#55 Tragedy to Trailblazing: Kevin Hoover's Mission To Hug Your People

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast  I share a quick message about 9/11 and pay tribute to all the heroes and victims who lost their lives on that tragic day. May we always remember.  Into the episode we go where I have a  heart-wrenching yet empowering episode, join me as I dive into an incredible conversation with Kevin Hoover, entrepreneur, consultant, and the founder of Hug Your People. Kevin's story is one filled with the raw realities of life, messiness, and a transformation born out of hardship. 💪Kevin opens up about his picture-perfect suburban life, where one moment he was the dad on the soccer field with his cappuccino ☕, and the next, he was thrust into a whirlwind—his son was diagnosed with cancer. The shift from “soccer dad” to “cancer dad” happened in the blink of an eye, with no warning signs or preparation. 🚁 Kevin shares the terrifying moment when his son was airlifted to the hospital due to kidney failure caused by a tumor. 💔🌪️Through the chaos, Kevin found a new sense of clarity, purpose, and strength. Despite the heartache, Kevin and his family rallied together, and his son bravely fought through the unimaginable. 🙌 Kevin details the physical and emotional toll, from collapsing on the kitchen floor in exhaustion to juggling his business life during his son’s treatment.Out of this experience came a beautiful idea—Hug Your People. Inspired by his son’s resistance to wheelchairs and preference for riding in wagons, Kevin and his family began donating wagons to other pediatric cancer patients. To date, they’ve donated over 400 wagons to families going through similar battles. 🚂💕🌟Kevin also dives into how this messy journey changed his approach to life and business. After learning how to balance life while running a business during his son’s treatment, he found that focusing only on what matters most led to success—tripling his revenue while working less. Now, Kevin helps others find their time and create meaningful, purpose-driven lives.Where You Can Find Kevin 🌐If you’re ready to reclaim your time and realign your life with purpose, connect with Kevin:Instagram/TikTok/YouTube: @themissionstomarginsWebsite: mynextcrest.comDon’t forget to connect with Kevin and check out Hug Your People for more info on how you can support pediatric cancer research and families. ✨ 💫Where to find Everything’s Messy Wellness: https://www.everythingsmessywellness.com/ https://x.com/everythingsmes/status/1767942253899817017?s=46https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0KpmYorVuQrJdBBXipXvAEyy9XNfuwFJ9tRfxzG1Nncdu9JUMJe6gp5U5xAmNMiQ4l&id=100009159016103https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4db6XDLhiy/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==https://youtube.com/@everythingsmessy?si=XMg2gOkl-YvZwwlc
