We look forward to John O'Leary's posts. They make our day "more better." Keep up the great work!! #AMDG #MenforOthers
Live Event + Virtual Speaker | Two-Time National Bestselling Author | Coach | Live Inspired Podcast Host | President, John O'Leary - Live Inspired.
For an entire year now, you’ve shared stories with us of individuals in your world who embody what it means to be On Fire For Good. We’ve received almost 1,000 nominations, nearly all of them someone’s parent, sibling, teacher, pastor, colleague or friend. But last month, one came in that caught my eye. It was in fact, celebrating someone the nominator didn’t know at all but had admired from afar. It just so happens, however, that I know the person they described personally, and I was overjoyed to bestow this honor on my friend, the joyful Stephanie Szostak. As we prepared to film #OnFireTheFilm last year, joy was the emotion I hoped people would ultimately leave the movie theater with after watching our story. And it was most certainly the emotion I witnessed when Stephanie met the lady she would be portraying in the movie: one of the heroes of my life, Susan O’Leary. My mom has had an awesome life, but far from an easy one. Blessed with a husband, 6 children and 22 grandbabies who love her, she’s also experienced numerous losses. Enduring the agony of a child being burned in a house fire, and a decade later losing that home in a second house fire. Dealing with significant health challenges while serving as a fulltime caregiver to a husband with Parkinson’s disease. Yet, every time I’m with Mom, I am with a woman that radiates joy. Which made choosing the actress to play my mom in the film a monumental task. In #OnFireTheFilm, we wanted a woman who modeled through her own courageous life the power of faithfulness, friendship, family and fortitude to overcome struggles and tragedies. We wanted someone who lived out the truth that in spite of the challenges we face, the best is yet to come. That’s where my incredible friend & highly regarded actress, Stephanie, comes in—and why we’re recognizing her as this month’s On Fire For Good recipient. Her life is remarkable, her movies are viewed worldwide and her family is wild about her. And yet, her life has not been easy. Growing up in France, but going to school away from family in the US. Having a brother as a best friend who passed away while she was in school. Dealing with challenges that come from a midlife shift into acting, while raising two boys and managing family responsibilities on both sides of the Atlantic. And yet, every time I’m with Stephanie, I am with a woman that radiates joy. Observing the first meeting of these two warriors a year ago and watching the tears of joy flow before they even started chatting suggested we found the right person to portray Mom. Seeing Stephanie’s elite acting in front of the camera and her persistent kindness when no one was watching made me certain we had. My friends, these women, through their willingness to endure struggle with joyful confidence remind us that life will never be perfect this side of eternity, but it is good. The foundation is firm. And the best is yet to come. Just ask Susan. Or Stephanie. Today is your day. Live Inspired.

Love this!!
Why on earth do we still say "non-profit"? Seriously - think about it. It’s absurd. Non-profit. No money, no gain, no glory. It’s not just a word choice; it’s an entire mindset that drags an entire sector under. Words create worlds. And every time we call them "non-profits", we're casting them as penniless do-gooders rather than the game-changing forces they actually are. What if we scrapped this dusty old label? What if, instead, we called them "social profit" organizations? Imagine the shift. Suddenly, they’re defined by the value they create—value that has zero to do with shareholders and everything to do with actually changing lives. Language sculpts perception, and perception shapes worth. So let’s stop boxing these organizations in by what they lack. It’s high time we celebrate them for what they truly are: catalysts of social profit. Right ? ??

"A bit of independence boosts my confidence" ~ Matt M QUICK UPDATE.

Over the weekend Matt reached out to us with gratitude to let us know that he was able to get his driver's license restored and is back on the road! This bit of independence, he said, boosts his confidence as he continues his road to recovery following the stroke. We are very happy for you, Matt. Keep fighting. We have your back!
