Today we are sitting down with Jeremy Cowart, an award-winning photographer, artist, and entrepreneur whose mission in life is to "explore the intersection of creativity and empathy." We learn about how he got started, and we delve into his journey as a creative entrepreneur. As entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders, there are times when we have a dream or an idea, and the process of bringing it to life will take years with endless obstacles. In 2015, Jeremy shared a HUGE idea with the world, and he's spent the past six years building The Purpose Hotel. From the very beginning of this interview, we notice that Jeremy is someone who has lots of ideas, and he acts on so many of them. He shared about his process of testing and bring an idea to life.

We dive into building business plans, sustaining relationships (personal and professional), diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, forming values while being a part of true cultural change for good, and so much more.
