53. Collaboration: Nobody Gets There Alone - Frank Bell

If you've heard the phrase "Pass It On," you'll relate to Frank Bell's story. As with many a college freshmen, Frank had little direction and no idea of his purpose. Thanks to several caring and supportive people, Frank eventually found his stride and graduated with a Masters degree. 

As a result, he is determined to help others with the same guidance, support, and care that he received. For thirty years, Frank has invested himself into meaningful work, high education, nonprofit leadership, and community development. 

On February 1, 2017, Frank became the first Executive Director of Elevate St. Louis, the local branch of the nationwide Elevate organization. 

Frank’s life can be summed up by his organization’s slogan, “No one gets there alone”. Every accomplishment he has achieved has always come by collaborating with people who work for the good of their communities. 

Listen as he discusses the gifts he's received and those he helps to give in support of bettering lives and communities.
