    Angela Williams of United Way: Why American Giving is More Vital Than Ever
    Feb 16 2026
    For some people, activism is an accident. They come into this work by way of a core issue, and either become experts on that matter, or they expand, becoming experts in activism. But for some, activism is an ethos. A lifelong calling to give and care for others. Angela Williams is one of those activists. Angela is now the outgoing President and CEO of United Way Worldwide, one of America’s oldest and most visible charities, and this position is a culmination of a lifetime of service.She has served in government and led private efforts at the YMCA, Easterseals, and Sears Roebuck.

  • Phillip Schermer: bringing mental health care to the masses

    Phillip Schermer: bringing mental health care to the masses
    Feb 2 2026
    There are not enough therapists in America. And even when you can find one, it is hard to schedule an appointment. This is the case despite the fact that America also has a rising mental health crisis. More people are aware of their mental health needs, and more people are coming to need mental health support. At the Ruderman Family Foundation, this is one of our tentpole issues, and we strive to facilitate changes in our communities that will provide better and healthier futures for those struggling with mental health. That is why I’m so excited to be joined today by Phillip Schermer. Phillip is the founder of Project Healthy Minds, a non-profit startup building the world’s first digital mental health marketplace to democratize access to life-changing services, partnering with public figures to de-stigmatize mental health, and creating the first national standards for businesses to better support employee mental health. Phillip and Jay discuss AI in the therapy space, the social and economic barriers standing between people and quality mental health care, and the stunning power of celebrity honesty around mental health struggles. Today's episode was produced by Tani Levitt and Mijon Zulu. To check out more episodes or to learn more about the show, you can visit our website Allaboutchangepodcast.com.

  • Tom Vozzo: Ending Recidivism through the Homeboy Way

    Tom Vozzo: Ending Recidivism through the Homeboy Way
    Jan 20 2026
    Tom Vozzo came to Homeboy Industries in a moment when they needed his skills. Around 2012, the organization was facing a financial crunch, and Tom stepped up from Homeboy volunteer to CEO steering the company to financial stability. Working at Homeboy changed Tom as well. Writing in his book, ‘The Homeboy Way,’ Tom said that after years of working with the poor, forgotten, and demonized people of our society, he came to learn that he didn’t really know as much about life as he thought. Tom and the rest of the Homeboy team continue to support formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, helping them redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community. In doing so, they make a bold and critical statement: No life is disposable, no person is beneath society, no person cannot be better, and no person will not benefit from helping another person reach the potential of who they can be.
