The Kurty D Show

025 - It’s Time for Change with Chris Jones

Episode Summary

This week I'm excited to share my conversation with my new friend, Chris Jones, who is running for Governor of the State of Arkansas. This by for one of the most inspiring and practical episodes I’ve done yet. This episode has a lot to offer anyone interested in the intersection of science and spirituality, what’s special about Arkansas, and what’s on the horizon for the Middle of the United States as we deglobalize. Chris also outlines his platform for his gubernatorial campaign- and how he’s on a mission to help as many Arkansasans as possible discover their true genius and live a productive and fulfilled life.
