Fighting Headwinds in the Fight Against Hunger

In this episode of Failed Forward, we talk with Heather Thompson, Executive Director of Table to Table, about her work in the fight against hunger.

Heather shares the daily challenges and the feeling of facing an uphill battle against a massive problem that can seem impossible to solve. She explains her approach to breaking down seemingly insurmountable obstacles into manageable steps—learning “how to eat an elephant, one bite at a time.” Heather’s insights on resilience, perseverance, and making a difference one step at a time will inspire anyone looking to tackle big issues with a hopeful, steady approach.
