In this episode, host Dave Fiore speaks with Dr. Judy Mandrell – pastor, community builder and popular radio host. Raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Judy has been on a lifelong mission to use every available resource to impact those around her. Examples include organizing a student walkout to protest unfair treatment at her recently desegregated high school, giving away her sisters’ clothes (without their knowledge) to girls in need, and once even using a freezer full of freshly butchered beef to entice a crowd across town to listen to her faith story.

Today, Judy’s influence has grown to include the church she co-pastors with her husband, Gerald, a large radio audience listening to Real Talk with Judy and the very popular Sister Girls network that brings women together to encourage and give them hope. For this owner of more than 520 pairs of glasses, there is much more than meets the eye.
