In Act to Impact with Brandi DeVries, listeners are inspired to transform their inner drive into meaningful action. The Edina resident and current Mrs. Minnesota International has compelling conversations with changemakers, survivors and community leaders. The podcast aims to inspire listeners to harness their unique gifts for positive change.

What inspired you to create your podcast?

I launched Act to Impact with Brandi DeVries as a way to continue to use my gifts and resources to support the childhood cancer community. As a long-time fundraiser and advocate for a national nonprofit, Children’s Cancer Research Fund, I’ve met families who have shared their personal pediatric cancer stories with me. Their stories have inspired me. The stories aren’t mine to share, though, so I’ve invited pediatric cancer families and impact makers in our everyday lives to share their stories with a broader audience through the podcast. I feel strongly that these stories will inspire people to take action to make an impact with a cause close to their heart.

What key message or lessons do you most hope to share with your listeners?

Listeners will learn how they can make a difference through the three step formula—ACT: Aware, Connect, Take Action. The episodes will inspire listeners to become aware of their unique gifts, skills and talents they may not be tapping into. They can connect with an organization to use their gifts or apply their skills to their daily life. And then take action by using their gifts and skills to make a lasting impact.

Listen to Act to Impact on your preferred podcast platform. Brandi DeVries competes for the title of Mrs. International this month.
