Episode 04: Chandler Hoffman Show Notes

Dr. Chandler Hoffman is new to the nonprofit game. As a psychologist, he’s spent over three decades helping families, children, and separating parents navigate the changes in their lives and find health and healing along the way. But he knows that difficult times such as these can’t be dealt with in isolation or through weekly appointments with a therapist alone. People need friends. Tribes. A sense of belonging and an interweb of relationships where they can find someone to laugh with, a shoulder to cry on, a healthy distraction, or just a really honest conversation.

That’s why he founded Tribe One to combat the loneliness epidemic in America by helping people form and strengthen meaningful connections.

In this episode, he shares with Jordan how he decided to start his organization, the challenges of the first year, and how he plans to grow it into a sustainable initiative in the future.

Patricia Ashanti has a vision that won't quit. After a financial mistake at McDonald's opened her eyes to the economic exploitation happening in her community, she spent over a decade building something powerful in the Arkansas Delta. Since founding Delta Circles in 2013, she's taught financial literacy to hundreds of families, secured a 20-acre school campus for 50 years at no cost, and created an innovation hub that's bringing technology, entrepreneurship, and hope back to Helena-West Helena.

In this episode, she talks about the car accident that changed everything, why she chose nonprofit over business, the compliance mistake that nearly shut her down, and the storytelling exercise that helped her finally see herself as the leader she'd always been.

Stacey Borden has a lot to say. After years stuck in a cycle of addiction and incarceration as a result of unaddressed childhood trauma, she’s making up for lost time. Since she began on this pathway in 2008, she’s helped people from her community overturn wrongful convictions through participatory defense, created a safe place for them to live and transition back into the community after their incarceration, and setup programs in partnership with institutions across Boston to help survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and incarceration move towards healing and transformation.

In this episode, she talks about the impact of the heroin epidemic in her community, the influence of her parents on her social justice career, the difference between accountability and punishment, and the fundraising efforts that converted her dream into reality almost overnight.
