#4: Huw Kingston Part 1 — A Man on a Bike, A Message in a Bottle and a Case of Water Setting The World On Fire

"Never underestimate the power that we have as individuals" is a quote by the latest podcast guest, Huw Kingston. A long time environmentalist, lover of nature and serious adventurer and explorer, Huw has sought ways to merge the worlds that speak to every heart. The stories in this interview are of the modern day version of David slaying Goliath, and what may surprise you is how it was done — with human kindness!
And it’s this human kindness that’s the driving theme behind Huw’s stories and projects,  and its impact and power to create change. Kindness to the self,  to each other, as the shared purpose, creating community, and kindness to the sweet precious earth he’s trying to sustain.  
One of the biggest questions is where to begin to create the power to create change, and the answers seem to be one of Huws greatest gifts — the ability to motivate, guide, create a shared intention and put into motion the framework that gets the job done and... always gives back! 
We discuss the personal impact on living authentically and personal dedication to make an impact. I mean, can you imagine what it was like to walk back into a marriage after 15 months away?? The truth is, there is just too much here to write about in one short blog and too much to talk about in one interview so there is Part 1 and Part 2 of this podcast.
Each episode is filled with jaw dropping inspiration that will change the lens you look through and give you some personal guidance too. My hope through all of this is that you will realize the theme, the common thread through it all; Human kindness is the key but always asks that you also give back. This is where Huw shines and invites you to explore how you can do this in your life too.
Listen in on Part 1 of the Huw Kingston interview. I promise, you'll be inspired.
