The Why Not Today? Podcast - Season 3 - Episode 42, Thomas Sweitzer, A PLACE TO BE

In this episode, we welcome Thomas Sweitzer, Co-founder of A PLACE TO BE. We discuss Tom's courage journey surrounding music—from walking into a church as a young child in his pajamas to starting a nonprofit. This journey led him to a career as a music therapist. Tom defines courage as vulnerability and reaching deep inside yourself where loneliness lives. He also shares that he thinks courage is making a difference in the lives of others.

We talk about the nonprofit that Tom co-founded, A PLACE TO BE, which is a nationally recognized, award-winning therapeutic arts organization creating community, belonging, and hope through music therapy, performance, and the expressive arts. Tom lives by the motto, "When you find your place in this world, help others find theirs." He encourages us to go inside ourselves to find our childhood dreams, giving ourselves the space and time to think and feel. Tom's journey is such an inspiration and full of love.

The “Why Not Today?” Podcast, hosted by Leslie Kane, showcases individuals who have boldly asked themselves, “Why not today?” and have taken courageous actions. In a heartfelt tribute to her father, Patrick Kane. This podcast serves as a beacon of encouragement, reminding us all that sometimes the most transformative moments begin with a simple question: Why not today?
