US United - This CEO Wants to Unite The Country & Created Unity Day

US United - This CEO Wants to Unite The Country & Created Unity Day
GuestAdam Mizel Co-Founder & CEO US UnitedWebsitehttps://www.us-united.org/About US UnitedUS United is a not-for-profit media collective building unity through storytelling, service, and human connection. Co-founded by business leader Adam Mizel and Sheriff Chris Swanson, the organization works to prove that Americans share common values and can bridge divides through community engagement. Programs include the Sheriff Unity Network, Holiday Giving Spectacular, and monthly 30 For US unity conversations. To take the Unity Pledge, visit us-united.org. Adam Mizel Bio: Adam Mizel's journey from Wall Street to corporate leader to building a grassroots unity movement wasn't exactly planned. After a successful 30-year business career, from Morgan Stanley, to launching private equity firms and hedge funds, to starting and running public and private companies, he found himself screaming at the news during the chaotic days of May 2020. George Floyd had been murdered, the country was in the midst of a pandemic, politicians and pundits amped up the rhetoric and many of us felt that the fabric of the country was ripping apart. At that moment, his wife Taunya delivered the wake-up call: "No one's hearing you if you scream at the TV." That insight sparked his biggest epiphany yet—instead of just making another donation, Adam was going to DO SOMETHING about America's divisions. He did not have a more developed concept than that, but as a serial entrepreneur, Adam was confident he would figure it out. What happened next surprised even him. Doors started opening in ways they never had during his business career. Through a social justice task force formed with CMO leadership organization PTTOW, he met Ken Nwadike, Jr. (the "Free Hugs Guy"), who in turn introduced him to Sheriff Chris Swanson of Flint, Michigan. Chris made global headlines when 3.2 billion people watched as he and his officers took off their riot gear and marched arm-in-arm with George Floyd protesters on May 30, 2020. Flint was one of the few American cities that did not burn that night. Their instant connection led to the co-founding of US United in 2021 and together they have grown it into a movement for unity that is proving that Americans aren't as divided as politicians and media want us to believe.Today, US United has built a network of close to 100 sheriffs committed to bringing unity into their communities. They have reached thousands of families across the country through giving events like the Holiday Spectacular, broken people out of their bubbles with a unity pledge and national online conversations called 30 For US, and just completed a summer cross-country road trip documenting real stories of unity happening at the grassroots level. Adam went from yelling at his TV to building a movement that's challenging the narrative about American division by empowering Americans with the tools they need to reunite our country – and inspiring others along the way. One voice is loud, millions are a movement.
