Mar 27, 2024
Evan Hoffman
In a truly eye-opening 200th episode of HVAC Revealed, we sat down with Amanda Triolo from CxC and Nathan Mandsager from Child Voice to discuss the profound impact of mission work and the integration of trades into the tapestry of global healing and community engagement.
Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:
Global Perspective in Local Business: Engaging in mission work isn't just about what's accomplished overseas – it’s about the perspective it brings home, too. This conversation highlighted how tradecraft could be harnessed to effect real change locally and globally, bringing new depth to professions we may take for granted.
Community & Vision: Our guests discussed the urgent need for companies to be mission-driven, emphasizing that corporate responsibility extends far beyond income statements. Grasshopper’s enthusiasm for supporting vocational tracks through Child Voice demonstrates the potential for trades to contribute to societal healing.
Shared Human Experience: Nathan's storytelling, including the powerful narrative of Kasimi, a young refugee, not only illuminates the realities of those in conflict zones but also poignantly reminds us of our capacity for empathy and support. His experiences delivering aid underpin the importance of personal connections and recognizing our shared humanity.
Take a moment to consider how you might integrate global awareness and mission-driven purpose into your professional endeavors. And if you're looking to be part of the solution, remember that you can support Child Voice's efforts through various forms of engagement and contributions.

Welcome to HVAC Success Secrets Revealed, a show where we interview industry leaders and disruptors, revealing the success secrets to create and unleash the ultimate HVAC business. Now your hosts Thaddeus and evan.
Evan Hoffman:
Hey, welcome back to another HVAC Success Secrets Revealed with Thaddeus and Evan. Although I'm without Thaddeus right now, having a blast here at True Grit in Memphis, Tennessee. I'm excited to be I am very blessed to be with Nathan Mandsager with Child Voice and excited to hear all about that and Amanda Triolo, who brought him here and introduced him to this circle of course, Amanda is with CXC, which is super exciting and launched yesterday.
Amanda Triolo:
Yesterday. You can sign up live right now.
Evan Hoffman:
Right now. Go do it. We had her on the show back in September in Austin where we actually talked all about it and how cool it is. We ran on yesterday and talked about it again. So definitely go check that out and then of course she's with Grasshopper Heating and Cooling up in New York and crushing it. Her team there,
Amanda Triolo:
my peeps
Evan Hoffman:
brought some of your top sales people out again. My favorite things at any of the events that you show up to with the team that you bring and the energy that they bring with it, especially when you hit the stage, they are the loudest people in the audience.
Nathan Mandsager:
Have you been to one of her Tuesday mornings yet?
Evan Hoffman:
I have not.
Nathan Mandsager:
Oh man.
Evan Hoffman:
I have not had the pleasure.
Amanda Triolo:
Yeah. Tuesdays with Grasshopper.
Nathan Mandsager:
That's pretty epic.
Amanda Triolo:
I'm pretty sure they were throwing Slim Jims at the one Nathan came to.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yes, they were.
Amanda Triolo:
Things get wild.
Nathan Mandsager:
The big Slim Jims. Knock someone out if they're not careful.
Evan Hoffman:
We did coordinate an attack while Amanda was on the show in her office.
Nathan Mandsager:
Okay.
Evan Hoffman:
Yeah, we have Dylan and Kara, I believe, actually orchestrated everything, but they went and attacked her and shot her with their bullets while she was in the middle of the podcast.
Amanda Triolo:
I was mortified because I thought all these people were just like having fun and didn't realize I was on a podcast until I found out it was all staged and planned.
Nathan Mandsager:
That's nice.
Amanda Triolo:
And I really got ambushed. I was like sheltering in place.
Nathan Mandsager:
All right.
Amanda Triolo:
That was probably the most epic podcast yet.
Evan Hoffman:
Yeah. It was a covert attack. It was great.
Nathan Mandsager:
Cool.
