About Army of Normal Folks Podcast:
Populace research found that only 33% are contributing to their community at the level that they’d like to. This massive gap between wanting to help and feeling equipped to help is what Army of Normal Folks, sponsored by Stand Together, seeks to close. The movement and podcast were built on a simple belief: Our country’s biggest problems won’t be solved by fancy people in DC, but by An Army of Normal Folks simply doing what we can. The Army of Normal Folks platform exists to inspire, equip, and mobilize millions of individuals to take action to transform our communities and ultimately the country. It’s led by Coach Bill Courtney, the subject of the Oscar-winning film Undefeated.
