Productive Lives

"I had two paper bags, and that was my suitcase from foster home to foster home." Before Bob Beam became a fixture of the Kensington community, he was a young boy in the Poconos living off the land, hunting for survival, and witnessing things no nine-year-old should ever see. In this first of a four-part series, Bob opens up about the moment his childhood shattered, his trek through 23 different foster homes, and the "headstrong" resilience that kept him moving when everything else fell apart.
Follow the Journey: This is Part 1 of a 4-part series. Subscribe to The Productive Lives Podcast so you don't miss the next chapter of Bob's redemption story.
