Jon Bailey & Chad Lawson — Tech, Listening, and Felted Piano Strings
Jon Bailey, Renovaré Board Chair and serial entrepreneur, knows technology can distract and harm. But his belief that it can also be used for good led him to co-create the Scripture listening app Dwell. Its thoughtful music was scored by Steinway artist and composer Chad Lawson, who also joins this episode.
