✍️ Show Notes:
What if saying “yes” to one crazy idea could completely change your life—and countless others around the world? In this episode, Christine sits down with Paul Hurckman, Executive Director of Venture.org, whose journey from skepticism to summit is proof that one YES can move mountains.
When a student asked him to bike across the country for charity, Paul Hurckman said “No.” That one decision—and the regret that followed—sparked a decade-long transformation that led to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, adopting three children, and helping deliver over 75 million meals to refugees. In this episode of The YES Show, Christine Trippi and Paul dive deep into what it truly means to lead with heart, the power of stacking YESes, and how hospitality leaders can make a global impact from right where they are.
