About this listen

In this episode, Michael is joined by Jodi O'Donnell-Ames, a passionate author, speaker, and founder of the nonprofit Hope Loves Company. Their conversation dives into Jodi’s deeply personal journey—losing her husband Kevin to ALS, raising their daughter, and turning unimaginable grief into a mission to support kids and families affected by ALS. Along the way, Jodi shares mini-lessons on presence, resilience, and the importance of simply starting—whether that’s launching a nonprofit with $1,200, going back to school at nearly 60, or just sending that brave email. It’s a conversation full of warmth, wisdom, and some seriously inspiring reminders that hope really does love company.
