What began as one handmade bed in a garage has grown into a global movement that has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of children. In this episode of It Happened To Me, hosts Cathy Gildenhorn and Beth Glassman speak with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit guided by the mission: “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town.” Luke shares the personal journey behind the organization, from his upbringing in small-town Idaho to building what has become the largest bed-building charity in the world. He explains what inspired him to build that first bed, what families have taught him about need and resilience, and why a safe place to sleep can profoundly affect a child's dignity, emotional well-being, physical health, and ability to thrive. The conversation also explores the ripple effects of service, the challenges of leading a rapidly growing nonprofit, and how ordinary people can create extraordinary change by responding to the needs directly in front of them.

A former “farm kid” from Kimberly, Idaho, Luke combines his background in competitive athletics and business leadership with his “Humans Helping Humans” philosophy.

Yet of his 428 career victories, he is best known for one unforgettable game when he gave Jason "J-Mac" McElwain, his team manager with autism, the opportunity to step onto the court and realize a dream.

Do our sermons actually land in the lives of the people in front of us?Do they help anxious believers, tired parents, proud leaders, compromised Christians or sceptical guests to hear, trust and obey the living Word of God?Richard Coekin says application is part of faithful preaching itself. But application has dangers, it might come not really from the text, or could be overly directive. Or we could give accurate lectures that fail to shepherd the church.Richard Coekin leads Reach UK.

What if generosity could become contagious?Millions of people have watched Bob Schober hand cash to complete strangers, pay rent for families facing eviction, surprise hardworking people with life-changing gifts, and inspire others to perform their own random acts of kindness. But behind every viral video is a man whose own life was transformed by redemption, faith, and second chances.In this inspiring conversation, Jonathan Quick sits down with Bob to explore the journey that took him from addiction, homelessness, and living out of a Volkswagen to building and selling a roofing company for more than $50 million. Instead of chasing more success, Bob discovered a greater purpose: using his resources to restore hope, encourage generosity, and prove that one act of kindness can change the course of someone's life.Together, they discuss the power of giving without expecting anything in return, why authentic kindness resonates with millions, how faith continues to guide Bob's mission, and why generosity has the power to create an unstoppable ripple effect that reaches far beyond the person receiving the gift.This episode is a reminder that changing the world doesn't always require grand gestures. Sometimes it simply starts with seeing another person, extending a helping hand, and choosing kindness when no one expects it.Check him out here: https://linktr.ee/9FigureRoofer

Order my new book - The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest - Tina Seelig has spent 27 years at Stanford teaching some of the world's most ambitious people how to see and seize opportunities. She's a neuroscientist, the executive director of Knight Hennessy Scholars, and the author of 18 books. Her TED Talk on luck has been viewed over 3.4 million times. Her newest book is called What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements. Key Learnings Tina's dad died at 99 and a half. Three weeks before his first great-grandbaby was born. He was still driving, going to three dinner parties a week, and talking to Tina every day. His curiosity was his superpower. He gave 66 lectures in his retirement community over 20 years, on topics ranging from nuclear weapons to climate change. Train yourself to be a professional noticer. When Tina's dad walked his grandkids into a new room, he'd give them a minute, then say "Shut your eyes." How many doors? Windows? What color is the carpet? Assume there's a million dollars in every room. It's up to you to find it. Opportunities are ubiquitous. You just have to look. Take the headphones off. The most powerful things happen when you engage with strangers. Standing in line. On the plane. Walking through campus. Tina sat next to a stranger named Mark on a plane. He was a publisher. He said no to her book proposal. She kept the relationship going. Years later, his editor approved the same proposal she had given Mark. Within two weeks, she had a contract. Wear something that invites conversation. A logo. A backpack from a conference. A college baseball shirt. Give the world a hook to start with you. Fortune is what happens to you. Luck requires action. Most people confuse the two and miss the chance to claim their agency. "With my luck, it's gonna rain." Reframe it: "With OUR luck, it's gonna be a beautiful sunny day." The reframe changes what you see.  Luck seldom sails solo. Most luck comes through other people. Cultivating meaningful relationships is the most underrated lucky behavior. You don't get a job. You get the keys to the building. The visible work isn't what gets you ahead. The invisible work is. Between stimulus and response is a choice. (Viktor Frankl) Within the constraints of fortune, agency is everything. "Tina, you think like a scientist." One sentence from a professor changed Tina's life. Leaders, know the weight of your words. Twenty years later, Tina wrote that professor a thank-you note. Twenty years after that, his granddaughter wrote back. They had read part of Tina's letter at his funeral. When a student made a bad decision, Tina's first instinct was to punish. She paused. Said, "Help me understand what happened." The whole community learned what empathy and humility look like in leadership. Unresolved conflict sucks the energy out of your day. Resolve it. You become taller, lighter, more open to lucky things. Oliver Greenwald sent Tina a list of 10 ways he could help her with her book. Nothing on the list was exactly what she wanted. She hired him anyway, because of the initiative. Build the sail to catch the wind. Build the ship. Your internal work. Values. Story. Goals. Recruit the crew. The people in your world. Hoist the sail. What you do every single day. Your core values are the keel of your ship. Without them, the first strong wind capsizes you. Keep a failure resume. Document what didn't work and what you'll do differently. Don't perseverate. Move on. "It's all good in the end. If it's not good, it's not the end." We're always in the middle of the story. Tina sends thank-you notes every single day. Five or ten minutes. Three or four sentences. Closes the loop. Builds the relationship. Don't end the dinner without making the next date. Most people drop the ball. Get it on the calendar before you leave. The instant you think something positive about someone, tell them. Be specific. Text. Email. Call. The instant. Tina's champagne moment: her newborn granddaughter at one year old. She just learned to turn over and looks so proud of herself. Reflection Questions What's on your failure resume right now that you haven't yet extracted the lesson from? Are you perseverating, or moving on? Whose thank-you note are you going to send today? Specific, genuine, unprompted.  Where in your life are you waiting for fortune and calling it bad luck? What is the action you've been avoiding because it requires you to put yourself out there?

