Join us as we welcome the extraordinary Mike Lollo, a former
NYPD detective whose journey led him to become a passionate
advocate for kidney donation. Mike’s life took an inspiring turn in
2018 when he donated his kidney to a stranger. He shares his
remarkable story with us, reflecting on how chance encounters
with people like Ned Brooks shaped his mission to transform lives
through the power of living donation. This episode highlights
Mike’s dedication and the profound impact his advocacy has had
on individuals like Tommy Alexander and Mark Weiner.

We also explore Mike’s career transition from the beat of New
York City streets to the intricate logistics of organ transport. His
role as chief strategy officer at the National Kidney Registry and
his current position with Mobile Network 24 underscore his
commitment to the safe and efficient transport of organs. Mike
provides an insider’s perspective on the complex layers of
planning and coordination required to ensure successful
transplants, especially when time is of the essence. His insights
shed light on the critical importance of reliable transport systems
in saving lives.

Transplant!” Mike was formerly co-host of the podcast “One is
