About the Show:

"Our mission is to love Jesus and bring a community together. At the heart of everything we do is relationships—relationships that connect and strengthen our community across socioeconomic and cultural lines."

  • Shawn Schwartzman

About the Guest:

In this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas, host Randy Wilburn sits down with Shawn Schwartzman, the President and Founder of Potter’s House. Located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Potter’s House is much more than a thrift store; it’s a beacon of hope and connection, fostering relationships across diverse socioeconomic and cultural groups. This inspiring conversation highlights the importance of proximity and community engagement in addressing poverty, inequality, and social disconnection.

Episode Summary:

This engaging episode explores the journey of Potter’s House, a nonprofit organization combining community programs and thrift stores to fund initiatives that strengthen Northwest Arkansas. Shawn shares the challenges and triumphs of creating spaces where people from different backgrounds can connect meaningfully.

The conversation also delves into Potter’s House’s recent acquisition of the historic Jefferson Elementary School, which will be transformed into a vibrant community hub. From its preschool program preparing children for kindergarten to leadership programs for teens and adult groups, Potter’s House focuses on building relationships and fostering upward mobility.

Shawn and Randy discuss the importance of proximity to those in need and the unique ability of Northwest Arkansas to foster a sense of belonging. This episode offers a powerful look at how one organization transforms lives through community-driven innovation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Transformative Relationships: Potter’s House bridges gaps across socioeconomic and cultural lines, fostering deep and impactful relationships.
  • Dual Purpose Model: Thrift store operations not only provide affordable goods but also fund 75% of the organization’s programs, creating a sustainable impact.
  • Community Programs: From preschool to leadership and adult groups, Potter’s House offers dynamic programs tailored to meet diverse needs in the community.
  • Jefferson Renewal: The Jefferson Elementary School project will serve as a hub for community engagement, offering spaces for education, collaboration, and growth.
  • Be Your Brother’s Keeper: Shawn emphasizes the importance of stepping out of comfort zones to connect with and support neighbors in need.
