Description

Have you ever experienced the way small moments can impact our lives? Have you ever wanted to participate in a movement to change our world? Jason Barger spent seven straight days flying 6,548 miles to seven different cities in the United States, living only in the airports. He studied 10,000 minutes of observations and reflected on how our airport experiences can teach us about our lives today. The airport metaphor leaps to life through profound anecdotes about an orphanage in Mexico, a summer camp in Ohio, climbing Mt. Everest, a hotdog grill, and much more. These funny and inspiring stories show us how to change our daily world through thoughtful and compassionate action.

He also implemented the Streets Mission Project to serve the homeless of Columbus, Ohio. He is a graduate of Denison University and has received certification from Georgetown University in Nonprofit Executive Management.
