Friends In Wonder
Friends in Wonder is a podcast co-hosted by Vince Kern and Joe Luther, two lifelong friends who were born at the tail end of the classic "baby boomer generation.” Since they were curious grade-schoolers walking their dogs late at night, their conversations always delved into a vast array of topics through the lens of wonder and awe. They have maintained this journey throughout their varied professional careers during the technical revolution and friendship spanning over five decades. Listen as they explore a wide range of topics through their soulfully connected adventures in self-growth by asking the question; “How does this help?”
