Who doesn’t like a good story with real-life superheroes? Well, that’s what we do at Impactually. Our globally recognized podcast features every day people doing extraordinary work for the benefit of the communities in which they live and often those beyond. We focus on how the influence of their work is inspiring others to act, the brands who actively partner with them by bringing resources to the issue, and the power of kindness. Listen, subscribe and share stories of positivity.
They say you can’t win ‘em all… but can you?
Welcome to Impactually, the power of one voice, multiplied.
Swift Intervention
Imagine opening your front door and seeing nothing but water. You knew a storm was coming but you never imagined it would be this bad. You climb to high ground, but relief is temporary. Then you hear it. The reverberations of a small water-craft coming towards you. But it’s not the Coast Guard or National Guard. It’s not even FEMA or law enforcement. It’s a neighbor – someone from your community – in their recreational motorboat. And they’re here to rescue you. This is the Cajun Navy, and our story starts here.
Target
For one man during COVID, his local park offered a virus-safe place to share time and camaraderie with others where few places existed. Armed with a frisbee and a few new friends, he found a calling to serve his diverse community in need of good clean (and green) fun. It’s called Target and our story starts here.
Change Agent
We want our kids (and ourselves for that matter) to emulate positive role models – people who inspire us to be better humans. Their influence affects the way we view the world around us and ultimately impacts decisions we make on how we conduct ourselves and live our lives. For one man growing up in the rural ghetto, he was drawn into a world of crime, quick cash, addiction, and incarceration. It’s a story about hard knocks, about finding unlikely role models in unlikely places, and about second chances. It’s called Change Agent and our story starts here.

Respect
Here we are a year into Covid and it’s still part of the landscape. But as restrictions ease, there is light at the end of the tunnel for those struggling to make ends meet.
