Our Mission
Sharing Faith, Inspiring Purpose, Transforming Lives
At Amazing Greats, our mission is to inspire, uplift, and strengthen individuals through authentic conversations rooted in faith. We are committed to sharing powerful life stories from authors, athletes, artists, leaders, and everyday believers whose journeys reflect perseverance, purpose, and trust in God.
Through meaningful Christian podcast discussions, we aim to highlight how faith shapes character, builds resilience, and guides people through both challenges and triumphs. Our goal is not only to tell stories, but to spark hope, encourage spiritual growth, and remind listeners that God works through every season of life.
We strive to create a platform where testimonies become tools for transformation — empowering our audience to walk confidently in their calling, deepen their relationship with Christ, and live a life anchored in faith and purpose.
Meet Our Team
Ric Hansen
Founder & Host
Ric Hansen spent nearly 40 years in Seattle radio, building a career that put him face-to-face with some of the most fascinating voices in entertainment. From Bob Hope to “Weird Al” Yankovic, Ric has shared the mic — and unforgettable moments — with legends across music, film, sports, and comedy. But his most meaningful chapter began in 2013, when he recommitted his life to Christ and was re-baptized.
Today, Ric brings that same interview instinct and curiosity to Amazing Greats, uncovering the raw, authentic faith stories of actors, authors, athletes, musicians, and business leaders. His passion for drawing out real conversations is what makes each episode resonate. These aren’t surface-level interviews — they’re powerful stories of tragedy and triumph, and inspiring deep dives into how Jesus walks with His people through it all.
Klem Daniels
Show producer and Host
As an on-air personality and Production Director, he spent more than 30 years in Seattle radio. The crown jewel of his career was serving as Production Director at KJR Radio in Seattle, followed by his leadership role at “Kid Star,” where he managed six studios and oversaw creative production for a national audience of 8–12-year-olds.
Today, Klem is a semi-retired audio and video producer and founder of Klem Daniels Productions. Over the past four years, he has produced more than 80 episodes of the Amazing Greats Podcast. His expertise and dedication provide the backbone of the show’s consistent excellence in sound quality, editing, and overall production.
George Toles
Mentor/ Spiritual Counselor /Trusted friend
He's been a deejay, a newscaster, a television sports anchor, a program director, a radio sales executive, Danny Kaye's recording studio manager, a commercial voice talent, the NBA stadium announcer for the Seattle SuperSonics, and the owner of a successful ad agency.
He earned broadcasting degrees from Wheaton College and the University of Illinois. But his most powerful contribution hasn't been behind a microphone or in front of a camera. For more than 35 years, George has faithfully helped men explore the teachings of Jesus Christ. For the first 20 years, they gathered faithfully in Nordstrom's boardroom — a quiet, consistent place where lives were shaped, strengthened, and anchored in truth.
From the very beginning, George has been a blessing to the Amazing Greats podcast — offering wisdom, encouragement, practical counsel, and steady support. Many of our guests aren't just respected leaders... they are personal friends of this giant of a man.
