**Greg Jackson**, founder of [**Heal Charlotte**](https://www.healcharlotte.org/) and recipient of November’s Bolt of Inspiration, presented by **The Savage Way** and **OrthoCarolina**, is working to provide affordable housing for families of need in Charlotte.

In the course of his work, he’s found a powerful and surprising friend — a man named **Otis Crowder** of Crowder Construction. Judged solely on Otis’ appearance, Greg admits he almost overlooked him. And, that would have been a loss for both of them and for the Charlotte community.

In this quick Who Built Me? Micro-podcast and short video, Greg shares the story of meeting Otis at a Rotary meeting. Despite the differences in their backgrounds, Jackson and Crowder developed a deep mutual respect for one another, solidified in a shared vision of helping others.

Together, these unlikeliest of allies are changing lives.
