The Shrimp Story with Dr. Maxie Gluckman
Tuesday, 23 June, 2026
In this episode of The Good For Others Show, John Valencia sits down with Dr. Maxie Gluckman, Executive Director of Friends of Fundesur, to talk about what happens when community-driven leadership, private-sector partnership, and global impact come together.Maxie shares the story behind the shrimp pin she always wears — and how shrimp exports from Honduras became the unexpected foundation for funding education, healthcare, environmental work, and livelihoods in rural communities. From mobile dental care with “Dr. Candy,” to life-saving access to dengue testing and medication, to a $21 million shipment of donated medicine making its way to Honduras, this conversation is full of powerful reminders that impact can start in surprising places.Together, John and Maxie explore what it means to listen deeply, act with intention, and support the leaders closest to the work. This episode is about more than shrimp. It’s about connection, dignity, health, education, and the small moments that can change the trajectory of a child’s life.Learn more about Friends of Fundesur at friendsoffundesur.org.Learn more about Good For Others Foundation at goodforothers.org.The Good For Others Show is where bold ideas turn into real impact.
