On the next episode of the Attorney Heart Podcast I had the great pleasure of interviewing Katy Sherratt, an award winning social innovation leader and the CEO of Back on My Feet.
Back on My Feet (backonmyfeet.org) combats homelessness through the power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing resources.
Under Katy’s leadership Back on My Feet has gone from early stage startup to sustainable organization with a $9M+ operating budget, 60+ staff nationwide and consistent double digit financial and programmatic growth.
Back on My Feet partnerships include Marriott International, ACE Cash Express, Accenture, Aramark, AT&T, Bimbo Bakeries, Brooks, White Lodging, Ernst & Young, Cigna, Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, Samsung, Stand Together Foundation and the San Francisco Warriors.
Katy has been named among Authority Magazine’s 2019 ‘Female Disruptors’ and Women’s Running Magazine’s ‘Top 20 Game-Changers’ and has been featured across multiple media and news outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Forbes, New York Times, ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox News, Inc.com, Entrepreneur Magazine, Thrive Global, Popsugar, Runners World and numerous women’s health magazines.
I truly loved my conversation with Katy about how she became the CEO of Back on My Feet and also how she is helping people gain empathy for people experiencing homelessness. Leading with empathy is key and I'm very grateful for the various wellness tips that Katy provides. Enjoy!
