Luke Mickelson: Ending Child Bedlessness One Bed at a Time - #175 28:16

9 dagen geleden28:16

28:16

In this heartfelt episode, Alex Quin sits down with Luke Mickelson, the founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace , a nonprofit on a mission to end child bedlessness. What began as a small garage project has transformed into a global network with 350 chapters across four countries and over 250,000 beds delivered. Luke shares how a single community need shifted his perspective on success and led him to walk away from a high-paying career. Learn about the pivotal moment that inspired the movement, the scale of the issue, and the grassroots strategies that helped SHP thrive. Episode Outline [00:00:03] Intro: Meet Luke Mickelson and SHP’s impact [00:02:15] How Luke discovered child bedlessness [00:07:40] The first build: From garage to mission [00:12:10] Personal transformation: Fulfillment through service [00:16:50] Early challenges and Facebook’s unexpected role [00:23:10] First delivery: The story of Haley [00:29:05] Scaling SHP: People, process, and passion [00:34:45] Child development and the effects of bedlessness [00:39:20] Redefining success and building community [00:44:00] How to get involved with SHP Wisdom Nuggets From Couch to Action: Real change begins the moment you move from wanting to act to actually doing something. Luke’s story highlights how powerful a few inches of movement—off the couch—can be. Local First, Impact Global: SHP’s model focuses on keeping support local. This not only solves immediate community issues but fosters long-term engagement and ownership. You Can’t Scale Alone: Empowering others and letting go of control was key to SHP’s expansion. Trusting people with clear responsibilities created a thriving, scalable nonprofit. Redefining Wealth: True success isn’t the size of your paycheck—it’s the impact you leave behind. For Luke, fulfillment came from service, not status. Simple Fix, Big Problem: Child bedlessness is a solvable issue that most people don’t even realize exists. A $300 bed can drastically improve a child’s life and future.

Value, not just reputation, will keep users loyal. The Future Belongs to Adaptable Brands: Adobe is betting on AI-powered automation to remain relevant. Companies that embrace change and invest in future technologies will have the best chance at long-term success.
