With the Fur Rondy Open World Championships Sled Dog Race comes with a big win and a record broken. Plus, we may think it’s pretty chilly outside, but the snow is Fairbanks is what's making one little girl happy as she enjoys her Make-A-Wish trip.

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.

This week on the Oh Hell Yeah! Podcast, Eddie and Brent talk about the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team partying after their gold-medal win with friend of the show Kash Patel, the real reason RFK Jr. is always wearing denim, Kid Rock's mansion, and terrible gym behavior.    Subscribe to the pod ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@ohhellyeahpod?sub_confirmation=1 Follow the pod http://instagram.com/ohhellyeahpod https://www.tiktok.com/@ohhellyeahpod Follow Eddie Della Siepe http://instagram.com/Eddiedellasiepe https://www.eddiedellasiepe.com Follow Brent Flyberg http://instagram.com/brentflyberg A concept seldom found in the podcast world.

A wish is far more than a fleeting moment of joy; it is a scientifically-backed medical intervention that can fundamentally alter a child's healing journey. Meaghan Stovel McKnight, CEO of Make-A-Wish Canada, joins the conversation to dismantle the “last wish” myth and replace it with the “Wishes are Medicine” framework, which highlights the measurable clinical impact of hope on critical illness. Beyond the mission, she offers a candid look at leading a national transformation—moving the organization from a post-pandemic scarcity mindset to a culture of abundance by investing in technology, talent, and a “constellation of leaders.” From the logistical challenge of granting wishes in 600 unique communities to the vulnerability required to lead from the C-suite, this discussion bridges the gap between high-level operational strategy and the raw, emotional heart of the social profit sector.

Every 20 minutes, a child is diagnosed with a critical illness—a reality that reshapes lives across the globe. At the heart of the response is Make-A-Wish, an organization dedicated to delivering hope through life-changing experiences. Granting these wishes requires a powerful blend of community support, strategic leadership, and local partnerships. In this episode, we sit down with Mary Elizabeth Bennett, CEO of Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina, to discuss the "magic" and the machinery behind the mission.The Good Guide to Business focuses on featuring conversations with local businesses, organizations and leaders spearheading social and environmental change across our 48-county service area.Production and Editing: Nick Hill, Saige Heigel, and Alyssa Parker.Check out our sponsor!Activate Good

In this episode, Zoo Miami legend and Make‑A‑Wish champion Ron Magill joins us for an unforgettable conversation about animals, empathy, and the transformative power of a wish. Ron reflects on his 45‑year journey from zookeeper to global ambassador for wildlife, sharing how early encounters with animals shaped his life—and how those same connections now help wish kids momentarily escape illness and rediscover joy. From feeding giraffes and meeting cheetahs to reopening the zoo during COVID for a single wish child, Ron reveals the responsibility, emotion, and privilege behind each wish experience. He explores the lasting impact wishes have not only on children, but on parents, caregivers, and everyone involved - including the remarkable Zoo Miami team that makes these moments possible. This episode is a moving reminder that when animals and compassion come together, magic happens—and those memories last a lifetime.Learn more about how can get involved at https://wish.org/sfla!Be sure to follow us @makeawishsfla on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn!Subscribe, Rate, & Review this podcast to support future episodes that will feature wish kids and parents' past and present, volunteers, donors, referral sources and everyone who contributes to this World of Wishes!

What if the fastest way to steady your life in uncertain times is to serve someone else? In this episode of The Lit Up Life, I sit down with Mike Bourgeois to talk about servant leadership, volunteerism, and what happens when you choose to give back in seasons that feel chaotic or heavy. Mike shares the stories that shaped him, from Big Brothers Big Sisters to Make-A-Wish, to building a skate park that brought kids together after COVID, and even supporting projects that create sustainable change through access to clean water and resources. This conversation is not about being perfect or saving the world. It's about remembering that when you lead with humility, listen deeply, and show up with real intention, you change lives, including your own. How giving back helps regulate fear and brings you back to peace The unexpected way volunteer leadership strengthens your leadership at work Why serving without ego creates real community impact and lasting fulfillment If you have been feeling restless, disconnected, or caught in the noise of the world, this episode will remind you what is still true. Purpose is often found in action. Subscribe and listen to Season 8, Episode 2 now, and let this be your reminder that service is not an extra thing. It is a path back to clarity.

