On Who You Was a Girl Scout?
In this episode, we meet up with our friends and fellow volunteers, India Moore-Harper and Seretha Etheridge, to discuss a project they started together - their own, local Girl Scout troop. They were able to give some real insight into the challenges and the planning that goes into an endeavor like this. We hope this conversation gives listeners a better understanding of the effort it takes to get a project up and running, and also the rewards it can bring! If you are interested in finding out more information about Troop 71233, you can contact India on Instagram at @india_ashley or Seretha at @xaydens_mom. You can also go to www.gsneo.org (http://www.gsneo.org/) for information about this troop and the Girl Scout experience in Northeast Ohio.

Introductions
Welcome to Our Brain Trust Podcast! We are a group of like minded friends and professionals in the greater Cleveland area hoping to encourage others to better take care of each other through service to their communities. After years of volunteering together and for each other's projects, and having conversations about how and why we do it we thought we should share our experiences with others on the podcast platform.
