As Sunny Change and his siblings navigated the complexities of grief and healing, they realized that their experiences were not unique and that there were many people out there who had similar stories to share. They decided to use their platform to amplify these voices and create a safe space for listeners to explore their own traumas and healing journeys.One of the things that set the Three Siblings Podcast apart is its approach to storytelling. Rather than focusing solely on the events themselves, they delve deeper into the emotions and thought processes that accompany them. This allows them to create a more nuanced and empathetic picture of what it means to deal with trauma and loss.Through their conversations, they also explore the larger social and cultural forces at play in the way we deal with grief and trauma. They confront the stereotypes and stigmas that often surround these issues and challenge listeners to rethink their own assumptions.Ultimately, Three Siblings is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of storytelling in the healing process. It offers a space for listeners to connect with others who have gone through similar experiences and to feel less alone in their struggles.If you're looking for a podcast that will make you think deeply about the complexities of the human experience, Three Siblings is definitely worth checking out.Key Topics:· The back story of growing up (01:02)· Inspiration for the podcast and feedback (05:16)· Increased access to mental health (13:52)· Benefits of working on the podcast for mental health and personal growth (21:25)· Plans to discuss racism and advocacy (28:20)· Taking a leap of faith to start a podcast (29:11)Website link: Three Siblings PodcastPodcast Links:· Apple· Google· SpotifyCharity: Dream and a FutureDonation: Donate NowSocial Links· YouTube· TikTok· Twitter· Instagram Thanks for Listening!

Have you ever said you were ok when you were hurting?   At some point, we have all said we were ok when something wasn't right. It is the next thing we do after that matters. Did we continue lying to ourselves, or did we let someone know or get help?   Today we are talking with Erik DaRosa and Marc Fernandes, who have different mental health stories. Still, they both found relief in finding a way through it together. During the peak of the pandemic, they launched the podcast From Survivor to Thriver to help lower the stigma around mental health so everyone can feel they have the confidence to say, “I am not ok.”  Key Topics: ·     The beginning (01:51) ·     Normalizing Conversations around mental health (07:46) ·     Dealing with the capacity issue in the system to get treatment (12:40) ·     What doors did having a podcast open up (17:41) ·     What advice would you give to open up doors beyond the podcast (21:52) ·     What makes The Scared Cycle the charity of choice today (28:04) Website link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043860?fbclid=IwAR3YKNnW-1rGiAQ3Yz6P4iOdoaBOyJY-Ia9FG2NlTLbZ440o-3EUyjuKdKg (From Survivor to Thriver) Podcast Links: ·     https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043860?fbclid=IwAR3YKNnW-1rGiAQ3Yz6P4iOdoaBOyJY-Ia9FG2NlTLbZ440o-3EUyjuKdKg (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8yMDQzODYwLnJzcw== (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ki6AuWRD57kEVcSuFVwQK (Spotify) Charity: https://thesacredcycle.org/ (The Scared Cycle) Donation: Make a https://thesacredcycle.org/donate/ (donation) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/company/from-survivor-to-thriver/?viewAsMember=true (LinkedIn) ·     https://www.facebook.com/brushcreekthrivers/ (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/brushcreekthrivers/ (Instagram) Thanks for Listening!

Could your book be a podcast? Today we are talking with Sandy Ciaramitaro, who did just that with her children's series. In this non-traditional way of starting a podcast, she found success by creating follow-on content that kept the younger readers between the age of 5-12 engaged in becoming a good egg. This path had some challenges because parents are the pathway to the kids, but it has worked, and her foundation, The Good Egg Foundation, has come alongside the podcast supporting other non-profits creating good eggs.

Did you know that 1/10 people in the world have a genetic disorder? Today we are talking with Kira Dineen, who started podcasting in high school as a project. Ten years later, it is still going and has evolved, connecting Geneticists and people affected by rare diseases.  Most people live their life like any other normal human being. Still, a few are born with rare diseases that will impact them for the rest of their lives or, in some cases, will be with them for the rest of their lives.   We have had a few causes on the show that highlighted specific diseases. Still, as Kiri explains, the field of genetics is evolving every day. Therefore, her podcast has become a tool for her and the audience to stay updated on the community.

