In this episode of The Ripple Effect Project, Tim Roper and cohost John Patch sit down with Liz Brewer, CEO of Angel Foundation FL.

Liz shares the deeply personal story of losing her father to cancer 20 years ago and how that experience inspired her to create a mission focused on helping families facing cancer and other catastrophic events.

Through the Angel Program, families are connected with businesses, individuals, and community resources that can help meet practical needs and provide financial support during times of crisis.

Liz talks about the families who have been impacted, the businesses and individuals who have stepped up as Angels, the role of faith in her work, and her vision to see an Angel Program in every community.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that we don't have to do something huge to make a difference. Sometimes it starts with simply seeing someone who needs help and asking, "What can I do?"

What happens when we combine relationships, data, strategy, and AI to rethink the way philanthropy works?

In this special episode of The Ripple Effect Project, Tim Roper sits down with Anthony Jarrard, founder of 501c3Me Non-Profit Solutions, to explore the changing world of philanthropy and what Anthony calls “philanthropy intelligence.”

Anthony brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With experience in nonprofit strategy, fundraising, membership growth, and organizational development, he understands the challenges nonprofits face when trying to communicate their value and demonstrate impact. He also brings the perspective of the funder, asking how donors and philanthropic organizations can make more informed decisions about where their resources can create the greatest impact.

Tim and Anthony talk about the art of the approach, the importance of relationships between nonprofits and funders, what nonprofits often misunderstand about philanthropy, and why data and measurable outcomes are becoming increasingly important.

They also explore Anthony’s work developing an AI driven platform designed to help funders evaluate nonprofit opportunities and better align resources with measurable outcomes.

Can technology make philanthropy smarter without making it less human? Can better information actually lead to stronger relationships and greater community impact?

Those are just some of the questions explored in this conversation.

This is a special episode recorded to accommodate Anthony’s schedule, so John Patch is sitting this one out. Tim also takes a moment to recognize John and Miingl for their continued support of The Ripple Effect Project.

In this episode of The Ripple Effect Project, cohosts John Patch and Tim Roper sit down with Pastor Jason Wells, founder of Mechanics of Faith, for a conversation about faith, service, second chances, and using your skills to make a difference.

Jason shares the story behind Mechanics of Faith and how a passion for working on vehicles has become a way to serve people in need. Through vehicle repairs, community service, support for veterans, and opportunities to help people rebuild their lives, Mechanics of Faith is creating meaningful connections and showing what can happen when we use what we know to help someone else.

We talk about faith in action, the importance of serving others, and how giving someone a second chance can change the direction of their life. Jason also shares how Mechanics of Faith provides opportunities for people in recovery to learn automotive skills and build a path toward a better future.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that we all have something we can give. Sometimes it is money. Sometimes it is time. Sometimes it is simply a skill we already have.

Join John and Tim as they talk with Jason Wells about faith, service, community, and the ripple effect that happens when we choose to help others.

In this episode of The Ripple Effect Project, cohosts John Patch and Tim Roper sit down with Christen Mitchell, the voice behind Stop Being a Bully, for an important conversation about bullying, kindness, connection, and the impact we can have on the people around us.

Christen shares her passion for helping people recognize the effects of bullying and encouraging others to stand up, speak out, and make a difference. We talk about the importance of creating safe and supportive environments, looking out for one another, and understanding that even small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.

Bullying affects more than just the person being targeted. It can impact families, friendships, schools, workplaces, and entire communities. Christen reminds us that we all have a role to play in creating a culture where people feel seen, valued, and supported.

Join John and Tim for a meaningful conversation about how one person, one conversation, or one decision to stand up for someone else can create a ripple that reaches much further than we realize.

One person can create a ripple. That ripple can change a family, a neighborhood, and eventually a community.

In our very first episode of The Ripple Effect Project, we sit down with our friend Ryan Wilson from Team Trust Productions for a conversation about trust, relationships, resilience, and the impact one person can have on others.

Ryan shares his personal story, including living with brittle bone disease, and how his experiences have shaped the way he looks at relationships, leadership, and the importance of trusting the people around us.

We talk about what it really means to build trust, why meaningful relationships matter, and how the connections we make can create opportunities and positive change far beyond what we may ever see.

This conversation is a great reminder that our circumstances do not have to define our impact. Sometimes the biggest ripple starts with simply being willing to connect with another person.

Join cohosts John Patch and Tim Roper for this inspiring conversation with Ryan Wilson and Team Trust Productions as we begin our journey to discover the people creating ripples in their communities.
