In this emotional and inspiring episode of People Helping People Live, host Alexander J. welcomes Julie Barth — author of Notes from a BlackBerry, From Blackberries to Thorns, and her upcoming release From Thorns to Blossoms.

A mother of six and professional writer, Julie shares how her life’s challenges — from love and loss to growth and gratitude — have shaped both her as a person and her writing. Her words carry the wisdom of someone who’s faced hardship head-on and still chooses joy, courage, and compassion.

Julie is also the CEO and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit organization helping women-led households find stability and safety in times of crisis. Her story is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means growing stronger, and helping others do the same.

🌹 This episode is about hope, resilience, and the beauty that can bloom from life’s hardest seasons.

When people help people, the impact goes far beyond what we see.

In this thought-provoking episode of People Helping People Live, Alexander J. welcomes Dr. Alan Mueller — educator, consultant, TEDx speaker, and longtime volunteer with Step Up Greensboro, an organization dedicated to helping out-of-work adults secure employment.

For nearly 15 years, Alan has served others through humility, perspective-shifting conversations, and empathy-driven leadership. His own story includes being invited onto the board of Step Up Greensboro while working as an Assistant Dean of Career Development — only to later be laid off himself. Instead of discouragement, he turned the experience into fuel for compassion, service, and deeper understanding.

We dive into his work at Adaptive Challenge Consulting, his mission to help people adopt perspectives they may never encounter on their own, and why developing empathy is one of the most powerful tools for personal and community transformation.

This episode opens minds, challenges assumptions, and inspires listeners to see the world through a wider lens.

In this powerful episode of People Helping People Live, Alexander J. sits down with Eric Dupree, a true community leader whose heart for service continues to make a real impact—especially for those experiencing homelessness.

Eric is the force behind the 10th Annual Blanket Drive for the Homeless, an initiative dedicated to providing warmth, dignity, and hope to people in need during the coldest months of the year. What started as a simple act of kindness has grown into a meaningful annual effort that brings the community together to show up for those often forgotten.

We talk about why Eric started the blanket drive, what he’s witnessed firsthand in the community, and how small acts of compassion can ripple into life-changing impact. This episode is a reminder that helping people doesn’t require perfection—just consistency, heart, and action.
