While Googling “poop” for a birthday banner, I found Kirk’s Dog Poop Initiative—and it changed everything. His wisdom through T4D emails was perfectly timed. We even shared the message at a company meeting, and later invited Kirk to speak. The impact was real—our team was engaged, inspired, and thankful.
