We’re excited to share that the WISE Scholarship Program and The Steele Family Foundation were recently featured on The Todd Boffo Show! In this inspiring episode, Todd sits down with Stacey Steele, Director of The Steele Family Foundation, and Ryan Gurr, who leads our corporate development work.
Together, they dive into the heart of our mission — transforming education and opportunity worldwide by identifying and empowering what we call “stranded superstars.” These are young people with extraordinary potential and purpose who simply need access, support, and someone to believe in them.
The episode explores:
- The foundation’s origin story, rooted in Mother Teresa’s challenge to “educate my people.”
- How the WISE Scholarship Program is shaping well-rounded global citizens through academics, life-skills training, mentorship, and community engagement.
- The innovative use of psychometric assessments and technology to help students uncover their strengths and align their futures with purpose.
- Real stories of transformation — from young entrepreneurs in Africa to students across the United States discovering what’s possible.
- The powerful role of business, philanthropy, and faith in building sustainable global change.
We’re honored to have the opportunity to share this work with a wider audience and grateful to Todd Boffo for creating space to highlight the mission, the impact, and the incredible students who inspire us every day.
