This week Rod and Steve tell the story of a gang of robbers who cast a long shadow over Ashe County, North Carolina in the unsettled years after the Civil War. One by one they fell, until only Linville Eller remained. He, too, met his fate in 1890 after a massive manhunt. This is the story of the Eller Gang, led by brothers Linville and Henry Eller, the North Carolina high country's most notorious 19th-century outlaws, another one of the Stories of Appalachia. Thanks for listening.

Bonita Norris became the youngest woman to reach both the summit of Mt Everest at just 22 and the North Pole at 23, and her story is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, she shares the journey that took her from school trips in North Wales to climbing some of the world's highest peaks, navigating extreme environments, and pushing the limits of what's possible. Bonita reflects on the early steps that built her career in mountaineering—starting with beginner climbing courses, funding her expeditions, and preparing for the Himalayan peaks. She opens up about the mental and physical challenges of summiting Everest, managing fear in remote and hostile environments, and how these experiences shaped her life and perspective. Now a mother of two, Bonita also discusses how she balances adventure with family life, inspiring her children to embrace courage and curiosity. From attempting K2 to climbing the Matterhorn after an eight-year hiatus, she emphasises the importance of showing up, trusting the process, and meeting opportunity with determination. Whether you're chasing literal mountains or metaphorical ones in your own life, Bonita's insights, lessons in bravery, and personal stories will motivate you to take the next bold step. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

There's a moment that happens in the Pacific Northwest. You step outside, take a breath, and you'll notice it. A mix of salt in the air and cool mountain freshness that feels grounding and familiar all at once. I was born and raised here, spent a decade away exploring the country and the world, and yet that feeling always pulled me back. Some places you visit. Others stay with you.This episode explores RVing in the Pacific Northwest through the seven things that make it so special. From weather that shapes the land instead of disrupting it, to seasons that reward patience and flexibility, the PNW teaches a different way to travel. Forests, rivers, and coastlines create a rhythm you learn to follow, not fight. Mountains reveal themselves on their own terms, long summer daylight stretches travel days, and quieter moments invite you to slow down and stay awhile.Along the way, we dig into the state parks, public lands, and waterways that make RV travel here so accessible and rewarding. This is a region where boondocking feels endless, campgrounds sit inside living landscapes, and outdoor recreation is always close by. If you've ever wondered why RVers fall hard for the Pacific Northwest, or why once you travel here it becomes the benchmark for everywhere else, this episode tells that story.Send us a textSign up for our Newsletter Please follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Send us a textThe obstacles in our path are impossible to overcome sometimes, yet Jesus does not call us to despair.  Instead He gives us an answer to our problems.  In this episode, the VC encourages us with the teachings of Jesus regarding the believers response to impossible problems. 

"If you want answers, they are out there. But the one thing that I have learned is who do you have a testimony in? If you have a testimony in the church, if you have a testimony in the missionaries, in anything other than Jesus, it's going to fail you and you're going to fall. But if you have a testimony in Jesus and you really do believe that this is His church, all of those things-they'll pale. And when it's time for you to find those answers, you will find those answers. God works that way, line upon line, precept upon precept."00:00 Introduction and Personal Beliefs01:42 Welcoming Chase to the Podcast11:29 Post-Mission Life and Rebellion14:27 Life in the Mountains and Personal Realizations22:17 The Miracle and Reconnecting with Faith25:26 The Experiment Begins34:06 Struggles and Realizations40:22 Understanding Celestial ThinkingMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

