On today’s show, we’ll talk with Matt Ladhoff. There is one word that comes to me when describing Matt and his story – and that word is…inspiring. Matt is an eternal optimist. A life enthusiast. A story teller and, in a nutshell, a game changer for the world around him.

In this episode, Matt will share his journey from living a life within the corporate world to living a life traveling around the world. A journey that allowed him to create a ripple effect of goodness that is, quite literally, changing the world. One of Matt’s goals has always been to cultivate relationships and create meaningful connections across communities. In the pursuit of this goal, Matt stated a bit of a social experiment during those adventures around the world back in 2018. On this trip, Matt started handing out medals to individuals that he observed doing amazing things – random people that were performing random acts of kindness, spreading positivity, and living a life that lifts those around them. And so began…The People’s Champ Award.

At the core, Matt’s impact on our world is rooted in his focus on gratitude, optimism ..and..his quest of finding and recognizing the next People’s Champ.

So join us as he shares his inspiring and encouraging journey that is filled with intentionality, connection and purpose.

Julie is a spiritual artist and author. Her latest book is “Homeless to Happy in a Split Second”, in which she shares her story of life behind the wheel while living in her Hyundai Tucson, and how it allowed her to tap more deeply into her joy and purpose. She feels her purpose here on earth is simply to love and be loved, and her art and books are the channel through which she does this. She’s passionate about seeing someone’s eyes light up when they have an “a-ha” moment, and loves connecting deeply with those around her. Nature is her greatest inspiration and can often be found on van trips with her wife or photographing the beauty she finds on a trail. It’s Julie’s hope that her books and art will bring a sense of love and grace to the world, encouraging people to claim their innate power within and live the lives they feel most aligned with!
