About this episode

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Willy was joined by Anthony Shriver, founder, chairman, and CEO of Best Buddies, the leading global organization dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Inspired by his mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver who started Special Olympics, Anthony has taken Best Buddies from an idea to a leading global non-profit impacting millions of lives. He and Willy discussed his upbringing and how his parents’ emphasis on giving back shaped him, the story behind creating Best Buddies and developing it into global movement, the importance of inclusion, the challenges of mental health, his commitment to faith and living a life of service, and much more.
