In this episode, we’re joined by a man whose life work has resulted in one of the Southeast’s largest residential programs for children in crisis situations.

At the ripe age of 27, with no land and little money to his name, Eddie Staub was driven by a courageous vision: to positively impact communities through the reunification of local families. 35 years and 315 acres later, that vision has since transpired into Eagle Ranch; a nonprofit facility that CNN rightfully nicknamed, “the miracle on Chestnut Mountain.”

In This Episode, You’ll Hear More About:

  • The importance of having a “Why”
  • How to maintain a passionate team
  • How Eagle Ranch came to be
  • How to effectively raise non-profit funds
  • The importance of connecting with the pillars of a community
  • Helping children find a healthy balance with technology
  • Building trust with parents
  • Family reunification
  • New initiatives at Eagle Ranch
  • Finding a place to fulfill your vision
  • Maintaining a debt-free organization
