After retiring from a career designing power plants, Clete Yoder took one trip to Mississippi with a friend to help rebuild a home -- and never really stopped.

Host Gloria Nussbaum sits down with Clete to trace a journey that has taken him from Ohio to Alaska, Puerto Rico, Saipan, American Samoa, and eastern Kentucky, where he once built two bridges in a single week. A civil engineer turned MDS project director, Clete shares what it means to build teams, work alongside community partners, and find a meaningful job for every volunteer who shows up, regardless of experience level.

What has he received in return? Happy faces, and the quiet satisfaction of watching volunteers go further than they thought they could.
