Boston College Sophomore Gordon Wayne spent 14 months homeless before a combination of &quot;luck and hard work&quot; allowed him to transfer to Boston College. Rather than flying like the school offered for him to do, he decided to walk all 550 miles and raise money for the homeless along the way. Olivia and Gordon chat about the experience and where he plans to go from here.

38: Don't Be A Pretend Missionary | Sean Forrest of Haiti180

Inspired by Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati’s mantra, “to the heights,” this podcast uses the charism of Frassati's care for the poor and vulnerable to highlight people who are reaching to the heights in their own lives.  Host Olivia R. Colombo takes her background in environmental activism and social justice to introduce listeners to people who are making positive change in the world–– activists, religious, journalists, youth ministers, artists, social workers, and everyone in between.
