Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you The Red Pegasus Podcast's fifth guest!
Throughout our series of guests, we welcome Seth Block to the show. Seth was born in Philadelphia, moved to Dallas in 1993 and has been here ever since. He is our podcast's self-titled, "Dallas' influencer of good vibes".
Seth has been heavily active in the local nonprofit scene for a few years now. Not only is he involved in good works in and around the DFW area, but he also is an incredible person and it is shown throughout this conversation. Just follow his Instagram account or check out the numerous organizations (all listed below) he has served in or is currently a part of.
Throughout episode 48, Seth and the guys discuss how the average person can get involved in volunteering along with a few local places to start. He shares a fantastic story of how he ended up being "voluntold" to run in an Ironman relay down in Waco for an event benefiting Refugee Services of Texas.
Speaking of stories, for the first time ever, Seth opens up about the time he served unaccompanied migrant minors at an emergency shelter. They were underserved and oftentimes felt imprisoned here in Dallas nearly a year ago. Seth would share that an ambulance would frequently show up to take a child to the hospital and the food they were served was horrid, so bad that the people employed at the facility, were having their own food delivered to them. This is just a few things that turned the sickening story into major news. That was just the beginning of the story of how Seth and other volunteers attempted to improve conditions within the shelter and advocate for the kids.
(Disclaimer: None of the organizations Seth is, or has been, a part of were involved in the operations or conditions at the emergency shelter for unaccompanied migrant minors.)
