Every now and then you meet people that renew your faith in humanity. I had the pleasure of having the McNeil family on the podcast this week and all I can say is that the depths or their servants hearts mentality was as humbling as it was inspiring. Their passion for helping inner city kids and the outdoors manifested in City Kids Adventures, a 20 year journey impacting hundreds of kids and inspiring people all over the country.

Key Takeaways:

How do you see the world? See it. Experience it. Live it!

Learning to celebrate each other and our differences.

Social media versus the human connection - savor the human element

The more time our kids spent in the outdoors, the less they desired the technology.

Life brings you heroes from the most unlikely places.

Passion for helping others experience something new fuels our soul.

It takes a village to raise a child. These kids become family.

Whatever that environment has to offer is what you will learn.

Hard work has many rewards - you have to earn it.

Exposure to new things provides you with a new perspective and the opportunity to make an educated choice.
