The Brighter Futures Podcast by Rodman for Kids
Telling the stories behind the impact—and the people building brighter futures.
The Brighter Futures Podcast by Rodman for Kids is where mission meets conversation. Hosted by the Rodman for Kids team, including Executive Director, Amy Rossman, and Marketing & Communications Manager, Jane Lima, each episode features authentic, inspiring stories from the people driving change for youth across Massachusetts—and beyond.
You'll hear honest conversations with those who are making a difference—nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, educators, youth participants, and members of the Rodman for Kids team—as we dive into the heart of what it takes to create lasting impact. From the evolution of our Theatre for Kids program to the legacy of the Rodman Ride for Kids and the partnerships powering our mission, we’re telling the stories that don’t always make the headlines—but make all the difference.
Because brighter futures don’t just happen. They’re built—together.

Episode 1: Change Isn't Easy, But It Can Be Good
Change isn’t always easy, but it’s often where the most meaningful growth begins. In this episode, Amy and Jane open up about the bold choices Rodman for Kids has made in its 35th year, from reimagining a decades-old event calendar to launching a fresh new brand identity.
Together, they reflect on the power of collaboration and why this podcast was created - to connect, share, and build brighter futures in partnership with others. And through it all, they remind us that when you stay rooted in your mission, even the biggest changes feel less daunting.
Because real transformation doesn’t just happen, it’s built on empowerment, connection, and the courage to stay true to your purpose.
