This week we had the honor of chatting with the founder and CEO of Good Good Good, an organization dedicated to ONLY good news!!! 

Through their newsletter, podcast, and actual, real-life, physical newspaper, Good Good Good helps share hope and optimism with anyone who wants it.

This week we are joined by one of our dearest friends!

Milaya is a journalism student who recently completed an incredible internship with The News-Gazette in Champaign Illinois.

This week we’re joined by the lovely Caitlin Crommett from DreamCatchers Foundation, an organization that works with young adults to provide wishes and memories for people in hospice care. 

DreamCatchers does incredible work, not only to provide hospice patients with some joy in their final days but also to bridge the generational gap. 

We chatted with Caitlin about how DreamCatchers works, and what it was like to start a non-profit at 15 years old!

This conversation was delightful, and Cailtin is truly a courageously kind human being!

There's a leader within all of us. How do we identify leaders in ourselves and our communities?

It takes kindness and a whole lot of courage to discover the leader within ourselves, and to honor the leaders we find in others!

This past week we had the privilege of chatting with some amazing students and fellow leaders from New York State at the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Conference. Huge thank you to Bradley Cech for this opportunity!
