”You can pretend to care, but you can’t pretend to show up”
This episode of the Delay the Decay podcast with Dan Hardy features an in-depth conversation with Brian Mavis, founder of America’s Kids Belong. Brian shares his experiences over the past decade, including his work as a mentor, pastor, and advocate for vulnerable children. He discusses his current life focus, dubbed ‘Brian 6.0’, which emphasizes the importance of relationships and living intentionally.
The episode delves into Brian’s journey in foster care, the founding of America’s Kids Belong, and his views on living a balanced, intentional life. This conversation was a blend of heartwarming stories and practical advice for anyone aspiring to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others, and I’m very glad Brian joined us for this one.
