Welcome to the 200th episode of The Do Gooders Podcast. It feels wild to say that. Over some five years, I have interviewed hundreds of authors, academics, experts, people doing the work and people whose lives have been transformed by it.   They’ve brought so many good ideas and new ways to think about this goal of ours to keep on doing good.   I wanted this episode, number 200, to be a special one. To look around and reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going. So today, I want to invite you to reflect with me as we try something different. We are going to listen to the very first episode of The Do Gooders Podcast together. Think of it as a listening party, if you will.  I’m going to drop in throughout the episode and share what I’m thinking and feeling as I’m listening with you. And together, we’ll unpack what has changed and what has stayed the same through the years. So to set the stage, I recorded this episode in mid-2019 with Commissioners Dave and Sharron Hudson. At the time, the pair were national leaders of The Salvation Army. Whether you are hearing episode number one for the first time ever, or this is the first time in a long time, just imagine me sitting next to you listening too. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.
