Episode 163: How Changing the World Starts with Your Community with Judy Wicks

Everything I’ve ever done has been about creating community, because that makes me happy. Through that I learned how Business is a powerful tool for social change.
— Judy Wicks

I’ve shared before on this podcast that if someone inspires you, just reach out to them. You never know who will say yes to hanging out with you. A client recommended that I read the book Good Morning, Beautiful Business. Within the first chapter, I knew I had found a new woman to add to my podcast guest wishlist & to my heros list. Judy Wicks has a long list of accomplishments: she’s a mom, an entrepreneur, a restaurateur, a multi-non profit founder, an author, a speaker, an activist, a community builder, a connector, a world traveler, it goes on. She created the first of many things in the restaurant and local food & community movement and it’s amazing to me that everyone doesn’t know her. Reading her book re-inspired me to take on doing it all and be a louder voice in changing the world. When I grow up I want to be Judy Wicks and I think you will, too.
