Making An Impact with Tammy Tibbetts & Christen Brandt It's Why We're Here: Finding the Path to Purpose

The two women joining Steve on this episode of the podcast KNOW their purpose and have built a non-profit around it! Tammy Tibbetts and Christen Brandt are authors and Co-Founders of the Non-profit organization She’s the First. What started over Greek food and a social media campaign has turned into a global movement to give girls access to education. In this episode, our guests Christen and Tammy talk about their backgrounds working for magazines, pivotal moments as they worked on building their non-profit full-time, and what brought them to write a book. A book that would give a plan to even more people who can contribute to making a better world for girls in their own homes and communities.
