Most of us walk past someone sleeping on the street and tell ourselves a story about how they got there.
In this episode I sit down with Mark Horvath, founder of Invisible People, and he challenges pretty much everything I thought I knew.
We talk about why most homeless people are actually sober, why affordable housing is the real issue and not personal failure, how politicians are using homeless people to score points, and why the most expensive thing we can do is leave people on the streets.
But we start with Mark's own story. He lost everything twice, ended up homeless on Hollywood Boulevard, rebuilt his life from scratch, then lost it all again in 2008. He didn't grab a camera to change the world. He just needed a reason to get up in the morning.
This one shifted something in me. I think it will for you too.
Mark Horvath is the founder of Invisible People, a nonprofit media publisher that has reached millions of people and helped change laws in California and Canada. He grew from 20,000 to over 1 million YouTube subscribers over 17 years, not through campaigns or hacks, just by showing up every day and telling the truth.
