Welcome back, Converge listeners, for another compelling episode. I'm your host, Jeff Williamson, joined by my co-host Brian Prairie, and today we're thrilled to bring you part two of our enriching dialogue with Jeff Christian, CEO and founder of C4 Leaders!

In this episode, Jeff shares the journey and evolution of his initiative, Pizza with Purpose, which began during the uncertain times of 2020. The discussion delves into how this project uses the simple, communal act of sharing pizza to connect and empower individuals across various communities, even during periods of social distancing and isolation.

Jeff elaborates on the transformative experiences facilitated by these gatherings, which aim to foster understanding and unity among diverse groups. He highlights the inspiring story of the pizza day events that bring people together to "break bread," engage in meaningful conversations, and discover common ground despite inherent differences.
Additionally, Jeff talks about his dual role as an author aiming to impact families and children with his book, "Lucy's Secret Sauce." The book metaphorically presents the idea that everyone has a unique 'secret sauce' or innate gift that, when shared, enriches the community. As Jeff puts it, "We're more alike than we are different...and if we can create that space to say, is there a better way that we both can get our needs met?"

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in community building, leadership in non-profit sectors, and the powerful impact of simple, heartfelt initiatives in bringing people together. Tune in to be inspired by how passion and pizza can make a world of difference.
