Today we are joined by Courtney Bierschbach, Director of Community Engagement for Wander Project. Wander Project is a nonprofit organization that empowers individuals to make an impact in the communities they run and play in.

In 2023 alone, Wander Projects charity bib athletes were able to raise over $400,000 through events ranging from 5k races all the way up to 250 ultra-marathons.

In our discussion, we talk about how one can cycle through all of the “hats” they have to wear in a start-up or non-profit and some actionable tips and tricks you can take today to start raising funds for a cause you believe in.

Rachel goes into detail on what hospice is and is not, with the intention to bring light to the important work that hospice workers engage in, and the impact it makes on those near the end of life and their families.

In this episode, we explore the philosophical conundrum of identity through the lens of Theseus's ship, which gradually transforms from wood to metal over time. As pieces are replaced, questions arise: When does the ship cease to be the same ship?

The focus shifts from the physical changes to the underlying reasons driving them. Theseus's intentions and the ship's purpose become central, highlighting the importance of alignment with one's goals.

Drawing parallels to personal growth, we examine how individuals evolve while retaining their core identity. Embracing change and understanding one's values are emphasized as essential for navigating life's challenges.
