Episode 98: Caroline’s Cause
Episode 98
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026

Nonprofit founders are some of the most inspiring entrepreneurs on the planet. They see a problem and create a solution. Today's guest, Drew Long is no exception. Her first entrepreneurial journey was to create a shopping cart for her disabled daughter, Caroline. Drew is an Alabama mom with a big heart, a thick skin, and the kind of determination that changes systems. After solving that problem for millions of families she went on to solve another. Drew founded Caroline’s Cause, a scholarship nonprofit created for the typical siblings of children with special needs. In the middle of caregiving, life, and all the messy real-world logistics, Drew looked at those overlooked siblings and said, “We see you.” That simple sentence becomes a force in this incredible conversation.
