A knock on a stranger's van window changed everything. When Jeff Fisher followed a spiritual prompting to reach out to a homeless man named Daryl, he had no idea that simple act would spark a movement dedicated to transforming how we approach homelessness in America.

Fisher shares the remarkable journey that led him from successful business owner to founder of Ride the Wave Foundation, a rapidly growing organization creating innovative solutions for those experiencing homelessness. His philosophy cuts through conventional approaches with a simple but profound concept: "The path is to the person." Rather than focusing first on material resources, Fisher advocates building authentic human connections as the essential foundation for lasting change.

The conversation reveals how anyone can make a difference through what Fisher calls "the art of asking questions" - simple techniques for radiating positivity, managing nervousness, and truly listening to others. His Wavemaker Mentorship Program offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional case management by creating one-on-one friendships focused on empowerment rather than dependency.

What makes Fisher's perspective especially powerful is his comprehensive vision. From addressing immediate transportation challenges through a free ride service to building an all-inclusive "university-style" environment for comprehensive support, the Ride the Wave Foundation is tackling homelessness from multiple angles. His book "Wavemaker" not only tells Daryl's inspiring story but provides practical principles for business leaders and individuals who want to create positive change in their communities.

Fisher's journey reminds us that meaningful impact often begins with the courage to step outside our comfort zones. As he puts it, "nerves are normal" - but pushing through them can transform not only the lives of those we help but our own lives as well. Visit RideTheWave.org to learn more about getti
