In this episode Heather Henry, VP of Housing and Childcare at Aspen One, joins the Ski Moms to discuss the critical infrastructure that keeps ski communities livable for families: affordable housing and accessible childcare. Aspen One operates Aspen Snowmass (four mountains), Aspen Hospitality, and Aspen Ventures, employing over 4,000 people at peak season. The company provides 1,300 beds, housing 75% of seasonal workers but only 15% of year-round employees.

Welcome to The Joy Revolution Podcast—a space where we're not just talking about joy as a feeling, but as a radical, contagious force for good. On today's episode, I'm pumped to sit down with Vero Gomez. She's a devoted mom, a fierce advocate, and the founder of the Louise Justin Foundation. Veronica is on a mission to stand up for Spanish-speaking families who have lost loved ones to homicide—offering healing, connection, and hope exactly when their world feels most upside down. Our conversation gets real—about family, grief, immigration, and that gritty resilience that keeps us moving forward when the world feels impossible. Veronica opens up about her son Luis Justin, and how losing him absolutely reshaped her journey. Instead of letting tragedy shut her down, she's building a living, breathing legacy—one that lifts her whole community. Together, we go beyond heartbreak and talk about how the work of the foundation actually breaks new ground: in healing, forgiveness, and in building a web of support for families too often left on their own. So, if you're down for an honest, unfiltered look at finding light in the shadows—if you believe in the wild, revolutionary power of love, leadership, and togetherness—you're in the right place. Get ready for deep insights, practical wisdom, and an unshakeable reminder that joy isn't just for the easy moments. Sometimes it's the very thing that can help us remake the world. Let's dive in.

David, Lakshmi, and Erin dig into the intersection of wealth, faith, and community, particularly from the standpoint of middle-class Christians. Sparked by Lakshmi's seminary research on Christian engagement with wealth accumulation in a neoliberal capitalist system, we explored theological and practical approaches to wealth: What does it mean to have or accumulate wealth? What are the impacts of capitalism? the role of intentional Christian communities? and the balance between personal finances and larger systemic (in)justice? Can we create alternative economic systems grounded in Christian values of mutuality and relationship?Check out Lakshmi's work on communities at her Substack Dwelling Place!★ Resources/Links/References:* Wealth as Peril and Obligation by Sandra Eli Wheeler * The Principle of Maximums by Roger L.

I've been part of The Boutique Hub for more than five years, and I was so excited to welcome its founder, Ashley Alderson, to the Launch Your Box Podcast. Ashley started The Boutique Hub in 2013 to give small business owners a place to connect, learn, and grow together. Today, the Hub supports more than 100,000 small businesses. What Loyalty Really Looks Like When I asked Ashley what customer loyalty actually looks like, she didn't hesitate. It's all about building community. People want to buy from people. The more your customers feel connected to you and your brand, the more loyal they become. Ashley shared her team's approach to content creation, something she calls the VAVA Method. Viral: Is it relatable enough that someone would click, like, share, or comment? Authentic: Does it sound like a real person said it? Value: Does it help your audience by saving them time, solving a problem, or making their day better? Aspirational: Does it make them feel like they're becoming a better version of themselves? When you're running a product-based business, you can't just sell all the time. Ashley says that at any given moment, about 90% of your audience isn't ready to buy, so you need to nurture them with community-building content. Ashley suggests ratio of two-thirds soft-sell, one-third direct-sell. Sales Is a Noble Process Ashley reminded us that selling is about serving. When you connect with your audience, help them solve problems, and make their lives a little better, that's a noble thing. As subscription box owners, we have to be attached to that outcome for our subscribers. We start by building community, then we serve that community, and then we sell to that community. That's servant leadership in action. How to Build Loyalty That Lasts Ashley shared that true loyalty comes from creating an emotional reaction. Everything, from your community and marketing to post-purchase experiences, should make your customers feel something. Your subscribers should always believe the value of your box is greater than its price. As Ashley likes to say, “Cheap ain't loyal.” Be the face of your brand. Let people see you. Because at the end of the day, people want to buy from people. The Six Layers of a Sustainable Business Ashley broke down the six layers every business needs to build a strong foundation: Operations and Brand Profits and Profitability Team Sales Strategy Content Strategy Social Media Each layer works together to create a business that's stable, scalable, and ready for long-term success. The Future of Small Business Ashley sees a shift happening, away from isolation and scrolling, and back toward real human connection. People are craving community, conversation, and relationships again. And that's great news for subscription box owners, because community is what we do best. Take Action Spend time this week building connection with your audience. Share something that's relatable, real, and valuable - something that reminds your followers there's a person behind your brand.

