When the ground gives way and the headlines roar, most of us reach for control. We built this message around Psalm 46 to offer a better refuge: the living God who is “a very present help in trouble.” We start where the psalm starts, naming the chaos with honesty—mountains moving, waters foaming, nations raging—and then we trace the surprising turn to a quiet river that makes the city of God glad. That shift isn't poetic window dressing; it's a map for anxious souls learning to breathe again.We walk through the Scriptures that echo this pattern. At the Red Sea, God saves at daybreak while His people stand still. With Elisha, an unseen army fills the hills while fear shrinks the horizon. On the Sea of Galilee, Jesus silences a storm with three words and exposes the gap between our panic and His peace. These scenes aren't museum pieces; they are invitations to see scale rightly: God's voice outweighs the loudest crisis. That's why “Be still and know that I am God” is more than a coffee-mug comfort. It is a royal decree to warring nations and warring hearts, a call to yield to the true King who will be exalted in the earth.We also press the promise home. The reason the city stands isn't the river; it's the God in the midst. In Christ, the fortress is not a place we run to earn, but a refuge we receive by grace. Your life can be hidden with Him today—supplied by daily mercies, guarded by steadfast love, and steadied by a hope that looks past night toward morning. If you've been trying to outshout the storm, come hear why surrender is safer than self-salvation and how to practice God's presence when the world shakes. Listen, share with a friend who needs courage, and if this encouraged you, subscribe and leave a review so others can find their way to the fortress too.

Imagine being afraid of a pickle. Or a banana. Or a nub of bread. That’s daily life for people with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). It's an eating disorder not driven by weight or body image, but by fear, sensory overwhelm, or low appetite. People with this condition experience real terror and powerful aversions to certain foods - far beyond picky eating. Clinical psychologist Dr. Evelyna Kambanis explains ARFID, who it affects, and how treatment helps people reclaim their lives. Andrew Luber (aka “ARFID Andrew”) shares his funny, blunt, and vulnerable attempts at food exposures online. And Danielle Meinert tells the story of carrying ARFID since toddlerhood, and the startling change she says came after a high-dose psilocybin experience.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens is joined by Joel Perso for Part 3 of the Conquering Operational Chaos Power Hour series—with a deep, tactical dive into real estate operations. This conversation pulls back the curtain on what actually breaks growing real estate businesses—not leads, not talent, but operational chaos. John and Joel break down how to build consistent, repeatable buyer and listing systems that protect client experience, elevate team performance, and unlock the next level of scale. If you've ever felt like your business would collapse if volume doubled tomorrow, this episode gives you the blueprint to fix it—before it costs you deals, reputation, or your sanity. Key Topics Covered Why Operations Are the Real Growth Constraint Why there are no neutral client interactions—every moment builds or erodes trust How inconsistent systems quietly damage brand reputation Why most teams break after success, not before it The Power of Proven, Repeatable Systems Turning chaos into clarity through documented processes Why consistency beats talent when scaling a team How systems protect culture, clients, and profitability Listing Systems That Create Confidence Lead follow-up processes for expireds, FSBOs, and seller leads Pre-listing packets, appointment confirmations, and pricing strategy Walkthrough frameworks that demonstrate expertise and build trust Setting expectations early to avoid pricing and timeline conflict Buyer Systems That Win Loyalty (and Offers) Internet lead follow-up and buyer qualification frameworks Why showings are the most underrated trust-building moment Leading showings like an expert—not a door opener Offer-writing consistency and marketplace reputation Contract-to-Close: Where Deals Are Won or Lost Why handoffs between agents, TCs, lenders, and title matter The mindset shift: assume no one else will catch the mistake Reviewing title commitments, appraisals, and closing statements Preventing last-minute chaos through proactive leadership Scaling the Right Way Fixing "below-the-waterline" problems before cosmetic upgrades Why V1 systems beat no systems—perfection comes later How operational clarity unlocks recruiting, retention, and freedom Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO Mastermind CoachKitchens.ai – AI-powered systems and SOP support Sisu – Dashboard, transaction management, and client portals Honey Badger Nation Community Growth Centric Consulting – Joel Perso Final Takeaway You don't scale by adding more leads—you scale by removing chaos. Operational excellence isn't about paperwork or bureaucracy. It's about leadership, trust, and delivering a consistent experience that compounds over time. When your systems are clear, your agents perform better, your clients trust deeper, and your business finally becomes scalable. As John puts it: "Assume no one else is going to do their job—and lead the entire transaction." That mindset changes everything.

