Podcast appearances and mentions of jodi grinwald

Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast featuring Adam Glinn, CEO, JCC of Middlesex County.In this powerful episode, Adam Glinn shares his unique journey from practicing law to discovering his true calling—nonprofit leadership. Although the legal profession shaped part of his path, it was never where his heart truly lived. Raised by parents who modeled service and community commitment—serving on boards and giving back in meaningful ways—Adam developed an early understanding of what it meant to be of service to others.Now, as the CEO of the JCC of Middlesex County, Adam leads with purpose, compassion, and a clear focus on meeting the ever-evolving needs of the community. Under his leadership, the JCC has launched a transformative capital campaign and pivoted from simply referring mental health needs to becoming a first-line provider of mental health services. They've also expanded their programming to include occupational and physical therapy, a move many would not have expected from a traditional JCC—but one that speaks to their commitment to supporting the whole person and entire family.Adam also reveals a surprising reality: Of the approximately 170 Jewish Community Centers across North America, more than 70% have memberships where over half the members are not Jewish. At the JCC in Edison, NJ, the reach is just as broad. Members speak 37 different languages, and of the 150 preschoolers they serve, 90% are not Jewish. The center has become a place for all people—welcoming, supportive, and mission-driven.With a heart for his team, a vision for the future, and a deep desire to serve, Adam Glinn is redefining what it means to lead a community organization in today's world.Subscribe to the Today is the Day Changemakers YouTube channel or stream all episodes on all major platforms Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @TodayistheDayLiveIt.To learn more about upcoming Changemakers Connective events, workshops, keynote speaking, 1:1 coaching, team leadership development, and transformational consulting, visit TodayistheDayLiveIt.com.Jodi Grinwald is a sought-after speaker, award-winning transformational architect, and certified professional coach who works with nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and leaders seeking to connect to their “why” and create greater impact.#changemakers #podast #community #buildingabrand #brandbuilding #changetheway #todayistheday

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 1 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. I am so excited to be back interviewing the changemakers, inspirers, and those disrupting the status quo. This week I am excited to introduce the fantastic fab five food bank CEO's of New Jersey. These individuals, Fred Wasiak, Elizabeth McCarthy, Bernie Flynn, Triada Stampas, and Mark Valli are working together to feed New Jersey through each of their amazing organizations. Each of these incredible changemakers have found themselves working in public service, whether they knew from the start that they wished to pursue the nonprofit path or found it along the way, they have all come together with a common goal: to help the people of New Jersey. Fred Wasiak is the CEO and president of the Food Bank of South Jersey, serving 4 counties from urban, to suburban, to rural. Founded in 1985, the Food Bank of South Jersey focuses on health, nutrition, education, and awareness. Fred emphasizes that “the root cause is not hunger, it is poverty” when discussing ways to address the problem of food insecurity at its source. Elizabeth McCarthy, president and CEO of Community Food Bank of New Jersey shares a common goal as her recent focus has been job training programs to help people get on their feet. CFBNJ started with a woman named Kathleen DiChiara handing out meals out of her station wagon and now 49 years later they provide 90 million meals annually. Elizabeth describes her perspective as “food is medicine”, aiming to get heart healthy meals to those in need. Bernie Flynn is the full-time volunteer CEO of Mercer Street Friends, providing food bank services since 1958, focusing on family and education in Mercer County. He highlights the food banks' partnership with the state as “providing tremendous support” throughout their public service endeavors. Triada Stampas is the CEO and president of Fulfill, a food bank serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties which sends 14 million meals to a network of 300 people. Fulfill began as a food bank 40 years ago and has now included toy and clothing drives as well to address larger issues within the population. Triada firmly believes, “it is a blessing to get help when you need it and it is a blessing to give help when others need it, that's something that binds us as humans”. Mark Valli is the CEO of Norwescap, serving over 30,000 low-income families in the northwest corner of New Jersey. Founded in 1965, Norwescap started as a community action organization and has grown its role to include a food bank. He describes his work as, “a system to help government and private resources get channeled to people who need them”.  By forming a coalition and meeting regularly to collaborate, these five food bankers of New Jersey have formed a strong group within the state to ensure impactful, judgment free, lasting aid to those in need. It is as Fred says, “when five food bankers of New Jersey get together, good things happen”.  If you would like to help this cause, we encourage you to take advantage of the abundant volunteer opportunities provided by their organizations or make a monetary donation to help them to continue to serve nutritious food. You can also visit their websites, foodbanksj.org, cfbnj.org, mercerstreetfriends.org, fulfillnj.org, and norwescap.org to learn more about their work. Please follow Today is the Day on Facebook - Today is the Day Live It and Instagram @todayisthedayliveit.Have a great week everyone!

Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast! The launch is finally here!Hello! I am Jodi Grinwald and I am looking so forward to sharing weekly interviews I will be having with changemakers, inspirers, and those who are crushing the status quo. You will hear real stories from people that are making a real difference in their corner of the world! In this short episode you will learn more about my background, why I launched this podcast now, and how important realizing Today is the Day truly is! Five years ago all I could think about was how much I really wanted to start a podcast and share important and valuable information with a listening audience. The only thing holding me back  was my limiting beliefs that there were too many podcasts, that no one would listen, and would anyone actually relate to my content? Now, I think about who doesn't need inspiration with all that is going on, how many people could benefit from listening to how changemakers are staying inspired to continue to do the good work they do, and what if one of the conversations that someone listens to helps give them inspiration to launch themselves forward.  We all have so many gifts to give and we sometimes allow fear to hold us back. So, today is the day to change that!   I consider myself a master connector. I truly believe that it is important to learn how to level-up your connections and communicate your story effectively. It is important to me to interact with my listeners, so please reach out. Are you a changemakers with an amazing story to tell? Do you have a question for a changemaker? Do  you have a question for me? Are you looking for some help launching your organization or in need of help innovating and growing your business so that it can thrive? If you answer yes to any of these questions or just want to have a conversation, please reach out to jodi@todayisthedayliveit.com. Please follow us on FB at www.facebook.com/todayisthedayliveit or Instagram at the same name. Always remember, today is the day, you cannot go back to yesterday, and you do not yet own tomorrow!