When Roe vs Wade was overturned, did you wonder how you could help? "Every podcaster has a voice" is the common language in the industry, but what happens when the voices combine to advocate for change? That is precisely what Arielle did with the recent Roe vs. Wade overturned issue. She posted a call to action on Twitter which exploded into people rallying around the effort and offering to play a consistent host read ad at the beginning of their episodes. It's a simple but powerful way where we collectively can influence a topic. But, as Arielle shares, this is just the beginning, and future causes will be added as the idea expands. Key Topics: ·     What is the call to action you have asked podcasters to do (3:33) ·     What were the expectations going into this idea (9:18) ·     What pushback from the effort has there been since it started (13:05) ·     How could others jump on board and help support other efforts (16:27) ·     What does the future look like for Podcast activism (19:06) ·     If a podcaster wants to support a future endeavor, where is the best place to connect (23:03) https://docs.google.com/document/d/%201JsnhYIIo6dnHSx_XKVM6jQGMPGc81uzs9yBXAQQFtl0/%20edit#heading=h.tynmc0hb14se (Host Read Ads Document) https://docs.google.com/document/d/159pEWaavC5iDpP5FESH4SRUAcgddm_gO2rc-FHk4TY4/edit (Ad Campaign Planning Document) https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/28/23186432/abortion-roe-scotus-howard-stern-my-favorite-murder-podcast (Article on The Verge.com) https://twitter.com/arithisandthat/status/1540360240591319040 (Tweet that started the movement) https://www.podvoices.help/contact (Podvoices Contact Page) Website link: (https://www.podvoices.help/ (https://www.podvoices.help/)) Social Links https://www.linkedin.com/in/arielle-nissenblatt-90348356/ (Community Manager at Squadcast) https://www.earbudspodcastcollective.org/ (Founder of Ear Buds Collective) https://twitter.com/%20%20soundsprofnews (CO-Host of the Sounds Profitable News Podcast) https://www.getrevue.co/%20%20profile/ariellenissenblatt?via=twitter-profile (This and That With Arielle Nissenblatt Newsletter) Thanks for Listening!

Have you ever been in a situation that didn't have a way out? Today we are talking with Andrew Pledger, and his story of leaving the religion he grew up in will make you see the faith differently. Andrew has found power in his story and in sharing other stories for people to share their stories of abuse and religious Trauma in various religions.

We don't know what we don't know.  Today we are talking with Rachel Bernstein about cults and stories of healing. It's a dark world that most know little about, and most won't until it hits home. But, as we discuss today, research into the topic is just getting started on the physiology of influence and manipulation.  With every episode, perspective is a powerful tool to influence how you see and interact with the world, even when stories are hard to hear or imagine. Those stories will shape and leave you with a lasting feeling and empathy towards others.

Is your money working for you, or are you working for it? As Kriti tells us in this episode, there is a shortfall by schools to teach adequate financial literacy information in schools. Growing up, it simply wasn't taught in her schools, and it wasn't until she bought a home that she started to see the large world of money for what it is.  The WhyFi Matters podcast is an excellent example of a niched podcast focused on a specific demographic and being the solution to that problem.  If you are thinking of just getting started or looking to niche down more, this episode will help you with the issues that you might be overlooking that are waiting for a solution. Key Topics: ·     What made financial literacy the focus of your work (1:25) ·     What kind of background did you have growing up with financial literacy (3:01) ·     How did you go about targeting your peers to gain listeners for the podcast (5:32) ·     How have current events shaped the content on the podcast (8:49) ·     How has short-form video content impacted the content creation process (10:31) ·     How would you recommend driving traffic to your podcast (11:37) ·     Advice to someone wanting to start a podcast (15:52) Website link: (https://www.whyfimatters.com/ (https://www.whyfimatters.com)/) Podcast Links: ·     https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whyfi-matter%24/id1506529505 (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS85Nzc4NDUucnNz (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/5WKD01xvtaT3TyXvzvCNHV (Spotify) Charity: https://www.choosefifoundation.org/ (Choose Fi Foundation ) Donation: https://www.choosefifoundation.org/donate (Link) Social Links ·     https://twitter.com/WhyfiMatters (Twitter) ·     https://business.facebook.com/whyfimatters1/ (Facebook)

