Hi Adventure Philanthropists!

I’ve had some really great press in the last week that I’d love to share with y’all!

Radio: Interviewed on the Absolutely Everybody program on Melbourne radio station: JOY94.9

Hosted by Jodie Henry of the nonprofit organization annecto, Absolutely Everybody is about sharing common interests. The show focuses on our differences, celebrating our individuality. What I liked about this interview are the questions about inclusiveness worldwide. And we gave away a free book to a lucky listener! Give a listen and tell me what you think!
