I love to put my toes in the sand, hear the waves lap on the shore and lay in the sun with the warm gulf breeze blowing over me. Afroz Shah loves the beach too. After a childhood spent near his beloved beach, he moved away only to return as an adult. Wha he found upon his return was nothing short of shocking, garbage piled up in places as high as five feet tall and covering the beach...2018-02-2005 min

The Small Magic PodcastInterview with Ryan DeJong of the Fighter FoundationI met Michelle DeJong several years ago and knew she was special from the second she opened her mouth. Everything she did, every person whose life she touched. We all benefitted from having known her. Sadly, Michelle's story ended sooner than anyone wanted as she passed from Brain Cancer. This isn't a sad story though. This is a story of hope, inspiration, and most of all, fight. Michelle was a fighter and left behind a legacy of so much more than what she did or how her story ended. Ryan DeJong is her husband and t...2018-02-1355 min

The Small Magic PodcastThe Small Magic Podcast- Interview with Jodi PelletierJodi Pelletier would say she is no one special. I disagree. Jodi is a teacher in the local Tampa Bay area and teaches second grade. I'd be willing to bet you that the eight learning challenged students whom she has taught would say she's pretty special too. Jodi is not a special needs teacher. She does not have an organization backing her other than the elementary school she teaches at. What Jodi does have is heart and love and respect for other humans. Jodi has given her time to these kids and likely always will. Sh...2017-11-2127 min

The Small Magic PodcastThe Small Magic Podcast- Interview with Jennifer Lockwood, PilotJennifer Lockwood is a special human being. She's a pilot, a mother, and a former resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands. When her former home was destroyed in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, she couldn't sit idly by and do nothing. She got her employer, St. Pete Air, and the Glasscock Family Foundation and decided to take matters into her own hands. Little by little, they started taking over chain saws, water, and generators. Eventually, it got to be getting supplies in and pets out and today they have teamed up with dozens of organizations to...2017-10-2533 min
