What does one person in a slightly smelly chicken suit have to teach us about building a stronger community? Quite a lot, actually. Erik sits down with local community advocate Tim McMahon to talk about mental health awareness, civic engagement, voter registration, and why simply showing up can change lives. From holding signs promoting the 988 crisis line to encouraging neighbors to get involved at town meetings and Vail Yeti hockey games, Tim shares why connection, compassion, and persistence matter more than recognition. It's an inspiring conversation about ordinary people making an extraordinary impact—one conversation, one sign, and one act of kindness at a time.