It's easy to think your ambitions are gone forever once you're a parent, or worse, after a divorce. Suddenly, “having it all” feels unrealistic, if not impossible. But Sarah Armstrong is proof that ambition doesn't just disappear. It evolves. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Sarah, VP of Global Marketing Operations at Google, and author of The Art of the Juggling Act and The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce. She shares what it looked like to keep her career moving through motherhood, divorce, and single parenting, without losing herself in the process. We talk about choosing what matters, setting boundaries that actually hold up, and letting go of pressure that does more harm than good. If you've ever wondered whether your goals still fit the life you're living now, this one's for you.

Get ready to relive peak 90s sports-movie chaos, because this bonus episode of No More Late Fees is all about flying V energy, childhood crushes, and extremely serious hockey opinions. Jackie and Danielle are back on the ice, revisiting The Mighty Ducks trilogy in a way only they can—equal parts reverent, chaotic, and lovingly unhinged.In this episode, the hosts break down Mighty Ducks lore through a full-on character draft, pulling players from all three films and debating who truly deserves a roster spot. Along the way, they dig into behind-the-scenes trivia, character arcs that aged surprisingly well (and some that absolutely did not), and the emotional weight of growing up on Disney Channel sports movies. Expect hot takes on Julie “The Cat,” Adam Banks' undeniable talent, Bash Brothers strategy, and why Iceland may be the most iconic villain team of the era.The conversation also veers into broader nostalgia, touching on kids sports movies that shaped an entire generation, questionable accents, rich-kid antagonists, and the cultural pipeline from The Mighty Ducks to modern sports fandom. With witty commentary, playful arguments, and deep-cut references, this episode feels like hanging out with friends who know way too much about 90s movies—and are proud of it.If you grew up rewinding VHS tapes, yelling “quack, quack” at the TV, or forming lifelong opinions about fictional hockey teams, this episode is for you.

I just watched a documentary on Alexander the Great and tried to do what I always do — turn world domination into punchlines. From conquering Persia before age 30 to having the confidence of a guy who's never bombed on stage, Alexander might be the original “main character energy.”In this episode of Reality is Optional, I break down the wildest moments from the documentary and try to find the comedy in ancient warfare, ego, legacy, and what happens when you think you're unstoppable.We've got:Alexander tutored by Aristotle; conquering most of the known world before 32; elite military strategy and questionable emotional decisions; what happens when your army is tired but you're still chasing glory; and why every comic secretly thinks they're Alexander at an open mic.History meets stand-up. Empires fall. Jokes rise.#AlexanderTheGreat#HistoryComedy#DocumentaryCommentary#AncientHistory#StandUpPodcast
Conquering your old life is not about self-improvement—it's about spiritual displacement. God does not bring us forward so we can negotiate with who we used to be. In this episode, we explore how pride, self-reliance, and forgotten dependence can quietly resurrect the old life God already delivered us from. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8 and 9, we confront the danger of crossing into promise while carrying yesterday's mindset—and how humility is the key to true victory.
In this episode, Pastor Chris talks about one of the most dangerous areas of religion that can show up in our lives and churches, a critical spirit and religious pride.
In the early 1950s, Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin were in a race to develop a vaccine against polio. While Salk's killed-virus vaccine was the first to be distributed, Sabin continued working to perfect his own approach. In the end, Sabin's oral polio vaccine—made from a weakened live virus—proved easier to administer and was ultimately distributed far more widely, though his name never achieved the same recognition. In this episode, Lindsay is joined by epidemiologist and oral historian Karen Torghele. Her book Albert Sabin: The Life of a Polio Vaccine Pioneer is due to be published by Yale University Press in June of 2026.

However, somewhere in his heart, he also craved adventure.Ja: あゆみは肩をすくめて、「道なんて関係ないよ。大事なのは冒険そのものだよ」と言い、楽しそうにはしゃいでいました。En: Ayumi shrugged her shoulders and said, "The path doesn't matter. What's important is the adventure itself," and she was cheerfully excited.Ja: 彼らは歩き始めました。雪道は想像以上に滑りやすく険しかったです。En: They began to walk.

