We had an opportunity to visit The Salvation Army of Memphis & the Mid-South - Purdue Center of Hope as part of our cityCURRENT Nonprofit Tour, and it was truly a transformative experience. The work being done here is nothing short of life-changing, as they offer vital support and healing to those affected by homelessness, addiction, and mental health challenges. The Purdue Center of Hope is more than just a community resource—it's a beacon of hope and recovery for those in need. Through their specialized programs, including rehabilitative work therapy, therapy services, and peer-led counseling, they are building stronger foundations for countless individuals ready to take that brave first step toward a better life.

"Culture is what you’re willing to accept, not just what you aspire to. If you let underperformance slide, it sets a low standard for the entire company. We built a culture that holds people to high standards and repels those who don’t meet them." - Chris Powers, The Fort Podcast / Fort Capital On our latest ChangeMakers Podcast hosted by Jeremy C. Park, Chris Powers, founder and executive chairman of Fort Capital, shares his journey from growing up in El Paso to becoming a successful entrepreneur and real estate investor. He discusses his early foray into real estate during college, the importance of focusing on a niche (industrial real estate), and how his company scaled through strong culture and accountability. Chris emphasizes the value of relationships, listening, and the importance of the journey over financial success. He also touches on the significance of generosity and leaving a lasting legacy through impactful actions and integrity. https://lnkd.in/eVFx5G7q
