I have a policy in my business of giving back to the community. Maybe it comes from being in Scouts as a kid, or the Halloween trick-or-treating nights – holding a bag for candy in one hand and a UNICEF “milk carton” in the other. Doesn’t matter how it started but giving of my time, talent and treasure is a vital part of my business and life.

But I am blown away by the generosity of spirit and professional dedication of my friend Michelle Tomlinson, who has created an online talk show as a way to give back. Michelle is a cancer survivor and conceived of her show as a way of building community for those who are battling cancer or other great life challenge – she knew firsthand how alone a person could feel in that state. Her mother suggested the idea to her several times. Then one day, while in the shower, Michelle envisioned the entire show within two minutes. But the show didn’t really come together until her friend, Maria Fagan, mentioned she wanted to learn more about producing. And so a production dream team was born: Michelle, her hubby Chris Nelson, and Maria. Check out this preview for her show, which launches on Wednesday, March 5th.

What a fabulous and creative way to give back. Now, what about you? How do you make a difference? Leave a comment below.
