Our Crew
Josh Brown is a dreamer, co-creator, and adventurer. As long as the adventuring doesn’t involve heights. He’s was a former staff member with a couple of evangelical megachurches before he called it quits a couple of years ago. Now he sits at home all day where he reads, travels, and blogs. And when he gets desperate for money, he runs Red Cowboy Designs. He likes to think of himself as an affable bloke. One day soon he’s going to put on his big boy pants and re-enter a faith community. For now, he’s busy just plotting and imagining what that day will look like. And working on the courage to take that jump. Check out his blog at IAmJoshBrown.com.
Nicholas Fiedler is the co-creator of The Nick and Josh Podcast. He has a degree in English and has worked as a World Religions teacher, a Youth Worship Director, and a Senior Credit Manager. Most importantly though, he has worked with Josh Brown to figure out how to get in conversations with some top thinkers and record them. Nicholas has church experience in that he worked with youth and music for about 6 years. He has worked and been in many faith expressions and now helps with cohorts and podcasts anywhere he happens to be but does not have a church affiliation. He and his wife Leslie are world travelers and will be living abroad for the next couple years. Nicholas blogs, speaks, creates music, throws parties, buys drinks, and challenges. He is interested in technology and post-christian thought. The podcast was his first big venture and his next will be world travel coupled with a financial reform movement that hopes to shake the giving structure of any institution bearing the title ‘church’. He blogs at NicholasFiedler.com.
Ariah Fine is a Community Organizer living in North Minneapolis. He spends his days with his beautiful baby daughter. He writes regularly at his blog, Trying to Follow. Ariah is also our main portal to Corporate Responsibility, where he heads up the reoccurring segment that covers informed purchases, ethical standards, and justice in the workplace. He also blogs about topics that are important to him, primarily his faith and his attempt to live his faith out in his day to day life. That usually consist of getting into the nitty gritty of finances, politics, ethics and relationships.