Have you struggled to pay yourself a salary as a non-profit? As a non-profit, you get so focused on helping the cause you are concentrated on that your needs become the least of your problems. Add on top of that any guilt you might feel paying yourself through the organization. Our guest today, John Stange, was in a similar boat with the church and was close to having to close up his church. Until he found a path in podcasting that helped him generate revenue and remove the pressure of having a salary come from the church, it let the church focus on immediate payables and get through any hard times it was going through.  The story today will inspire, make you think differently, and open up some news doors you might not have considered.  https://www.platformlaunchers.com/ (Platform Launchers) Key Topics: ·     How does a Paster find himself having a podcast (1:18) ·     What made the medium of podcasting the right fit for you (4:40) ·     What early lessons did you take away from getting started (6:06)) ·     How did you decide to pivot podcasts (7:03) ·     How do you target local and national audiences (8:20) ·     The significant change in year three and made the podcast take-off (10:07) ·     How the podcast took the pressure off the non-profit to pay him a salary (10:41) ·     What advice would you share with folks just getting started (13:21) Website link: https://desirejesus.com/ (https://desirejesus.com/) Podcast Links: ·     https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dwell-on-these-things/id1180352948 (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbmZvcm1hbGJpYmxlc3R1ZHkucG9kYmVhbi5jb20vZmVlZC8?sa=X&ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwiY6qjF0u70AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQEw (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/1RxufTkYJyI6qn8e2n0qes?si=d118d027ff044b43 (Spotify) Charity: https://corecreek.com/ (Core Creek Community Church) Donation: https://corecreek.com/give (Link) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnstange/ (LinkedIn) ·     https://twitter.com/pastorstange (Twitter) ·     https://www.facebook.com/author.john.stange (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/pastorjohnstange/ (Instagram) Thanks for Listening!

What would it feel like not knowing? For most of our life, we always get to know what's wrong, how to fix it, and what comes next. As we hear today, that is not always the case when it comes to diseases and for many people, they live life, not knowing what's wrong or how long they have.  Our guest Kristine opens up about her story of feeling alone and a passion that came from it to find things in common within the rare disease community to help people feel they are not alone.

Purpose can come from anywhere. We often think of purpose as something that comes from something you love, but more often than not, purpose comes from the hard things in life. For example, today we are talking with Mike Graglia, who found a purpose through the struggle of being a child's parent with SYNGAP1. A rare disease where a specific protein is not created that is essential for nerve growth. It is so rare that it wasn't recognized in humans until 2009.  Mike knew that information would be the key to advancing his and the medical community's understanding of this disease. So he started the non-profit SynGAP Research Fund to advance the research and treatments available for people with SynGAP1. His podcast, the SYNGAP10, is that purpose coming to life in a big way by providing listeners with the latest news each week in the community.  Key Topics: ·     How did SYNGAP1 become a part of your life (1:06) ·     What are some issues with diagnosing the disease (2:42) ·     What challenges did Mike have starting a non-profit (4:20) ·     What has been some of the early impacts that foundation as had (6:33) ·     How did adding a podcast become the right next step for the foundation (8:54) ·     In what ways do you see the current structure of the podcast evolving (14:57) ·     Deciding if a daily briefing podcast is a right fit for your cause (16:06) Website: https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/syngap10-podcast (Link) Podcast Links: ·     https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/syngap10-weekly-10-minute-updates-on-syngap1-video/id1560389818 (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81NDhhMTUwYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/2qhQwMqDjflUAboaLoXjpi?si=e5a47796d4b942d5 (Spotify) Charity: SynGAP Research Fund (https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/ (website)) Donation: https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/donate/donate (link) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/company/curesyngap1/ (LinkedIn) ·     https://twitter.com/cureSYNGAP1 (Twitter) ·     https://www.facebook.com/cureSYNGAP1 (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/curesyngap1/ (Instagram) ·     https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtnPWPpqouMA_1UGOyu4W6A?sub_confirmation=1 (YouTube)  Thanks for Listening!

