The Lucky Few

282. Adoption, Purpose, and the Founding of RODS Heroes (w/Brady Murray)


Listen Later

Happy first week of November AND National Adoption Month! Today we’re thrilled to welcome Brady Murray, the passionate founder of RODS Heroes. Brady’s nonprofit has helped hundreds of children with Down syndrome find loving homes around the world. As a father of eleven—including two children with Down syndrome—Brady shares his personal journey with adoption, from being adopted himself to adopting seven of his children from around the globe. Hear the inspiring story behind how a triathlon became the seed for RODS Heroes, the miracles he’s witnessed along the way, and why he believes that when we invest in causes greater than ourselves, we experience incredible transformation. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
