Team Powdered Donut™ takes Gary’s tradition in memory of his late wife, Maureen, and makes it about all of us. “One Story. One Moment. One Donut at a time.”
S1 E17: Living Cross Wise & Divine Appointments | Dr. Gail Bones, Author, Speaker, Singer-Songwriter
There are episodes and there are episodes. I couldn’t think of a better episode as we “wrap” Season One than this one with Dr. Gail Bones. This is an episode that was truly months in the making. I first met Gail on a flight from Austin to Nashville, which we discuss in the podcast. The...
Excited by this latest episode with Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International.

My family’s connection with Habitat for Humanity came when my late wife, Maureen, was getting her Masters at the...
Jane Kristen Marczewski, known as Nightbirde, was an inspiration to the world. Many remember her as the winner of Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer on America’s Got Talent in 2021, but most remember her by her wise words and demeanor. Jane represented so many who were going through their own difficult journeys when she walked on...

In this episode, we take a different path as we talk about tribes and community...
Gary’s heartfelt journey will span the U.S., stopping at all 73 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers and other meaningful locations along the way, starting with a Southwest leg in the Fall of 2026 and continuing across the country in June 2027 . At every stop, powdered donuts will be shared and stories will be collected –...
Some episodes can’t be introduced. They have to be experienced. This conversation with Mark Roithmayr, CEO of the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, is one of those episodes. Like Mark, I too was forever changed by a young man, Kethan, and his inspiring parents. Like Mark, I, too, will continue to hope to honor his memory...
With Veteran’s Day rooted in Armistice Day (which ended World War I), this episode of the Team Powdered Donut™ podcast is dropping at the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,” when the peace agreement, the armistice, was signed. Like Arena Labs, Brian Ferguson is driven by a deep commitment to serving...
