Rooted.
On how we lead, live, tend, gather, and build.
The best conversations rarely stay where they began. A question about leadership becomes one about identity, faith, ambition, or the choices that ask something of us. I'm interested in those turns, and in the people willing to take them.
Rooted brings together interviews with leaders, essays of my own, and notes from my family's farms in Zambia. Different people, places, and perspectives, with a recurring curiosity about what shapes us, what grounds us, and what we choose to build.
