#23 Building A Nest

Mary Grace McCaskill, Executive Director of Ann's Nest, joins the Purpose Maker podcast to share how true leadership is built on influence, adding value to others, and developing people to reach their full potential. With more than 20 years leading nonprofit teams and raising millions to support children's hospitals, healthcare, and community initiatives, Mary Grace embodies the principle that leadership isn't about position—it's about positively influencing those around you to create lasting impact.

At Ann's Nest, she is guiding the realization of a powerful vision: building dignified, inclusive housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Northern Michigan's Emmet and Charlevoix counties. This episode explores how intentional leadership—rooted in serving others, building trust, and empowering teams—addresses a deep family concern: ensuring loved ones with IDD have supportive, person-centered futures long after parents are gone. Hear insights on growing influence through daily growth, prioritizing people over programs, and leading communities toward greater purpose and inclusion.

A must-listen for leaders, advocates, and anyone committed to making a difference by lifting others higher. Find Mary Grace
