Hear the incredible story of how CEO and Co-Founder, Elliott Potter, went from a Music major to a highly skilled coder and started the wildly successful technology company, Linq.

His insights will inspire you and reveal that connecting with others is the foundation to life. In fact, it became the mission of Linq: "to expand your capacity for human connection."

As Elliott shared, "As a founder, you have to be both confident enough to take leaps to make assumptions about the future, which is a very bold thing to do; but you also have to have enough curiosity, open-mindedness, and humility to understand when you're wrong and change course."

Tune in to hear more insights from Elliott as he shares this wild ride to being in the technology world from somewhere other than Silicon Valley.

The Greek word "Sozo" means to save; keep safe and sound. It refers to restoring wholeness in a person that was once suffering. We all look for restoration when our journey takes us down a difficult path; but what if there were no provisions, no guidance, no place to go, no food or clothing? And what if you were a child living in these conditions all alone? How does restoration happen in such dire circumstances?

My guest today, Suzanne Owens, CEO of Sozo Children, answered the call to save neglected children in Uganda, who were living in unimaginable circumstances. Suzanne's heart for service, love for others, and drive for change, created something that allowed these children to know what it means to be safe and sound.

Personal behavioral change does not happen in a week, a month or even a year. Lasting change requires intensive education and practice. My guest, Dave Durocher, has transformed from a hardened, violent criminal to a passionate, professional, inspiring man with a heart for serving others. His story will shock, captivate, and inspire you. Dave was given "the opportunity of a lifetime" when a judge allowed him to go to a facility for change, rather than go to prison for the rest of his life. He fell in love with the process, with himself, and with serving others.

Tune in to hear how Dave helps people reach the other side by teaching them both fundamental personal management and relationship skills such as keeping one's promise, accountability, love, charity, and dependability. At The Other Side Academy, students awaken to their own value as they support their peers in finding theirs. They work hard, have a good attitude, and watch out for the next person. The most lost among us are taught to have a life free of addiction, crime and destruction.
