Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ernie Alvarez
Q: What is a concrete action listeners can take after this episode?
Listeners are encouraged to contact their federal representatives to advocate for housing and poverty-related policies, and to practice empathy by engaging with and supporting organizations that aid families in need, not just in their own community but at a national level.
Ernie Alvarez
Q: What did you see as the most valuable next steps from the Empathy Builder experience?
The most valuable next steps involve continuing conversations about resources and how to access them, recognizing that many services require physical presence and transportation, and encouraging ongoing empathy to sustain long-term commitment to helping neighbors.
Jordan Verdin
Q: What drives the shift from individual showers to a broader storytelling initiative?
The insight that stories can humanize people and inform better service design; patients' journeys reveal needs not captured by numbers alone, pushing toward a system-wide, data-informed approach.
