In episode 18 of The Joy of Leadership Podcast, Dr. James Taylor sits down with Kelvin Cochran, the former Fire Chief for the City of Atlanta. He shares about growing up in poverty, his path to becoming a firefighter, and how his faith led him through adversity. He now holds the position of senior vice president of human resources and faith initiatives at Alliance Defending Freedom, the same law firm that defended him in his case against the city of Atlanta after being fired for expressing his Christian beliefs.
