A new book titled “Today is the Day. Live It!” by Jodi Hope Grinwald brings together stories from 31 changemakers spanning locations from California to Uganda. The collection features individuals who have stepped beyond their comfort zones to create impact and drive change in their communities.
Grinwald, a professional coach and founder of the “Today is the Day Changemakers” podcast and International Changemakers Forum, said Wednesday, “This book is proof that one decision can create ripples you may never fully see. What began as my own leap into coaching, podcasting, and global community-building has now woven voices from across continents into a collective story of courage, connection, and impact.”
She added, “This project proves that even in uncertain times, our stories can bring us together. ‘Today is the Day. Live It!’ is an invitation for every reader to trust that stepping beyond your comfort zone opens doors you never imagined.”
The book includes praise from retired U.S. General Stanley McChrystal: “Sometimes we need to be reminded what’s truly important—and what’s possible,” McChrystal said. “Noted podcaster, connection strategist, and certified professional coach Jodi Grinwald, herself an inspiration, has connected us to a group of ordinary people whose stories and insights are nothing short of extraordinary. We are in that group if only we give ourselves permission to join.”
Contributors come from various backgrounds including business leaders, nonprofit founders, veterans, coaches, authors, educators, students and entrepreneurs. Among them are Amy Delman (Amy Delman Public Relations), Ann Marie Baker (Design 446), Catherine Curry Williams (She Angels Foundation), Chaya Pamula (PAMTEN Inc.), Fred C. Wasiak (Food Bank of South Jersey), Helen Archontou (YWCA Northern New Jersey), Dr. Nicol Nicola (NJDOL), Christine Namusaazi (She Unit Uganda), and many others.
