Ever wondered how sobering your nonprofit's gala speach should be?

When Richard Schoeberl, the US team Lead for Hope for Justice, speaks at an event, he doesn't view at it as entertainment. He wants people to leave with a better grasp of a horrendous crime of human trafficking.

He recently was in Iowa to speak at their fundraiser. Some audience members were crying, they were so moved by the stories he shared of individuals — young girls, older women, and others — who had been enslaved.

In this podcast, Host Mackenzie Walters talks with Richard about:

• How the "Hollywood version" of trafficking isn't accurate
• How the nonprofit helps transforms people from victims to survivors
• How he decides which stories to share at different events
• How he protects survivors when sharing their story publicly
• Why he seeks out speaking events that touch a broad spectrum of the community
