Episode Summary When Jamole Callahan was fifteen, he realized the adults were meeting every few months to decide his future, and he was never in the room. He spent six years in foster care across nine homes and aged out at eighteen into the kind of instability that pushes so many young people straight into homelessness. Twenty years later, the rooms have flipped: lawmakers now invite him in, and he has helped shape the federal housing policy that gives young people leaving care a longer runway of support. He talks with host Micaela Tracy about the meetings he fought his way into, the foster-agency worker who finally leveled with him, the science teacher he now calls dad, and why housing is the foundation everything else depends on. His message reaches past the system to anyone listening: throw the pebble in the pond, because your expertise is someone else's learned skill, and the ripple reaches a shore you may never see.

-Mendoza mentioned this weekend that he plans on donating a lot of money to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research and cures because of what itmeans to his family with his mother dealing with it…and at the same time said that he doesn't plan to donate back to Indiana at least for awhile-The question is this: should recent players be asked to give back to NIL funds?

Rowan Childs - Madison Reading Project On Building Up Youth: "We want to make sure every kid is excited and sees themselves on the cover or as the main character." Often we take the skills we have for granted. We want this and that, but rarely take the time to have gratitude for all that we have. I'm not talking material things, I am speaking of opportunities and education. As business owners, we know how to read. Did you know that many children have challenges achieving the literacy needed to understand the other subjects in school? Rowan Childs saw this need and built a non-profit to help children get access to books to read. Not just any books. These are books that kids want to read. Madison Reading Project is a non-profit that offers free books and literacy resources to children to ignite a love of reading. The beautiful thing is Madison Reading Project has blossomed from a small startup to a non-profit that continues to serve thousands of books to children. This is truly an amazing success story and a story that is making the world a better place. Enjoy!

