I recently had the opportunity to join Tim Fergestad on the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast to talk about something I’m deeply passionate about: the power of Scouting to build stronger youth, stronger communities, and a stronger future.

In our conversation, we covered a lot of ground:
✔️ How Scouting shapes leadership, character, and resilience in young people
✔️ Why community-based programs matter more than ever in today’s world
✔️ How Grand Canyon Council is expanding access and reaching more families across Arizona
✔️ The research-backed benefits of youth involvement in Scouting and service organizations

Tim and I also discussed how personal connections, mentorship, and real-world experiences are essential to preparing young people for success—not just in school or work, but in life.

I’m proud to be part of a movement that strengthens the fabric of our communities while helping young people grow into capable, compassionate leaders.
