• An Off the Cuff podcast episode with Collier Landry’s as he shares his journey of experiencing the tragic loss of his mother depicted in the 2017 film, "A Murder In Mansfield."

• Joe Whale, 13, discovered his passion for drawing at a young age. Despite getting in trouble for doodling in class, his parents supported him by enrolling him in an after-school art class. Joe's talent was recognized when he drew an illustration of Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. The royal members praised him and encouraged him to continue pursuing his passion. Shortly after, Joe had his first solo exhibition at a local art gallery in Shrewsbury, England. The following year, he signed a deal with Nike, which combines his talent and love for sports to inspire others. This goes to show how some of our passions can lead us to incredible opportunities! ✍️ 🖼

• At 9 years old, Tae Butler fell ill with acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital diagnosed her, and she started chemotherapy the next day. Her doctor, Ted Moore, treated her with care and affection, inspiring her to become a doctor herself. Now 26 and cancer-free for 17 years, Tae is pursuing a career as an oncologist. She began working alongside Dr. Moore in July 2023 and aspires to be like him. We love full-circle moments like these! ❤️

• Steven Bradbury, a former elite short-track speed skater, and four-time Olympian, won a gold medal in the 1,000-meter event at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Years later, Bradbury spotted a teenage girl drowning at sea while giving his son surfing lessons. He quickly acted, paddling out to rescue her and three other girls. Australian Governor-General David Hurley commended Bradbury's heroic actions. Heroes truly are among us all the time! 🏊‍♀️
