Podcasts about giving back

What does it mean to live—and lead—with clarity, restraint, and purpose? Robert Rosenkranz, a renowned investor, philanthropist, and author of The Stoic Capitalist, believes that ancient wisdom offers modern guidance—especially in how we respond to emotion. From founding a private equity firm by risking his entire net worth, to backing civil discourse through Open to Debate, to championing breakthroughs in healthspan science and immersive art, Robert offers a masterclass in rational decision-making and values-driven leadership. You'll hear why he rejects the idea of “giving back,” how he navigates risk, and why—when it comes to building a life of impact—being busy is no substitute for being thoughtful.

Virginia-based trainer Chelsey O'Brien returns to OTTB on Tap as she gears up for the 2025 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover—this time with two OTTBs and twice the determination. Representing the nonprofit Pastured Place, Chelsey introduces us to The Pepsodent Show (“Peppy”), a charismatic 5-year-old gelding by VE Day. With a name that throws it back to the golden age of radio—The Pepsodent Show was a wildly popular 1930s–40s comedy series hosted by Bob Hope, not unlike today's podcasts—Peppy brings brains, athleticism, and a big personality to the table.Chelsey is also retraining her personal mare, Fuzzy Wuzzy, a powerful 4-year-old by Palace, for the barrels and possibly ranch work. In this candid episode, she walks us through how she juggles training two very different OTTBs, her role as a Pastured Place ambassador, and what it means to advocate for Thoroughbred aftercare as both a horsewoman and a mom.From groundwork and restart strategies to hauling, first shows, and building mental fitness, Chelsey shares thoughtful advice for anyone bringing along an off-track Thoroughbred. She also reflects on how organizations like Pastured Place and The Western Thoroughbred are changing the landscape—making OTTBs more visible and accessible in both English and Western disciplines.This episode is part of the RRP Trainer Chronicles, an OTTB on Tap Original Series spotlighting the trainers and Thoroughbreds preparing for the Retired Racehorse Project Makeover. Whether you're considering an OTTB for barrel racing, competitive trail, eventing, or the Thoroughbred Makeover, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical takeaways from a trainer who's all heart—and all in.OTTB on Tap is 100% independently produced by two horse girls who love Thoroughbreds and great storytelling.

In this episode, I speak with Jane Roos, CAN Fund Founder, Artist, Speaker, and Gallery Owner. Jane's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as she shares her life story, which took a dramatic turn at a young age when she was involved in a tragic car accident that claimed the life of her best friend. This pivotal moment forced Jane to reevaluate her life and ultimately led her to discover her true purpose. Jane describes how she has always been an entrepreneur, influenced by her athletic and artistic family background. Despite the challenges she faced after the accident, including multiple surgeries and the loss of her athletic and modelling careers, Jane found a way to channel her experiences into something positive. She founded CanFund, a charity dedicated to supporting Canadian athletes by providing them with financial assistance to pursue their dreams of competing on the world stage. Jane emphasizes the importance of understanding one's "why" and living intentionally. She reflects on how the accident shifted her perspective, allowing her to appreciate life more deeply and encouraging her to help others. Jane's passion for supporting athletes is evident as she discusses CanFund's impact over the years, helping over 8,000 athletes achieve their goals.

