What Hope Looks Like: Use Your Pain to Fuel Your Purpose
Pain and passion—they reside within all of us. But if you’ve endured a life-changing experience, you know that residual pain can make it hard to heal old wounds.
What if you could give your pain a purpose? What if you could turn it into passion?
For pediatric cancer survivor Eric Newman, a voice inside told him to dig deeper, unearth his rooted pain, and plant something beautiful. And so he did. He founded Roc Solid, a nonprofit that builds playsets for children bravely fighting the same disease—and the same pain—that he once did.
In What Hope Looks Like, Eric helps you transform your experience into hope for those just starting down the difficult path he has already navigated. No matter the type of hardships you’ve faced, you’ll learn, step by step, how to create a nonprofit that is not only successful but significant. From confronting your fears and putting ideas on paper to creating a budget and strategizing for the future, Eric provides you with the toolkit you need to tackle any obstacle and turn your ideas into solutions that will change someone’s life.

After meeting Eric, and getting the chance to read this book - I knew he was onto something. Not only is he an amazing human being, he truly cares about his mission and the people on his team that work to make their mission thrive. Roc Solid Foundation at its core, is Eric's dream. His hope was that he would find a purpose for his life, Roc Solid was born... and now tons of children fighting pediatric cancer have had their lives changed with playsets, ready bags, and love from Roc Solid.
He has already changed the game in the pediatric cancer world. But this book in the hands of the right person - will change the world further. This book is a step by step, play book of how to creating a nonprofit. Step, by step, by step. There are failures in this book that are explained so you won't have to go through that same misstep. If you're even thinking about starting a nonprofit, you need this book. Amazing.

Leadership matters.
This is a quick read, mainly targeting those hoping to launch a non-profit, but the lessons apply to leaders of all organizations. The author walks the reader through hard lessons learned, the importance of the business side of a non-profit, and of course, how to keep your mission & values at the forefront. I know Eric personally and am happy he finally laid out for all to read the nuggets of wisdom normally dispensed in his classes.