What is hard to get back once it's lost? Today's guest, Jennifer Lee, shares how she had the feeling of safety chattered in a robbery. It was a long journey of almost two years before she could begin the process of rebuilding it. We often take that feeling for granted, whether it be in our home or out in public; as she says, it's hard to explain what it feels like. But that is what her stories all have in common. They all know that feeling and can relate, knowing they are not alone.   Jennifer's podcast, I Need Blue, shares stories from robbery to domestic violence to understanding self-defense. She explores any topic which causes fear and share resources to overcome the trauma. These stories are also coupled with a supportive law enforcement format. Key Topics: Finding a deeper purpose in her story (1:21) Healing through trauma on the other side (10:45) Having your sense of safety chattered (14:43) You don't need to be a fan of listening to podcasts to start (16:30) Starting with nothing and getting to launch (18:10) Using non-traditional routes to find stories (21:47)  What does Police Blue Nation do as a non-profit (25:30) Advice for anyone looking to start a podcast (27:12) Website link: (https://ineedblue.net/) Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-need-blue/id1567450935 (Apple) Google https://open.spotify.com/show/62R7ZEcZIp4gqtCVxgqRsv?si=eSY0phRUQN-bOlXrKPNUfg (Spotify) Charity: Police Blue Nation (http://policebluenation.org/) Donation: http://policebluenation.org/index.php/donate.html (Link) Social Links https://www.facebook.com/110173334559864 (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/ineedbluepodcast/ (Instagram) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1q8SfA_hEXRJ4EaizlW8Q (YouTube) Thanks for Listening!

Have you ever heard a story and said that couldn't happen to me? As a culture, we love shows like Law and Order, Criminal Minds, NCIS, but we typically live our lives every day that can't happen in real life. Today's guest Bill Mitchel shares his story about the murder of his daughter following her graduation from college. He has taken this tragedy and made it his message to help give others the tools, resources, and support to be aware of before it happens.   He never expected his family to change in such a drastic way that would redefine it forever. You don't ever fully move past the loss of a child, let alone when they are murdered.   Book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734253703/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (When Dating Hurts by Bill Mitchell) Key Topics: ïHow losing his daughter changed everything (1:11) ïDating Violence and how common is it (4:49) ïHow do you compelling someone to listen before it happens (7:54) ïWhat made podcasting the right next step (9:44) ïWhat problems did you have to get a podcast started (11:36) ïWhat goal did you think podcasting could do that a book can't (14:40) ïHow do you protect someone's story that might not be ready to be named (16:29) ïWhat advice do you have for parents before tragedy might strike (18:00) Website https://www.whendatinghurts.com/ (link) Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-dating-hurts/id1542478530?i=1000500624884 (Apple) https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80MTdhNGExOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw (Google) Spotify Charity: When Dating Hurts  Donation: https://www.patreon.com/WhenDatingHurts?fan_landing=true (link) Social Links http://www.linkedin.com/in/billmitchellcd?_mSplash=1 (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/Bill_Mitchell (Twitter) https://www.facebook.com/bill.mitchell.79230 (Facebook) Thanks for Listening!

How many children scream for help but have no one to help? It is easy to go about our daily lives and isolate ourselves from the evil in our world, but that doesn't mean it isn't present. Today, Asia Raine talks about how her podcast Letters to the People are these complex stories of trauma from dark places where children's cries go unheard.  Sharing these episodes and stories is one of the reasons Causepods was founded because, like a TED talk where we share ideas, it is just as important to hear all the stories.   A lesson we can all take away from this episode is the power of one person seeing, hearing, and understanding someone. It is often the permission to let go of what was and fully embrace the life that could be.   Key Topics: What is the genesis moment for sharing stories around trauma (1:37) How to know if a story is made up (7:11) How did you overcome the idea of your story becoming visible in the community (14:14) What has been the impact from listeners (20:23) What makes SCSA the charity of focus for today's episode (25:40)  Website link: https://letterstothepeople.com/ Podcast Links: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kZwLzYhMwqryUxkUSdCxf?si=cveH7fsRQBaCPAw4x9znIw&dl_branch=1 (Spotify) Charity: https://www.scsaorg.org/ (Survivors of Childhood Sex Abuse (SCSA)) Donation: https://www.scsaorg.org/donate (Link) Social Links https://www.facebook.com/voice.for.transformation/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/letters.to.the.people.podcast/ (Instagram) Thanks for Listening!

How connected locally are you? We often hear of a podcast with a National or International focus, but today's guest Ryan Sullivan shares with us how he focused on local and how telling the stories of local artists has been a unique project for him. As a podcast, we record audio, share it, and move on typically.

