Show Notes

In this episode, I interview my baby brother Forest - You'll hear me refer to him as Junior because that's what our family calls him.  He is the founder of a non-profit and his mission is to change the lives of other people by putting good into this world. 

He discusses his story including the struggle of a breakup and a courageous conversation he had with our Dad. He shares the thoughts and beliefs he was holding onto, the weight that was lifted, and the bigness he felt after the conversation. He also shares quite a few other nuggets including how to create great relationships in your life. Enjoy.

Here’s more about Forest Lee Melton Jr:

My mission is to put good into this world because I care about people's lives being better.  I think it is important that we do whatever is in our power to help our fellow man.

I am a Ph.D. student doing research in health disparities, and I run a non-profit called Project Do Good which started in 2016. Project Do Good supports organizations in the areas of poverty, healthcare, & education. 

I have done a lot of volunteering and fundraising in my day, and it is so much easier to do when the people you are doing it with are having a good time so I try to bring joy and fun to serve.
