Listen Later

If you're stuck in the holiday hustle and bustle and need a jolt of perspective on what's really important, this episode is for you!

Danielle Gletow, founder of One Simple Wish, opens up about the personal experiences and values that led her to create this remarkable platform, which empowers people to directly grant wishes for children and young adults facing challenges like foster care, poverty, and homelessness.

As Danielle explains, her own difficult upbringing fueled a deep desire to provide the support and resources she wishes she had access to growing up. Through One Simple Wish, she's found a way to amplify the voices of those in need and give everyday people a meaningful way to make a difference.

The conversation explores the ups and downs of running a growing nonprofit organization. Danielle gets candid about the tough decisions she's had to make, like leaving the corporate world to focus on her passion project, and turning down high-profile media opportunities that didn't align with her values. She also shares how One Simple Wish unexpectedly went viral after a Reddit post, and the important lessons she learned about handling sudden spikes in attention and donations.

Throughout it all, Danielle emphasizes the importance of staying true to your purpose and finding fulfillment in the work itself, rather than chasing external validation or attention. Her infectious energy and unwavering commitment to making a real, lasting impact are truly inspiring.
