Ep. 1 I always wondered why cups of cold water were important to the One who taught us so much about sacrificial love. He said, “If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones he will be rewarded.”
My father exemplified that to me. Every day he would show small acts of thoughtfulness to those around him. I remember him helping my blind mother with the dishes, bringing meals to a family in need, and offering up his two apartments so missionary families had a place to stay and visit. For him, every day was a day to look around and ask, “What can I do today to remind the people around me that they are loved?”
In this episode, I share defining moments that shaped my journey, including:
🎨 A trip to an art store that unlocked my creative calling
🖌️ Drawing an African chief and discovering that bringing joy to others is my purpose in art
📚 A librarian’s encouragement that led me to Kendall College of Art & Design
📖 A gifted book that inspired the marketing agency we are today
These moments may have seemed small at the time, but they left a lasting impact. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode "How It All Started" and that it might inspire you to see the beauty in simple, thoughtful gestures.
