BARNEGAT, N.J. - s4story -- What happens when you put 30 leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and innovators—each forged by moments of fear, uncertainty, and grit—into one book? You get a blueprint for courage. Today is the Day: Live It! – Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact offers a blueprint for courage, sharing the stories of changemakers from California to Uganda who are living boldly and creating meaningful impact.

In 2020, during COVID's grip on anything "normal," Jodi Hope Grinwald made a decision that pushed her to the edge of her comfort zone—she started a podcast. She had no idea who would be a guest, who would listen, or how she would make it work. That leap into the unknown became the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast—now heard in 131 countries—and ultimately, something far greater than a podcast. It became a table she built for others to have a seat and a voice, a place where authentic connection replaced competition, and where stories reached far beyond the moment they were told. Her guests are those who are making a difference in their corner of the world and beyond.

This isn't just a book. It's a global mosaic of 30 extraordinary voices—leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals who have all pushed past fear, uncertainty, and doubt to create change in their corner of the world and beyond. Without the podcast, these 30 paths would never have crossed. Now, they're united in a single work that proves one thing: courage is contagious.

The contributors, from California to Uganda, share turning points, transformative ideas, and heart-centered leadership in action. They reveal the moments they skirted the edge of comfort to create impact beyond what they imagined, often carrying the weight of not just their own dreams, but the responsibility to open doors for others.

"This book is about people who know that when your why is greater than your how, anything is possible," says Grinwald. "Every one of these changemakers had to stand at the edge of comfort to create an impact they couldn't yet see. And now we are all doing that together - living it every single day. For readers who are dreaming right now, wondering if they can really do the thing that scares them, I want them to know: I was once in that exact same place. So were many in this book. It's real, it's human, and it's transformative."

Today is the Day: Live It! – Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact will be released in late January 2026 in hardcover, softcover, and eBook formats. It's more than inspiration—it's a call to action for anyone who has ever stood on the edge of an idea, unsure of how to begin, and needed proof that extraordinary change is built one step at a time.

Live It! is an invitation to believe in the power of one voice—your own.
