196 - Brent Olson on the Warrior Who Stands Between the Helpless and the Darkness

It's all about making every second count – and Brent Olson sure knows what that means. What a great way to kickstart Season V of the podcast! As a child, he tried his hand at writing a novel and the sting of rejection set him back... So off he dove into farming. Those were his hands. Then, at the age of 40 and looking for change, he turned his hands to the keyboard, remaking himself as a journalist and columnist. Be sure to check out his books and writing, such as the editorial he mentions that was awarded "Best Editorial in the United States, 2020 (AAEA)". Be prepared to be surprised and inspired. Thank you, Brent.
