## Resource

On the inaugural episode of It’s Giving, host Ingela Travers-Hayward is joined by her husband and nonprofit co-founder, William Perry . While future episodes will feature deep dives with world-class musicians about the causes they champion, this episode peels back the curtain on their own nonprofit: This Must Be The Place . Perry shares journey from the front lines of the opioid epidemic in Ohio and a ten-year prison sentence to becoming a leading voice in national harm reduction. It’s a story of survival, the "gravitational pull" of service, and the "butterfly effect" of a single life-saving kit of Narcan. “Everyone deserves a tomorrow if that chance is to be given.” Follow along with behind-the-scenes notes and resources on the causes each musicians champions: https://itsgivingpod.substack.com/ Enjoyed the show?
