Innovation thrives when it’s aligned with personal vocation.

In this episode, Sara Meslow, founder and executive director of Camp Odayin, shares her journey of creating a space for children with heart disease to experience the transformational power of camp. What began with her own lived experience as a heart patient became something she couldn’t ignore, a deep sense that something needed to exist and that she was the one meant to build it.

What followed wasn’t just the creation of a camp. It was the creation of a community shaped by connection, belonging, and a shared understanding of what it means to navigate life with heart disease.

Sara’s story is a testament to what happens when purpose, experience, and action come together. It’s a reminder that meaningful innovation doesn’t always start with strategy, but with paying attention to what’s on your heart and having the courage to act on it.
