Today is Pay It Forward Day! One of my favorite days of the year but honestly, I give and pay it forward daily … it’s who I am! It’s a day to celebrate the power of kindness and generosity. Pay It Forward Day is an international day of giving and sharing, and it’s all about doing something kind for someone else without expecting anything in return. Let’s share this post with others and do something to #payitforward today and every day! ♥️ #payitforwardchallenge #payitforwardday

Pay It Forward Day is a day to show the folks in our communities how much they mean to us. Small acts of kindness can go a long way, whether it’s by paying for someone’s coffee, complimenting someone’s outfit, or offering a helping hand when needed. #payitforward #payitforwardday

The heartwarming scene of the elderly woman celebrating her birthday alone but surrounded by the love of strangers reminds us of the power of human connection and compassion. As she reminisces about past celebrations with her husband, family, and friends, her solo tribute attracts the attention of the wait staff and other patrons. Their spontaneous gesture to join her in celebration demonstrates the beauty of empathy and kindness in our communities. Moments like these remind us that even in moments of solitude, we are never truly alone.

Yesterday was my last day at Hopin. I’ve known this day was coming for a while now and I did my best to be prepared but I’m still struggling to put into words what the last 5 years have been like. As Hopin comes to an end, my time here (there?) ends with it. I’ve been processing Hopin’s story for months now, but today it hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized I’ve been at Hopin longer than I’ve been a dad. I have 3 kids now. I’m about to turn 34; I’ve worked on Hopin for longer than I’ve lived in my 30s. Who is this non-Hopin Dave? It really consumed a lot of who I was. I find myself wondering who I am without it. These moments are weighty. Leaving a startup you loved and sacrificed for yields a ton of emotions. - Relief to finally get a break from the stress - Sadness for the decisions that could have gone better  - Gratitude for all the people I was able to work with - Confidence from all that I learned from them - Pride in the products and impact we brought to market - Thankfulness for all the friendships and connections I carry forward with me - Excitement for what is coming next Hopin changed my life. In 2019, I was an independent writer and solo-marketer with big questions about my future. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career. I searched and searched for what “the thing” was that I could go “all in” on and plunge into with both feet, but nothing seemed to be enough. Later that year I became remote friends with a developer in London named Johnny Boufarhat and ran one of the first virtual events on his platform — the rest is history. Today, I don’t have the same questions about my future as I did before. It could be that I’m just getting older and life seems more “set.” It could be that I have a family or a “career focus” now. But one question that Hopin taught me to keep asking is what’s possible. If you had told me at the beginning about all that we were soon to go through, I would have laughed at you. Not because I didn’t believe you, but because I didn’t know it was actually possible. I had no concept, no capability to envision a future like that. But man did I learn quickly. We all did. We had to. You don’t really know what’s possible until you go through it. Keep asking. Keep pushing. Keep dreaming. Peace out, Hopin, thanks for the incredible ride. Much love and gratitude to everyone along the way. Please reach out and stay in touch. I’ll leave what I’m doing next for a future update.

Uber is launching an all-new service, Uber Caregiver, this summer! 🌞 Uber Caregiver is designed to allow caregivers to schedule and manage rides for individuals who may need assistance. Some of the great features this service will include are: - Remote Ride Booking: Schedule rides for your loved one directly through the app. - Real-Time Tracking: You can monitor the scheduled trip in real-time. - Three-Way Communication: If needed, caregivers can communicate with the driver and the rider through the app. - These rides are eligible for payment through your health care benefits. This service can give individuals with developmental disabilities more independence for appointments, social events, or day programs (like the ones at The Arc of the Piedmont 😉). It can also limit the dependence placed on caregivers to get individuals to appointments and more. For more info, visit https://lnkd.in/dWzAUEGD or link in bio!

Growth takes time… Growth takes energy Growth can take a lot out of you But Growth brings about new perspectives Growth is often the result of struggle Yet, who doesn’t want growth in their lives? We recently considered over 40 taglines and tried to find one that best encapsulated our message and vision for the App… It was hard because we have many different client profiles: Heroes - who use this as a tool to navigate reintegration Buddies - who support those Heroes along the way Guides - 3rd sector charities and organisations who the Hero approaches on their journey Prisons / Probation / PCCs / Approved premises - who have a duty of care to the Hero. In the end this one said it best… TheGrowthApp Where People Help People 🚀 Launching soon, join us. Dr Sarah Lewis Kamali Stevens (FRSA) Justine MSc Dan Reynolds Carianne Burr Steve Penson David Haze
