00:17:09
Today Patrick is joined by Matthew Carlson & Jeremy Jensen and their unique nonprofit story.
Fix It Forward Ministry's goal is to remove the transportation barrier for needy members of our community, thus helping enable them to be independent and self-sufficient. This is accomplished in two ways. First, by providing free car repairs to needy individuals--to help keep their vehicles on the road and safe. Second, by repairing donated vehicles and giving them to needy members in our community who do not have a vehicle or whose vehicle is beyond repair. They utilize volunteer labor, discounted parts, and charitable donations to cover the costs of repairs.
All work is performed at Fix It Forward Auto Care after business hours and on weekends. The same faces you see everyday at Fix It Forward Auto Care are the same faces that run the Ministry. Some serve on the Board Of Directors while others provide leadership, guidance and technical assistance to the teams of volunteers.

00:18:34
Today Patrick welcomes Jenny Schuster & Michelle Warren, Co-Founders of Matthew's Voice Project.
Matthew’s Voice Project (MVP) is a registered non-profit 501c3 that focuses its efforts on assisting students in our public schools who are identified as experiencing homelessness. Much of MVP’s focus is on unaccompanied youth (identified by the school system as living on their own with very little to no support), providing them with the support and encouragement they need to complete high school and graduate.
As of December 2021 area district liaisons had approximately 438 homeless students combined in our local area; families and unaccompanied youth living in shelters, cars, hotels, campgrounds, garages or doubled up with family and friends.
While our public school systems receive federal grants to administer to the needs of homeless students, their day-to-day needs are not met through this program. This is where MVP steps in to help.

00:36:02
In 2022, Workforce Development is more important than ever. Kate Markin Coleman joins Patrick to tell us all why and where nonprofits go from here.
Kate Markin Coleman has spent decades leading organizational and large-scale change in the private and social sectors. She began her career in business, transitioning to the social sector when she and her colleagues sold the fintech company they led. It was an opportunity to marry two mindsets. As EVP and chief strategist for the national YMCA movement, Kate established herself as an expert in pacing and sequencing change and using networks and stakeholder engagement to scale impact.
Kate’s years in the nonprofit world gave her an abiding belief in its power to do good. She also observed the many ways in which the sector underperforms its potential. First, as a leadership fellow at Harvard University and now in her board and advisory engagements, Kate advocates for the adoption of practices that enhance outcomes. She focuses on process/program improvement, cross-sector collaboration, analytics, and building equity into workforce development. She has written two books on these practices with her spouse Stephen Goldsmith. They are still married.

The Official Do Good Better Podcast Season Six Ep17 Founder & CEO of Foster Village Chrystal Smith
00:14:59
Today Patrick welcomes Chrystal Smith, Founder & CEO of Foster Village in Austin, Texas.
As a licensed foster parent, adoptive parent, and survivor of child abuse, Chrystal Smith saw the gaps in the system and the needs that were not being met, both for caregivers and for children intersecting with the child welfare system. It also helped her see how the families and children with consistent and therapeutic networks of support were the ones who ultimately had the most success in growth and redemption, inspiring the idea for Foster Village.

The Official Do Good Better Podcast Season Six Ep18 Best-Selling Authors Brian Moran and Michael Lennington Discuss "The 12 Week Year"
00:42:13
Today Patrick welcomes Brian Moran and Michael Lennington, authors of the New York Times Bestseller, The 12 Week Year, the guide to shortening your execution cycle down from one year to twelve weeks.
Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a twelve-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.
Explains how to leverage the power of a 12 week year to drive improved results in any area of your life
Offers a how-to book for both individuals and organizations seeking to improve their execution effectiveness
Authors are leading experts on execution and implementation
Turn your organization's idea of a year on its head, and speed your journey to success!

Love Never Fails: Improving the Lives of Vulnerable Children & Orphans in India | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #204
00:16:17
Love Never Fails International began in 2009 when founder, Dr. Johnathan Kraus, felt the calling to leave his teaching career in NJ, USA to go to India and help children suffering in the slums.
This all started after watching the movie Slumdog Millionaire with friends from Church.
After God spoke to Johnathan's heart he continued his teaching position in NJ, but would return home each day and fall on his knees crying out to the Lord in tears to open a door to India where he could reach suffering children and provide a solution to poverty. At the time, Johnathan had no connections to make his dream a reality. With much fasting and praying God began to open doors to India and Johnathan moved there in 2010 with passion, love, and a God size vision to see many children in India set free from poverty and come to Jesus.

00:14:46
Chelsea's Closet inspires hope and healing to seriously-ill children through therapeutic dress up and play. Their Executive Director & Founder, Alison Hicks, joins Patrick today.
Chelsea Hicks was an amazing little girl who loved life. In April 2007, Chelsea was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilms’ tumor cancer, involving her right kidney, lymph nodes and lungs. She was just three years old at the time. Her constant companion during 13 surgeries, 20 months of chemo, and 9 doses of radiation in her 22 months of treatment was “E-E,” her beloved stuffed pink monkey. Despite all of her treatment and medication, Chelsea always found an energy and determination to bounce back. Chelsea’s smiling face and zest for life was contagious. Chelsea loved to dress up, have tea parties and parades while on the oncology floor.
On February 20, 2009, Chelsea lost her courageous battle. She was only five years old. Those who knew her will forever be grateful for the hours of fun and play that she inspired with her impish grin and infectious laughter. She will never be forgotten and they continue to honor her by helping other kids fighting serious illnesses with The Chelsea Hicks Foundation and Chelsea’s Closet program.

Today's 5-Star Guest is "hub of inspiration" Bessi Graham.
Bessi Graham is an award-winning entrepreneur with over 20 years’ experience working with business owners, governments, and large funding bodies to bring “doing good” and “making money” back together. From the grassroots of sitting in the dirt working with business owners in the Pacific Islands to the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Bessi has seen it all and brings an unparalleled perspective on what makes change happen.
Working with people who have “made it” but haven’t found fulfillment, she helps them put their Time, Talent and Treasure to work in ways that align with their values and allow them to create a legacy they can be proud of. Bessi teaches people to quiet the noise of the demands and opinions of others and hear their own voice more clearly so they can contribute from a place of authenticity. She removes the frustration and pressure that comes from living someone else’s idea of success and replaces it with a sense of flow and fulfillment that can only come when you tap into the fullness of who you are and who you are becoming.
