Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. So you might have noticed that the world has gone a little bit insane. And to get through this in a way that is sustainable and maybe even joyous, we are going to have to find some crazy wisdom. Which is why I named the podcast Crazy Wisdom. And I try to find guests who are both contrarian and right, as well as people who can help us to understand how we can get through this period of both acceleration as technology accelerates and maybe even a little bit of darkness, as well as some of you may have been noticing, really crazy stuff is happening right now. So my goal with the show is to empower you with crazy wisdom and give you the tools to figure out how to do it on yourself, because we can't rely on too much these days. So with that being said, if you like what I'm offering with this show, I'm on Twitter to Stuart Alsop. I, I, I. My DMs are open. I'd love to hear from you about how this show has affected you. Thanks. Have a great day.
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest today is Courtney Hodges, and she is really passionate about helping kids. And she actually, I asked her what her business was before we started talking, and she said that she helps kids with cancer. Welcome to the show, Courtney.
Yeah, I would love to. Well, kids need an advocate. A lot of families need a patient advocate because they have other kids at home. And when kiddos need to go in for treatment, they have to be in for a while, sometimes a long while. And so they need people who will come and sleep over and. And stay with them and hold their hand when they need it and just kind of be there for them, sitting tall, representing them as much as we possibly can and helping the parents with anything they need. So if the parents need funding, if they need a new car to get back and forth to treatment, if they need help with their other kids, if they need shampoo, I mean, a bar of soap nationwide children's hospital is $9.99. And it's just these families don't have this kind of money. So an advocate means you help in every way. You research for the parents, you help them research and find specialists all over. Now, these hospitals have social workers, but they're bogged down. Too many kids have cancer now, you know, environmental.