It might be more wonderful."Ja: 仲間たちは賛成しました。彼らは辺りに腰を下ろし、東の空が赤く染まり始めるのを見守りました。En: Her friends agreed. They sat down and watched as the eastern sky began to turn red.Ja: 暖かい光の中で、彼らの顔には穏やかな笑顔がありました。En: In the warm light, they wore gentle smiles on their faces.Ja: 「目的地よりも、こうして一緒にここまで来れたことが大事なのかもしれないね。」はるかは満足そうに言いました。En: "Perhaps what's important is not the destination, but rather that we were able to come this far together," Haruka said contentedly.Ja: そして、何かが変わったことを感じました。En: She felt that something had changed.Ja: 彼女はもう自分の心の声を聞くことができ、仲間を正しく導ける自信を持っていました。En: She could now listen to her inner voice and had gained the confidence to lead her friends correctly.Ja: 新しい一年の幕開けを告げる素晴らしい日の出の中で、彼らの友情もまた、強く輝いていました。En: Amidst the magnificent sunrise, marking the beginning of a new year, their friendship shone brightly and strongly.

Introduction: If you have your Bibles let me invite you to open with me to the book of Revelation chapter 12. We have transitioned now in our study of Revelation to a series of seven visions that highlight and emphasize particularly the enemies of God, their wicked work in the world, and their ultimate…
In this sermon, Chris Romig centers on Revelation chapter 12 as the key to understanding the cosmic battle between God and Satan. He explains that the chapter reveals the deeper story behind world events: Satan, after being defeated by Jesus at the cross, now turns his fury on God's people—both Israel and Christian believers. Chris Romig underscores how this ongoing conflict explains centuries of suffering and anti-Semitism, as well as the challenges Christians face today. He highlights two of Satan's main strategies: deception (twisting truth and distracting people from God) and accusation (filling believers with guilt and doubt). Despite Satan's rage and strength, Chris Romig reassures listeners that Christians overcome the devil "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." He calls believers to live boldly in their victory through Jesus, not allowing fear or accusation to hold them back. The message ends with a communal declaration of faith in Jesus's saving work, reminding listeners that nothing can separate them from God's love and that Satan's defeat is certain. Chris Romig closes with a note of triumph and encouragement: victory is already won through Jesus Christ.
In this episode of Home in Progress, sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, Dan kicks things off with a lighthearted winter story before diving into two practical, surprisingly connected topics: organizing digital memories and choosing the right wood finish.The first half of the show tackles the growing stress of digital photo overload. Dan breaks down why our phones feel so cluttered, explains the critical difference between syncing and backing up photos, and outlines simple, realistic steps for freeing up storage while keeping important memories safe. Along the way, he introduces the “paradox of plenty” — why having fewer, more meaningful photos can actually help us enjoy our memories more.In the second half, the focus shifts back to the Winter Wood Shop with a deep but accessible look at lacquer and polyurethane. Dan explains how modern wood finishes evolved, the practical differences between oil-based and water-based polyurethane, and how recent VOC regulations have changed what's available today. He also shares application tips, common mistakes to avoid, and why polyurethane remains one of the most versatile finishes for real-world woodworking projects.The episode wraps up by connecting good materials, good habits, and good outcomes — whether you're protecting wood or preserving memories.RECOMMENDED READING & RESOURCESIf you want to go deeper, these articles and guides are clear and practical:Practical Guides for Photo Organization & BackupHow to Organize and Protect Digital Photos (The Photo Managers) — A professional's guide to consolidating, organizing, and backing up your entire library.

In April 1954, a group of first graders lined up in the gymnasium of an elementary school in McLean, Virginia for the start of the Salk polio vaccine trials. In an era before widespread federal government involvement in public health, the National Institute of Infantile Paralysis executed an unprecedented experiment involving nearly 2 million children and tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, and volunteers. It was the largest peacetime mobilization in American history.While scientists evaluated the results, Americans waited anxiously to find out whether the vaccine was safe and effective, putting an end to 40 years of fear. But in the spring of 1955, a shocking revelation would bring the vaccination program to a sudden halt.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Transcript:Ca: El dia començava amb un cel clar i un sol brillant sobre la Costa Brava.En: The day began with a clear sky and a bright sun over the Costa Brava.Ca: El mar blau es reflectia en els ulls de la Núria mentre es preparava per a l'excursió.En: The blue sea reflected in Núria's eyes as she prepared for the excursion.Ca: Els penya-segats eren imponents, amagant històries antigues entre les seves roques.En: The cliffs were imposing, hiding ancient stories among their rocks.Ca: L'hivern donava una frescor especial a l'aire, estimulant cada pas que feia la parella.En: Winter gave a special

