About this listen

Hi, I’m Brad Weesner. I’ll be the first to admit I’m a social butterfly — I love engaging with people and drawing out their true nature. On my podcast, I will converse with creators, makers, and thought leaders to learn the stories behind what makes them tick. In my search for meaning in my life, I have been drawn to beauty and its genesis. As such I will try to get to know each guest better to draw out an understanding of beauty and meaning in the context of their lives.

During my varied career in hospitality service, real estate, and interior design, the common thread has been growing tight-knit relationships. It is my goal to continue to explore truth and beauty above all things as a process of growth and drawing closer to the people with whom I speak. I’ve been told the stories that make up my life are great. I know you will enjoy them and my guests’ stories. Join us.
