In this episode of Change Starts with U, we’re joined by Todd Jackson, CEO of HCA Florida Twin Cities Hospital; Kelly Jasen, President & CEO of United Way Emerald Coast; and Tammy Barrientos, UWEC Impact Coordinator. Together, they dive into the heart of Volunteer Week—a special time when volunteers unite to support local nonprofits, schools, and municipalities through meaningful service projects. Todd shares why HCA chose to not only sponsor Volunteer Week but also actively participate, living out their motto: “We show up.” Kelly reflects on the incredible care her family received at HCA and how that same compassion shows up in their volunteer work. Tammy walks us through the planning process behind Volunteer Week, from coordinating projects to launching the annual Day of Caring. From gardening and games to long-term visions of a healthier, more connected community, this conversation is a powerful reminder of how one day of service can spark lasting change.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