Evan Hoffman:
Awesome. Child Voice. What is it? So that everyone can understand aspect of it and then what you're doing here at the event.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah. Child Voice. We've been around for 18 years now, and our mission is to restore the voices of Children silenced by war. There's millions of kids today that are impacted by war and conflict happening where we're at right now and in parts of Africa, but obviously is as we can all see on the news all over the world and our goal is to work with kids that have been impacted, whether it's young kids all the way through young adolescence we do focus a lot on young girls because they are the most vulnerable in these kinds of situations and so helping them with all of the trauma related stuff they may have been through, but also giving them the skills and the tools that they need to be successful long term in their own villages, in their own communities, so that the goal is that they not only change their lives, but change the future generations that come behind them too.
Evan Hoffman:
Amanda, how did you stumble across it?
Amanda Triolo:
I've known Nathan for a long time since early middle school days, actually and Nathan stepped into the CEO role within the last year.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah, almost a year ago now,
Amanda Triolo:
almost a year ago now and Nathan has always had a heart for, this is, this exact organization is who Nathan is. And so I was very excited when I found out that he was stepping into that. But most importantly, we got to connect about a month ago and he, he told me where child voice was at the moment and when he was talking, it was just like light bulbs are going off on understanding that child voice is really, Empowering trades and teaching those vocational tracks in Africa and what that looks like and it's wait a minute like I'm in the trades in the United States and the trades in the United States and the trades in Africa they may look a little bit different but there's no reason why the United States and all of us together as a community can't rally and work together and connect and support and be partners in this and so I think that Child Voice is and it's infancy stage on what it's going to do with the trades right now and I know that this is the first introduction to the trades, but I'm committed to pioneering this on the trades front with the community in the United States and Nathan is he's got an awesome rockstar team and there's how many of your team is in Africa right now?
Nathan Mandsager:
We have, we just have about six of us. 7 of us here in the U. S and then we have 65 staff in Uganda and then another 25 or so in Nigeria right now and they're all nationals. That's one of our foundational goals is that, we can help get things started. But at the end of the day, it's the people that live there that they're going to make the biggest impact. A lot of our staff has graduates of our programs that have now come on over the years and then, our country director in Uganda. He's been with us since day one back in 2006. And he lost his dad during conflict as well. So, I'm middle aged white guy here in the U. S. So my goal is to connect the right people in the right resources to, to allow them to do the work of bringing hope and healing to kids impacted by war.
Evan Hoffman:
Unbelievable shitty situation that the kids are in. They can't control it, they didn't decide to be there and it's creating opportunities that's going to impact their lives. Ever moving forward. Absolutely. I don't think we're in that, where we have something that's outside of ourselves. That we can contribute, we can give back to that contribution is a main driver for really high achievers. Because at the end of the day, there's only so much money that can really drive you before it loses all impact. So having something that's bigger than yourself, having something that you can really give back to is incredibly important and something that I've noticed is not as prevalent in a lot of open service businesses. They don't have that go to charity that they have in their office that they continually give back to. Why do you think that is? Why do you think that's just not something that's been a focus and been talked about enough?
Amanda Triolo:
I've
Evan Hoffman:
been giving
Amanda Triolo:
that a lot of thought, actually, since talking to Nathan and, at Grasshopper, we support local organizations and, of course, we want to partner with our communities. But for some people, I think that their companies really are lacking purpose, or they're lacking being a mission driven organization and with Child Voice, it's very that you're making a global impact and even with your team, I'm excited to talk about this at Tuesdays with Grasshopper because if my team can understand like, Hey, what we do here in the United States and the program that we've created that brings you on and trains you in a career in the trades is exactly what they're doing in Africa, except the restoring children and restoring children. Right. And If they understand that their company is making that global impact, that's a totally different game changer to where they'll become inspired and empowered to want to tell other people and even just in talking here in the last few days, some ideas came up actually on adding a line item to, dollar for every service that we do, and then having a lead behind for our customers and then being able to draw that parallel to, Hey, We're in the trades we're a home service company that's servicing you, but there's also an organization that's making a global impact. The exact thing that we do here, but relevant to Africa and the situations that they're in Africa and we're supporting those children and helping to provide purpose and helping to give them a different life and create life change and, for an organization like us we create opportunities that change lives. That's the first part of our mission statement that is our commitment and so life change can come in many different shapes, forms, sizes, ways, and it looks different to everybody. So this is something that we're really excited about and more people in the trades that we can inform about this. I mean, our community, we see the trades community rally together time after time and if we can continue letting the community know what Child Voice is and what they do, I have long term I'm a visionary, so I like to think long term, and it's imagine if we could create some sort of infrastructure, or platform in which, where United States Trades is supporting Child Voice and the trades that they're doing there, and it's a, what, bar soap making, agriculture, electrical, solar?
