Hope Is My Middle Name

We're striking out across the country in search of hope, talking with everyday Americans finding innovative, often unconventional ways to build resilience, build community, build hope. Whether designing a town for the homeless, cleaning up boatloads of trash in the bayou, bringing folks out of incarceration and addiction, transforming coal mines into farmlands, or saving the planet to save our lives, these people remind us that we too can make a difference in our own unique way. I'm Kate Tucker, and HOPE is my middle name.

    The Unbreakable Bond: Service Dogs and Their Life-Saving Impact with Jennifer Arnold

    Educating dogs to change the world, that’s the work of Canine Assistants founded in 1991 by Jennifer Arnold, in the wake of her father’s unexpected death and her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at age 16. Fueled by legacy and limitation, Jennifer funded her scrappy startup with wide-ranging odd jobs and a donation bucket at the local Walmart. To date, the non-profit has placed over 3,000 service dogs with people who have mobility difficulties, Type 1 Diabetes, epilepsy/seizure disorders, and other special needs. Their Community Service Dogs provide therapy in Children's Hospitals for patients, families, and staff, and their Community Facilitators are helping scale their work across America.  Join us for poignant and heartwarming stories of superhero dogs who love us enough to save our lives, and learn a bit about the science behind their impressive capabilities. And if you’re looking for tips and tricks for your own pup, Jennifer Arnold shares her Bond-Based Approach to teaching dogs, which forgoes traditional training methods, focusing instead on the powerful bond between humans and our canine companions.  Visit HopeIsMyMiddleName.com for episode transcript, videos, and links to Jennifer Arnold and Canine Assistants.  If you liked this episode, listen next to Hope and Healing for Kids and Families Living with Autism: Dr. Theresa Hamlin, Hope Is My Middle Name season 4, episode 9.  Hosted and executive produced by Kate Tucker, Hope Is My Middle Name is a podcast by Consensus Digital Media in collaboration with Reasonable Volume.

    Empowering Art and Community In and Out of Prison: Rahsaan “New York” Thomas

    What if art could build a bridge from incarceration to liberation? For Rahsaan “New York” Thomas the road was long, but he turned a 55 to life prison sentence into an opportunity. Through art, he would empower fellow incarcerated artists to transcend the limits of their sentences, and maybe even one day walk free, like Rahsaan did in 2023.  Today Rahsaan directs Empowerment Avenue, a non-profit he founded while inside San Quentin and now runs on the outside, along with a myriad of creative endeavors including the San Quentin Film Festival, and his work on the Pulitzer-prize winning podcast, Ear Hustle.  Rahsaan takes us through his life like the skilled storyteller he is, from growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, to landing in prison in California, to finding his voice as an artist inside San Quentin, and running the New York Marathon as a free man, with a dream to empower art that fosters inclusivity, which he believes could ultimately heal the root causes of crime.  Join us for a transformative conversation on art as a lifeline to hope and lifelong community.  Find episode transcript and links for Rahsaan “New York” Thomas and Empowerment Avenue at HopeIsMyMiddleName.com  Photo of Rahsaan "New York" Thomas by Nigel Poor If you liked this episode, listen next to Landing a Life-Changing Job Out of Prison and Addiction with Kyle Wedge, Hope Is My Middle Name season 3, episode 4.  Hosted and executive produced by Kate Tucker, Hope Is My Middle Name is a podcast by Consensus Digital Media in collaboration with Reasonable Volume.

    A Tornado Destroyed Greensburg So They Rebuilt as America’s Greenest Town

    Growing up on a farm in Kansas, Bob Dixson never dreamed of being mayor. But when a tornado leveled 95% of his small town he came out of retirement and into rebuilding from the rubble, a thriving climate resilient community. Today Greensburg is America’s greenest town, powered entirely by renewable energy with smart infrastructure for water conservation, and the most LEED-certified buildings per capita in the US.   Hear the story of Greensburg, as Bob tells it, from the night the tornado took the roof off his house, to the example it is today of resilience, small town values, good ol’ Midwest pragmatism, and hope.

