Manage episode 422432040 series 3578788
The catalyst for Wave occurred when Jeff encountered Darryl Zilinski near his parents' home. Jeff noticed a van in rough shape with a man sleeping inside. Acting on a feeling, Jeff approached the van, knocked on the window, and asked if he needed help. Darryl shared his story, and Jeff provided him with encouragement and assurance that things would improve. This encounter left a lasting impact on both of them, but Jeff lost sight of Darryl for a while.
Months later, just before leaving for the EntreLeadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Jeff spotted Darryl's van near the convenience store. He immediately turned around to check on Darryl, who looked significantly better. Their initial encounter had changed Darryl's life, giving him hope and purpose. This emotional interaction marked a turning point for Jeff and Darryl, eventually leading to their friendship and the inception of the Wave concept during Jeff's flight home.
