Common Good Issues - Terry Esau, Founder of Free Bikes For Kids

Terry Esau stops by the show to talk about how and why he founded Free Bikes for Kids and then Free Guitars for Kids. Free Bikes for Kids is on track to give away 1 million bikes to under-resourced kids in the next couple years.

Terry Esau has over 10 years in the non-profit sector, having exercised his leadership as the founder of FB4K in 2010.

In addition, Terry has been instrumental in catalyzing the move from a Minnesota-only platform to the 12 US cities that FB4K currently calls home. Terry has been recognized for his societal contributions both nationally (USA Today Make A Difference award) and internationally (Guinness World Records). In his spare time, Terry is a published author and speaker on various topics, including the ‘Wellbeing of under-resourced kids in America.’ In addition to his bicycle advocacy, Terry is an avid cyclist, musician and artist.
