Many Americans want to make a difference in their communities. The challenge is not always willingness—it is finding an opportunity that fits their lives. @ArmyNormalFolks, the movement led by @IamCoachBill, is redefining service with a six pilot programs across the U.S. At the heart of each club is a core premise: service can strengthen a community—and help people find connection within it. "You just join us when you can," says co-founder Alex Cortes. Read the full story: bit.ly/4Av4Ef4

It was an honor to meet a real life leprechaun today Madison, WI's most notable leprechaun, Joe Herr, was with us for the pod But not because he's a seasonal leprechaun, but because his nonprofit Logan's Heart and Smiles has helped over 450 children with disabilities

♦️Read / #repost / Join 📻♦️ The movement and podcast @ArmyNormalFolks has an awesome offer to help us save The Hope For The Holidays 50 State Tour!  For every person who signs up to join An Army of Normal Folks, they’ll donate $1 to support the tour. And upwards of $10,000!  I hope you’ll signup to join the Army at NormalFolks.us or click the link in my bio.  You should signup to join this incredible movement anyway, so this is a no brainer!  It’s based on Oscar-winner Coach Bill Courtney’s powerful belief that “Our country’s problems will never be solved by a bunch of fancy people in nice suits talking big words on CNN and Fox, but by An Army of Normal Folks just deciding ‘Hey, I can help.’”  Rodney and I have both been on their great podcast :)

@ArmyNormalFolks Join The Army!
For every single therapist in America, there are 350 people looking for that type of support. There will never be enough therapists to meet this need. That’s what @giveanhour, a nonprofit which started by recruiting therapists to donate an hour of therapy a week to military service members, veterans, and their families, eventually concluded. And they’re chasing after a better way. Funny enough, their answer is you and me….. their own Army of Normal Folks, serving one another in peer support groups and as Wellness Ambassadors (leaders helping their community), which can be just as effective as therapy. They’ve trained over 1,000 folks to lead peer support groups, 1,322 Wellness Ambassadors, and there’s 4,000 mental health professionals in their volunteer network. All three legs of the stool are crucial… and make for a much better stool than a one-legged one. We cannot wait for you to meet their CEO Dr. Trina Clayeux on the latest episode of the podcast. And I hope you’ll consider joining one of the stools.
