About this Podcast:

This is Finding 44, a new podcast created by Project 44, spotlighting champions for change. In this series, we'll talk to public figures, thought leaders, athletes, coaches, and more, who are doing great things in their community, both in and outside of whatever arena they happen to play in. We'll explore our guests' successes on and off the court or field, favorite foods, funny memories, places to visit, and more. But we think our guests' impressive accomplishments in their line of work and stellar local recommendations are only outdone by their selfless willingness to give back to the communities around them. Inspired by the late Andrew Smith, wearing number 44 for the Butler Bulldogs, Project 44 is on a mission to create a culture of yes, where, whatever the cause, others are inspired to act in support of something bigger than themselves and utilize their platform for the benefit of the greater good. Follow along on our journey to find other inspiring 44s as w
