Greg Atkinson is back! The author of several books, including The Secret Power of Kindness: 10 Keys to Unlocking Your Capacity to Change the World, Greg is probably most well-known as one of the leading church experts on hospitality and First Impressions.
Greg and I talk about his brave choice to end the cycle of abuse he inherited from his family and choose kindness instead. Plus, he answers several important questions, like
- What is kindness?
- Why is kindness so powerful?
- Practical ways to become a kinder person
