Episode 8

Greg Horn created this non-profit program and podcast in 2017 after the suicide of a friend caused Greg to search for a way he could help people who are feeling life-threatening despair.

We talk about how he himself suffered bankruptcy, loss of his business, loss of his home, and loss of his marriage in one day in 1997 and how he found hope to carry on.

His HOPE is Here Today radio program is broadcast daily on WJMM 99.1 here in Lexington, Kentucky.

And it is available as a podcast. Just search for HOPE is Here Today Podcast by Greg J Horn on your favorite podcast app. The show’s logo to look for is in the picture gallery below.

Greg is also an excellent inspirational, educational, entertaining, energetic, and motivational speaker. His website has a One-Sheet and videos that a meeting planner will find useful.

Greg mentions his program’s administrator, Susan Shurkey-Coates.

Susan was the executive director for an organization that I was a member of and I know what professional work she does. Greg is blessed to have her on his team.

She is the Creative Director for Legacy Video and Marketing Services.  Susan provides administrative, planning, organizational brainstorming, and marketing services including website design, email marketing, newsletters, and promotional videos and more.  She’s been working with HOPE is Here Today since it began in 2017. I recommend her.