Murrow Award–winning journalist Cristina Mendonsa joins Lyndsay to unpack authentic leadership storytelling, editorial trust, and radical relevance in an AI-driven world.   If you are a founder, executive, communicator, or brand leader trying to break through noise without sacrificing integrity, this episode is essential listening.   About  @CristinaMendonsa  Cristina Mendonsa is an Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award–winning journalist, filmmaker, and media strategist whose work spans investigative journalism, broadcast news, documentary film, and brand storytelling.   She is the founder of Mendonsa Media, a production and consulting firm creating purpose-driven narratives for nonprofits, media outlets, and mission-driven organizations nationwide.   Her latest documentary, Sacred Texts of War, is currently airing on PBS stations across the country and screening at film festivals nationwide.   Key Leadership Themes   • Authentic Leadership • Leadership Storytelling • Editorial Integrity • Radical Relevance • AI vs Human Communication • Purpose-Driven Leadership • Owning Your Voice   Socials: Website: www.mendonsamedia.com Instagram: @cmendonsa LinkedIn: @cristinamendonsa   Summary:   In this episode, Emmy and Edward R.

Grok says: “In episode 353 of the Randumb Thoughts podcast, host Darren O’Neill delivers a heartfelt, no-holds-barred tribute to NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr., the Intimidator, marking 25 years since his tragic death in the 2001 Daytona 500—a moment that forever changed the sport. From Earnhardt’s record-tying 7 Winston Cup championships and 76 wins to his hard-charging, bumper-to-bumper style that earned him the nickname “Ironhead,” Darren dives into what made Dale the true north of NASCAR and why the sport hasn’t fully recovered. You’ll hear the emotional story of his long-awaited 1998 Daytona 500 victory (thanks to a lucky penny from a Make-A-Wish kid and a pit road high-five line from every competitor), plus rare glimpses of the man behind the black No. 3: secret acts of generosity, like surprise checks, new cowboy boots, brown-bag cash for a church parking lot, and free plane rides. Darren contrasts the gritty, moonshine-running outlaw roots of NASCAR with today’s more corporate vibe, arguing for a return to raw swagger, F-bombs, and burnt-rubber excitement. This episode is a must-listen for NASCAR fans, racing history buffs, or anyone who loves larger-than-life characters—especially timely with the 25th anniversary reflections sweeping the sport in 2026. Hit play now and relive why Dale Earnhardt remains bigger than the game itself.

Hello to you listening in Stellenbosch, South Africa!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.It's a tradition to light the candles on a birthday cake and say, Make a wish! Blow out the candles!Where did this tradition begin? Maybe it's true or maybe it isn't, but as the story goes the ancient Greeks in the time of Zeus brought round-shaped cakes adorned with lit candles when they visited the temple of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the moon. The Romans called her Diana. As you can imagine, the lit candles made the round cakes glow like the moon. Others believed that the smoke from the candles carried the wishes and prayers heavenward where they would be granted - in time - although not always in the form they were expected.  Practical Tip: What Birthday Wishes of yours might have come true but not in the form they were expected? When it's your birthday light the candles, make a wish and expect the unexpected will again come true for you. Birthday wishes are like that! Guaranteed!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Sibling loss runs far deeper than many people realize. When a child loses a sibling, they lose not only shared memories of the past, but also the future they imagined growing up together. For bereaved parents, this grief can be especially painful to witness—because sibling loss is rarely talked about and often misunderstood. Siblings who lose a brother or sister are often called the forgotten grievers. While much of the support and acknowledgment rightly centers on parents, surviving children may feel overlooked, unsure where their grief belongs, or hesitant to express their pain. Many parents are left wondering how to best support their children while navigating their own overwhelming loss. In this episode, Laura is joined by two guests who have each experienced the profound loss of two siblings. They also share a unique family connection as father and daughter-in-law. Together, they offer honest insight into what sibling loss truly feels like, what grieving children often carry silently, and how parents can gently and intentionally support their surviving children through the loss of a brother or sister. Whether you are a parent seeking to better understand your child's grief, or someone wanting to acknowledge the often unseen pain of sibling loss, this conversation offers compassion, clarity, and hope for walking this road together. Bobby is married to his wife, Amy, and together they have four adult children. He serves in the Air Force and lives in the country near Wichita, Kansas and is the Founder of Sibling Lifeline. Bobby is deeply committed to service both in uniform and in the community. He volunteers with Make-A-Wish, the Wichita Children's Home, and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). He is also actively involved in leading fellow Airmen into the local community through various youth outreach events. In his personal time, Bobby enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking trails, and playing sports. He carries the memory of his two brothers, Robert and Carl Bisterfeldt, both in Heaven, which continues to shape his compassion for others and his dedication to serving those navigating grief and loss. Gabby is married to her husband, Caleb, and together they share life with their two amazing cats, Miles and Willow, along with their dog Murphy. She works in business management and lives in Edmond, Oklahoma. Gabby is the Co-Founder of Sibling Lifeline. Gabby enjoys spending time with family and friends, running, and traveling. She has a deep passion for serving others and volunteers with several nonprofit organizations. Having both a brother and a sister in Heaven, Caleb Lillis and Jessicca Haveman, Gabby brings compassion, empathy, and lived understanding alongside those navigating grief and loss.

