for achievement, and how quiet dedication in fields from culture to fitness shapes a meaningful existence. The focus is less on external accolades and more on the internal landscapes: the motivations, the setbacks navigated, and the unique perspectives that make someone's narrative resonate. It’s about listening for the depth in the everyday, discovering the remarkable threads in the stories of people who create, solve, move, teach, and love. Tune in for genuine, meandering talks that reveal what we often miss in passing, and find connection in the shared human experience of growth and understanding.