What truly makes a community thrive and last? In this episode, I'm diving into the heart of what it takes to build something that goes beyond connection and turns into legacy. I'll share how vision, collaboration, and belonging have shaped every step of my journey—from launching Leading Lady Coaching and The Annapolis Collective to creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you're leading a business, a team, or a movement, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on your own vision and the impact you're creating through your community. As I unpack how collaboration transforms isolation into innovation, you'll hear real examples of partnerships that deepened trust, expanded networks, and sparked lasting change. Together, we'll explore how community evolves—from connection to collaboration to collective impact—and why belonging is the thread that holds it all together.

Sometimes, it begins with a pair of brothers who love good design, care deeply about their city, and want to create spaces where neighbors can gather and belong.That's the story of Joe McCallum, co-owner of Rise Over Run, who is transforming the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona, one building at a time. What began as an appreciation for mid-century modern architecture has evolved into a mission to bring new life to an overlooked community while preserving its authentic character.“Sunnyslope is such a good example of that,” Joe said. “There's been a community here that's a little removed... it's maintained a little bit of quirkiness and a little bit of its own character, and I think it deserves to be highlighted.”Joe and his brother began by purchasing a distinctive 1960 mid-century modern building at 524 West Hatcher Road. Their goal was simple: to repurpose and reimagine it as something that could anchor local energy and pride. After experimenting with a furniture showroom, they're now transforming the space into a taproom focused on Arizona-made beer and wine, complete with room for community events, art shows, and local gatherings.But Joe's vision extends beyond one building. Rise Over Run has already added another property across the street, now home to a coffee shop, art studio, and florist. Together, these spaces are becoming catalysts for a renewed sense of connection and belonging in Sunnyslope.To help fund this mission, Rise Over Run is raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Small Change, a platform that specializes in socially impactful real estate projects. This approach allows local supporters—not just accredited investors—to invest directly in the revitalization of their own neighborhood.“For many people who may not be accredited investors or may not even know that that's a thing to be, there's a way to invest via crowdfunding,” Joe explained. “It allows a broader group from the community to feel like they are part of something they're not only cheering from the sidelines, but actually supporting directly.”That's the essence of what makes Rise Over Run so special. It's not just a real estate project—it's a movement to empower community members to take part in shaping their environment. As Joe put it, it's “a way to directly support seeing that happen in this community.”You can learn more about the project—or even invest—by visiting s4g.biz/sunny, which links directly to Rise Over Run's offering on Small Change.tl;dr:Joe McCallum shared how Rise Over Run is revitalizing Sunnyslope through community-driven real estate projects.Joe explained his motivation to preserve the neighborhood's quirky identity while creating vibrant gathering spaces.He discussed Rise Over Run's regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Small Change, inviting locals to invest in their community.Joe revealed that his superpower is curiosity, which drives him to explore ideas and uncover opportunities others might miss.He encouraged listeners to nurture curiosity by staying open, following genuine interests, and challenging conventional paths.How to Develop Curiosity As a SuperpowerJoe's superpower is curiosity, a natural drive to explore, learn, and uncover hidden potential. “Curiosity,” Joe explained, “is what...led me to what I'm doing now.” His insatiable desire to “turn over stones” and “pull the thread” has fueled his career as an investment analyst and now as a real estate developer. Whether it's researching a neighborhood's history or uncovering opportunities in forgotten buildings, Joe's curiosity has been the driving force behind his success and impact.Illustrative Story:Joe's curiosity led him and his brother to Sunny Slope. They were drawn to an abandoned mid-century modern building with potential, even though it wasn't listed for sale. Through research, they uncovered the property's history and reached out to the owner, a real estate agent who hadn't pursued his plans for the property. This curiosity-driven approach enabled Joe to acquire and transform the building, setting the foundation for Rise Over Run's projects in the neighborhood.Tips for Developing Curiosity:Follow Your Interests: Pursue topics and ideas that naturally catch your attention.Avoid Prejudging Paths: Don't dismiss opportunities that don't fit the traditional mold of success.Dig Deeper: Research and explore beyond surface-level information to uncover hidden opportunities.Engage with Others: Learn from people who share your interests to expand your understanding and perspective.By following Joe McCallum's example and advice, you can make curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJoe McCallum (he/him):Co-Owner, Rise Over RunAbout Rise Over Run: Rise Over Run is an investment holding company focused on adaptive reuse and infill real estate development in the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ.
