Today’s conversation is a special one as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. My guest is Father David Wey of Sts. Constantine and Elena Orthodox Church on the west side of Indianapolis. Father David and I discuss giving within the Orthodox tradition and specifically explore almsgiving: the spiritual virtue of sacrificially giving to benefit people in need. That may sound straight forward but in fact, almsgiving requires the right disposition - toward God and the people we aim to help through our gifts.

Today, I'm pleased to share my conversation with Tom Hanley, founder and CEO of 913 Incorporated. 913 has two parts, 913 Sports, which provides school aged children with bicycle fitness opportunities and helps them build their own bikes, and 913 Logistics, which plays a critical role in the food distribution network, serving food banks and food pantries as well as individuals and families.

Tom is a former competitive cyclist with a big heart for kids, neighbors who need food, and for collaborating with other nonprofits meeting similar needs. Tom offers some really interesting case studies about nonprofit leadership, strategy, and adapting to change. As well as describing how you can get involved in 913's mission.

I’m pleased to share this conversation with Tracy Dull, founder and owner of Frances + Parke, a growing boutique clothing store in Zionsville, IN. In the seven years since she founded the company, Frances + Parke has gone from being one of several new business ideas to becoming a viable business to successful expansion and growth.