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah, we're working on solar.
Amanda Triolo:
Working on solar now.
Nathan Mandsager:
Bar soap making. Did I say that? Yeah, you did.
Amanda Triolo:
Hairdressing, bakery tailoring. Those are the vocational tracks in the trades right now that Child Voice is equipping and training them in their programs and so imagine if we can support that even on an HVAC level, right? And helping to bring HVAC there and us being able to support them. Maybe some people can come to the United States for a career path. Maybe some people in the United States can go there and train and teach that. It's I told Seth and Craig yesterday, I said, look, I'm speaking it into existence now, because if you don't speak it, then you know, right? I said, so I'm speaking into existence that the three of us will be in Africa sometime over the next five years.
Nathan Mandsager:
Love it.
Amanda Triolo:
And I'm committed to that.
Nathan Mandsager:
Love it.
Amanda Triolo:
I don't know if you know this or not, but I went to school for Human Services and Chemical Dependency Counseling. I actually wanted to work in the foster care system for my life. That's what I wanted to do and life obviously had other plans, and here we are. But, the fact that I'm able to now find purpose and be able to fill those the heart and the passion that I have in me in these kind of ways, it's it's amazing. It's a full circle humbling place to be right now. So I am like fire up.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah. And I will say too it was just six weeks ago. We had coffee in your office and you've been to our office, right? And,
Amanda Triolo:
Not yet. He'll be there.
Nathan Mandsager:
Okay. So anyway, so we were sitting there and she knew about Child Voice and she knew me obviously for years, but within a half hour she's on the whiteboard and she's got vision and she, and here we are, like, we would have never had this audience and future opportunities to present who Child Voice is and what we do and connect it with businesses here in the US and credit to Amanda, she's got vision, as we all know, but she's also got the passion and I think the, the perspective to know where the opportunities are, the connections, the gaps that maybe we can come in and fill and I think too, we never want companies or individuals to say I'm already giving to some local organization or we're doing some initiative locally. So I'll have to give that up to come and help you. No, we want you to do both, right? And we want you to, and that allows you to have a much bigger global perspective on things and then at the end of the day, it helps your employees to really grab hold of something that adds purpose and as we know, that's a differentiator when it comes to finding good talent, retaining good talent, and I think, we're one of other organizations that I'm sure, these businesses are going to partner with, but I think we can offer something, as Amanda said, really unique and cool,
Amanda Triolo:
and is it's 10 for a month?
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah, is that what it was? Yeah, I know 10 dollars is the starting point that
Amanda Triolo:
But as he pulls up those statistics, it's ten dollars for a day okay, so ten dollars to train one adolescent or one child in Africa that is teaching them those vocational tracks and trades and it's like for ten dollars a day even if you just give ten dollars a month and you set up your one time occurrence like that is changing lives.
Nathan Mandsager:
And remember to like your company the company some of the cool stuff that you're beginning to offer to your employees. It's not just the training in bar soap making, right? It's all of the trauma counseling. It's the life skills training. It's providing food for the kids, their children that are there sitting on the floor as they're going through their training. So it's all of that. Like you're providing counseling opportunities for your staff. That 10 dollars is not just. It's not just learning how to put the bar soap through the cutter, it's also all of the other stuff that comes with it.
Evan Hoffman:
That makes sense. It's funny that you mentioned even adding on to every single service call. So something that we had, when I sold Cutco knives, was a round up campaign. So every single order that we did, you could round up to the nearest dollar and of course, some people did five dollars, some did ten, some did a few hundred, some did a thousand. But it was all the way back to Children's Wish. Or Front Row Foundation was another one that we did. But at the end of the year, it's that accumulation that adds up, and then you can write the check for the tens of thousands of dollars that we were able to give away to charity at the end of the year as an organization as a whole. And the other part of those, we would have contests, and the people who did raise the most ended up either being able to go on the experience or share what the experience was with the family that they were getting it, right? So having. You could tie in so many different things.
