How you doing, sir, I'm doing good, John. 34 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.240 I'm always excited to get connected with you the good day. Well, congrats 35 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:27.479 on graduation recently. When was the graduation October twentieth. I'm still riding a 36 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.800 high from all the people we had show up and show out and have fun 37 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.800 with us. But it was a lot of fun that we had at start 38 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.919 of Soup Falls October twenty have just completed our second pilot of the Change Program. 39 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.159 So let's talk. We'll rewind and go back to the beginning because there 40 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.439 are some folks listening right now that are going who is Terry? What is 41 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.280 the Change program? Who's John talking to? So let's talk a little bit 42 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159 about, first of all, who Terry is, because I think you're fascinating. 43 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.280 So, Terry Liggins, who are you? Well, I'm almost a 44 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.800 South Dakota kid at this point, I've been here nineteen years. You are 45 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.879 we adopted that you're a South Dakota kid. Now, I'll take it. 46 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.439 I'll take it. Originally born in Omaha, but came out here to USC 47 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.039 in two thousand and three. I got graduated, I ran track and then 48 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.960 three years ago I decided to take the mindset of hurdling, which I was 49 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.520 a hurtler at USD, and I started a nonprofit called Hurdle Life And so 50 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:29.520 in the summer of twenty twenty two, everything was all shaken up and someone 51 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.360 told me, Terry, you've got what it takes to help people through adversity. 52 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.039 You've got what it takes to help people through chaos. You've gone through 53 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.240 it, You've got the mindset forward. You should go out and help other 54 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.919 people. And so I started Hurdle Life Coach Foundation with the intent of doing 55 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.479 mentorship and coaching to a RISU as an adults and we've been going at it 56 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.400 for three years now. I love that. And here's the thing I love 57 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.599 about Hurdle Life coaching is you're helping other people get over the hurdles in their 58 00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.439 life. Because there are people who absolutely positively have things that pop up in 59 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.800 their life that they feel like it's impossible to get over that. But there 60 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.639 is a way, isn't there. Yeap mindset, and it starts with mindset. 61 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.319 So I've been able to adopt the hurdle mindset on the track and We 62 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.280 just believe that the obstacles and barriers in life are also meant to be hurdles. 63 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.879 So that's what we do in the Change program to start with mindset and 64 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.000 just keep them in cursed and motivated that they can get over that hurdle that's 65 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.199 in front of them getting from them and their goals that they have set. 66 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.079 So now let's talk about the Change program. Because you've had two different classes 67 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.319 graduate. How many were in the first group and how many were in the 68 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:40.160 second group. So we graduated nine in this last pilot that we did. 69 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.199 The first time we graduated about the same. We started off with a fifteen, 70 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.160 so we have some that trickle off in the throughout the process. But 71 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:55.199 it's a group program for up to fifteen teenagers. And the teenagers we are 72 00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.240 reaching for John and we're attracting, you know, they come from background that 73 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.680 are not the most stable and the most consistent. So it's not only important 74 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.839 that we support them, but also their families and their parents and helping with 75 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.680 resource navigation even for their family. So it's a bigger picture than those might 76 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.560 recognize and see. But the fact that we got nine through the finish line 77 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.920 and our second one we got ten through the finish line in our first one. 78 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:25.279 We're celebrating the impact of being able to support these youths and their families 79 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.800 through our Change Mentorship program. And think about this, nineteen graduates total between 80 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.079 those two programs. That's nineteen lives you've directly impacted, but one hundreds, 81 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:43.279 probably thousands of lives you've impacted indirectly. Yeah. Absolutely, because there's a 82 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.319 ripple effect from everything that we do. Every choice, every action, every 83 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.000 behavior has a ripple effect. I can tell you that it's actually a cool 84 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.920 thing that happened that one of the little brothers to a teenager that we just 85 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.439 graduated, who's like twelve years old, looking at his fourteen year old brother, 86 