ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
What happens when purpose meets action?
In this powerful episode of Driven By Purpose, we sit down with Ed Lynch, founder of Mychal’s Learning Place, a growing organization dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for people with disabilities. What started as a deeply personal mission inspired by his daughter has grown into a multifaceted operation that includes after-school programs, job training, a commercial bakery, and a fully operational café employing individuals with disabilities.
Ed shares the emotional story behind his “why,” the challenges he faced building something from scratch, and how he scaled a mission-driven organization into a sustainable, community-backed business.
This conversation goes beyond inspiration. It’s about action, leadership, and building a future where inclusive employment is the norm.
