In this episode of the Heromakers Podcast, Laurie and Ann talk with Dion Dawson, founder and visionary of Dion's Chicago Dream. Growing up in Englewood on the south side of Chicago, Dion later spent time in the Navy, serving as a journalist and communications specialist. When his time of service was up, Dion returned to his neighborhood in the hopes of helping the people there.
In this episode, we talk about Dion's path to launching his Chicago dream (which was not at all easy) and about the work he is tirelessly pursuing to bring fresh food and unconditional love to those in his neighborhood.
We loved this conversation and know you will as well. We invite you to check out what Dion and his "dream team" are doing and to partner with him.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
