S2 E20 - Stuart Jones Talks - For the love of Stephen

Author: Angela & Tango May 20, 2026 Duration: 59:31

I’m not coming to your podcast with theory—I’m coming with a story that has been lived.

I’m Dr. Stuart D. Jones, award-winning author of For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken. My book is a memoir about my brother who lived with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a foreword by Dr. Temple Grandin and now included in the Library of Congress. His life—and his loss—reshaped how I understand dignity, belonging, faith, and what it truly means to be human.

Professionally, I spent my early career as a minister, then spent 30 years in executive leadership in higher education, and now teach speech communication part-time at the university level. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with audiences across the country and appear on many podcasts, where I’m known for thoughtful, engaging, and often unexpectedly humorous conversations. My reviews will attest to my high-energy style.

On your podcast, I will help listeners rethink disability, challenge assumptions, deepen empathy, and see others—and themselves—through a more human and inclusive lens.

If your audience is open to a conversation that is heartfelt, honest, faith-based, and perspective-changing, I would be honored to join you.


At Tango Talks, the conversation starts where the usual scripts end. Hosts Angela and Tango bring their distinct voices to a table that welcomes guest speakers from all corners of society, culture, and tech, fostering discussions that are as open and honest as they are unpredictable. Recorded from their home base, the podcast feels less like a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair for a genuine talk among friends. You’ll hear explorations of practical business wisdom and the entrepreneurial spirit, balanced with down-to-earth chats about cultivating a garden, making a home, and the simple joys of leisure. The range is deliberate, reflecting a belief that life’s most valuable lessons are found in the blend of the professional and the personal, the high-tech and the hands-in-the-soil. Each episode navigates this spectrum, from the nostalgia of bygone eras to the complexities of our digital present, all with a relatable and often witty perspective. This is a podcast built on the idea that meaningful connection happens when we talk openly about everything we do, make, and think. Listen for stories, insights, and conversations that remind you of the rich texture of everyday life, all delivered with straightforward authenticity.
