This is a big week for Stories Connect People podcast! This is my 25th episode and I can't think of a better guest than my guest today Luke Mickelson with Sleep in Heavenly Peace. What started from Luke finding out a kid in his town was sleeping on the floor has evolved into this nationwide movement within a few years. The motto "no kid sleeps on the floor in our town"
My husband, Brad is the one that got us completely hooked on supporting sleep in heavenly peace after seeing Luke and SHP featured on CNN heroes about 18 months ago.
It was such a pleasure to interview Luke and he is just as incredible as I thought he would be he has warm, down to earth, generous and funny.
You will hear us talk about the build days and the bed deliveries. At the build days the volunteers literally do every single step by hand from cutting the wood, sanding, drilling, staining and then branding then volunteers go out and deliver beds to kids in their home. All of this is done with so much love for the kids.
Luke talks about his first big breakthrough was when Mike Rowe featured SHP on Returning the Favor, then in 2018 he was featured on CNN heros. SHP has received more than 1M in grants from Lowes, the Rose Bowl organization ask him to build 100 beds for a service project and you can now find his smiling face on the Lays Potato Chips bag. I said who in the world knows someone who has been featured on a Lay's Potato Chip bag?
Luke I thrilled to have you join me today on Stories Connect People podcast.
