What if the greatest legacy of loss isn’t grief—but service?
In this powerful conversation, Jeff Gould sits down with Mike Turner, Executive Director of Owen’s Outfitters, to share an extraordinary story of hope born from heartbreak. After losing his son Owen, Mike and his family chose to transform unimaginable loss into a mission that is changing lives every day.
Owen’s Outfitters collects donated medical equipment—from wheelchairs and hospital beds to walkers, knee scooters, and countless other essential items—and provides them free of charge to anyone who needs them. No insurance requirements. No income limits. No complicated red tape. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
In this interview, you’ll discover:
• How one family’s tragedy became a movement of compassion
• Why an estimated tens of billions of dollars of usable medical equipment are discarded each year
• How Owen’s Outfitters has already kept millions of dollars of equipment in use instead of landfills
• The simple philosophy that has fueled remarkable growth
• Why this model could be replicated in communities across America
• The inspiring power of choosing purpose after profound loss
This isn’t just a story about medical equipment. It’s a story about purpose, generosity, community, and the incredible impact ordinary people can have when they refuse to let suffering have the final word.
