At 25 years old, while many young people are still trying to way their way in life, MK Hill made one of the most mature decisions you can make—to foster a child.
Today, at just 36 years old, the single woman has fostered 67 children, adopted six, and has built a home where kids who have experienced unimaginable trauma can find safety, love, and belonging.
Even if we never reach MK’s level of righteous craziness, her story will show you how we’re far more capable than we allow ourselves to believe. And support foster and adoptive families like hers.

We’re bringing back Shop Talk #3. Because it’s been years and it’s beautiful!
What would make someone work an entire weekend without pay?
When Coach Bill Courtney’s lumber company was on the brink of collapse after 9/11, one employee refused to go home. For 72 straight hours, Sam Quinn—a former Marine living in a halfway house—worked alongside Bill to save the business, asking for nothing in return.
That weekend changed both of their lives.
In this deeply personal Shop Talk episode, Bill reflects on the friendship that followed, the leadership lessons Sam taught him, and why the truest measure of success isn’t money or titles—it’s the lives we help transform.
Dan Jarvis came home from Afghanistan carrying wounds that didn’t show up on any medical chart. In this episode, he breaks down what trauma actually does to the brain – why it hijacks your responses, why willpower alone can’t fix it, and how understanding the neuroscience behind your pain is the first step to healing it.
Dan built Healing the Hero, a nonprofit that has helped over 18,000 people reclaim their lives! This is a conversation about what it really takes to heal—for both veterans and civilians. It might just help you or someone you love.

If every part of a community doesn’t have the opportunity to flourish, the community can’t flourish. Violence will penetrate your safety and all of us will suffer. Greg Spillyards felt convicted to shift from transactional real estate that made him more money to projects focused on transforming Memphis’ forgotten places. And his story will show you how to make a deeper impact without leaving your career.

Most people don’t find purpose after losing a child—Joe Herr did. After his 4 year-old son died from complications of having cerebral palsy, he started Logan’s Heart and Smiles, a nonprofit that’s helped 450 other families with disabilities by building wheelchair ramps and home modifications —and showing us how service can bring light to the darkest corners of our lives (and the lives of others).
