Goodmakers Podcast features long-form conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and builders dedicated to the shared mission of cultural renewal. It's a post-cynical age podcast about uniting people around a shared story with a cruciform vision of flourishing at its center, and collaborating together to build what is good. Hosted by Paul Anleitner, President/CEO of Goodmakers and a cultural theologian, whose work focuses on the role of culture and story in our quest for meaning. His unique interdisciplinary approach integrates theology, philosophy, and science to help individuals and institutions navigate cultural shifts and address perennial religious longings. www.goodmakers.co
