Have you ever wondered what might happen if you followed that quiet voice inside urging you to step out of your comfort zone? Jeff Fisher's remarkable journey shows the life-changing power of listening to spiritual promptings and making authentic human connections.

Jeff takes us through his transformation from selling cell phones to owning NCK Equipment, a successful process equipment company. Yet his most profound evolution came unexpectedly when he followed a spiritual nudge to knock on the window of a blue van where Daryl, a homeless man, sat alone and depressed. That simple act of compassion sparked something extraordinary within Jeff – what he calls "the wave" – a profound sense of purpose that would redirect his entire life.

Months after their first encounter, Jeff discovered that his encouragement had completely transformed Daryl's life, giving him hope when he felt utterly hopeless. This experience became the foundation for Ride The Wave, an organization with the ambitious vision of creating an all-inclusive, university-style campus for people experiencing homelessness – a place offering not just shelter, but comprehensive support through health programs, leadership training, and dedicated mentorship.

The foundation has already gained remarkable traction with its podcast reaching 100,000 subscribers in just six months, and Jeff's book "Wavemaker" sharing principles for approaching and helping those in need. What makes Jeff's approach unique is his commitment to understanding actual needs rather than making assumptions. He's built unlikely friendships with people experiencing homelessness like Mark Robinson, now his podcast co-host and community relationship manager, creating authentic connections that bridge different worlds.

While balancing his existing business with his growing foundation presents challenges, Jeff remains unwavering, knowing he's finally living in his purpose. His story reminds us that true fulfillment often arrives when we respond to those inner promptings that connect us with others in meaningful ways.