In Davos, President Trump declared victory in the escalating row over Greenland, announcing a framework deal he says delivers “everything we wanted, total security.” The White House hails it as classic Art of the Deal brinkmanship — critics warn it's come at the cost of the old world order, a charge echoed by Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin P. Zander. In this episode, I'm doing something a little different: I step into the guest seat for a conversation with one of my good friends, Andrew Bartlow, recorded for the People Leader Accelerator podcast alongside Jessica Yuen. We dive into storytelling, identity, and leadership — exploring how personal experiences shape professional influence. The conversation begins with a reflection on family and culture, from the Moroccan textiles behind me, made by my mother, to the influence of my father's environmental consulting work. These threads of personal history frame my lifelong fascination with storytelling, persuasion, and coalition-building. Andrew and Jessica guide the discussion through how storytelling intersects with professional growth. We cover how early experiences — like watching Lawrence of Arabia at a birthday sleepover — sparked curiosity about adventure, influence, and human connection, and how these interests evolved into a career focused on organizational storytelling and leadership. We explore practical frameworks, including my four-part story model (Setup → Change → Turning → Resolution) and the power of "twists" to create momentum and memorability. The episode also touches on authentic messaging, the role of vulnerability in leadership, and why practicing storytelling in everyday life—outside high-stakes moments—builds confidence and executive presence over time. Listeners will hear lessons from a lifetime of diverse experiences: running a café in the Mission District, collaborating with BJ Fogg on behavioral change, building Zander Media, and applying storytelling to align teams and organizations. We also discuss how authenticity and personal perspective remain a competitive advantage in an age of AI-generated content. If you're curious about how storytelling, practice, and presence intersect with leadership, persuasion, and influence, this episode is for you. And for more insights on human connection, organizational alignment, and the future of work, check out Snafu, my weekly newsletter on sales, persuasion, and storytelling here, and Responsive Conference, where we explore leadership, work, and organizational design here. Start (0:00) Storytelling & Identity Robin introduces Moroccan textiles behind him Made by his mother, longtime practicing artist Connects to Moroccan fiancée → double meaning of personal and cultural Reflection on family influence Father: environmental consulting firm Mother: artist Robin sees himself between their careers Early Fascination with Storytelling Childhood obsession with Morocco and Lawrence of Arabia Watched 4-hour movie at age 6–7 Fascinated by adventure, camels, storytelling, persuasion Early exposure shaped appreciation for coalition-building and influence Identity & Names Jess shares preference for "Jess" → casual familiarity Robin shares professional identity as "Xander" Highlights fluidity between personal and professional selves Childhood Experiences & Social Context Watching Lawrence of Arabia at birthday sleepover Friends uninterested → early social friction Andrew parallels with daughters and screen preferences Childhood experiences influence perception and engagement Professional Background & Storytelling Application Robin's long involvement with PeopleTech and People Leader Accelerator Created PLA website, branding, documented events Mixed pursuits: dance, media, café entrepreneurship Demonstrates applying skills across domains Collaboration with BJ Fogg → behavioral change expertise Storytelling as Connection and Alignment Robin: Storytelling pulls from personal domains and makes it relevant to others Purpose: foster connection → move together in same direction Executive relevance: coalition building, generating momentum, making the case for alignment Andrew: HR focus on connection, relationships, alignment, clarity Helps organizations move faster, "grease the wheels" for collaboration Robin's Credibility and Experience in Storytelling Key principle: practice storytelling more than listening Full-time entrepreneur for 15 years First business at age 5: selling pumpkins Organized neighborhood kids in scarecrow costumes to help sell Earned $500 → early lessons in coalition building and persuasion Gymnastics and acrobatics: love of movement → performance, discipline Café entrepreneurship: Robin's Cafe in Mission District, SF Started with 3 weeks' notice to feed conference attendees Housed within a dance studio → intersection of dance and behavioral change First experience managing full-time employees Learned the importance of storytelling for community building and growth Realized post-sale missed opportunity: storytelling could have amplified success Transition to Professional Storytelling (Zander Media) Lessons from cafe → focus on storytelling, messaging, content creation Founded Zander Media (2018) Distributed small team, specializes in narrative strategy and video production Works with venture-backed companies and HR teams to tell stories internally and externally Provides reps and depth in organizational storytelling Why Storytelling Matters for Organizations Connects people, fosters alignment Enables faster movement toward shared goals Storytelling as a "powerful form of connection" What Makes a Good Story Robin: frameworks exist, but ultimately humans want: Education, entertainment, attention Sustained attention (avoid drift to TikTok, distractions) Framework examples: Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell) → 17 steps Dan Harmon's 8-part structure → simplified version of Hero's Journey Robin's preferred model: 4-part story structure (details/examples forthcoming) The Power of the Twist, and Organizational Storytelling Robin's Four-Part Story Model Core idea: stories work best when they follow a simple arc Setup → Change → Turning (twist/reveal) → Resolution Goal: not rigid frameworks, but momentum, surprise, payoff The "Turning" (Twist) as the Sticky Moment Pixar example via Steve Jobs and the iPod Nano Setup: Apple's dominance, market context, long build-up Choice point: Option A: just reveal the product Option B (chosen): pause + curiosity Turning: the "tiny jeans pocket" question Reveal: iPod Nano pulled from the pocket Effect: entertainment, disruption, memorability Key insight: The twist creates pause, delight, and attention This moment often determines whether a story is remembered Why Flat Stories Fail Example (uninspiring): "I ran a cafe → wanted more marketing → now I run Xander Media" Improved arc with turning: Ran a cafe → wanted to do more marketing → sold it on Craigslist → built Xander Media Lesson: A reveal or risk creates narrative energy The Four Parts in Practice Setup The world as it is (Bilbo in the Shire) Change Something disrupts the norm (Gandalf arrives) Turning Twist, reveal, or surprise (the One Ring) Resolution Payoff and return (Bilbo back to the Shire) How to Use This as a Leader Don't force stories into frameworks Look at stories you already tell Identify where a disruption, surprise, or reveal could live Coalition-building lens Stories should move people into shared momentum Excitement → flow → aligned action Storytelling Mediums for HR & Organizations Employer brand ≠ separate from company brand Should be co-owned by HR and marketing Brand clarity attracts the right people, repels the wrong ones Strong brands are defined by: Who they are Who they are not Who they're for and not for HR vs Marketing: The Nuance Collaboration works only if: HR leads on audience and truth Marketing supports execution, not control Risk: Marketing optimizes for customers, not employees HR understands attraction, retention, culture fit Storytelling at the Individual Level No one is "naturally" good or bad at storytelling It's reps, not talent Practical advice: Know your ~15 core stories (career, company, turning points) Practice pauses like a comedian Notice when people lean in Opinionated Messaging = Effective Messaging Internal storytelling should: Be clear and opinionated Repel as much as it attracts Avoid: Corporate vanilla Saying a lot without saying anything Truth + Aspirational Truth Marketing and storytelling are a mix of: What is actually true What the organization is becoming Being "30% more honest" builds trust Including flaws and tradeoffs Example: budget brands, Southwest, Apple's office-first culture Why This Works Opinions create personality Personality creates stickiness Stickiness creates memory, alignment, and momentum Authenticity as the last real advantage We're flooded with AI-generated content (video, writing, everything) Humans are extremely good at sensing what feels fake Inauthenticity is easier to spot than ever One of the few remaining advantages: Be true to the real story of the person or organization Not polished truth — actual truth What makes content feel "AI-ish" AI can generate volume fast Books, posts, stories in minutes What it can't replicate: Personal specificity Why a story matters to you What an experience felt like from the inside Lived moments Running a café Growing into leadership What lasts: Personal story lesson learned relevance to this reader relevance to this relationship What content will win long-term Vulnerability Not oversharing, but real experience Personal perspective Why this matters to me Relevance Why it should matter to you Outcome Entertainment Insight Shared direction The risk of vulnerability (it can backfire) Being personal doesn't guarantee buy-in Example: inspirational talk → employee openly disagrees Emotional deflation Self-doubt Early leadership lesson: You can do your best People will still push back Leadership at higher levels gets harder, not easier Bigger teams → higher stakes Better pay Benefits Real expectations First "real" leadership pain points: Bad hires Mismatched expectations Disgruntled exits Realization: Conflict isn't failure It's a sign you've leveled up "Mountains beyond mountains" Every new level comes with new challenges Entrepreneurship Executive leadership Organizational scale Reframe setbacks: Not proof you're failing Proof you're progressing Authenticity at the executive table Especially hard for HR leaders Often younger Often earlier in career Often underrepresented Anxiety is normal The table doesn't feel welcoming Strategy: Name it "This is new for me" "I'm still finding my voice" Own it Ask for feedback Speak anyway Authenticity ≠ no consequences Being honest can carry risk Not every organization wants change Hard truth: You can't change people who don't want to change Sometimes the right move is leaving Guiding advice: Find people who already want what you offer Help them move faster Vulnerability as a competitive advantage Almost any perceived weakness can be reframed New Nervous Different When named clearly: It builds trust It creates permission It signals confidence Getting better at storytelling (practical) It's not talent — it's reps Shyness → confidence through practice Start small Don't test stories when stakes are highest Practice specifics Your core stories Your pitch Energy matters Enthusiasm is underrated Tempo matters Pauses Slowing down Letting moments land Executive presence is built Incrementally Intentionally Practice, Progress, and Learning That Actually Sticks Measure growth against yourself, not "the best" The real comparison isn't to others It's who you were yesterday MrBeast idea: If you're not a little uncomfortable looking at your past work You're probably not improving fast enough Important distinction: Discomfort ≠ shame Shame isn't a useful motivator Progress shows up in hindsight Looking back at past work "I'd write that

