As this is an episode that's a little bit different from our other episodes (I don't think to date we've interviewed a person who's currently running for office), we'd like to make sure we are very clear about the following:  We are NOT endorsing any candidates in this episode.  We are grateful that Trinidad Rodriguez, who is running for Mayor of Denver, was willing to connect with us to give us an inside look at what it's like running for office, to expand on our civics engagement series.  Again, we are NOT endorsing any candidates in this episode.   This episode was also unique in that we got an inside look into what a political campaign looks like, marrying the personal “why” (why we care about certain issues, for example, due to lived experience) with our own individual and collective abilities to make change in the world.   It was also very humanizing about a process that we previously thought was elevated above us, inaccessibly locked away in a black box.  That's not true.  Any one of us, with enough experience, support, drive, internal strength, and vision, can run for office.  And as you listen, we hope you find your own takeaway - not only about running for civic office but about the power you DO have to make change and shape your own communities on a daily basis.   What to listen for:  Trini's thoughts on what it takes to actually run for office, and what / who you need to surround yourself with The importance of breaking out of our silos, and asking those affected what they think will be most helpful to them Advice on what we can all do to be more engaged – that is, follow up on our votes.  Know the outcomes of what you voted on, and hold leaders and politicians accountable to implement the policies that were decided upon by the citizens, with integrity. About Trini: Trinidad Rodriguez is bringing a new approach to moving Denver forward. Growing up with a single mom in West Denver, his family had to overcome some challenges like housing insecurity, mental health and addiction issues, and violent crime. The city and its services supported them through the hard times, and that inspired Trinidad to pay it forward and continue to fight for Denver.   Trinidad has spent the last 23 years working in finance and volunteering with various local civic and nonprofit organizations like the Downtown Denver Partnership, Denver Housing Authority, Blueprint Denver, Rose Community Foundation, Metropolitan State University of Denver Foundation, and Urban Peak. He is a public finance expert who knows how to leverage and build public and private networks to create public-serving infrastructure. He has financed schools, affordable housing communities, and health clinics that have served tens of thousands of Denverites. This sets him apart from the other candidates.   Now he's running for mayor to make sure that Denver is a city where every Denverite can achieve their version of success, regardless of the neighborhood they're in. He is a proven leader with bold plans to address Denver's biggest issues. Trini understands that we can't expect different results if we continue to try the same approaches.   More details about his background and experience can be found here.

How Family Philanthropy Can Strengthen your Family and Your Family Business What you'll learn:  What is effective philanthropy and why does it matter to your family and its business?  How giving can benefit the family business as well as the causes you support?  Why “top down” philanthropy and “top down” succession planning are limited and not sustainable?  What are the top five skills the rising generations can learn from family philanthropy?  How can issues, such as lack of communication, differing values and lack of trust, that develop in the rising generations be lessened or potentially mitigated using family philanthropy as the focus for learning?      This week's guests: Deborah Goldstein    Principal, Enlightened Philanthropy* Deborah Goldstein, founder of Enlightened Philanthropy, is dedicated to guiding the next generation in giving.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~Melodie Beattie Overview Gratitude is the foundation of happiness. Practicing gratitude is like “going to the gym” for your emotional resilience. Lifting weights, yoga and jogging help keep up our strength, flexibility and endurance. Daily practices of gratitude and kindness build our mental fitness. In this podcast I speak with the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, Justin Kruger. We discuss how “gratitude in action” helps individuals and communities. Some daily practices we explore are: 1) Building a gratitude inventory through daily reflections or a Hope Kit. 2) Learning to give thanks freely, especially to those whose good work often goes unnoticed. 3) Giving yourself some grace and self-gratitude 4) Finding joy in intentional acts of kindness Justin Kruger About Justin Kruger Justin Kruger started a social enterprise — Project Helping in 2014 after years of regularly volunteering himself in the community. Justin realized the power that volunteering had in helping him to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts and wanted to share that experience with others. The non-profit improves emotional wellbeing and authentic community connection through what Justin has calls kyndfulness, or a daily practice of volunteering, intentional acts of kindness, and gratitude. Justin also founded Kyndhub, an online community that similarly encourages people to do kind things for one another, and Kyndkit, a service that delivers volunteer experiences to communities and businesses — making it simple and fun to be kind. Justin also serves on the Marketing Committee of the Colorado Mental Wellness Network and volunteers at Urban Peak, a nonprofit working to help youth exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives.

20–40% of youth experiencing homelessness also identify as LGBTQ+, which is significantly higher than the estimated number of people who identify as LGBTQ in the overall population of the United States (approximately 3-5%).    Urban Peak Ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives. Urban Peak is the only non-profit organization in Denver that provides a full convergence of services for youth ages 15 through 24 experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming homeless.   Mike Orr and Bryan Fleming's Denver Pride Kick-off Party has raised over 45,000 for Urban Peak over the past 3 years... they hope to raise that number to 75,000 with this week's event.

Brad Allen grew up in a religious cult and from a young age knew he was gay. He was out to his family, but he lived by the belief that being gay was something that he could change. He eventually went to work in a church after getting his Masters in Divinity and loved his work there until he was fired. His firing led him to finally embrace being gay, which resulted in him being ostracized from the community he had built around him. This ultimately resulted in him becoming suicidal. Today we will talk about how he grew from this darkest moment in his life, the changes he made because of it, how it led him to his current role as an Education Specialist at Urban Peak in Denver, CO work with homeless youth, and how it gave him the power to live his compete and authentic life.  Featuring I Believe from The Book of Mormon musical
