NPR reporter Rob Schmitz followed me down Hollywood Blvd


A week or so ago Rob Schmitz followed me down Hollywood Blvd. I am also very honored that friends Chris Brogan and Chris Pirllio took the time to be interviewed.

Something happened that day I’ll never forget yet there was not enough time to include in the story. Three LAPD officers had seven homeless youth against a store front. Rod was holding a large shotgun mic so I took advantage figuring the officers would see it. I walked up and asked if I could give the kids socks. The officers said yes. Giving the kids much-needed socks while they were in ‘trouble’ was simply AWESOME!

Today I spoke at the University of Montana so yesterday was a travel day. I did not hear this story until arrived at my hotel in Missoula. Being candid, I was completely overwhelmed with gratitude and broke down in tears. This story is not really about me, but all of you that have helped me help others who have little influence. THANK YOU for supporting me and most importantly believing in me.
