About this listen

In this episode of Every Day a Better You, Farid (“Flip”) and Henri ("Boo") reflect on the youth programs that changed their lives. From basketball courts to rec centers and afterschool programs, these places were more than just somewhere to be—they were sanctuaries that kept them safe, focused, and motivated.The people who ran these programs—often neighbors who cared—became role models, teaching discipline, teamwork, and hope when it was hard to find.We talk about how these experiences shaped us into the leaders we are today, and why creating safe spaces for kids is one of the most powerful tools we have to enhance our communities. We also talk about how those experiences led us to the creation of White Plains Wildfire along with some close friends. Real stories. Real results. This is Every Day a Better You.
