Boris Kievsky runs dotorgstrategy.com which has a mission of making the world a better place by helping nonprofits harness the power of storytelling and technology to find and activate more heroes for their cause.

Boris immigrated to the US as a young boy from the Ukraine.  Through his journey of assimilating to the US he learned how important the concept of identity was.  This helped him fall in love with 2 areas that still play a role in his life today: story telling  and using technology to help connect to people.

Boris shares his journey from growing up in New York, going to school in Pittsburg, Miami and London, and finding his place in the world.  As a professional actor Boris is a gifted story teller and that is on full display during the interview.

Boris' life is a great example of following your passions and developing a sense of purpose that feeds those passions as well as helps make the world a better place.

Join Brent and Dan Mendat on a replay from one of the first episodes.  Dan was literally cruising through life in Northeast Ohio as a truck driver and sailing with his wife on the weekends. When health challenges from driving truck and a family tragedy struck he knew something had to change.

During a vacation to Southwest Florida he and his wife took a 4 hour sailing cruise. A chance comment by the skipper of the boat planted the seed of a different life. Dan and his wife Dianne decided to take the jump and left Ohio to pursue a life where they follow their passion for sailing and be the captain of their own life.

Join Brent and Dan as we talk with about the journey so far, what life is like running your own small business and the joys of getting to do what you love every day.
