Ep 29: Building with Purpose, Tech with Heart, and Real‑Time Encouragement for the Uphill Moments

Transcript

What if your boldest idea wasn’t just a business—but a movement?

In this episode of Courage & Purpose, I sit down with Emily Zaccardi, co‑founder of Hollarhype, to unpack how one meaningful moment—being cheered on by a friend during a hard run—ignited a startup that created a tech‑powered community of encouragement.

We talk about the power of real‑time support, building with purpose (not perfection), and how to stay relentless in your mission when the road gets messy. Emily’s journey reminds us that small acts of presence can spark ripple effects of connection, hope, and impact—and that purpose‑driven leadership starts with listening to your gut and trusting your values.