How do you know when something is wrong? This can be a tricky question to answer and even more problematic when the wounds may be invisible. Our guest today, Bella Paige, shares her story of having concussions throughout her life, how that affected her, and how did it leave her feelings.  Through the time we have been doing CausePods, a common theme of “I just felt like the only one” has been the genesis for creating a podcast to fight that thought and remove the stigma related to a topic.  The feeling of community around a niche group of people can be powerful, and the Post Concussion Podcast is no exception. Key Topics: Experiencing concussions in life from an early age (1:15) What helped Bella learn that concussions were playing a significant role in her life (02:00) What was the healing experience like, and what does life look like today (2:45) Dealing the wounds be invisible to people who meet you (3:51) How has adventure continued to play a role in Bella’s life (5:33) Where did the idea for a podcast come from (7:00) Deciding on the proper format for the podcast (8:49) The challenges faced starting a podcast (12:26) What is the story behind the charity The Concussion Legacy Foundation (13:03) Advice to someone who is looking to start a cause pod (14:24) Website link: https://www.postconcussioninc.com/podcast Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-post-concussion-podcast-life-after-a-brain-injury/id1548750632 (Apple) https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNTg5NjYyLnJzcw (Google) https://open.spotify.com/show/4CI1YYPztMpB8Jz8TKFCY7?si=-7wKm-ZfS2i8VTr1FOkXYw (Spotify) Charity: https://concussionfoundation.org/ (Concussion Legacy Foundation ) Donation: https://www.classy.org/give/312896/#!/donation/checkout?

Ever felt lonely? Why is it that people get lonely? Why do we not have a word for the opposite of loneliness? Can we become un-lonely? These questions and more were the questions that sparked a documentary-style podcast series about loneliness. As a society, we often don't talk about loneliness, but we almost all can find a time in our lives where we felt it but did have the courage to say it. When the world has never been more connected digitally, we are also at a crossroads where we also have never felt more disconnected. Key Topics: How a couple of transplanted Brits living in NYC thought of the idea (1:26) Where does loneliness hit us the hardest (5:22) How does loneliness fit into the remote work culture we are in now (8:21) Can you be surrounded by people and still feel lonely (10:59) How did the project find a medium within podcasting (12:46) What challenges were there launching a podcast mini-series (14:58) If you started over, what would you do differently (18:12) What makes Art and Healing the charity of choices for this episode (20:47) What advice would you give to someone just getting started (22:58) Website link: www.theconnectery.com Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1549971538 (Apple): https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vaXMtYW55Ym9keS1vdXQtdGhlcmUv?sa=X&ved=0CBUQ27cFahcKEwjwtaTWkpjvAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ (Google) https://open.spotify.com/show/4hHXAAXITeWn1XkeBsrJ9S?

How do you deal with adversity? Adversity is a hard thing, it has many colors, shapes, and sizes, but the common thread among those who rise about it is they persevere. They find a way despite the challenges they are faced.  Scott from the Living Adaptive podcast shares stories of perseverance and how people find a way. His guests learned to ask questions like, what does this make possible in my life, what can I learn from this, is their a silver lining.  Hope is a powerful tool in life, and the Living Adaptive podcast does some fantastic work inspiring a better way through life.

Do you consider yourself as having a disability? This episode of Causepods highlights a unique perspective, one where we take a look at the question "do you have a disability?" Kurt presents a view that, typically, most people will not identify as someone who has a disability unless you receive a rating from the government.  To identify as someone with a disability means you have less abilities than others. Kurt's podcast takes that idea of less, flips it on its head, and says; let's not focus on what you don't have, but let's focus on what we do have.  We all have abilities, and we all have disabilities that are less great than others. Not everyone has the ability to make a slam dunk in basketball, but we don't choose to label ourselves as disabled. We just simply say we are not at good.  An episode rich in perspective, insights, hope for a better way of thinking on a globally important topic.  Key Topics: What is the back story in starting a podcast on the issue of disability (1:14) How to reframe the question, "do you have a disability?" (3:42) Being the voice for a cause that you don't identify as (5:45 ) How did a 15-year journey lead up to starting this podcast (7:27) Why is empathy towards each other so hard as a society (10:08) Where does someone begin to create change on such a challenging issue to move the needle (13:21) When it came to podcasting, what compelled Kurt to get the message out (15:56) What struggles did Kurt have to overcome to get his podcast launched (18:00) Looking back, what are the memorable moments of leading this cause (21:35) What made The Onward and Upward Foundation the charity of choice for this episode (23:43) For others looking to start a cause-focused podcast, what is Kurt's advice to them (27:40) Website link: https://www.transformupodcasts.com/show/the-world-of-ability-podcast-show/ (https://www.transformupodcasts.com/show/the-world-of-ability-podcast-show/) Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1533833388 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1533833388) Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDUyMDYwMy9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDUyMDYwMy9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4kqzSFmuGrvhc4CGwftgFt (https://open.spotify.com/show/4kqzSFmuGrvhc4CGwftgFt) Charity: The Onward and Upward Foundation (https://onwardandupwardfoundation.org/ (https://onwardandupwardfoundation.org/)) Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=dkfnB58kqy1fKE7qBIhGvNzk5sBArSgeRYvcWlZsrOczyvCmr_8KId7hdfTOkH6-5ditIcZUtlCuOXbc (https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=dkfnB58kqy1fKE7qBIhGvNzk5sBArSgeRYvcWlZsrOczyvCmr_8KId7hdfTOkH6-5ditIcZUtlCuOXbc) Social Links LinkedIn Company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/transform-u-media-broadcast-network/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/transform-u-media-broadcast-network/) Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heykurt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abilitynow (https://www.facebook.com/abilitynow) | https://www.facebook.com/roskopfs (https://www.facebook.com/roskopfs) Thanks for Listening!

