In this episode, I explore the compelling origin stories of individuals whose lives were shaped by unexpected beginnings and powerful transformations. From humble roots at the Boys & Girls Club to the early startup days of companies like Apple, and even the spark of inspiration that led journalist Wade Roush down his path—all of these stories highlight resilience, growth, and the discovery of identity. These are the defining moments that shaped who they are today.
In the prologue, I reflect on the origins of the Boys & Girls Club and how it has evolved over time to support youth across the country. I also trace the humble beginnings of Apple, offering a glimpse into how innovation often starts small. Finally, I share how podcaster and journalist Wade Roush found his passion for storytelling, inspired by the legendary Carl Sagan.
In Act One, I sit down with Sarah Gettler, CEO of the Santa Fe Boys & Girls Club, to discuss her perspective on anti-bullying and how the organization supports young people facing those challenges. I also speak with Alicia Gettler, a team member at the Santa Fe Teen Center, who shares her deeply personal experience with bullying and how it shaped her outlook on life.
In Act Two, I connect with Amanda Webber, an architect whose journey to her profession is as inspiring as the spaces she helps create. We talk about the pivotal moments that led her to architecture and how her path unfolded through perseverance and passion.
Finally, I close the episode by sharing a bit of my own journey—where I am now, what I’ve learned through these conversations, and the vision I have for my future.
