Why this Blog Exists
My Purpose in life, and with this blog, is to inspire people to action and Live Well. Each week I showcase the Thought Leaders, Activists, and Social entrepreneurs making a difference today and creating a more sustainable and compassionate tomorrow. I distribute it online through all the popular podcast apps and related websites.
VISION
My wife and I started SpreadPeace.org in 20012. Just as the name implies, its purpose is to inspire people to be kind and compassionate. Due to a generous donor that has paid all our operating costs, every dollar donated to SpreadPeace.org goes to help our homeless friends. As of today, we have delivered more than 700,000 meals nationwide, distributed more than 150,000 pairs of socks to shelters throughout Southern Nevada, and made a whole lot of friendships with people without a home, volunteers, and generous donors that want to make a difference. We hope to inspire others to start a Spread Peace Chapter in their community.
I hope you explore SpreadPeace.org and follow our Homeless Friend Campaign on Instagram and Facebook.
