5 MAG 2022 · Kelsey is the Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer of EverFree and formerly the Founder of Willow International. The last time we caught up with Kelsey was late 2020 when she focused purely on East Africa, specifically Uganda, and now she is partnered with 10,000 Windows focused on the Philippines, now known as Everfree. Most of Kelsey's work is overseas but both Kelsey and her co-Founder, Jeremy Floyd, are doing the work remotely from here in the U.S. (California and Tennessee) to address systemic issues and combine resources. Kelsey shares about students and about a local story here in Orange County of human trafficking! At the end of the podcast Kelsey describes how you can get involved to help the efforts.
28 APR 2022 · I had the pleasure of doing a podcast with Elizabeth Andrade, CEO of Family Assistance Ministries, talking about homelessness and food insecurity and pockets of poverty within South Orange County. Elizabeth describes her experience as CEO leading an organization that responded to a true crisis in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 and how they dealt with it, and described where the organization is today helping to acknowledge and educate individuals through State of the Family once a month. Elizabeth describes for us how the causes of homelessness for families is very different from homelessness for the individual. At the end of the podcast she shares how we can solve homelessness in our own community.
19 GEN 2022 · Joining Traci for today's podcast is Councilmember Matt Mahan from the City of San José, District 10 who is also running for Mayor. Councilmember Mahan shared his experiences growing up in Watsonville, California, through today and how he relates his work in the social sector to that in the private sector. Councilmember Mahan specifically compares and contrasts start-ups and venture capital to work in government. For instance, both sectors operate in environments of uncertainty and Matt helps propose some potential solutions for alleviating such within government. As part of Matt's work serving the public, he is extremely customer-centric much the same as businesses serve customers and clients. Matt highlights for us many of the questions citizens have for instance around "where does our money go?" and he shared about the 311 app that has been successful in San Jose as the initial step in performance measurement in a community that the public responded positively towards that others may want to learn more about, too.
Councilmember Mahan strongly advocates for a public sector environment that creates comprehensive measurement and analysis in the performance of their community that helps us identify what didn’t work in the system, and also what does work which gives us all as leaders to drive clarity, and an opportunity to empower ourselves to create better options.
8 DIC 2021 · In today’s podcast, we talk about how the federal government can utilize data to address the fiscal pressures it has encountered and how such data can be used to make better decisions surrounding what actions to take despite changes in leadership and administration over the last few years.
For those that find data to be too abstract, data is simply information. Traci talks about how
a specific framework and identified process used by The Mark helps to provide guidance with reference to how data or information is used and can help adapt to each federal agency’s needs to make decision-making and leadership easier.
23 SET 2021 · On this week's podcast, Traci is joined by two individuals who are familiar with the value of B Corps,Vicente Escriva and Diane Kaldany.
Diane shares that everything she does is driven by a big-picture philosophy of the world. Diane worked in Corporate, specifically in financial banking, and she did work for a Non-Governmental Organization (“NGO”) outside the US.
Vicente, who has a Bachelor's Degree in Economics realized that he wanted to focus on Developmental Economics where he has had experience working with a bunch of NGOs and working with social enterprise and corporate responsibility groups.
B Corp falls under for-profit organizations and it is strictly for companies. The process by which you become a B Corp is to become certified by the organization, B labs. The certification is very broad and it is performed by an organization that does a third-party review and gives a lot of credibility.
Some well-known company names are Ben and Jerry, and Patagonia - which was one of the first big corporations to obtain certification.
Whole Foods, who chose not to be B Certified, even though the CEO wanted to really instill that kind of mindset shared publicly that he regretted not being B certified when Amazon bought them because the company felt all that work was now at risk of being let go.
B Corp certification essentially gives the companies an opportunity to reevaluate their values, essentially, at all levels, as it coincides with a lot of current events around social change. Additionally, B-certification helps to increase enterprise value as a whole because it captures non-financial metrics or outcomes that help complement or affect a company’s financials.
16 GIU 2021 · On this week's podcast, Traci is joined by Richard Ward, a Financial Planner, and Philanthropic leader. Richard has been helping people have better life for more than 30 years. Richard helps people give something to the community without putting their future at risk.
He said, once we grow older, we see our lives more clearly as mature individuals- we start to decide how to live our life. Richard added, "without a sense of purpose, we don't grow and evolve". Being a mature individual doesn't really necessarily mean that you need to be 50+ to be called one but in general, that is typically the age. It is finding your purpose at a stage in life to be called a mature individual. We reach financial stability when we pay it forward to others. Richard believes that each of us has something to offer. In such ways, Richard helps people discover things that they could offer and be involved in any organization.
Richard's perspective towards life is that there is philanthropy in all of us. We can give what we can give. Participating and contributing in the art of giving help us achieve better lives.
26 MAG 2021 · Customers place more and more emphasis on publicly reported information related to environmental and social governance (“ESG”) to make purchasing decisions. Companies publish specific information or data on the world wide web, and this information is used by over 700 sources to rate a company in ESG. Company leadership needs to be informed about such ratings.
On the Driving Outcomes podcast, Cynthia shares what is CSR Hub (Corporate Social Responsibility) and how it has evolved as a company over time. Cynthia also mentions how she has helped companies understand how they are being perceived in the marketplace by different stakeholders, including prospective customers.
20 MAG 2021 · Robyn Williams, Community Engagement Manager for Miracles for Kids joins Traci on today’s podcast. Miracles for Kids is an organization that helps low-income families (who earn less than $23,000 a year) in Southern CA with a critically ill child for up to two years. Miracles for Kids provides financial assistance towards rent, provides housing through Miracle Manor for those facing eviction, helps provide basic needs, and also offers free counseling and wellness programs. Robyn shares testimonies of families that Miracle Manor has helped, the obstacles families face, and how the families they have helped pay it forward. Paying it forward involves parents who have come back to support other families or cases where Miracles for Kids has also helped families to advance economically by saving, so that they are also able to provide directly for their families in the future. Thus Miracles for Kids not only provides support for critically ill children and their families, but overall support for families to sustain themselves in the future.

If you know someone would like to get involved please go to 360miracle.org to learn more. 100% of your contribution will support families crumbling under the combined impact of their child's critical illness, a devastated economy, and the effects of COVID-19.
