  • How Connection Turns Into Community Impact
    2026/03/26

    In this episode of Let’s Share, Dr. Leigh Byers welcomes Manal Fakhoury, founder of Ollin (pronounced "All in") Women International, for a conversation centered on connection, leadership, and the power of women supporting women.

    Manal shares how a simple invitation to gather women grew into a global movement rooted in collaboration, personal growth, and community impact. Together, they discuss how meaningful change begins within and expands outward—into families, organizations, and communities.

    This episode highlights:

    • The importance of connection and shared experiences
    • How women can lead through encouragement and collaboration
    • The value of focusing on what is working and worth celebrating
    • How mindset shapes the way we show up for others
    • Creating ripple effects through intentional relationships

    At the heart of this conversation is the Let’s Share mindset: Giving + Receiving = Sharing

    When we choose connection over division and encouragement over comparison, we create space for growth, impact, and lasting relationships.

  • Love and Justice Can Prevent Human Trafficking Globally!
    2025/11/03

    What if preventing human trafficking could be as tangible as standing watch at a bus station, asking the right questions—and changing a life for $112? In this powerful conversation, host Dr. Leigh Byers sits down with Hannah Munn, Senior Director of International Installation & Compliance at Love Justice International, to explore how their faith-driven transit monitoring model intercepts potential victims before exploitation occurs.

    Hannah shares the mission and mechanics behind Love Justice’s frontline work—how trained monitors partner with local leaders, data systems, and prayer to spot red flags in real time and intervene with courage and compassion. From early intercepts that reunite minors with family, to a “fail fast, steward well” expansion strategy across 18 countries around the world, the outcomes are both measurable and deeply hopeful. With intercepts happening about every 20 minutes and an average cost of ~$112 per intercept, prevention isn’t just possible—it’s powerful.
