Have you ever randomly reached out to someone whom you didn't know yet they were gracious enough to respond? Then 8 years of silence by you and out of the blue you reach out to them once more and yet again they are gracious to respond. Well, that's a quick recap of how our conversation with our friend Sandy Pagnotti came to be.

Sandy has been President/CEO of the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore, MD, since 2010. Before that, Sandy spent 15 years with Feats, Inc. and also worked for the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. A frequent speaker and panelist and colleges and professional settings all over, has won multiple awards and honored three times as one of Maryland’s Top 100 Women.

I have known Sandy since around 2018 when our goal back then was to film inside the Baltimore RMHC since that is a place my family knows all too well. 99% of our conversation has been via email but today Sandy carved out some time to chat with me. Sandy is a sweet, genuine person who has a larger than life smile and an even bigger heart and I’m stoked to share our conversation with all of you.

This is Why We Pod.

(Thank you to Vicky Laws, Brenda Brown & Emily Zikorus for playing a key in role in making sure my initial 2018 email got to the right person!)