Episode 317 of the Medic2Medic Podcast, Steve sits down with longtime EMS leader, educator, and U.S. Army veteran T. J. Bishop for a grounded conversation on rural EMS, leadership, education, and service. T.J. serves as the Assistant Chief of Operations and Training for San Juan Island EMS, overseeing response and education. With more than 30 years spanning civilian EMS, military medicine, and healthcare education, TJ shares hard-earned lessons on training an entire system, leading in resource-limited environments, and building programs that last.A Powerful Family StoryToward the end of the episode, TJ shares a deeply personal story about his family, specifically his son Andrew, who has special needs, and his incredible Make-A-Wish journey to become a U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. It's a moment that captures the heart of this episode: service, resilience, and what truly matters.

What if the life you want didn't require a college degree—just grit, vision, and the courage to bet on yourself? In this episode of The Root of All Success, I sit down with Ken Rusk, best-selling author of Blue Collar Cash, founder of Rusk Industries (a nine-figure construction company), and host of the Comfort, Peace, and Freedom podcast. Ken started digging ditches at just 15 years old—and never stopped designing a life on his own terms. We dive deep into: Why the belief “you must go to college to succeed” is one of the biggest lies we tell young people How blue-collar skills are creating the next generation of millionaires Why freedom, not money, is the real definition of success How empowering your people—not controlling them—unlocks massive growth Why AI will enhance, not replace, skilled trades How to design a life built around comfort, peace, and freedom (your version, not someone else's) If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or someone questioning the traditional path to success, this conversation will challenge how you think about work, wealth, and fulfillment.

In this episode of The World of Wishes Podcast we meet wish alumnus Lauren Potter. A top junior Olympian at 13, Lauren was a relentless competitor—until a rare, unnamed autoimmune disease left her gasping for breath. After months in Boston Children's Hospital and six rounds of chemotherapy, she chose hope over fear. When her doctor recommended Make‑A‑Wish, Lauren celebrated her recovery with an active, adventurous wish: surfing her first wave on Waikiki Beach, ATV trails through Kualoa Ranch, ziplining across thousand‑foot valleys, and a sunset on the North Shore that felt like peace. Years later, she committed to Yale volleyball, mentored other pulmonary patients, thanked her wish sponsors from the stage, and found her career intersecting with our Miami home—the Finker‑Frenkel Wish House—bringing her journey full circle. In this episode, Lauren shares how positivity, family, and a single wish can fuel a decade of momentum—and why she proudly wears “Wish Kid” as a badge of honor.

