Ed Squire is the founder and host of Visible Kindness, a podcast and storytelling platform centered on healing, compassion, faith, and human connection.

A former strategic business consultant who worked with Fortune 500 organizations across North America and Europe, Ed now uses his voice and life experience to explore trauma recovery, identity, kindness, faith, and transformation through deeply honest conversations and personal storytelling.

After surviving childhood trauma, emotional struggles, and years of internal battles, Ed created Visible Kindness as a place for real conversations about what it means to heal, surrender, love others well, and live authentically.

Through podcasting, filmmaking, writing, and speaking, Ed shares stories that encourage people to move beyond performance and into genuine transformation — reminding others that kindness is not weakness, but evidence of healing.

His work blends biblical insight, lived experience, vulnerability, and hope in a way that feels conversational, grounded, and deeply human.

A personal conversation about surrender, trauma, transformation, and the true meaning of loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

In this deeply personal solo episode of Visible Kindness, Ed Squire explores the scripture that became the foundation for the entire Visible Kindness mission:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind… and love your neighbor as yourself.” — Matthew 22:37–39

Ed shares how this verse shaped the creation of Visible Kindness during one of the darkest periods of his life and reflects honestly on trauma, surrender, healing, and spiritual transformation.

Through personal storytelling and biblical insight, this episode explores what it truly means to love God beyond religious performance — and how genuine kindness flows from a transformed heart.