Do you know someone touched by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder? We have learned over the years here at CausePods that so many causes exist under the fabric of society without ever seeing mainstream attention.  This is the case with our interview with Natalie Vecchione from the FASD Hope podcast, where she highlights stories of hope for parents who may just be beginning to face this diagnosis or maybe have worked through it alone for years.  Natalie teaches us to use our stories and help share others' stories to help build bonds of connection, so that cause advocates know they are not alone.  Key Topics: What is FASD, and what makes this cause important (1:14) What are some of the subtle symptoms of FASD (4:43) How much of FASD happens to regular people who just make a mistake (7:54) How did you get started making this your cause of choice to support (12:40) Where did Natalie learn her way around podcasting that helped her launch FASD Hope (16:19) What were some of the biggest lessons learned that helped make FASD Hope easier to launch (17:55) What made Proof Alliance her charity of choice to support with this episode (21:00) For anyone launching a cause-based podcast, what is your advice to them (23:29) Resources: https://ncfasdinformed.org/ (https://ncfasdinformed.org/) https://fascets.org/ (https://fascets.org/) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0972953205/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fasdhope-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0972953205&linkId=86ded301f82666cf202c8ba6b874591a (Book) – Trying Differently Rather Than Harder by Diane Malbin Website link: http://www.fasdhope.com/ Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fasd-hope/ (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fasd-hope/) Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2Zhc2Rob3BlL2ZlZWQueG1s (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2Zhc2Rob3BlL2ZlZWQueG1s) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4E0022tclozCpY1gOtpXAG?si=7WcY7NwzQ0q2KFDRjown6g Charity: Pr%F Alliance (https://www.proofalliance.org/ (https://www.proofalliance.org/)) Donation: https://www.proofalliance.org/donate/ Social Links Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/fasdhope1/ (https://www.pinterest.com/fasdhope1/) Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/fasdhope1/ (https://m.facebook.com/fasdhope1/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fasdhope/ (https://www.instagram.com/fasdhope/) Thanks for Listening!

Do you believe a single moment can bring about significant change? In today’s episode with Rick Friedman, he shares how finding a simple book sparked a passion for bringing a voice to climate change and the issues facing our planet.  Many CausePods are born from a single moment of inspiration where a few months in the rearview mirror, you can easily say that was a great 90-degree turn in a new direction, and it was a simple moment that started it. The Breath of Fresh Earth podcast brings a creative format to his podcast to keep people engaged in the episode.  Creating a podcast that takes full use of the production process to create something unique each time is a technique that is often overlooked.  Like the book that influenced Rick, he hopes the episode sparks a listener to see climate change a little bit differently.        Key Topics: How did Rick settle on a particular format, and where did the idea for the show come from (1:30) How does he use his podcast to highlight the work that has already been done for climate change (4:04) Why does climate change get a bad wrap (8:36) Where did he first get into the fight against climate change (10:51) What lessons did Rick learn while launching the show (12:50) What is the biggest lesson for Rick trying to grow his podcast during uncertain times (14:21) What does the Climate Reality Project do (15:55) What advice does Rick have for someone looking to start a Cause based Podcast (18:27) Website link: https://abreathoffreshearth.captivate.fm/ Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/feed/id1498287880?at=11lo6V&ct=podnews_podcast Google: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vYWJyZWF0aG9mZnJlc2hlYXJ0aC8= Spotify: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vYWJyZWF0aG9mZnJlc2hlYXJ0aC8= Social Links Twitter: https://twitter.com/bofepodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/climatereality (https://twitter.com/climatereality) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/richard.friedman.566 Instagram: https://instagram.com/friedman5744 Charity Name: The Climate Reality Project Charity Website: https://www.climaterealityproject.org/donate/donate-climate-reality-project?utm_segment=GeneralWebHomepageButton Thanks for Listening!