Beau Hughes – HF Sinclair: Corporate Procurement Leader It was an absolute pleasure to have my good friend, Beau Hughes, join me on the PCS to Corporate America Podcast. Beau works for HF Sinclair as a Procurement Supervisor in their Corporate Procurement team.  Find out how Beau went from JMO to Corporate Procurement Leader in our latest podcast. Beau was one of the first JMOs I had the opportunity to work with when I joined Cameron-Brooks in 2023. Since then, we've grown close, and I've enjoyed watching him build a successful life and career after the Army. A former U.S. Army Logistics Officer, Beau launched his corporate career in November 2023 with HF Sinclair in Tulsa, OK. Right after accepting the offer through the November 2023 Career Conference, Beau and his wife welcomed their son into the world. Since then, things haven't slowed down. Within his first year, Beau earned a promotion and returned to a Career Conference as a hiring manager, where he hired another Cameron-Brooks Alumnus. Beau's transition from the Army to a rising leader in corporate procurement is full of lessons for junior military officers. His story is inspiring, practical, and worth hearing. Transitioning to Civilian Life with Purpose With a baby on the way and a strong desire to be more present at home, Beau made the decision to leave the Army in early 2023. Like many officers, he started the job search on his own and quickly saw how challenging it can be to navigate the civilian hiring process. That's when a friend pointed him to Cameron-Brooks. After connecting with our team in August, Beau attended the November 2023 Career Conference and landed a Procurement Specialist role with HF Sinclair. “Cameron-Brooks made the process easy. I just had to show up prepared.” Redefining Procurement: Strategy Over Purchasing At HF Sinclair, Beau learned quickly that procurement is far more strategic than most people think. “I get a little offended when people call it purchasing. We're building partnerships to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership, not just buying stuff.” His responsibilities include managing sourcing events, writing contracts, and being a strategic partner to internal teams. He found success quickly, even leading one of the smoothest refinery turnarounds in the company's recent history. Earning a Promotion and Managing Life Transitions The first year wasn't easy, but it was worth it. In March 2025, a little over a year after starting, Beau was promoted to Procurement Supervisor and relocated to El Dorado, Kansas. Despite a steep learning curve and the demands of a new role, Beau felt supported throughout the process. “You're not just thrown to the wolves. You're challenged, yes, but supported the whole way.” During this time, Beau also navigated becoming a new dad, moving states, and buying a home. He also mentioned the value of having more predictability in his schedule. He's not necessarily working less, but he has more control. Beau's Advice for JMOs Beau had some solid advice for fellow officers considering a move to business: Be hungry and humble – Learn fast, ask questions, and show up ready to work. Own your learning – No one's handing you a manual. Be proactive. Stay authentic – Companies want the real you, not a script. Trust the process – The Cameron-Brooks program works if you do the work. “It's not instant gratification, but it works. You just have to grind, learn, and grow.” What Makes Cameron-Brooks Candidates Stand Out? Now that Beau is a hiring manager, he sees firsthand the quality of Cameron-Brooks candidates: They're prepared. They present themselves well. They're confident, not arrogant. They're genuine. Beau shared a story about a candidate who wore a suit to a casual interview. He didn't have to, but it made a lasting impression. Final Thoughts: Growth, Grit, and Giving Back

Send us a textIn the remote wilderness of New Brunswick, where cell signals disappear and vehicle sounds fade to nothing, a unique mental health initiative for first responders is taking root. This episode introduces us to Thin Line Hunts, a non-profit program created by paramedic and volunteer firefighter Brodie Garnett that offers completely free guided bear hunting experiences to those who serve on the front lines of emergency response.Far from typical outfitting operations, Thin Line Hunts represents something deeper—a recognition that those who respond to life's most traumatic moments need spaces to decompress and reset. Through candid conversation with Brody and guide Caleb Jones, we discover how this program transports first responders to a pristine wilderness setting where the healing happens organically. No formal therapy sessions, just authentic connections forged over campfires, fishing excursions that yielded hundreds of catches, and the shared anticipation of bears approaching baited sites.The stories from their inaugural season paint a vivid picture of the experience—from Brody McLaughlin harvesting his first bear within hours of his first hunt, to the humorous "Click Bait" incident when a misfiring rifle led to a memorable nickname for one hunting site. Throughout the challenges of cold, rain, and occasional equipment failures, what emerges is the profound impact of giving these everyday heroes permission to step away from their responsibilities and reconnect with themselves in nature.Whether you're interested in hunting, mental health initiatives for first responders, or simply appreciate stories of people finding innovative ways to help others, this episode offers a window into how wilderness experiences can transform lives. Follow Thin Line Hunts on Facebook or Instagram to support their mission or apply for future hunts dedicated to those who run toward danger while the rest of us run away.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast. Tell your hunting buddies about the podcast if you like it, Thanks!

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach.  Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events.  In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time.  Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges.  Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Just days after her French Open win, Coco Gauff is here on Nice Talk to discuss all things money, power, and style. Gauff has been a tennis legend nearly her entire life, and now, at 21 years old, she has two Grand Slam championships to her name.

