Meet Thomas and Kelley. They believe food binds us. When COVID-19 hit Florida, their nonprofit, Feeding Tampa Bay, went into turbo innovation mode.  They're rethinking food delivery and putting mission above ego to join forces with a partner organization to provide both a greater impact and delivering a meal with dignity and respect. It's an excellent case study in what 'to do' to see your mission flourishes during a pandemic. And they've got 15,000 new donors in the last six months to prove it!

Meet Kari Watkins. The 28 year old was heading out the door to an MBA class when the unthinkable happened miles from her house. A bombing had been reported in downtown OKC. The day was April 19, 1995. And from that point on, Kari would find herself on a 25 year journey to building one of the world's most beautiful memorial and embracing creativity and authenticity to teach the next generation about the effects of terrorism. She talks marathon fundraising, a Conscience Committee (jaw-droppingly brilliant idea) and gives us a little insight to her buddy, President Bill Clinton.