    Veterans Turning PTSD into Posttraumatic Growth with Boulder Crest’s Ken Falke

    Ken Falke loves jumping out of airplanes. As a 21-year veteran bomb disposal specialist in the U.S. Navy, he’s a high risk, high pressure kind of guy. But when a jump went bad at age 27, he found himself out of commission and staring down a discharge. At that moment, Ken faced a decision he says all trauma survivors must make – he chose to be a victor, not a victim.  What seemed like the end, held in it the seed of a transformative mission Ken would launch with his wife in 2010 to help veterans, first responders and their families trade PTSD for Posttraumatic Growth. Through Boulder Crest Foundation’s Warrior PATHH program, survivors learn to reframe their trauma and become experts in their own healing. Boulder Crest programs are free for the over 100,000 people they’ve served, they use zero meds, and Warrior PATHH is 5-7 times more effective than traditional approaches to PTSD.  Hear why Ken Falke is determined to transform mental healthcare across America, and how his experience in military special ops makes him the perfect man for the job. Find episode transcript, links for Ken Falke and Boulder Crest at HopeIsMyMiddleName.com  Listen next to Jon Turner: Veteran on a Life-Giving Mission, Hope Is My Middle Name season 1, episode 2.  Hosted and executive produced by Kate Tucker, Hope Is My Middle Name is a podcast by Consensus Digital Media in collaboration with Reasonable Volume.

  6. From Teen Motherhood to Saving Lives with Nurse-Family Partnership’s Maria Rush

    From Teen Motherhood to Saving Lives with Nurse-Family Partnership’s Maria Rush

    Sometimes it just takes a moment to change someone’s life. That’s what Maria Rush understands as a nurse advocating for mothers and babies in Cleveland, Ohio. Maria has a superhero-sized calling, born from a near-death experience during childbirth at the age of fifteen. She’s dedicated her life to saving mothers and their babies just like the nurse who took a moment to see what Maria truly needed on that delivery room table, and to speak life-giving, literally life-saving words.  America has one of the highest mortality rates for mothers and babies among developed nations. The infant mortality rate more than doubles for Black babies, and Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy related cause than White women. These statistics are on the mind of Maria Rush every morning as she goes to work for the Nurse-Family Partnership, a nation-wide program that helps first-time moms have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies, become knowledgeable and nurturing parents, achieve education and employment goals and provide their children with the best possible start in life. Join us for a powerful conversation on motherhood, breaking generational cycles, and the importance of community in caring for our children and families.

  7. Elevating Teachers and Their Exponential Impact with Nínive Calegari

    Elevating Teachers and Their Exponential Impact with Nínive Calegari

    Why aren’t we paying teachers for their exponential impact? We all have teachers who have made a difference in our lives and we might be surprised to learn how little they are compensated. In fact, 62% of parents advise against a career in education due to this wage gap. Teacher morale is the lowest in our lifetime. Yet we know that education is so important when it comes to ensuring the health of our economy, our democracy, and our very existence on this planet.  That’s why former social studies teacher Nínive Calegari started the Teacher Salary Project. She’s on a mission to make teaching the prestigious, financially viable and professionally exciting job that it can and should be. With her Mexican-American heritage and intergenerational perspective, Nínive inspires us to do better when it comes to fostering our country’s greatest asset, our young people. Join us for a powerful conversation on what the future could be if we step up and support our teachers. Find episode transcript, links and more about at Nínive Calegari at HopeIsMyMiddleName.com  Listen next to Building Bridges Across America: The American Exchange Project with David McCullough III on Hope Is My Middle Name season 4, episode 3.  Hosted and executive produced by Kate Tucker, Hope Is My Middle Name is a podcast by Consensus Digital Media in collaboration with Reasonable Volume.

  8. Building Bridges Across America: The American Exchange Project with David McCullough III

    Building Bridges Across America: The American Exchange Project with David McCullough III

    Do you think America is more divided than ever? Do you feel we’re more different than we are alike? What would happen if you took a free week-long trip to a community vastly different from your own? And then brought folks from that far off town to your neighborhood?  These are the questions we’re exploring on the new episode of Hope Is My Middle Name with the fabulous David McCullough III, co-founder and CEO of the American Exchange Project.  Through week-long summer youth exchanges, AEP invites high school seniors to experience life in communities far different from their own. These experiences foster connection, upend stereotypes, and restore a sense of ownership and pride of place as youth cross the threshold into independence.  It all started with a road trip David took in college, where he realized that Americans were less polarized than we might think, and that adventuring together could be an antidote to division. Fast forward just a few years after the launch of American Exchange Project and they’ve already sent over 1,000 students to 75 towns in 36 states.  David envisions the American Exchange Project as a civic coming of age ritual, something that will eventually become as intrinsic to the high school experience as the senior prom. And in Jonathan’s Haidt’s new book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, he references AEP as an antidote to anxiety.  Join Kate Tucker as she sits down with David McCullough III for a powerful conversation on bringing people together across divides, establishing a civic coming of age ritual, and trading anxiety for adventure. Find the video version of this podcast, along with episode transcript, links and more at HopeIsMyMiddleName.com  Listen next to Tim & Beth Reese: Building Small Town Resilience in West Virginia on Hope Is My Middle Name season 2, episode 3.  Hosted and executive produced by Kate Tucker, Hope Is My Middle Name is a podcast by Consensus Digital Media in collaboration with Reasonable Volume.