He shares the moment he finally received a diagnosis, the educators who helped him reclaim his confidence, and why he now dedicates his life to ensuring no child—especially those in underserved communities—goes unnoticed or unsupported.You will hear Baraka's insights about:How early, accurate identification of dyslexia can change a child's lifeWhy students who act out or disengage may be communicating an academic struggleWhat teachers can do to create safe, empowering spaces for learners who feel defeatedHow literacy became the key that unlocked his futureAlong the way, Baraka also discusses his acting career—from ZATIMA to American Horror Story—and how his lived experience shapes the roles he chooses and the stories he tells. But at the heart of this conversation is his unwavering message: Every child deserves to be seen, supported, and believed in.This episode is a must-listen for teachers, literacy leaders, and anyone committed to helping students overcome barriers and discover their potential. Baraka's story reminds us that with the right support, every learner can rewrite their future.

Luke Mickelson is an entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, one of the fastest-growing nonprofits in the world. After years of building businesses and chasing entrepreneurial success, Luke discovered a deeper calling: helping children who didn't have beds to sleep in. What started as a simple family project turned into a global movement that has delivered hundreds of thousands of beds to children in need. In this episode, Luke shares lessons on entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, mission creep, and the surprising similarities between running a nonprofit and building a business. On this episode we talk about: How Luke transitioned from entrepreneurship into nonprofit leadership Why keeping your mission simple is critical for growth The dangers of mission creep in both nonprofits and businesses How Sleep in Heavenly Peace scaled to hundreds of chapters worldwide The realities of fundraising, nonprofit optics, and operational efficiency Top 3 Takeaways The most successful organizations stay laser-focused on solving one clear problem instead of trying to solve everything at once.

Passion-driven work becomes scalable when you create systems that allow other people to participate in the mission. Notable Quotes “I don't start a business to retire from it — I start a business to sell it.” “Mission creep can kill a business faster than anything.” “When you can make your mission the fundraising activity, you'll never starve.” Connect with Luke Mickelson: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukemickelson Other: https://shpbeds.org Website: https://lukemickelson.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

Two core elements of leadership are effective communication and creating community. AJ has done both. I can attest from taking her writing workshop and participating in her author community since. I wrote the first draft of Sustainability Simplified in her workshop.I also valued the book she co-wrote with her writing partner and podcast guest Mike Michalowicz. As you'll hear in our conversation, their podcast is one of the only ones I've listened to every episode of.I've wanted to bring her on the podcast for a long time since I learned so much from her and value participating in her community so much. If you're here to build community to change culture, I believe you can learn from AJ's journey and building her community. I see them based on honesty, integrity, doing the reps, self-awareness, and the things that many people talk about but not all do. If I'm not too direct and blunt to say so, environmentalists in particular not only lack these leadership properties, many of them shun them.AJ's homepageHer writing workshop that I took and recommend Hosted on Acast.

Every year, the last ten nights of Ramadan arrive… and many people treat Laylatul Qadr like a hopeful moment instead of a decisive one.Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) explains something in this session that shifts how you see that night completely.Laylatul Qadr carries the meaning of power and destiny. The night when what lies ahead for you begins to descend. A moment when a believer stands before Allah and asks with a level of certainty that can redirect the path of their life.In this video, Shaykh Muhammad walks through why this night carries such immense weight, how sincere Du'a can shape what comes next in your life, and why believers approach the last ten nights with urgency and expectation.He also shares practical actions to focus on during these nights, from Qur'an and prayer to the type of Du'as believers raise when they understand what Laylatul Qadr truly represents.Watch the video to hear how he explains the opportunity hidden inside this single night, and why missing it means missing a moment that can echo across your entire future.Donate to bring the power of Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef's (rA) legacy to countless lives around the world and carry forward a legacy that already changed thousands.

Most people make this big mistake...They stop expecting from Him. The hands still rise in Dua, but the heart treads lightly.That's what a tired heart does.It shrinks Duas to avoid getting hurt again. Because at times like this, hope is one disappointment away from despair.Look, you wouldn't ask if you believed nothing was possible. Allah told us He is as His servant expects Him to be. What we expect shapes what we experience.By not asking, we lose the permission to dream again.And Allah is still waiting for the Dua you stopped making.Donate to bring the power of Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef's (rA) legacy to countless lives around the world and carry forward a legacy that already changed thousands.

357: Rethinking How Organizations Are Built to Change Lives (Logan Herring)Episode SummaryFive years after his first appearance on Episode #128, Logan Herring returns with a dramatically expanded vision and impact. What began as an ambitious community revitalization effort has evolved into a nationally recognized model for integrated, place-based change. As CEO of The WRK Group, Logan leads a vertically integrated set of tax-exempt businesses focused on housing, cradle-to-career education, workforce development, and community wellness in Riverside, Wilmington. In this conversation, he challenges leaders to rethink how organizations are structured, funded, measured, and branded. From rejecting the term nonprofit in favor of tax-exempt business, to treating those served as customers, to measuring Net Promoter Scores and social return on investment, Logan makes the case that lasting change requires business discipline, upstream strategy, and the courage to build institutions designed to solve problems permanently rather than manage them indefinitely.About LoganLogan Herring is the CEO of The WRK Group, a collective of tax-exempt businesses in Wilmington, Delaware focused on housing, education, workforce development, and community wellness.
