Thriving on Mission - Episode 5 - Interview with Jenny Lessley, CEO of Tadpole Foundation
Episode description
Welcome to the fifth episode of Thriving on Mission. I’m Matt Rogie, the show’s host and this week’s episode is an interview I conducted on February 13th, Seven and one-half weeks ago.
Today on April 6th as I prep this episode for publishing, I know most of my listeners are under some type of stay-at-home mandate. I’m praying for your health, your jobs & your families in these difficult times.
Jenny Lessley is the CEO and co-founder of an incredible organization I talked about in last week’s episode- Eddy Furlani Tadpole Foundation. Join us as Jenny talks about how she, a civilian with no military experience, befriended a Navy SEAL and his family, and then suffered through the loss of his life when Eddy took his own.
Out of that tragedy, Jenny decided that she needed to do something to try and prevent any more veterans from committing suicide, and with a wealth of outdoor, high-adventure experience as a leader & instructor she formed the Eddy Furlani Tadpole Foundation to help veterans deal with PTS and TBI through experiences outdoors.
