People Helping People

People Helping People Live is a mission-driven podcast built on the belief that real change begins with real conversations. Through honest, intentional dialogue, we bring together everyday people, business owners, nonprofits, and community leaders to share stories, identify real needs, and build genuine relationships. One conversation at a time, we are creating a growing network of people who believe in showing up, giving back, and doing the work together. The impact we create doesn’t start with fundraising. It starts with connection. As our conversations grow into relationships and our relationships grow into community, meaningful action naturally follows. Our fundraising efforts and charitable initiatives are a byproduct of the trust, awareness, and momentum built through the podcast and the People Helping People network. To ensure transparency and real impact, we organize our work into chapters, each focused on a specific cause or need. Every chapter has a clear purpose, a defined goal, and a visible outcome—so our supporters can see exactly how their support is changing lives. People Helping People Live is not about charity for attention or causes without clarity. It’s about people helping people, in real time, with real stories, real solutions, and real results. This is change driven by conversation. This is community built on connection. This is People Helping People.

    Ep. 74 Creating Impact at Only 17 with Kady McKenna | People Helping People

    In this powerful and inspiring episode of People Helping People Live, Alexander J. sits down with Kady McKenna, Miss Orlando’s Teen, to talk about what it truly means to step into your purpose — without waiting for permission. At just 17 years old, Kady is already a nonprofit founder, environmental advocate, author, and leader focused on making a real impact. From launching an electronics recycling initiative to advocating for youth leadership and sustainability, she’s living proof that age does not limit impact. But this conversation goes deeper than accomplishments. Kady opens up about a life-changing moment many wouldn’t expect — undergoing a 12-level spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. Through that experience, she learned resilience, patience, and how to rebuild her identity when life doesn’t go according to plan. It’s a powerful reminder of how adversity can shape purpose. We also dive into: • Why young people are often underestimated — and why that needs to change • Turning passion into action at any age • Building confidence and leadership early in life • Using platforms like pageantry for real service and impact • The mindset shift: you don’t have to wait to make a difference — you can start now This episode is real, motivating, and a wake-up call to anyone holding themselves back. 🌐 Connect with Kady McKenna: Facebook: / missorlandosteen X (Twitter): http://x.com/EtreasureI Instagram (Kady): / kadymckennaa Instagram (Miss Orlando’s Teen): / missorlandosteenfl TikTok: / its.kady.mckenna 🎧 Real conversations.

Together, we dive into the realities of dual-military life, the unique differences between men’s and women’s experiences in the military, navigating marriage and family while serving, and what life truly looks like after the uniform comes off. The conversation is honest, reflective, and deeply human — touching on identity, purpose, and the long-lasting impact of service. This episode is real, grounding, and a reminder that military service doesn’t end when deployment does — it shapes families, futures, and the conversations we need to keep having. 🌐 Connect with Herms House Podcast: 🔗 All Links: https://linktr.ee/hermshousepodcast?u... 🎧 Real conversations with real people making a real impact. 📺 LIVE Fridays at 6PM MST 🎙️ Edited podcast releases every Tuesday at 6PM MST 🤝 Sponsors ✨ When people help people, service continues — in conversations, in families, and in the lives we build after the mission.