Nathan Mandsager:
That's what we were talking about, right? Creating some kind of mechanism where her staff, like you just described, to get to her. A handful of your team over there to spend a few days.
Amanda Triolo:
Can you imagine? I've been to Honduras and Bulgaria, but I've never been to Africa. I've always wanted to go to Africa and it always scared the crap out of me.
Nathan Mandsager:
Now it will happen. I know,
Amanda Triolo:
I've known him since he was my youth pastor, actually growing up, but it would always scare the crap out of me when he's like spending all his time in Africa. He's like taking malaria pills. I think I'm like sleeping with a net around him, if I recall and it's now I'm excited. You, your life changes when you go on a missions trip, and this brings missions to the trades on a totally different level and I know Jason's over there, and I know he's got a heart for foster care, and I know he's got a heart for children the same way of what we're talking about here and just imagine the people that we could rally to really change lives and be part of something much greater than themselves. Something that I think resonates with a lot of people is what we're talking about, right? Empower a trade, transform a life. It's really that simple.
Evan Hoffman:
No, 100%. I love that. Yeah, I think J Dub's gonna start adding in roundups for every sale he makes. There you go. Alright. We got a commitment.
Nathan Mandsager:
There we go. That's what I saw.
Evan Hoffman:
Let's put it on camera.
Amanda Triolo:
I know, out of anybody, I know he's got the heart for this. Oh absolutely. This is Jason through to, even to his family, right through to his family.
Evan Hoffman:
The ability to make an impact is so huge and again, to come back to living outside of yourself and having that higher Y, that bigger contribution. There's a science to achievement. It's laid out to be a successful technician, to earn a hundred grand, 200 grand, 500 grand. The formula is there, follow it, go hit it. The fulfillment piece is an art form. Because what it means to you could be different for you, could be different for me, could be different for Jason. Yeah. So being able to work and massage and uncover what that could be for your team is so important.
Nathan Mandsager:
And that's why it's so important. It's it has to be more than just a transaction, right? Our goal always, whether it's, connecting with people here in the U. S. or in Europe or whatever, is I want them to build a relationship with our organization and then into the relationships with the kids we get to support. So you know, I think that's where the ideas we've talked about and new ideas that are about now is how those, Your staff, I'll use your employees as an example and if me and our country director, Richard, for instance, were able to do some kind of short training on resiliency, and what that has looked like in Uganda with kids that have been, ravaged by war and all that kind of stuff, it does something in, us, right? And makes us more resilient when We can face things in a different way because we can see it in practice and in other places around the world and vice versa. I don't think, yeah, there's a lot of differences between what the kids that we work with in the field in Nigeria and Uganda are facing today. But they're still human beings, just like your staff that are going through crap too, right? And how can they learn from each other in a way that can build that relationship, right? And I think for us however, we can get to more and more companies in the trades or the clients on the receiving end. At the end of the day, it's about building the relationships. Yeah, we need funding, right? We're a private nonprofit and that's what we depend on. But at the end of the day, that's a starting point. The real goal is to build those kinds of relationships where, you know, whether it's someone that you've served in a home and done great work for, and they jump on board with us. That's the starting point to our relationship.
Amanda Triolo:
And that's the goal We're in the next month or so here and I talked about going into the local trade schools near us as well and, they've got booths and they've got career fairs and that type of thing and those cards that were left behind on the tables. I don't know if you had the opportunity to see them or not, but those leave behinds in the home every single time, even if, one of our values at grasshopper is we believe in the power of strong partnerships and that also comes down to who we choose to partner with and why, and does that tie back to our mission statement and so being able to show and bring more awareness to our local community outside of just my team is awesome and, Even we heard Helmy say this morning, how much this organization just learning about it from a card this morning has already changed his life and how excited he is to partner with it. That is what I'm sure Nathan's team is looking for, and just to be transparent, I am not a part of child boys. I just believe heavily in what they're doing in their mission and I'm committed to supporting that any way that I can with our local community.
Evan Hoffman:
Massive advocate.
Amanda Triolo:
Raving fan
Evan Hoffman:
One of the things that you mentioned, Nathan, is that perspective shift and yes what these kids have gone through is incredibly unfair.
