Inside Episode 9 with Sister Mary Scullion
For the ninth episode of Withology, Brian is joined by activist, president, director and co-founder of Project HOME, Sister Mary Scullion. Project HOME is a non-profit organization that provides housing, opportunities for employment, medical care and education for unsheltered individuals in Philadelphia. Project HOME’s dedication to ending the cycle of homelessness and poverty – co-founded by Sister Mary – has led her to be named one of the “World’s Most Influential People in 2009” by Time Magazine.
As the daughter of Irish immigrants in northeast Philadelphia, Sister Mary grew accustomed to lending her home to those in need. Sister Mary later established herself in service work as an advocate for unsheltered and mentally ill persons through the founding of the first Outreach Coordination Center in America in 1988. One year later, Sister Mary teamed up with Joan Dawson McConnon to create Project HOME, the now nationally recognized organization.
Not sure what “Withology” means? That’s because we made it up.
Extraordinary things happen through collaboration, influence and inspiration. No successful person has ever achieved their goals on their own. Host Brian Tierney sits down with the nation’s most successful business and industry leaders to discuss their personal journeys and unpack the stories and people who helped them get to where they are today.
Withology will explore the philosophy that Brian’s parents instilled in him at a young age: anything is possible with hard work and great people.
