TODAY’S GUEST

CNN named today’s guest Maggie Doyne as its Hero of the Year in 2015. She was honored by the Dalai Lama (yes, the Dalai Lama!) as an Unsung Hero of Compassion. There are simply too many recognitions to include in this short introduction, but suffice it to say, Maggie is an incredible woman. At age 19, Maggie used her life savings to build a home for orphaned children in war-ravaged Nepal. Today, she is mom to over 50 children! In 2010, she opened a school for the region’s most impoverished children. The school now serves 350 students and is rated top in the region. Her foundation is called BlinkNow because Maggie believes that in the blink of an eye, we can all make a difference.

After the interview, Eva told me how impressed she was that Maggie has dedicated her life to enabling kids who would not otherwise have the opportunity to Dream Big. What a remarkable legacy. What a remarkable woman. Thank you Maggie for being our guest 🙂
