Jodi Hope Grinwald has announced the upcoming release of a new book titled "Today is the Day: Live It! – Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact." The book features stories from 30 leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and innovators from locations ranging from California to Uganda. Each contributor shares experiences of overcoming fear and uncertainty in order to make a difference.
Grinwald began her journey during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 by starting the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. According to Grinwald, she did not know who would participate or how it would work but decided to move forward regardless. The podcast has since been heard in 131 countries and led to connections with people making an impact around the world.
The new book brings together these voices, highlighting their turning points and transformative ideas. Contributors describe moments when they pushed past discomfort for broader impact and worked to open doors for others.
“This book is about people who know that when your why is greater than your how, anything is possible,” says Grinwald. “Every one of these changemakers had to stand at the edge of comfort to create an impact they couldn’t yet see. And now we are all doing that together - living it every single day. For readers who are dreaming right now, wondering if they can really do the thing that scares them, I want them to know: I was once in that exact same place. So were many in this book. It’s real, it’s human, and it’s transformative.”
"Today is the Day: Live It! – Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact" will be available in hardcover, softcover, and eBook formats beginning late January 2026.
