Kerry Wald is a well-known Las Vegas bartender, storyteller, poet and world-class listener. In this episode, Kerry shares how his journey behind the bar has allowed him a first-row seat to the pain people carry in silence, until they open up to him, a stranger. From those raw stories, Kerry learned the value of truly listening and of finding the joy in helping others. With shocking emotional depth, Kerry also reveals how that led him to writing as a way to reflect, connect, and ultimately heal for himself.
The episode offers advice from a bartender that doubles as life wisdom. With a compelling mix of humor and heart, and a handful of stories about Old Vegas, Kerry details how empathy and storytelling can change lives — one quiet conversation at a time. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure how to begin healing, this episode is for you, on the Back 9.