Nathan Mandsager:
It's hard to put words around it sometimes.
Evan Hoffman:
Absolutely. I wanna make sure that we also recognize that the shift that we go through here, yes. It puts it in perspective that, fuck that, that customer that didn't buy, the customer, that didn't call me back the sales slump that I've gone through difficulties at home, whatever it is, it really gets put into perspective in terms of that. Now it doesn't diminish the fact that
Nathan Mandsager:
doesn't take it away. Still real.
Evan Hoffman:
But I think that shift that can happen from that is appreciation for what you have versus an expectation of what it should be and allowing yourself to just live in gratitude. I know for me, anytime that we've been around it, it's been very humbling and we went with them in a mannequin for two months, just in a house that was in the community and our next door neighbors were in a hut. Being able to just, I would just drop off food at their house, just a bank of groceries and I went to the grocery store, didn't say hi, I didn't do anything. Didn't talk to them. I just dropped it off. Not for any reason other than to just give. Yeah. I don't know if they threw it out or if they ate it or if they made any use of it. But that wasn't the point, we're incredibly blessed to be where we're at and to have something that we can give back to you.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah. That perspective thing. I'm not, I'm in it every day. So sometimes now I can miss it, I was over in Uganda, we were in a refugee camp that we are. team works in back in October and, in my position, I'm hyper focused on our staff and our program structure and that kind of thing. But, we had gone to one of our youth empowerment centers to see the programming and the vocational training that was happening and things like that and our program manager said he wanted to show me, he wanted to introduce me to somebody and so we walked about 100, 200 feet. 200 yards down the path and this little one room hut was there. The roof's caving in, there's no door on it at all and he introduced me to Kasimi, who's a 16 year old girl. She has two small children under the age of two. She's originally from Congo and I got to hear her story. Her husband had been killed by rebels and she had been, she had escaped to this refugee settlement and I needed that moment and we're working with this girl with her children to get her to the, to a safe place where she can now start to really go through the healing process and our goal in the next few years is we're going to have great success stories about her starting her own business and that kind of thing. I needed to be brought back to this is why we exist. Because as a organizational leader, you can get the big vision and all that kind of stuff and get pulled away from. I needed to stand and literally sit on the side of her hot weather and kind of connect with her and her kids. Language barrier, culture barriers, different color skin, all of that. But at the end of the day, I needed to, feel the pain that she was going through. Because that fuels me to come back and have great conversations with Amanda, and then she catches fire, and then, and it goes from there. It gives you perspective and I will say, it can be difficult at times and one of the scariest things about traveling to Africa, Is it's hard to come back because, we're sitting in nice leather chairs and, Memphis and at Graceland and all that feels good right now, but it's also it can be, I don't know. Disheartening or it can be a challenge and a struggle to bring together that world that interaction with Kisimi and her children to all right now I'm back and you know we're eating pizza tonight kind of thing but it's a balance and I'm learning and but I can't forget that because other people need to get connected to what her story and her journey will be moving forward.
Evan Hoffman:
Well That's interesting too there's a whole nother conversation around the disconnect that exists in society. Whether it's between us and our food, there's a massive disconnect there. Barely anyone knows that chocolate comes from fruit, like just how our food comes to be. That's the whole conversation. The disconnect between poverty and what that really looks like and the fact that even people who are homeless in North America are still in the top 1 percent of the world in a lot of cases when it comes to income, which is yeah, to think that's even possible. Yeah. But when two thirds of the world lives on less than 5 dollars a day. It's incredible to think about and to think about how many kids could have been fed at the cost of his chair.
Nathan Mandsager:
And we can't live in guilt from that. But it, we need to be aware so we can make changes or start things that need to be started so we can have an impact. Because we do, as human beings, we I am a full believer in we've gotta be engaged in our community where we live. But at the same time, we do have to have a bigger vision than that too, because we are global humans. We're not just in our own neighborhood. Yeah. So Not anymore. Yeah. Especially now. Yeah.
Evan Hoffman:
So in terms of action steps what can people do to get involved and then what are some very specific things that you're thinking or doing in grasshopper that someone else could implement, whether it is with job voice or whether it is with another organization, something that to give their people more purpose.
