trace a path to where they find themselves today.\u00a0 My guest this go around is Loose Ends\u2026or more specifically the cofounders Masey and Jen.\u00a0 These two are friends on opposite ends of the country who have joined forces to create Loose Ends, which is a nonprofit that \u201caims to ease grief, create community, and inspire generosity by matching volunteer handwork finishers with projects people have left unfinished due to death or disability.\u201d\u00a0 As you can imagine, it is a powerful story.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy this chat with Masey and Jen. <\/span><\/span><span
