Show Notes:
If you are a person of faith, no matter your concept of God and faith, what role does your faith in God play in your path towards your success? For me personally it’s impacted the goals I have chosen to pursue, my view of what success is, my feelings about money, and more. For our guest today, her faith in God has influenced her own journey every step of the way. So much so that she now hosts a very successful podcast focused on faith and strives to live every day so she can be a little pencil in God’s hands.
Our guest today is Morgan Jones. Morgan is the host of the All In podcast and works as a senior content producer for Deseret Book. She previously wrote for the Deseret News where she published more than 480 stories. The All In podcast has collected over 9 million downloads in three years since its launch in October 2018. Her new book, All In: Exploring What It Means to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ, shares what she has learned from interviewing over 130 people about their faith in Jesus Christ. Morgan is happiest when wearing sweatpants and will never get enough dark chocolate. She currently lives in Salt Lake City, but will forever be a North Carolina Tarheel.
