This Monday Moment, John O’Leary shares how On Fire For Good honoree Aimee Risser proves that showing up changes everything.

More than 20 years ago, my wife Beth and I volunteered to take on a Little Brother from our local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

I was reminded of that lesson when I read the nomination for this month’s On Fire For Good honoree, Aimee Risser. Let me explain.
