What’s It All About?

Today’s episode is all about turning adversity into purpose. Host Kevin Lowe shares the inspiring story of Andrew 'Andy' Buerger, a man who transformed his personal tragedies into a mission to help others. After losing his mother, father, and beloved sister Jodi, Andy created Jodi’s Climb for Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to funding medical research through adventure-driven fundraising. Through Andy’s journey, we explore how living for something greater than ourselves can fuel resilience and purpose—even in the face of unimaginable loss.

One of the most powerful moments of Andy’s journey? How writing his children’s names on his water bottles while descending Mount Whitney gave him the strength to keep going. This small act is a reminder that when we have something to fight for, we can push through even the toughest moments.

Some Key Takeaways:

• Purpose fuels resilience – Finding a cause bigger than yourself can give you the strength to overcome life’s hardest challenges.
• Small acts matter – You don’t have to start a nonprofit to make a difference; everyday kindness and support can change lives.
• Loss can lead to impact – Even in the darkest moments, there’s an opportunity to create something meaningful that honors the past and helps the future.

Andrew 'Andy' Buerger’s life has been marked by loss—his mother at just a year old, his father at 31, and later, his sister Jodi to breast cancer.

Through Jodi’s Climb for Hope, Andy has organized mountain climbing expeditions to raise funds for breast cancer and MS research. By literally climbing mountains, he and his team symbolize the resilience needed to face life’s greatest challenges.

What if one simple, two-syllable word could change your life? It’s a word we say every day—sometimes without even thinking—but when spoken with intention, it can open doors to new opportunities, meaningful relationships, and unforgettable experiences.

Today's Source of Inspiration:

Inspired by a recent issue of "Extra Mile Thursday," an amazing weekly newsletter written by the "Extra Mile Man" himself, Shawn Anderson, I’m sharing how a simple act of acknowledgment turned an ordinary trip into something extraordinary.

Shawn, a past guest on the podcast, used the power of a simple word to connect with a college basketball coach, uncover the fearless mindset of a skydiver, and even share in a soon-to-be fiancé’s life-changing journey. His experiences beautifully illustrate the incredible possibilities that unfold when we lead with intentional connection.

Go ahead and press play... you've got to find out how you can make this tiny little word a big part of your life!
