Ep 41: Emerging From Hiding and Living a Life that Matters || Calvin Bagley
What are you hiding?
In this powerful episode of Pebbles of Light, Anne Maxson sits down with entrepreneur and author Calvin Bagley, whose early life was shaped by isolation, lack of formal education, and deep personal struggle. As a child, Calvin literally hid from the school bus because his parents refused to send their children to school.
But that’s only the beginning of his story.
From teaching himself to read to earning a GED at 21, attending college, becoming a successful entrepreneur, and eventually writing the bestselling memoir Hiding from the School Bus, Calvin’s journey is one of resilience, faith, and transformation.
In this conversation, Calvin shares:
- What it meant to grow up hiding from the school bus
- How learning to read changed his life
- The turning points that reshaped his faith
- His unconventional path to college and entrepreneurship
- The process of healing from trauma and learning that “the storm is over”
- Why telling his story helped him—and others—stop hiding
This episode is a powerful reminder that our past does not define our future, and that transformation often begins the moment we choose honesty and courage.
