Dr. Grant Gearhart is a current associate Spanish professor at Georgia Southern University and former professor at UNC Chapel Hill where he taught our host Drew for 3 years. Grant is deeply passionate about language and culture dedicating his life's work to education and spreading cultural awareness.
Grant has a unique perspective as a student and teacher of Spanish as well as being married to his Spanish wife whose family they visit twice a year there. He understands the cultural differences between the U.S. and Spain and ultimately how we can all benefit from learning about different cultures - which is the basis for his famous slogan amongst his students "don't be a tourist, be a traveler."
Grant shares with sincere humility and gratitude recognizing his own teachers that have impacted him, while also zooming out and thinking about the big picture behind his work and passions. A truly inspiring and fruitful conversation!