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found at https://drawincustomers.com. We are locally underwritten by the Bank of Sun Prairie, and today we are welcoming, slash, preparing to learn from Rowan Childs of Madison Reading Project. Rowan, I'm super excited to be here. Rowan Childs [00:00:32]: Thank you. Welcome. James Kademan [00:00:34]: This is amazing. We got. I mean, people can see we got whatever, 5 billion books behind us and all that stuff. So tell us the story. What is Madison Reading Project? Rowan Childs [00:00:44]: Yeah. So we are a nonprofit. We provide all kinds of literacy resources, whether they are physical books, digital resources, and our wonderful stuff. We're here to support adults and children in support of them learning how to read in support of them re engaging or engaging in reading and love of books, ultimately to help raise literacy rates in Dane county and now just in Sauk county as well. Yes. That's a brand new thing. James Kademan [00:01:27]: Wow. Rowan Childs [00:01:27]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:28]: All right. Rowan Childs [00:01:29]: But we're really here to make sure that kids have their books and to help remove some of those barriers that they have. So whether it's been from the very beginning through what we do today, we do that in a way more sophisticated way than how we started, but it really is to try and provide really high quality materials that children and adults can keep. So we want to make sure that kids are excited about the books and about reading and that they ultimately are inspired to want to hang on to those and to continue to read and love books. James Kademan [00:02:08]: Nice. I love it. I love it. It's so interesting because when you give me address to the place, I just follow gps. And I was like, it's just going to be some warehouse or something like that. But this is a very bright. It's vibrant, it's welcoming. It's not just some dingy, like, there's the books in the back kind of thing. Rowan Childs [00:02:25]: Not at all. James Kademan [00:02:25]: So this is cool. This is very nice. Rowan Childs [00:02:28]: Good. That's how we want everyone to feel. James Kademan [00:02:30]: Yeah. I love it. Let's go back to the way back when, when you first started this 12 years ago, you said, yep, that is a while. We got pandemic. We got. Rowan Childs [00:02:41]: Man. James Kademan [00:02:42]: I feel like every few years there's some kind of a crisis. So I don't remember all the crisis we've been through. But what triggered you to start Madison Reading Project? Rowan Childs [00:02:51]: Yeah, I had just helped my own son re engage in reading. He liked reading things at home, but not so much the books that he was reading at school. And after I helped him figure that out, it just got me thinking about what if I hadn't understood the teacher who had messaged me at home? Or what if they hadn't messaged me? It took me some time and resources to figure that out. So I started just researching and couldn't really find what I was looking for, which wasn't necessarily volunteering on helping kids how to read, it was the other piece of it. And so I spent some time interviewing at some schools and some other after school locations and no one really knew of something of what I was describing and eventually had this idea of potentially how I this pilot program idea. But I wanted to find a pilot program location that would be smaller versus starting somewhere that had 200 kids. So I eventually found a program at Salvation army on Darbo drive that had 30 kids. And Zarbo Drive area is a pretty impoverished area. Rowan Childs [00:04:15]: And the director at that time said he was actually trying to help the kids with homework, but they were behind in reading and he was trying to engage kids in reading. So it was this perfect sort of timing. And the week that we met, the Race to Equity report came out, which was a five year data set on everything that you kind of need for the proof of why literacy is so important. So anything on the actual literacy rates of every school in the county, comparing not just districts and schools, but also third grade reading levels, fifth grade high school in poverty rates, and also race, comparing kids who are white and black or Hispanic. And some of the differences not only were maybe 10 or 15%, but some of the schools were up to 40% differences. And that's just heartbreaking. Still, every time I talk about it, it makes me just really sad because if you can't read whether you're in third grade, you. You're just always going to be behind. Rowan Childs [00:05:28]: Ultimately, you might still be able to struggle through school, but what kind of job are you going to be able to get or can even get your driver's license? You know, it's just snowballs from there. James Kademan [00:05:40]: Yeah. Rowan Childs [00:05:42]: And Will, who was the director at the time, was really adamant that if you can't read, it's just going to be a really difficult life or could lead to a life of incarceration. And so the two of us were very passionate about trying to figure something out. And then the last piece was the funding. James Kademan [00:06:05]: It's a pretty big piece, kind of. Rowan Childs [00:06:07]: I had no money to put towards my pilot program. Someone I had mentioned what I wanted to do, said you really need to have the right money to do the pilot program. Correctly. James Kademan [00:06:19]: Thanks. Rowan Childs [00:06:20]: Yes. And wrote me a check for $1,000. Oh. Which is really nice. That way I could actually purchase the right materials to make the program the pilot. Correct. James Kademan [00:06:32]: Wow. Rowan Childs [00:06:33]: So that was the last piece for that. So we did a three month pilot program that went really well. The parents, the kids were really engaged and excited about clearing out some of the old books that nobody wanted to read, putting in new books that the kids helped so select. The teachers were excited to have new materials so successful that they asked me to come back and do it again. James Kademan [00:06:59]: All right. Rowan Childs [00:07:00]: Which we did. And one thing led to another. But it definitely, as we stayed and sort of kept learning from that, that really was the beginning of learning that. Absolutely kids do want to learn how to read. They absolutely do want to read great books and to select books. And there's a lot of pride in being able to select their own books. And we stayed at that location exclusively for nearly two years, just learning with the kids and the parents and the teachers really what we did or didn't want to do or what we could do before we were going to scale at all. And that was great. Rowan Childs [00:07:50]: And the other piece was, how are we going to fund all of this apart from that initial check? And while we were doing that initial pilot program in that first year, people just started giving me boxes of their nice books that they had never used or just unsolicited. They're like, oh, oh, by the way, I have a box of books for you. Like, oh, thank you so much. Or people were asking me how they could donate some money because they loved what they had heard what I was doing, whether I really knew them or not, till the point where I had a basement full of books in my house. And I was like, this seems like we have something here. So we have definitely children in a population in Madison initially that absolutely would love to have more books and programs. We have people who absolutely seem to love books and want to provide books....

The Rebbe advises that instead of giving books individually to each resident, it is preferable to donate a copy to the nursing home library so many can benefit. He also suggests consulting with those familiar with the residents to choose suitable Kehot books. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/011/009/3523

Julia and I had been giving half since 2014, but in 2025 we drew on our savings to donate 81%. It looks to us like we're in a critical window for keeping the introduction of very powerful AI systems from being disastrous, and we want to do what we can while we still can. Here's what that looks like in the context of our overall spending: We've been prioritizing donations for a long time, but it feels very different now because of the AI boom. Some of this is that people who've made money in the boom will likely be giving more soon, and so money spent now can help set up organizations to spend future money more effectively. But more importantly, this is a key window of opportunity: transformative AI is coming very quickly, for better or worse. We want to push hard for "better". If you compare to previous years (2024, 2022, 2020, 2018, 2016, 2014), we're donating a lot less than we used to in absolute terms: Until mid-2022 I was working at a big tech company, optimizing to maximize donations, and now I'm at a non-profit.

Can you imagine how overjoyed this Texas family felt after their dog, who had been missing for 2 years, turned up at a New Jersey mall? She was so far from home!

