The Ripple Effect Project

John Patch and Tim Roper

The Ripple Effect Project is a podcast about meaningful conversations, human connection, and the people creating positive change in their communities. Hosted by John Patch and Tim Roper, each episode features real conversations with nonprofit leaders, community builders, business leaders, volunteers, and people who are simply trying to make a difference. John and Tim believe that sometimes the most important thing we can do is sit down, listen, and learn from one another. Their conversations explore why people serve, the challenges they face, the lessons they have learned, and the people and resources that help create lasting change. The Ripple Effect Project is built on a simple idea: Listening creates connection. Connection creates possibility. Possibility creates action. Every conversation can create a ripple. One story can inspire someone. One connection can open a door. One idea can lead to action that reaches far beyond the original conversation. This is more than a podcast about nonprofits. It is about people, relationships, service, community, and the ripple each of us can create. Join John and Tim as they meet people making a difference, discover the resources and connections that help communities thrive, and explore what it means to create the next ripple. The Ripple Effect Project is sponsored by Miingl and Team Trust Productions.

    Finding Healing Through Connection | Lindsay Stone & Nick Scharlow | Life Align Recovery Ranch

    Send us Fan Mail What if healing doesn't always happen in a traditional setting? What if sometimes it starts with a rescued animal, a quiet barn, a little patience, and a place where you finally feel like you belong? In this episode of The Ripple Effect Project, we sit down with Lindsay Stone and Nick Scharlow, Co-Founders of Life Align Recovery Ranch, for an honest conversation about recovery, trauma, compassion, and the power of human connection. Lindsay and Nick share how their personal journeys through recovery, difficult life experiences, and adversity inspired them to create a welcoming environment where people and animals can find healing together. We also explore Nick's work with Life Align Inc., supporting individuals experiencing homelessness and substance use challenges, and how both organizations are working to create opportunities for people to rediscover their purpose and sense of belonging. One of the most powerful parts of our conversation is a question worth thinking about: Why do we often find it easier to show compassion to an animal that has experienced trauma than to a person struggling with addiction, homelessness, or difficult circumstances? We discuss: How personal struggles can become a purpose to help others.The connection between rescued animals and people who have experienced trauma.Why healing looks different for everyone.The importance of compassion, dignity, and second chances.How communities can create more opportunities for people to feel seen, valued, and connected.A message worth remembering: People are not their worst decisions, their addiction, their trauma, or their circumstances. Everyone deserves the opportunity to find connection, purpose, and healing. Join us for a conversation that challenges how we see others and reminds us that sometimes the smallest act of compassion can make the biggest difference.

    From Vision to Reality: Building a Stronger Foundation for Nonprofits with Anthony Jarr | 501c3Meard

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when we combine relationships, data, strategy, and AI to rethink the way philanthropy works? In this special episode of The Ripple Effect Project, Tim Roper sits down with Anthony Jarrard, founder of 501c3Me Non-Profit Solutions, to explore the changing world of philanthropy and what Anthony calls “philanthropy intelligence.” Anthony brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With experience in nonprofit strategy, fundraising, membership growth, and organizational development, he understands the challenges nonprofits face when trying to communicate their value and demonstrate impact. He also brings the perspective of the funder, asking how donors and philanthropic organizations can make more informed decisions about where their resources can create the greatest impact. Tim and Anthony talk about the art of the approach, the importance of relationships between nonprofits and funders, what nonprofits often misunderstand about philanthropy, and why data and measurable outcomes are becoming increasingly important. They also explore Anthony’s work developing an AI driven platform designed to help funders evaluate nonprofit opportunities and better align resources with measurable outcomes. Can technology make philanthropy smarter without making it less human? Can better information actually lead to stronger relationships and greater community impact? Those are just some of the questions explored in this conversation. This is a special episode recorded to accommodate Anthony’s schedule, so John Patch is sitting this one out. Tim also takes a moment to recognize John and Miingl for their continued support of The Ripple Effect Project. Miingl is the gracious sponsor of The Ripple Effect Project and the platform used to host these live conversations.
