BACKGROUND: J and LT  founded the Ambassadors Circle which was created in 2016 to inspire and equip change makers, influencers, and culture creators, to use their influence, flex their gifts, and take more meaningful action. The Ambassadors Circle exists to inspire and equip our tribes to DO MORE GOOD. People join the Ambassadors Circle for lots of reasons. To support inspiring storytelling, to amplify the good works of their tribes or to creatively demonstrate social responsibility. We've had the great pleasure of collaborating with them on a number of projects. In this episode we talk about how we can become better listeners, why sports is a great platform to inspire social change, the Vote with Love  campaign, and more.