als seus quadres.En: She loved exploring new landscapes and finding inspiration for her paintings.Ca: Tanmateix, dins seu, hi havia un secret temor: les altures.En: However, within her, there was a secret fear: heights.Ca: En Jordi, el seu amic sempre enèrgic, mai s'havia adonat d'aquesta por.En: Jordi, her ever-energetic friend, had never realized this fear.Ca: Ell caminava al seu costat, ple de confiança, animant-la contínuament.En: He walked beside her, full of confidence, continuously encouraging her.Ca: "Vinga, Núria, aquesta part del camí és preciosa, no t'ho perdis!En: "Come on,

mar.En: The path wound its way along the coast, revealing spectacular views of the sea.Ca: Però també es tornava més complicat, amb pendents rocosos i trams estrets que deixaven veure el mar des de vertiginoses altures.En: But it also became more challenging, with rocky slopes and narrow sections that offered dizzying views of the sea below.Ca: La Núria sentia el cor bategar-li fort, però no volia defallir.En: Núria felt her heart beating hard, but she did not want to falter.Ca: La voluntat de superar la seva por i trobar inspiració guiava cada pas.En: The will to overcome her fear and find inspiration guided every step.Ca: "Ara vindrà la part més alta", va avisar Jordi.En: "Now we're coming to the highest part," Jordi warned.Ca: La Núria es va aturar un moment, mirant cap amunt, cap al punt culminant de l'excursió.En: Núria paused for a moment, looking up towards the culminating point of the excursion.Ca: Allà, el camí s'elevava fins a un penya-segat que prometia una vista de somni.En: There, the path rose to a cliff promising a dreamlike view.Ca: L'aire fred li bufava al voltant, i les onades trencaven amb força contra les roques a sota d'ella.En: The cold air blew around her, and the waves crashed forcefully against the rocks below.Ca: Tot i això, va respirar profundament, trobant la valentia en el suport de Jordi i el desig de vèncer la seva por.En: Nevertheless, she took a deep breath, finding courage in Jordi's support and the desire to conquer her fear.Ca: Finalment, van arribar a la part superior.En: Finally, they reached the top.Ca: La vista era impressionant: un horitzó infinit, blaus i verds del mar fusionant-se amb el cel.En: The view was breathtaking: an endless horizon, blues and greens of the sea blending with the sky.Ca: La Núria es va sentir petita al costat d'aquella magnitud, però també poderosa.En: Núria felt small in the face of such magnitude, but also powerful.Ca: "Ho has aconseguit, mira què bonic!En: "You did it, look how beautiful it is!"Ca: ", va exclamar Jordi, sense adonar-se del que significava aquell moment per a la seva amiga.En: Jordi exclaimed, unaware of what this moment meant for his friend.Ca: La Núria va mirar endavant i va fer una passa més, acceptant el paisatge i el seu temor.En: Núria looked ahead and took another step, embracing the landscape and her fear.Ca: El vent li acariciava els cabells, i un sentiment d'alliberament va envair-la.En: The wind caressed her hair, and a feeling of liberation washed over her.Ca: Amb els ulls lluents, va somriure a Jordi.En: With sparkling eyes, she smiled at Jordi.Ca: En aquell moment, en Jordi va entendre.En: In that moment, Jordi understood.Ca: Va veure el que havia aconseguit i el que havia implicat.En: He saw what she had accomplished and what it had entailed.Ca: Li va oferir un suport sincer amb una abraçada i un "Estic molt orgullós de tu".En: He offered her sincere support with a hug and an "I'm so proud of you."Ca: Després de vèncer les altures, la Núria va sentir una nova confiança.En: After conquering the heights, Núria felt a new confidence.Ca: Sabia que podia confiar en si mateixa i en les seves forces.En: She knew she could rely on herself and her strengths.Ca: Aquesta experiència seria l'empenta per a nous projectes artístics, plens de colors i emocions.En: This experience would be the push for new artistic projects, full of colors and emotions.Ca: Quan van tornar a baixar dels penya-segats, la Núria portava amb ella no només inspiració, sinó també la certesa que podia afrontar nous reptes.En: As they descended from the cliffs, Núria carried with her not only inspiration but also the certainty that she could face new challenges.Ca: La Costa Brava quedava enrere, portant una part del seu cor i pintant-lo a l'ànima de la Núria per sempre.En: The Costa Brava remained behind, taking a piece of her heart and painting it onto Núria's soul forever.

