Heromakers Podcast

In this episode of the Heromakers Podcast, Laurie and Ann talk to Tom Lillig and Dave Shurna, authors of the newly-released What's Within You: Your Roadmap to Living Life with No Barriers. The two talk about what it means to find your vision for your life, walk in community with others, and to face the barriers in front of you head on.

In this episode of the Heromakers Podcast, Laurie and Ann talk with ultrarunner, IT guy, and justice pursuer Ben Chan on Black Lives Matter, what it's like to experience racism, how we can fight compassion fatigue, and why it was a no-brainer to offer his kidney to a friend in need of one.

We hope this episode encourages you to both keep fighting for those who face injustice as well as well dig deeper in yourself to discover what you really believe about those around you and how to do the hard work of self-reflection.