#203 - What if the scary dream is the one that sets you free? That's the spark behind our conversation with singer-songwriter and outdoor enthusiast Emily Hicks—a Midwesterner who found her artistic voice in the shadow of Utah's mountains and the flow of the Green River. Emily traces her path from a shy choir kid to a piano major, from elementary music teacher to full-time performer, and the many small, brave asks that turned busking into real gigs and a steady career. Along the way we dig into how three chords taught her to keep going, why stage banter is a craft of its own, and how long bar sets can train a voice like any other muscle.We also explore the places where art and nature meet. Emily shares how trails give her mind room to breathe, how campfires invite honesty, and why her next EP leans on outdoor metaphors—switchbacks, weather windows, and the grind to the summit. Nashville shows up as a sharpening stone: songwriter rounds, co-writing sessions, and the hard decision to keep her best songs for herself. Her niche keeps revealing itself in unexpected places, like a women's yoga and music rafting trip where she played a carbon fiber guitar on the river and watched strangers become community under the stars.Threaded through it all is resilience. Emily talks frankly about rejection, the importance of choosing rooms that fit, and the trust it takes—for yourself, from partners and friends—to keep moving toward the work that lights you up. If you're craving a boost of courage, a reminder to step outside, and a soundtrack to match, you'll feel at home here.