Remember, if you fall, fall with style."Hi: नेराज का यह मजाकिया अंदाज आरव को हमेशा उलझन में डाल देता था।En: Niraj's humorous manner always left Aarav perplexed.Hi: आरव ने स्केट पहन लिए।En: Aarav put on his skates.Hi: इन्हें पहनकर चलना तो दूर, खड़ा रहना भी मुश्किल था।En: Forget about walking; standing still in them was even difficult.Hi: लेकिन उसने निश्चय कर लिया था कि वो संया को प्रभावित करके रहेगा।En: But he was determined to impress Sanya.Hi: जैसे ही उन्होंने तो गिरते हुए कहा, "संभल कर, वरना मेरे जैसे एक्सपर्ट के साथ दौड़ में हो!"En: As he nearly fell, he said, "Watch out, or else you'll be racing against an expert like me!"Hi: रेस शुरू हुई और आरव ने नीचे होते हुए भी एक साहसिक निर्णय लिया।En: The race started, and Aarav made a bold decision despite being off-balance.Hi: उसने स्केट्स को धक्का दिया, और वो अचानक से स्पीड पकड़ने लगे।En: He pushed his skates, and suddenly they started to gain speed.Hi: दर्शकों की चीखें और तालियां सुनाई दी। लेकिन आरव को संतुलन बनाए रखना मुश्किल हो रहा था।En: The cheers and claps of the audience echoed, but Aarav was finding it hard to maintain balance.Hi: उसकी स्केटिंग बाल-बाल बचने वाली स्थिति में तब्दील हो गई।En: His skating turned into a situation of narrow escapes.Hi: अचानक, जैसे ही गिरने वाला था, उसने रिंक पर अपने पूरे शरीर को घुमाया, जैसे कोई शानदार स्टंट कर रहा हो।En: Suddenly, just as he was about to fall, he spun his whole body around on the rink, as if performing a spectacular stunt.Hi: वह गर्जन सिर्फ उसकी बनी-बनाई योजना की असफलता को छुपाने के लिए था।En: That roar was just to cover up his plan's failure.Hi: नेराज भी अपने हाईपन स्टाइल में पीछे ही हंस रहा था।En: Niraj was laughing behind him in his typical amused style.Hi: जब रेस खत्म हुई, आरव ने जान लिया था कि वो विजेता तो नहीं बना लेकिन उसकी चतुराई और हास्य ने सभी को खूब हंसाया।En: When the race ended, Aarav knew he hadn't become the winner, but his cleverness and humor had made everyone laugh heartily.Hi: संया भी मुस्कराते हुए आरव के पास आई। "वाह, आरव! तुमने तो मुझे हंसा-हंसाकर लोटपोट कर दिया। मजेदार था!"En: Sanya also came smiling to Aarav. "Wow, Aarav! You had me rolling with laughter. That was fun!"Hi: आरव मन ही मन खुश था।En: Aarav was happy inside.Hi: उसने समझ लिया था कि शायद प्रतिस्पर्धात्मकता में जीतना जरूरी नहीं है, बल्कि असली जीत अपने आप में ही होती है।En: He realized that maybe winning in competition is not the most important thing, but the true victory lies within oneself.Hi: उस दिन उसने खुद को समझा दिया कि वो जैसा है, वैसा ही रहकर वो सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावशाली है।En: That day, he made himself understand that being himself was the most impressive thing of all.Hi: स्कूल का वो विंटर स्पोर्ट्स इवेंट आरव के लिए हमेशा यादगार रहेगा, क्योंकि उस दिन उसने अपने डर पर विजय पा ली थी।En: That school's winter sports event would always be memorable for Aarav, because that day he conquered his fears.Hi: उसके लिए, वो असली जीत थी।En: For him, that was the real victory.

