What does it take for one person to feed millions and turn a simple act of service into a global mission?

In this episode of Unfinished Business with Eric Mulvin, Eric sits down with Andre Roberson, founder and executive director of the Power of One Foundation. Over the past 17+ years, Andre has led initiatives focused on food insecurity, education, and community empowerment, impacting millions of lives across the United States and internationally.

But Andre’s journey didn’t start in the nonprofit world. Before launching the Power of One Foundation, he was pursuing a career in entertainment, acting in projects like Notorious, appearing in commercials alongside Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Chris Rock, and even appearing in more than 150 episodes of Days of Our Lives.

What started as a calling to serve during the pandemic turned into a massive effort that helped feed millions of people. Andre shares the incredible story of the moment a 10-mile line of cars showed up for food distribution during COVID and how that experience helped shape the mission behind Power of One.

Eric and Andre also talk about saying yes to unexpected opportunities, how faith and risk-taking opened doors around the world, and how Andre’s work has expanded from local food drives to international partnerships in places like Mexico and Africa.

And if you think his entertainment career is behind him… think again. Andre also shares a teaser about a new film project he’s involved with and you won't believe the major actor that Andre is releasing a film with!

If you're a business owner, leader, or someone looking to make a difference in your community, this conversation will inspire you to think bigger about what one person can do.

Because sometimes the biggest impact starts with a single act of service.