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.319 going can I do the pro next? I want to go through what 87 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.160 my big brother went through. And so the siblings are being impacted, the 88 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.160 families are being impacted, and they're certainly a ripple effect from providing support that 89 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.399 we do. I love that. And even the students that started the program 90 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.680 they didn't make it to the finish line, I guarantee you they got something 91 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.240 out of the program. Even if there was something in the way that they 92 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.079 couldn't finish the program. They're walking away changed as well, So you made 93 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.680 even an impact in those lives as well, one hundred percent. And they're 94 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.079 a thing called dose response, John, that basically says, the greater the 95 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:36.480 dose of support, the greater the impact. But any dose is better than 96 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.639 no dose, and so absolutely, I mean, we had some things that 97 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.079 were unforeseen with some of the lives of some of our students that caused them 98 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.399 to go out. One of them, I'll tell you I didn't see this 99 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.079 coming. Foster kid. I had a foster student turning eighteen years old and 100 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.399 they were dead set on going to find and bio family, so they left 101 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.519 the state. And now all of a sudden, we didn't see coming. 102 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.399 But things like that happen when you're dealing with foster kids and other different dynamics. 103 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.920 But that dose response, something's better than nothing. And we absolutely are 104 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.879 providing support everything we got, these chances we get. I love that. 105 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.600 So will there be another program coming up? If somebody listening is going, 106 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.600 hey, I know somebody would be perfect for that change program, is there 107 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.920 an opportunity for them to get involved in another one coming soon? John? 108 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.240 I'm going to be doing this work as long as there's breathing my lungs and 109 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:31.120 my heart's beating, So not going to give up on finding the resources to 110 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:36.560 pull together another change program. We're absolutely intending to do another one here in 111 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.480 the first part of the year because we were able to get some support from 112 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.800 Salmon's Financial and my friend Greg Sands came alongside of us as well because he's 113 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.560 a big believer in the work we're doing it. So we've got some dollars 114 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.160 to do something in Q one, but we're still bootstrapping and so we can't 115 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.759 see too far past that. So other support, other corporate sponsors, individual 116 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.199 donors will help us to be able to get us sustained long term plan and 117 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.399 instead of being able how to do this being kind of quarter by quarter, 118 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.120 if somebody listening is saying, hey, I would be interested in helping out, 119 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.399 maybe they've got some budget left at the end of twenty twenty three, 120 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.279 or they're going, hey, we're working on our corporate budget right now for 121 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.560 next year. If they'd like to talk to you about how this might fit 122 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.639 in their plan, what's the best way for them to get in touch with 123 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.600 you. Yeah, no, I'm online for sure under my name Terry Liggins, 124 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.639 either on LinkedIn, or Facebook or her to Life Coach Foundation on Facebook. 125 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.799 We also have a website her a Life Coach Foundation dot com with a 126 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:37.000 gift button right there.

It was on 147 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.840 this day, November sixteenth, eighteen sixty nine, that WILLIAMS. Stevens passed 148 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.799 away in Sioux Falls. That makes his grave the oldest grave we know of 149 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.240 in town. As a matter of fact, William was actually buried at an 150 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.960 older city plot closer to downtown. That was before Mount Pleasant Cemetery was founded. 151 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.320 All of the remains at the old city burial ground were transported to that 152 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.799 new cemetery. William Stevens came to Sue Falls early on in eighteen fifty eight. 153 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.200 He evacuated along with the rest of the Sioux Falls residence during the Dakota 154 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.120 uprising in eighteen sixty two, but he ultimately returned to reclaim his land in 155 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.480 eighteen sixty nine. Stevens was already weakened by tuberculosis when he returned to Sue 156 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.600 Falls, and he was never able to recover. He passed away a few 157 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.559 short months after returning to his home in Sioux Falls.

You can find that podcast at John and 172 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.639 Heidishow dot com. Thanks for listening to the John and Heidishow Bonus Hour.
