WELCOME TO
A live stream television program that champions good people doing good
WHO we are
THE ADVOCATES are Lisa Manyoky, Mark Iorio and Al Cini—three highly motivated, bighearted, entrepreneurial movers-and-shakers who champion good people doing good to improve the lives of others.
WHAT we do
THE ADVOCATES bring visibility to coaches, advisors, innovators and visionaries whose ideas and services are advancing goodness across the globe, and they open the doors of connection to the people who need them.
HOW it began
Three progressive business professionals convened over lunch at Rats on the Grounds for Sculpture, and they recognized a smart, powerful, mountain-moving blend of personality, smarts and expertise. So they pooled their resources to bring you THE ADVOCATES.
