Summary
Luke Mickelson was just a farm kid from Idaho who built one bunk bed for a family in need and accidentally launched Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a national nonprofit that has delivered over 100,000 beds to children sleeping on floors. In this episode, Luke joins Sarah to share the story behind the movement and gets candid about "founder syndrome", the painful reality of building something so big it starts to feel like it's leaving you behind.
