Lisa Helfman is a three-time guest on our show, and with very good reason. Today, the conversation centers on what happens when you bring people together with one goal—public service—and how that idea became real for Lisa through the American Leadership Forum. You’ll hear:

• What the ALF experience is and how it shapes its fellows
• How an idea at a Texans game sparked the Brighter Bites program
• The support that happens when people connect beyond titles or roles