Story Transcript:Ca: Des del pis 8 de l'Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, les llums de Nadal brillantaven.En: From the 8th floor of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, the Christmas lights glittered.Ca: Era una nit freda d'hivern, però a dins la sala d'espera de pediatria tot intentava semblar acollidor.En: It was a cold winter night, but inside the pediatric waiting room, everything tried to seem welcoming.Ca: Núria, amb el seu somriure atent, caminava pel passadís.En: Núria, with her attentive smile, walked down the corridor.Ca: Faltaven pocs dies per Nadal i l'hospital es veia més buit amb els companys gaudint de les vacances.En: There were only a few days left until Christmas, and the hospital seemed emptier with the colleagues enjoying their holidays.Ca: Els infants, però, encara delicats, passaven el Nadal aquí.En: The children, however, still delicate, spent Christmas here.Ca: Oriol, amb només set anys, estava assegut sobre el seu llit hospitalari.En: Oriol, only seven years old, was sitting on his hospital bed.Ca: Dibuixava estrelles i arbres de Nadal amb els llapis de colors que Núria li havia portat.En: He was drawing stars and Christmas trees with the colored pencils that Núria had brought him.Ca: Havia passat per una operació i, com tots els infants, només volia tornar a casa.En: He had undergone an operation and, like all children, just wanted to go home.Ca: Sentia enyorança.En: He felt homesick.Ca: El soroll del carrer l'omplia de records d'anteriors Nadals, sempre plens d'alegria i dolços.En: The noise from the street filled him with memories of past Christmases, always full of joy and sweets.Ca: Un matí, mentre Núria portava la safata amb l'esmorzar, va veure la tristesa en els ulls d'Oriol.En: One morning, while Núria brought the breakfast tray, she saw the sadness in Oriol's eyes.Ca: "Hem de fer alguna cosa especial per ell i els altres nens," va pensar.En: "We have to do something special for him and the other children," she thought.Ca: Va decidir organitzar una festa de Nadal, però l'hospital estava sota mínims i els recursos escassejaven.En: She decided to organize a Christmas party, but the hospital was running at minimum capacity and resources were scarce.Ca: Amb determinació, Núria va parlar amb els seus col·legues.En: With determination, Núria spoke with her colleagues.Ca: Tots acordaren ajudar.En: They all agreed to help.Ca: Van decorar el passadís amb flocs de neu de paper fets a mà i un petit arbre de plàstic.En: They decorated the hallway with handmade paper snowflakes and a small plastic tree.Ca: Els voluntaris van oferir-se a preparar activitats i, fins i tot, va aconseguir una visita especial: un Pare Noel disposat a repartir somriures.En: Volunteers offered to prepare activities and she even managed to arrange a special visit: a Santa Claus willing to spread smiles.Ca: La vigília de Nadal, Oriol encara estava trist.En: On Christmas Eve, Oriol was still sad.Ca: Volia ser a casa amb la seva família.En: He wanted to be home with his family.Ca: Núria es va apropar i li va dir: "Tinc una sorpresa per a tu, Oriol.En: Núria approached him and said, "I have a surprise for you, Oriol."Ca: " Aquella tarda, mentre les llums s'apagaven al voltant de Barcelona, van obrir les portes de la sala.En: That afternoon, as the lights dimmed around Barcelona, they opened the doors to the room.Ca: Els nens van veure el Pare Noel arribar amb un sac ple de regals.En: The children saw Santa Claus arrive with a sack full of gifts.Ca: La música va començar a sonar i les rialles ompliren l'espai.En: Music started playing and laughter filled the space.Ca: Oriol va veure com els ulls de Núria brillaven quan tots van començar a cantar nadales.En: Oriol saw Núria's eyes shine when everyone began to sing Christmas carols.Ca: Aquella nit, va adonar-se que aquells a l'hospital eren ara la seva família.En: That night, he realized that those in the hospital were now his family.Ca: Envoltat de salutacions càlides i la mà de Núria estrenyent la seva, va somriure per primer cop des de feia dies.En: Surrounded by warm greetings and Núria's hand holding his, he smiled for the first time in days.Ca: El seu cor es va omplir d'alegria.En: His heart filled with joy.Ca: Amb la festa acabada, Núria sentí una pau interior.En: With the party over, Núria felt a sense of inner peace.Ca: Va veure com fer feliç els nens li retornava també felicitat.En: She saw how making the children happy also brought happiness back to her.Ca: Les parets de l'hospital, aquella nit, es van transformar en la llar més càlida del món.En: The walls of the hospital, that night, transformed into the warmest home in the world.Ca: I així, la nit de Nadal es va convertir en una vetllada màgica que Oriol recordaria per sempre.En: And thus, Christmas Eve became a magical evening that Oriol would remember forever.

But through it all, she held onto hope—and when her doctor referred her to Make-A-Wish, Courtney dared to dream big. Courtney shares how she wished for an unforgettable family trip to Australia, where she swam in the Great Barrier Reef, explored the Outback, and rediscovered joy with her loved ones. Now more than a decade later, she reflects on the lasting impact of that experience, the strength it gave her, and why she continues to give back as a passionate ambassador for Make-A-Wish. This is a story of resilience and the impact of a wish fulfilled. With touching stories, raw emotion, and a genuine heart for service, Alex reveals why she calls Make-A-Wish “her baby”—and how each wish leaves a lasting mark not just on the lives of the children, but on hers as well.

A Make-A-Wish That Turned Into a Gift for OthersWhen Karina's Make-A-Wish moment arrived, she didn't ask for a trip or a celebrity meet-and-greet. Instead she asked to create a day for other sick kids — a place where they could forget hospitals and treatments for a while. Make-A-Wish marked Karina's request as their historic 500,000th wish and worked with partners to turn it into a virtual “camp” experience so many children could participate and feel seen. Karina's wish became a gift that multiplied: she received her wish, and countless other kids received joy, connection, and a break from illness — a powerful example of gratitude that gives back.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

He founded Shift4 Payments in 1999 at age 16, growing it into a leading integrated payment processing company that went public in 2020, handling transactions for a third of U.S. restaurants and hotels. An accomplished aviator with over 7,000 flight hours, Isaacman set a world speed record for circumnavigating the globe in a light jet in 2009 and founded Draken International in 2012, the world's largest private air force providing adversary air support.

He advocates for advancing human spaceflight, public-private partnerships in aerospace, and philanthropy, including support for Make-A-Wish and veteran causes through his Polaris Program.
