Welcome to our first episode of Hope in Heartland! This podcast is about exploring the extraordinary lives that people are living right here in the Midwest, both in interviews and lively discussion. We are really striving to show the many opportunities for amazing careers and experiences within our own backyard, rather than the thought that you have to “get out of here” in order to live an awesome life.
In this first episode, we explore what this podcast is all about, including segments like 'Success of the Week" and "Zeal Living Tips". We also chat with Christy Shell, the host of the show, and hear about her own inspiring journey of living life to the fullest as she started her own business, Zeal Coaching.
