In this episode, James invites Joe Lowther, the CEO of KICK, a man whose faith and passion have driven him to transform the lives of countless children, regardless of their background or faith. A decade ago, Joe made a life-changing decision to quit his job and join a team of seven at Kick London. Since then, he has steered the organization into a thriving national non-profit dedicated to offering hope and a future to young people.
