Today’s guest on the WONDER podcast is Lorenzo Ward, Assistant Coach and Defensive Coordinator at University of Tennessee Chattanooga. Deirdre Catlett first met Coach Ward last year at her family's apartment complex, where they became friends. He understands the importance (and power) of encouragement and is a great example of how the small things in life can help so many people. Creating change doesn’t have to be a Herculean act. Some of the most profound change comes from people's commitment to CONSISTENTLY show up in the simple acts of kindness.

This conversation between Sydney and Coach Ward is short and sweet. Just like the message. Coach Ward’s example is one to follow as people collectively work to create a culture of change in various communities.
