Have you ever encountered someone, either for a moment or from a distance, and wondered…what is their story? Welcome to The Greatest People You’ve Never Met. I’m your host Bennett Senf, and I have spent most of my life asking that very question of people from all backgrounds, life experiences, and parts of the world. This podcast will explore their personal histories, their wisdom, their obstacles and adventures, and their perspective on, well, just about everything. Artists, athletes, creatives, executives, innovators, entrepreneurs, and everyday people from all walks of life; I’ll sit down for a conversation to explore their journeys, their hopes, their dreams, and what it is that makes them uniquely…great. So come along for the ride, follow us now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your shows.