Amanda Triolo:
Yeah, I think of course, leading from the front is important. Being a mission driven organization is really important because it helps bring that purpose and passion back to who you are and why you do what you do. So I'm excited to challenge my team with some of this when I get back for sure. Adding that line item to the service site and invoices to just bring that awareness piece to the community and leave behind and give them the opportunity to match our donation. That is something we're really excited about, and I challenge many of the home service contractors in our industry to, to think about that and connect with Nathan childvoice.org is the website where you can find that, and you can learn about what they're doing and why they do what they do and who they're supporting, and really there's stories that you can follow on there as well, of some of the children and the programs that they do, and It's incredible. So I think that the opportunities are uncapped and as Nathan said, it's not about the investment so much as it is really forming those partnerships and starting the conversations and the trades in the United States and how we can work together and partner with this.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah. And I would, I would say to work. We're not a huge organization. We're working in two particular four different regions in two countries right now, serving five or six different people groups that are coming into those refugee settlements and that kind of thing. We are looking to get started in Ukraine this year, which we're excited about. Needless to say, when you think about kids affected by war, that number is 30 million minimum around the world, and the number of conflict areas, active conflict areas around the world is bigger than I think we even can understand, and starting in Africa it's everywhere and I think, to Amanda's point, what I love, because we're smaller, is we can be more creative. We're not a UN organization or World Vision or these big behemoth organizations that, it's like moving a, the Titanic in a creek. For us, we can be You know, I think more creative in ways to, not a lot of other organizations like us that do humanitarian work and global work that would be at a conference like this, but it was because we had a conversation, we have a relationship that we can say, all right, this could be something and let's go with it and to her credit and her team's credit, they put their money where their mouth is. We have a new booth. I got here. You, they made it happen because they see a vision beyond just it's nice to get a check, but at the same time, this is much more powerful, I think longterm because we can connect with so many different people. So to her credit and others like her to have that kind of vision is what we're about and we have the ability to slide into those relationships in a way that can be creative and unique compared to some of the more traditional models of especially in our world, the global humanitarian kind of just give money and hope it gets to where it needs to go.
Evan Hoffman:
I'm fascinated to think that for as little as 300 a month, you're able to sponsor a day's worth of education for a child. That's an impacted by this and when it comes to ground ups and things like that, it's really easy to match that and get that number.
Amanda Triolo:
And it makes people be proud to be part of your organization, right? That's a, that is a global impact that truly is changing lives. Yes, we partner with Boys and Girls Club and Girls, Inc and those things are incredible locally. But being able to tangibly see and partner with that life change is a whole different level so very excited about this.
Nathan Mandsager:
And we'll have to get some good video footage, or maybe you can join us when Amanda gets to travel to Africa with us.
Evan Hoffman:
I would love that.
Amanda Triolo:
I can't wait. It's been on my bucket list since. Since I met Nathan.
Nathan Mandsager:
There we go.
Amanda Triolo:
I've just been scared, but all right.
Nathan Mandsager:
Look what you do for a living. How can you be scared of that? Come on.
Evan Hoffman:
By the way, thank you so much for aging, Nathan. You said that he was your
Nathan Mandsager:
yeah appreciate that.
Amanda Triolo:
If it means anything, he looks the same as he did then.
Evan Hoffman:
Oh, there you go.
Nathan Mandsager:
A little more gray. A little more gray. Yeah.
Amanda Triolo:
You haven't aged a day.
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah. I'll tell my wife that. Once again, the website childvoice.org.
Evan Hoffman:
Great and what are the different types of donations that you can make? Is there like a reoccurring thing?
Nathan Mandsager:
Yeah, so we certainly can do a monthly recurring donation at any level and we have, I think it's 10, 50, 100, all the way up. But you can choose your, whatever's most comfortable for you as well. Our goal is not as much the amount obviously, it'd be nice if someone just writes us a million dollar check tomorrow, but at the end of the day, that's just one person giving, rather than an army of 200 that are giving equal to that. That's a better option for us, yeah, you can log on, sign up, and then you'll get communications from us and hear regular stories about where those investments are changing lives.
