Every movement starts with a message—but how do you make yours truly stick?
In this reflective episode of Making a Movement: Voice + Vision, Jon and Becky revisit some of the most powerful voices from past conversations to explore the heart of messaging that moves people. It’s not just about what you say—it’s how you say it, who hears it, and whether it invites people to see themselves as part of something bigger.
Featuring powerful moments and lessons from:
✨Rick Shadyac, former President and CEO of ALSAC / St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, on earning trust through clear, consistent messaging
🎙️ Stephen Hackett, podcaster and proud St. Jude dad, whose personal story shows how vulnerability can unite a community
🌍 Dr. Bertrhude Albert, co-founder of P4H Global, on leading with dignity and crafting messages that honor people’s lived experience
🎤 Gloria Umanah, founder of Hope Booth, on using creativity and authenticity to spark hope
This episode is a field guide for anyone trying to bring their mission to life through message. Whether you’re just starting to shape your story or refining a message you’ve been carrying for years, you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, and next steps you can take today.
Tune in and learn how to bring your voice and vision together in a way that inspires action—and builds something that lasts.