As summer begins, students across the country will be shedding the carefree summers of childhood in exchange for work experience and college credits in the form of internships. But beyond just completing a graduation requirement, research shows that internships create positive and crucially important outcomes for students as they move into the workforce and develop skills and interests, build networks and solidify career goals. . On this episode of Moving Forward, Giving Back, we begin with a quick introduction to LSC Philadelphia's new executive director Jennifer Parrado by our CEO Sarah MacDonald. Then Jenn talks with three alums of LSC's summer internship program, Project Onramp. Project Onramp connects students to early work opportunities to explore pathways in our industry. Serena Burkinshaw, Fadi Shamaan, and Alain Santo Domingo discuss their internship experiences through Project Onramp, what they learned, tips for future participants, as well as the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone as you enter the workforce. It's a timely and informative conversation that we can all benefit from at this time of year!Learn more about Life Science Cares at lifesciencecares.org and Project Onramp at projectonramp.us. 

Some announcements carry more weight than others, and this one comes straight from the heart. Peace Love Moto is now officially sponsoring two remarkable Northern Colorado nonprofits that embody the spirit of joy, healing, and community connection.The Carousel of Happiness in Nederland stands as a testament to resilience and wonder. My friend Scott Harrison, a Vietnam veteran who found solace in a tiny music box during combat, dedicated 26 years to hand-carving 56 magnificent animals. These creatures now bring joy to visitors from around the world as they ride the restored 1910 carousel to the melodies of a century-old Wurlitzer band organ. It's a place where joy isn't just an emotion – it's a tangible presence, carefully crafted and freely shared.Just minutes from my home, Hearts and Horses offers another kind of healing magic. This therapeutic riding center serves children with disabilities, veterans battling PTSD, and individuals with dementia through equine-assisted therapy. With approximately 30 horses and a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers, they create safe spaces where physical and emotional healing blossoms through the unique bond between humans and horses.These initiatives have awakened something profound in me – a calling to create more meaningful connections with you, my listeners. While I may record this podcast from my son's former bedroom in Loveland, the feedback I receive suggests many of you crave authentic experiences: riding Colorado's back roads, witnessing nature's magnificence, and meeting extraordinary people making a difference in our world. I'm actively exploring ways we might connect beyond these audio episodes – perhaps through shared motorcycle journeys where together we can seek that elusive peace of mind we all desire. The path forward isn't entirely clear yet, but the destination feels right – finding joy, purpose, and connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Stay tuned as this vision takes shape.Support the show

The world needs more impactful, local charitable giving, says Nathan Merrill. Giving without an expectation of anything in return, this is the subject today. And this act provides more benefits than many people think. We discuss the physiological effects of service, and how this helps the mind and the body. Think about how to help people within your circle, including the people you work with. You may be able to help people in ways you had never imagined. Nate and Karl discuss three ways of giving, by showing up, by delivering the high-level skills that made you wealthy, and by just plain old writing a check or using other financial tools. And what about the single people, and/or people without children? Finally, some deep thoughts about the tax deductions and how they test a person's conviction about the charities...would we give without a tax benefit?Resources mentioned in today's podcast:Foundation SourceMore than Money 360Die with ZeroGo Tax Free with a Charity White PaperAs always, it is good to have an expert on your side.

Reisch Brewing Co. was a brewery established in Springfield, Illinois, by Franz Sales Reisch in 1849 after immigrating from Germany. The business closed permanently in 1966. In 2018, a group of breweriana collectors and beer can enthusiasts founded Reisch Charities. In 2019, the group revived the Reisch Gold Top Beer brand using the original recipe brewed by George Reisch. Today, all proceeds from beer sales go to Springfield charities. Roy Mayfield and Vince Salvo, board members of Reisch Charities, spoke to Community Voices about the history and legacy of the Reisch family, the process of bringing the brand back, and the importance of preserving local history.

Dave Taylor is a long-time entrepreneur, Dave has a popular YouTube channel, writes for the local newspaper, and mentors early stage startups when he's not pursuing one of his hobbies. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. The most important factor for an entrepreneur is optimism. You've got to be resilient and persistent but mostly, you've got to be optimistic to get to the other side and be the success that you want to be. 2. The Rising Tide metaphor is asking how you could help a fellow businessman to be successful and then hope and expect that they will do the same. 3. Your success in business is so much a factor of you being out there. Its hard but that skill is worth learning because who you know opens up many doors than what you know or what you have built.
