BARNEGAT, N.J. - TelAve -- At a time when the world feels increasingly divided, a new book is offering a powerful reminder that courage, connection, and shared purpose still have the ability to unite people across borders and backgrounds. Today is the Day. LIVE IT!, authored and compiled by Jodi Hope Grinwald, CPC, ELI-MP, brings together the voices of 31 changemakers from California to Uganda, each sharing a deeply personal story that illustrates what becomes possible when individuals step beyond comfort and into meaningful action.

Drawing on Grinwald's work as a certified professional coach, leadership and connection strategist, host of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, heard in more than 131 countries and 1,135 cities, and creator of the International Changemakers Forum, Today is the Day. LIVE IT! serves as both a roadmap and an invitation. Through stories of reinvention, resilience, leadership and choice, the book explores how moments of uncertainty often become catalysts for extraordinary growth. Each chapter underscores a central theme: transformational change begins when we decide to act, even before we feel fully ready.

"This book is proof that one decision can create ripples you may never fully see," said Grinwald. "What began as my own leap into coaching, podcasting, and global community building has now woven voices from across continents into a collective story of courage, connection and impact. Today is the Day. LIVE IT! invites every reader to trust that stepping beyond comfort opens doors they never imagined."

The book has already earned praise from respected global leaders, including retired U.S. Army Four-Star General Stanley McChrystal.

"Sometimes we need to be reminded what's truly important and what's possible," McChrystal shared. "Noted podcaster, connection strategist, and certified professional coach Jodi Grinwald, herself an inspiration, has connected us to a group of ordinary people whose stories and insights are nothing short of extraordinary. We are in that group if only we give ourselves permission to join. A great pick me up read."

While the contributors span industries, geographies, and lived experiences, they are united by a common truth: courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to begin anyway.
