  • Summary

  • From a small group of individuals looking to live a more simple off-the-grid life to a full-fledged movement of minimalism mixed with unique design, tiny houses have ingrained themselves into our society.

    But that’s not the story.

    The story is the big impact these innovative housing solutions have had on the individuals who build them for themselves, build them for others, and who create entire communities to serve those in need. Join our hosts Zack Giffin and John Weisbarth as we meet the innovators, the policy changes and the visionaries who are solving problems and serving others through the simple but sometimes misunderstood, tiny house. These are the stories of hope, innovation and impact, a podcast from Operation Tiny Home.

    Be a Tiny House Doer with Alexis and Christian of Tiny House Expedition
    Nov 23 2021
    Alexis Stephens and Christian Parsons started their "Journey with a Purpose" after building their own tiny home in 2015, after a year of dating. The 130 square-foot home is the most traveled
    tiny house in the world, having been to 37 states, 16 national parks, and 30 Tiny Home Communities along the way. Together, Alexis and Christian both serve on the Board of Advisors for the American Tiny House Association and the Board of Directors for the Tiny
    Home Industry Association.

    The Co-Founders of Tiny House Expedition are looking to impact the tiny home world by informing and inspiring others who are on a "tiny" journey themselves. The couple shares many great tips and ideas on
    their youtube channel, blog, website, and social media platforms. They offer two E-Courses for people to use as a resource; one is Tiny House, Rich Lifestyle: A Life Planning Workshop and the other is How-To Travel with a Tiny House on Wheels. You can also
    watch their docuseries, Living Tiny Legally, which highlights the benefits that may come with tiny living as well as the legal obstacles.

    Not only is Alexis and Christian Co-Founders, but they are also now Co-Authors. Their book, "The Beginner's Guide to Tiny Houses: What You Need to Know About 400-Square-Foot Living," was released in 2021
    to help people learn about all things tiny.

  • Veterans Community Project Uses Tiny Homes as a Platform to Serve Veterans In Need

    Veterans Community Project Uses Tiny Homes as a Platform to Serve Veterans In Need
    Nov 4 2021
    John and Zack speak with Bryan Meyer, the CEO and Co-Founder of Veteran Community
    Project (VCP). This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in Kansas City, Missouri, is dedicated to supporting every man and woman who took the oath for our country and not letting any veteran fall through the cracks. Bryan,
    along with a few other combat veterans, created this organization back in 2016 as a way to stand in the gaps of a broken system that left too many of their brothers and sisters behind.

    Bryan is a former U.S. Marine corporal who deployed twice to Iraq. Following
    the Marine Corps, Bryan returned home to Kansas City, attended the University of Missouri Kansas City, earning a Master's in Public Administration and a Law Degree.

    The villages built by VCP utilize tiny homes to provide veterans
    with privacy, a sense of security, and the ability to reintegrate at a comfortable pace. VCP has Veteran services facilitated through an on-site community center that provides the Veterans with mentoring, case management, counseling, and linkage to other programs
    and services. There is also a Veteran Outreach Center on-site, where walk-ins are welcome and all services are free.
