Spotlight on Good People by Robert of Philadelphia

Ironman Heart, Purpose-Driven Life: The Story of Mitchell Vanderhagen

Robert DiLella Owner, Humble Servant to an extraordinary Team Season 1 Episode 14

In this powerful episode of Spotlight on Good People, we welcome Mitchell Vanderhagen — a husband, father, endurance athlete, faith-driven leader, and co-founder of the Nash to Naples songwriter festival.

Mitch opens up about the handwritten letters from his father that still guide him, the spiritual foundation that sustains him, and the intentional way he approaches marriage, parenting, and purpose. We explore the creation of Nash to Naples — a music festival that has now raised over $220,000 for military families and children in crisis — and why it’s about so much more than the music.

This isn’t just a conversation about success — it’s about character, conviction, and living every day with clarity. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, parent, or purpose-seeker, Mitch’s story will leave you inspired to live louder, love harder, and walk your own mission with heart.
