In 2020, Emily Landers lost her baby 15 weeks into her pregnancy and left the hospital empty-handed. The next morning, she woke up with an idea to help other moms going through the same thing. In this episode, Emily shares the story behind “A Little Something, A Lot of Love,” the Wisconsin nonprofit she founded. Their handmade care packages, aka "Joy Bombs" have now reached nearly 1,500 families. It’s a tender conversation about grief, why pregnancy loss is a real loss, and how even something small can make someone feel seen.

You don’t need money or power to start a movement. In this Shop Talk, Bill and Alex break down Malcolm Gladwell’s three types of people who make ideas spread - mavens, connectors, and salesmen - and how a small group with one of each can move the needle on any issue in your community. Figure out which one you are, find the other two, and get to work.

In this episode, Jason Janz shares why he believes poverty is solvable and how his organization CrossPurpose helps people move from poverty to prosperity. This is a conversation about dignity, opportunity, and what it really takes to help someone climb out instead of just making poverty more comfortable. If you’ve ever thought poverty was too big a problem to actually solve, this episode will challenge that belief.
