Welcome to Ordinary Heroism in Extraordinary Times
As a young reporter, I once witnessed a woman save her home from a wildfire armed with only a kitchen broom and garden hose. It set me off on a lifelong fascination with how ordinary people do extraordinary things.
Today, what I have learned seems more important than ever — both for those trying to simply navigate the extreme uncertainty of our age and for those actively trying to make the world a better place at whatever scale and in whatever way they came.
So, welcome. I hope you find insights and stories that help boost your resilience, alignment with purpose, and impact.
And if this work speaks to you, please consider sharing it with others.
Warmly,
