From Vietnam to Philanthropy: The Life I Never Planned Stephen Rosedale
🎧 Listen to this and other episodes at <b>www.joidenver.com/podcasts.</b><br /><b></b><br />Welcome to Zero Percent, the podcast that explores the outsized impact of the Jewish people! 🌟Vietnam veteran and healthcare entrepreneur Stephen Rosedale built one of America's largest post-acute care systems, but his most defining moments happened long before that. In this episode, Stephen shares how a chance encounter in college led him to Israel, how combat in Vietnam forged an unbreakable promise to be his "brother's keeper," and how a single tap on the shoulder at a bar mitzvah changed his life at 47.<br /><br />Discover how Stephen's philosophy of "hearts touching hearts" became both the foundation of a 25,000-employee company and a blueprint for transforming Jewish life in Cincinnati from founding a kollel to building schools and synagogues and supporting Israeli communities rebuilding after October 7th.<br /><br />Whether you're thinking about what it means to give, how to pass philanthropic values to the next generation, or how near-death experiences shape a life of purpose, Stephen's story is a masterclass in turning personal trials into communal impact. This episode asks a simple but powerful question: when you feel that tap on the shoulder urging you to do good, will you stop and listen?<br /><br /><b>CONNECT WITH US:</b><br /><b>🎧 Listen to all our podcasts: [www.joidenver.com/podcasts]</b><br /><br /><b>Follow us for more: </b><br />Website - https://www.joidenver.com<br />Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joidenver<br />Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/JOIdenver <br />YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JOIdenver<br />Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/jewishdiy<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Subscribe to "JOI to the World" to access all our podcasts, including Yada Yada Yiddish, Kids Say the Deepest Things, Reconnect, and Dear Rabbi.<br /><br />Join us as we uncover the treasures in our backyard and explore what makes the Jewish people extraordinary! 🕎📚🎙️

Robin Chotin: Living Forever Through Legacy - A Lifetime of Jewish Giving
🎧 Listen to this and other episodes at <b>www.joidenver.com/podcasts.</b><br /><br />Welcome to Zero Percent, the podcast that explores the outsized impact of the Jewish people! 🌟<br /><br />Join us as Robin Chotin shares her deeply moving journey of Jewish philanthropy alongside her late husband, Stephen, of blessed memory, whose impact on Denver's Jewish community remains unparalleled. Discover how Robin's parents quietly instilled a sense of responsibility through their actions rather than words, teaching her that "if you are blessed in this world, if you have the capacity to be able to help other people, then it's what you have to do."<br /><br />Hear Robin's transformative story about her missions to Israel with Federation, where walking into apartment buildings riddled with bullet holes from Gaza brought the struggles of the Jewish people directly to the forefront of her eyes. Learn how seeing something firsthand—not just reading about it—changed everything about her commitment to giving.<br /><br />Robin opens up about the challenges of passing on philanthropic values to the next generation, revealing how her children initially resented her constant community involvement yet ultimately embraced the same values, now taking their own children to volunteer at assisted living facilities. From her grandchildren's service work in New York to her daughter Whitney's community involvement in Denver, Robin's greatest accomplishment isn't measured in dollars but in the saplings that grew from her family tree.<br /><br />Whether you're navigating difficult times reminiscent of World War II and the Depression or seeking to create lasting impact through Federation, JFS, National Jewish Hospital, or your local community, Robin's wisdom reminds us why firsthand experience and persistent commitment matter more than the size of any single gift. This episode challenges us to recognize that we live comfortably in Denver while others face unimaginable struggles and asks what we will do with that blessing. Discover why Robin wants to "live forever" to witness the potential still ahead and what it truly means to leave a legacy that transcends generations.<br /><br /><b>CONNECT WITH US:</b><br /><b>🎧 Listen to all our podcasts: [www.joidenver.com/podcasts]</b><br /><br /><b>Follow us for more: </b><br />Website - https://www.joidenver.com<br />Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joidenver<br />Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/JOIdenver <br />YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JOIdenver<br />Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/jewishdiy<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Subscribe to "JOI to the World" to access all our podcasts, including Yada Yada Yiddish, Kids Say the Deepest Things, Reconnect, and Dear Rabbi.<br /><br />Join us as we uncover the treasures in our backyard and explore what makes the Jewish people extraordinary! 🕎📚🎙️
