Episode Synopsis

This episode is a powerful year in review and a behind the scenes look at Impact Others and Project Dakota. Eddie shares the story of launching a new “house of refuge” and feeding center in Colombia, why he’s been drawn to protecting children who can’t protect themselves, and the personal origin behind Project Dakota, named in honor of his brother. Eddie then takes you to India, where he helped deliver Christmas gifts to hundreds of children who had never received a gift in their entire life, and describes the moment that wrecked him in the best way; orphans singing “Silent Night.” To close, Eddie gives three end of year principles to carry into your planning that will help build a life that creates real fulfillment through impact.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Year in review and why this episode matters: Impact Others00:31 – Colombia: launching a new feeding center & house of refuge02:16 – “Why orphans?” and the personal reason Eddie didn’t fully name before03:46 – Eddie’s childhood loss and his brother Dakota’s story06:55 – The question that sparked it: honoring Dakota + why Christmas08:22 – Project Dakota is born: giving Christmas morning to orphans09:29 – 17,000+ orphans touched plus toy drives across the U.S.10:52 – India trip: what Eddie saw in Madurai14:16 – Giving gifts to children who’d never received one15:38 – The “Silent Night” moment 17:57 – Eddie’s challenge: what are you doing that actually matters?18:19 – The 3 principles21:52 – The 3 impact targets23:02 – Closing Hosted on Acast.
