Lisa Helfman is a three-time guest on our show, and with very good reason. Today, the conversation centers on what happens when you bring people together with one goal—public service—and how that idea became real for Lisa through the American Leadership Forum. You’ll hear:
- What the ALF experience is and how it shapes its fellows
- How an idea at a Texans game sparked the Brighter Bites program
- The support that happens when people connect beyond titles or roles

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
