Episode 27 - Revolved: The Courage to Begin Again

When the soul whispers, “There’s more,” the heart must listen. Katie Johnson shares her remarkable journey from a profit-driven career in pharmaceutical sales to co-founding Revolved, a nonprofit born from faith, humility, and a calling to serve. In this heartfelt conversation with Wendy Cohen, Katie reveals how a leap into the unknown led her to Africa, to Wild Hope, and to discovering a new rhythm of purpose.

Together, they explore how one courageous choice can ripple across continents — transforming not just lives, but hearts.

As a continuation of this unfolding story, Katie and her fellow Revolved co-founders — Savanna Wilson and Chris Newhouse — will be joining the 9th Annual PowerHouse SMART® Chicago Luxury Conference on November 5th, where they’ll share a short introduction to the audience about the essence and mission of Revolved and its cornerstone project Wild Hope.

Their presence bridges worlds — connecting the PowerHouse community’s philanthropic spirit with the profound impact taking root in Africa. A portion of every Conference ticket benefits Revolved and Wild Hope, marking just the beginning of a lasting collaboration that will continue through the 2nd PowerHouse SMART Africa Impact Trip in November 2026, alongside Revolved and Love for Africa.

This episode is a love letter to purpose, partnership, and the courage to begin again — for the sake of a more compassionate world.
