Tim Harris: Hugging the World Back Together

Deskripsi

What if the most powerful thing you could offer the world wasn't your résumé or achievements, but simply your presence and a hug? Tim Harris is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, Special Olympics athlete, author of The Book of Hugs, host of the Big Heart Talks with Tim podcast, and founder of Tim's Big Heart Foundation. Raised in Albuquerque, Tim built a life around one belief: love, kindness, and connection can change everything. He ran Tim's Place: Breakfast, Lunch & Hugs, greeting every guest at the front door — all while living with Down syndrome, not in spite of who he is, but because of it. In this conversation, Tim shares about his seven steps to anawesome life, what he told a worried father whose baby would be born with Down syndrome, and why hugs are the best medicine in the world. Miles and Tim talk about their love of country music and feature a special performance of a countryclassic. These new best friends cover it all before Tim’s 5 o’clock flight home.