Today we chat with Jordan McConnell who is the co-host and founder of the Crohn's Veteran Podcast.  Like many of our guests who start a cause-based podcast, it is a calling they feel to lead, and he understands that his and the other co-hosts story can help others.  The premise for the podcast is to simply bring awareness and bring like hearted stories of others who live with Crohn’s diseases and other irritable bowel syndromes related illness.   The podcast is just getting started with fifteen episodes published and Jordan opens up about the lessons learned already and why Twitch and YouTube was the right platform to branch out on.  Community around his cause is something they are closely working on creating with each new episode and bringing people together.   Like many foundations fundraising during a COVID-19 area has changed and evolved, and he talks about how the Cure for Colitis foundation has had to evolve to keep the mission alive.  Key Topics: ·      Why start a podcast about Crohn’s Disease?  (1:24) ·      Why doing a co-host model made sense for them? (3:20) ·      What does it mean to be a Crohn’s Veteran?  ( 5:22) ·      Benefits of being on Twitch and YouTube as a podcaster? (8:50) ·      What struggles were faced when first getting started?

Today on the show we have Paul Zelizer, the creator of The Awarepreneurs Podcast. Paul is committed to be a social entrepreneur, encouraging others to create for profit business that help foster social change.  Paul worked with the Tewa Women United Organization for 15 years and saw a pattern of for-profit business thriving and non-profits struggling and wondered if there was a better way.  Taking what he has learned running a non-profit and now multiple businesses, he now runs a small mastermind community of social entrepreneurs helping them grow businesses that make real social impact in communities around the world.  He points to a current members story and highlights how Nokiva is able to reimagine selling hand-crafted items from around the world. Our conversation transitions into how leveraging a podcast as his featured marketing channel was the right approach to scale his community and ultimately lead to his ability to help and serve more people.  Paul like most podcasters getting started didn’t know a lot about the medium, tools, or strategies, but trusting the process allowed him to find his footing and voice. The podcast now publishes two episodes per week enabling them to tell more stories and inspire more social entrepreneurs to make an impact. Key Topics:  Paul’s realization on how to affect change withing a community (1:46) What is social entrepreneur ship (3:04) What is Awarepreneurs (4:00)  Case Study of a social impact Entrepreneur https://www.novica.com/ (https://www.novica.com/)) (5:47)  Why launching a podcast was the right idea to spread the message (7:52) How to make sure your podcast guesting has impact on your business (10:45) Where did Paul’s story begin and how did it lead to Awareprenuerus (12:20) What were the biggest hurdles Paul faced getting his podcast started (13:08) What advice Paul would give for someone considering starting a cause-based podcast (14:10) Why having a featured marketing channel is a key must for any entrepreneur running a business today (18:40) Website link: https://www.awarepreneurs.com/podcast (https://www.awarepreneurs.com/podcast) Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/awarepreneurs/id1232306106 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/awarepreneurs/id1232306106?mt=2&app=podcast) Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hd2FyZXByZW5ldXJzLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hd2FyZXByZW5ldXJzLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4MZcSXtqDGENW1RNUJntWD?si=V7nsgZk6SmaadpiAZg9TQg Social Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulzelizer Twitter: https://twitter.com/PaulZelizer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/awarepreneurs/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulzelizer/ Charity Link            Website: http://tewawomenunited.org/            Donation: https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/ExpressDonation.aspx?ORGID2=85-0480836&vlrStratCode=dy%2bCxT%2bjF%2fLLfHHW73zR4VYsdY2yuR71wy5Q%2bKwp8ZVZgip7oFdp13mU3B%2flRHwm (https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/ExpressDonation.aspx?ORGID2=85-0480836&vlrStratCode=dy%2bCxT%2bjF%2fLLfHHW73zR4VYsdY2yuR71wy5Q%2bKwp8ZVZgip7oFdp13mU3B%2flRHwm) Thanks for Listening!