Episode 2873: Seth Sinclair explores why "people problems" feel so uncomfortable, and how our emotional brain sabotages us in difficult conversations. Drawing on insights from Crucial Conversations and Daniel Goleman's "amygdala hijack," he offers a practical first step to stop conflict before it spirals: recognize the emotional surge early and plan your approach with empathy and intention. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://michaelmehlberg.com/blog/2016/3/2/3-steps-to-conquering-people-problems Quotes to ponder: "We can quickly build up a lot of anxiety and anger, even before we have all of the facts or a chance to reflect on what is going happening." "We unconsciously start to build assumptions about why the other person is wrong, why they are a jerk, why we are right, and why we feel we should 'win' this issue." "Here are three basic strategies you can start using right away to get better results: avoid getting caught off guard, learn to pay attention to yourself, and seek to bring out the best in the other person."

Send us a textBrent and Kyle's story is rooted in life-shaping experiences that led them to become who they are today.Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, leaving him with full cognitive ability but very limited physical mobility. He lives life in a wheelchair and requires assistance with daily tasks like eating. Brent is Kyle's older brother, and they grew up in a household where their family never accepted limitations on what was possible for Kyle.Today, Brent acts as Kyle's legs so Kyle can compete in some of the world's most challenging endurance events — including the IRONMAN World Championship (140.6 miles) and the Boston Marathon among several others. Not only are they completing these races as a push-assist duo, they've also raised millions through The Kyle Pease Foundation to give other individuals with disabilities the chance to experience their own finish-line moments. Their efforts also support inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities who, like Kyle, deserve meaningful roles and visibility.We had a great conversation and you will love this inspiring episode!

By the late 1940s, the National Institute of Infantile Paralysis had raised millions of dollars to pay for patient care and laboratory research. But polio cases were reaching record levels, and scientists were no closer to a cure. Frustrated by the slow progress, Basil O'Connor resolved to recruit fresh talent to the cause. He soon found what he was looking for in a young and energetic researcher named Jonas Salk.In 1951, Salk began testing a killed virus polio vaccine on monkeys in his Pittsburgh lab. His research soon put him at odds with the leading polio scientist Albert Sabin, who wanted his own live virus vaccine formula to prevail. As their rivalry escalated, Salk prepared to take the risky step of testing his vaccine on human subjects.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Fr. Joseph Johnson joins Patrick to discuss Conquering Pride (3:13) Why is pride at the root of all sin? The subtlety of pride (14:16) Valerie - At OCIA...one of the ladies I was with is very humble and I told her that. I think if you're humble, you're void of pride. (21:09) Break 1 Email from Jared - How do we know when pride becomes a mortal sin? What are some tips for recognizing pride in our life? (27:45) Tom - I have a nephew who is a Jesuit. He is such an example of gentleness and a quiet example of humility. It speaks louder than any preaching others do. Noah - I make decent money and I'm looking forward to moving to my previous job where I was happy. I think I was just a little too prideful on being a high earner instead of being humble. Looking for some guidance with this on what to do. Should I stay where I'm at or go where I'm happy? (34:16) Email – how does gratitude fight pride? (36:36) Break 2 How does trust help us to grow in humility? (41:56) Nick - I've learned that life is a battle...no winning/no losing. I know I have a fight. Even though I think I'm a good Catholic, it's still a fight. I still have to fight to fight. Greg - When I read the bible, things that have a message to be shared, but never get a chance to do that. Not that I have pride, but it's something to be talked about.

In the summer of 1921, 39-year-old Franklin Delano Roosevelt was on vacation with his family when he developed a fever, muscle aches, and chills. Pain spread to his legs, and soon, he was paralyzed from the waist down. Doctors diagnosed him with polio, which was fast becoming America's most dreaded infectious disease.Every summer, polio struck without warning, causing swimming pools and movie theaters to close and panicked parents to keep their children indoors. Polio killed thousands of Americans each year and paralyzed many more. But scientists had no idea how to stop it.Roosevelt and his friend and colleague Basil O'Connor resolved to change that, launching the March of Dimes, a revolutionary fundraising campaign that galvanized millions of Americans to donate their time and money to the fight against polio.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
