Grounded on Purpose
by Jennifer Duck
Welcome to Grounded on Purpose with Jennifer Duck. This is an intentional space where we can get grounded together and gain insight from experts I’ve met in my personal, academic, and professional life as an Emmy Award winning TV producer and college professor. My work with Oprah, Katie Couric, and Anderson Cooper, among many others, has given me access to the world’s most incredible thought leaders who will help bring us all back down to earth. So let’s dig in! I’m truly so excited to have you join me on this journey as we get grounded together on purpose.
