When it comes to helping, "Helping the Helpers" shows us how small gestures can make for big smiles! With Victoria's glowing energy and Marty’s motivational spark, this episode dives into the rewards of being in service to others and why it’s not just work—it’s a way of life.
A Bacon-Filled Recipe for Helping
Marty, as always, brings structure to the show with his signature BACON acronym:
B - Be Present: It’s about showing up and immersing yourself fully in the moment. Don’t worry about what could’ve been or might be; focus on the now.
A - Advocate: Stand up for people who need your voice, especially those who may struggle to be heard on their own.
C - Contribute: Time, money, skills, or even a simple social media share. There’s always something of value you can give.
O - Offer Kindness: Small acts and words of kindness matter more than you think. And nope, you don’t need a thank-you to feel good about it!
N - Nurture Connections: Build bridges, create opportunities, and bring people together because collaboration ignites community growth.
A Smile Can Spark a Movement
Victoria, the Member Services Manager at the Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce and motorcycle enthusiast, shares her switch from manufacturing to managing community events. COVID may have disrupted her life, but it also led her to discover her true calling. Now she thrives in bringing people together through events that support businesses and charities alike. “It’s fulfilling to see the joy that these events bring, both to the community and to their cause,” she tells Marty.
An Event to Remember
A highlight of the episode? Victoria talks passionately about her role in planning the Veterans Path of Hope motorcycle run. With every rev of an engine and every stop along the scenic route, the mission to uplift displaced veterans takes center stage. From the national anthem sung at the McHenry VFW to the raucous parties at the final stops, she reminds us that community impact can also be a whole lot of fun.
Small Businesses, Big Hearts
Victoria and Marty don’t stop there. They highlight the vital role of small businesses, those unsung heroes of the economy, and the importance of shopping local. Supporting a local florist, a family-run café, or a budding tailor doesn't just make for a good purchase, it strengthens the very fabric of your community.
Victoria's insight? “Small businesses are the heartbeat of a vibrant, welcoming community. Supporting them isn’t just about dollars and cents. It’s about creating connections and keeping our neighborhoods alive."