After the service ends and the casseroles are gone, families are left with something no one really prepares them for.The quiet.And then… the stuff.In this episode of The Good Grief Podcast, the conversation turns to something deeply personal and often overwhelming—what to do with a loved one's belongings after they pass. From a father's coffee mug to a worn sweatshirt that still carries their scent, these aren't just items. They are memories, identity, and connection.Mike O'Connell describes the moment many families face: standing in a still home, realizing they now have to open drawers, sort through closets, and make decisions that feel far bigger than they expected. And that's where things can get complicated.Different family members process grief differently. Some want to keep everything. Others want to donate. Some avoid it altogether. These differences can quickly turn into tension.But this episode offers something rare—practical guidance paired with real compassion.You'll hear why slowing down matters, how grief has no timeline, and why what looks like “junk” to one person may be deeply meaningful to another. You'll also learn how organizations like Treasures of the Heart help families turn loss into legacy—giving items a second life in the community, while helping others heal in the process.Because in the end, this isn't about getting rid of things.It's about carrying the story forward.00:00:00 – Why belongings become overwhelming after loss00:01:30 – The emotional weight behind everyday items00:03:00 – Family conflict when sorting possessions00:05:30 – Why there is no “right way” to grieve belongings00:06:30 – The importance of slowing down the process00:07:30 – Turning physical items into digital memories00:09:00 – Reframing “getting rid of things” into legacy00:10:30 – How donations support the community00:12:00 – What Treasures of the Heart accepts (and doesn't)00:17:00 – Guilt associated with letting go00:19:30 – The “keep, donate, unsure” method00:20:30 – Including children in the process00:23:00 – Real family conflict stories (and resolution)00:25:30 – When families don't agree on items00:26:30 – Why pre-planning prevents future conflictKey TakeawaysYou're not sorting items—you're sorting memories.Grief has no timeline. You don't have to rush decisions.What feels insignificant to you may mean everything to someone else.Donating items can help continue your loved one's legacy.Conflict is common when families aren't aligned—planning ahead matters.A simple system like “keep, donate, unsure” can reduce overwhelm.Letting go is not betrayal—it can be part of healing.Resources MentionedIf you or your family are navigating loss or planning ahead, these trusted local resources can help guide you:Adoray Home Health & HospiceProviding compassionate hospice care, grief support, and community services for individuals and families.https://adoray.org/Treasures from the Heart (Adoray Thrift Stores)A meaningful way to donate items and support hospice care, while giving belongings a second life in the community.https://adoray.org/treasures-storesO'Connell Family Funeral Homes – PreplanningLearn more about preplanning options to reduce stress, provide clarity, and support your loved ones in the future.https://oconnellfuneralhomes.com

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show. In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family.

Episode 3498: Anthony Ongaro challenges the common habit of automatically donating unwanted items, explaining how overloaded donation centers often can't resell everything. He argues that selling items first helps recover value, encourages more intentional consumption, and ensures products actually continue their lifecycle with someone who wants them. His approach reframes decluttering as a responsible, sustainable process rather than simply passing clutter somewhere else. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/stop-donating/ Quotes to ponder: "Dropping a bunch of things off at the donation center really just makes your clutter someone else's problem." "If no one wants to buy it from you, what are the chances that someone else will be able to sell it, including the donation center?" "The most sustainable item is the one that already exists."

Hello Culture Kids explorers! Grab your imaginary passports and climb aboard the Culture Train because today we're heading high into the sky for a magical hot air balloon adventure. In this episode, Mom, Asher, and Arden learn how hot air balloons work and discover the science that helps them float. Along the way, we travel back in time to France in 1783 when the first hot air balloon flight with people on board took place. Before humans went up, inventors tested their balloon with a sheep, a duck, and a rooster to make sure living creatures could breathe safely in the sky. Once we understand the science of warm air, buoyancy, and balloon envelopes, our journey begins. With the help of a friendly balloon pilot, we gently lift off and drift above some of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. Our first stop takes us over Cappadocia, Turkey, one of the most famous hot air balloon destinations in the world. From the sky we see ancient volcanic rock formations shaped like towering cones and sandcastles. Long ago, people carved homes, churches, and even entire underground cities into these soft rock hills, creating a remarkable landscape filled with history and imagination. Next, the wind carries us across the sky to the Loire Valley in France, where we float above a peaceful river, patchwork fields, and hundreds of beautiful châteaux. These grand stone homes were once places where French kings and queens came to relax in the countryside. Today, the Loire Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its history, architecture, and stunning scenery. As we drift gently back toward the ground, we are reminded that seeing the world from a new angle can help us notice beauty, creativity, and wonder in places we may never have imagined.
