Welcome to the Causereaction Podcast. After more than 20 years in nonprofit, issue-based work, I’ve met incredible leaders. In 30- to 40-minute segments, I uncover their stories, explore what keeps them up at night, and deepen our connection as humans.  It’s easy to talk about things outside ourselves, but harder to be truly vulnerable and reveal who we are to strangers. As you listen, you’ll find insights, resilience, and reminders to recenter your own values.   Listen, subscribe, and add your voice to these extraordinary conversations.
