    The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Polly Letofsky, Author, Speaker, Publishing Mama, and Owner, My Word Publishing
    Apr 22 2025
    Polly Letofsky left her home in Colorado and headed west across 4 continents and over 14,000 miles—by foot—to become the first woman to walk around the world.

    As an awareness campaign for breast cancer, strangers welcomed her into their homes. But it was never an easy road. Polly struggled with earthquakes, muggings, languages, even religious riots. The ultimate challenge came in the middle of Polly’s journey when September 11 flung us all into a crossroads in world history and she found herself navigating a vastly changing world.

    Polly shares her story with humor and honest reflection, in this award-winning book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman’s Walk Around the World.

    Polly has taken her book writing experience to a whole new level. After a bad experience with a publishing company, she took a deep dive into learning every aspect of the industry. Her goal… to protect authors from many of the same mistakes she made. Today she runs a very successful book publishing business with an award-winning team of editors, marketers, and designers.

    The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Heather Lagge, Sponsorships & Gifts Manager, Bridge House
    Apr 18 2025
    I enjoy blending strategic thinking with creative problem-solving to drive meaningful change. My focus has always been on building connections and finding ways to enhance our communities.

    I kicked off my career in finance, where I found success as a top salesperson. That experience sharpened my analytical skills and taught me how to understand complex needs, which I now apply to my work in non-profit fundraising.

    What motivates me is the chance to contribute to causes that resonate with me. I thrive on collaboration, brainstorming new approaches, and discovering innovative strategies to advance our mission. Whether it’s through partnerships, campaigns, or improving processes, my aim is to make a real impact.

    On a personal note, I grew up in Colorado, am a military brat, and the youngest of six siblings. I speak Spanish and love to travel! I’m a devoted wife who loves spending time with my husband. We enjoy serving our church, exploring new places, birdwatching, and practicing my compound bow in our league. And there’s nothing better than a road trip through the Midwest with classic country tunes playing in the background. These experiences enrich my perspective and fuel my passion for giving back.

    I’m excited to connect with anyone who shares a passion for making a difference or wants to chat about innovative ways to engage in philanthropy and community work.

    The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Amy Mays, Executive Director, The Happy Crew
    Apr 8 2025
    For over thirty years, Amy Mays has worked alongside teens, helping them navigate life’s challenges. As a youth director and counselor, she learned something crucial: teens need more than programs. They need places where they feel they truly belong, where getting support doesn’t feel like a big deal.

    That’s why she started Happy Crew in 2007. It began with weekly meetings where teens could be themselves, find their voice, and know they matter. What started with just a few students grew steadily. In the 2024-2025 school year, Happy Crew will host a total of 23 weekly meetings that bring together an average of 75 students each time. Already, 183 different teens have found community through Happy Crew this year alone—and we’re on track to connect with over 200 students before summer. But we need to do more.

    The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Wendy Loloff Cooper, CEO, Generation Schools Network
    Mar 18 2025
    Wendy began with Generation Schools Network in 2010 as the Rocky Mountain Managing Director and was asked by the Board of Directors to assume the CEO role in 2012. While earning a business degree, her love for education was catalyzed through volunteering to teach a business entrepreneurship class in an economically struggling Denver neighborhood on Saturday mornings at a local church. She brings extensive experience in the non-profit and education sectors, especially in the areas of network development, school replication and innovative educational models. She has worked in higher education (Northwest College, Colorado Christian University & Harvard University) and co-founded the Street School Network, which grew to include more than 50 schools in 27 cities under her leadership. She holds a BS in Business Management from Colorado Christian University, an MA in Educational Leadership from Concordia University and is currently studying for her PhD in Education & Social Justice at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom.

    Wendy is part of a big, blended family with 6 semi-grown children ranging in ages from 21-42; four boys and two girls. She loves dogs (which is great because she has grand dogs including one she keeps full-time due to her son’s deployment). Wendy loves reading historical fiction and serves as the director of the children’s program at her church.

    The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Jennifer Powell, Volunteer, Soul Dog Rescue
    Mar 11 2025
    As a sales specialist for SketchUp in Trimble’s AEC division, I blend my interior design background with a passion for architectural technology. I help professionals navigate the industry’s leading 3D modeling software. Raised in Douglas County, I’ve always believed in the power of community. Since May 2024, volunteering has opened new doors for me, bringing fresh purpose and perspective to my life. When I’m not helping architects and designers transform their visions into reality, you’ll find me spending quality time with my husband and our dogs, who make every day brighter.

    I began volunteering with Soul Dog Rescue in May 2024 with my sister-in-law Heather Taylor. The mission of Soul Dog Rescue is to perform collaborative and targeted work, primarily through spay and neuter in underserved regions. Once a month we travel to the Navajo Reservation in the Four Corners Region where we may spay and neuter over 200 dogs and cats in a weekend. We rescue surrendered and stray animals and bring them to our clinic in Fort Lupton, CO where we hope to find foster and forever homes.
