A Conversation with Jan Bowen on Creating a Life of Purpose

Dec 1, 2018

Jan L. Bowen is a certified life and executive coach, thought leader, keynote speaker, author, writer, animal-lover, dancer, and dear friend to many. Though she has various degrees and certifications, what stands out about Jan most of all is her ability to genuinely connect with others -- regardless of age, race, gender, spirituality, or anything else.

Jan founded Strategic Solutions Services, LLC in 2003. Her first book, It’s Not That Complicated, was published in 2015. Jan connected with Jess Tholmer shortly after and they have worked together ever since. In this flipped around interview, Jan is the guest on her own podcast where she and Jess discuss everything from books to childhood, and above all else, what living a life of purpose really means.
