From Beverly Hills to Homeless: What a story
A while back, through this blog, I met an extraordinary person. Mark Horvath used to be homeless, and now he does all kinds of amazing things, including blogging at Hardly Normal. Now he is onto a new project—documenting via video the stories of people in the situation he once knew all too well. Here is a story you must watch—one day an investment advisor, the next, homeless:

Mark not only has an incredible personal story, he also knows how to tell a story. These stark interviews with homeless people are riveting. If you’re an agency helping the homeless, I’d post them on your site and I’d reach out to Mark. If you’re a funder, I’d fund him. If you’re a nonprofit, I’d do as he does. Put a face on the problem—and the solution. Show, don’t tell.

It’s been thrilling to watch as Mark puts this together. He didn’t see an opportunity to shine, he saw an opportunity to make a difference. It’s an example of what happens when you follow your passion and listen to that which burns in your heart.
It’s not fabricated. Like the stories it’s real.
Bravo Mark. Bravo.
