Episode 23: Uplift Kids with Drew Hansen and Amanda Suarez

The Faith Transition Podcast

In this episode, I have a great conversation with Drew Hansen and Amanda Suarez who created the platform and movement Upflift Kids.

Amanda has spent 20 years experiencing our education system from every angle. In addition to completing an B.A. in Elementary Education and an M.A. in School Psychology, Amanda has volunteered in many capacities inside schools - She’s convinced that what kids need most are relationships filled with presence and love, where they can safely learn - She believes kids are capable of being with whatever life brings, both the beauty and the pain - she is on a mission to help children, including her own four kids, stay connected to their inner aliveness so that they can show up in the world as the most honest, undiluted version of themselves.

Drew was initially drawn to business for its potential to positively impact the world. In his career, he built and sold three companies, consulted several in the Fortune 50, and published over a hundred articles in Forbes on topics such as creativity, innovation, strategy, leadership, team building, and economic system change. But despite the success, these experiences caused him to question whether business is indeed a force for good. Uplift represents the change he wishes to see in the world. He believes in the power of people to harness their collective wisdom to manifest a more sacred economy today, not tomorrow.
