Welcome to Episode 0 of the Willful Impact podcast. I’m your host Todd Youngblood, the one who’s fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be the visible, public voice for a show with a purpose that I believe is genuinely inspiring.

Simply stated, our goal is to generate a dramatically higher level of voluntary community service. 

I trust you will agree that I’m not using the words “genuinely inspiring” lightly. Our world is already over-loaded with hype, and exaggerated claims. None of us wants or needs or maybe can even stand for any more of that.

Our plan is to tell stories. Stories about individuals and organizations who generously set out to make the world a better place. Many times the story is short – as straightforward as providing financial support. Obviously, cash donations are critical. Without them, virtually all community service organizations would vanish – pretty much overnight. To be clear, we hope to inspire a whole lot more cash donations to worthy causes!

But that’s only the beginning of these “genuinely inspiring” stories. They only become “genuinely inspiring” with greater insight into the time and talent deployed by the individuals and organizations out on the front lines – directly delivering services to their communities.

That notion is the source of our mission…

When individuals and organizations generously set out to make the world a better place, and work hard to accomplish their intended purpose, Willful Impact stands ready to report the results of those community partnerships. Our mission is to tell actual stories to inspire prolific action in all of us for an even more abundant greater good.
