Today’s Guest: Bob Dalton
We’re kicking off Season 7 with our friend and Comfort Cases supporter, Bob Dalton — founder of Sackcloth & Ashes, the company behind stunning Italian-made blankets. For every blanket sold, one is donated to a local shelter. Bob and his team have already given countless blankets to Comfort Cases, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
In this episode, Rob and Bob dive into:
  • Why community matters now more than ever
  • How Sackcloth & Ashes is transforming giving with a one-for-one model
  • Bob’s exciting new app LOCL, designed to reconnect us with our neighbors, groups, and events nearby