We open with CIY's interactive team and how they're hijacking Unreal Engine to turn LED walls into living sets, sync visuals with stage moments, and run games that respond to what's actually happening in the room. It's not spectacle for spectacle's sake; it's a toolkit that supports hosts, speakers, and students with genuine interaction and cohesive storytelling.Then we shift to Jon Lee of Northeast Christian Church, who lays out a compelling case for “tried and true” youth ministry. His team runs a clear weekly rhythm—large group teaching and worship followed by grade-and-gender small groups—because predictability lowers anxiety, makes invitations easier, and creates the safety students need for honest talk. The creativity doesn't vanish; it moves to retreats, camps, and mission trips where novelty can breathe without disrupting trust. Jon also shares Northeast's values language—belong before you believe, groups are where you grow, saved people serve people—and how repeating it across spaces turns identity into action, with a majority of students serving beyond student ministry.We dig into when to change models and “kill old dinosaurs,” including Northeast's post-COVID decision to integrate high schoolers more deeply into the broader church so college transitions feel natural. You'll hear practical ideas for first Wednesdays, middle school micro-teaching and table conversations, leadership pipelines that let high schoolers facilitate, and annual goal reviews that keep teams aligned. We also swap resources shaping their approach: Canoeing the Mountains, Working Genius, and the habit of learning from other churches instead of leading in a silo.If you're ready to reduce friction, deepen engagement, and place creativity where it has the most impact, this conversation will sharpen your calendar and your culture.

It's Friday, January 16th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Chinese Communists arrested house church leaders On January 6th, Chinese Communists detained leaders and members of the Early Rain Covenant Church amid the nation's continued persecution of Christians, reports International Christian Concern. As of January 12, ChinaAid reported that six Christians from the church were either detained or placed under house arrest including Elder Li Yingqiang and his wife Zhang. They reportedly left a video message for their children in the event of their arrests. In it, they tell their children, “If one day you do not see mom and dad anymore, remember the hymn we sang together today.” The couple proceeds to sing “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people.” Produced by Maranatha Music, you might recognize Messianic Praise's version of the song “As the Mountains.” MESSIANIC PRAISE: “As the mountains are around Jerusalem, the Lord is all around His people. As the mountains are around Jerusalem, the Lord is all around His people.” The Early Rain congregation has been the target of persecution at the hands of Chinese officials for many years due to its “unregistered” status. Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act amid unrest after second I.C.E.-involved shooting On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to restore order amid ongoing riots against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minneapolis in the wake of a second I.C.E.-involved shooting Wednesday night, reports the Christian Post. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the Insurrection Act, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State." Trump's threat came the morning after an I.C.E. officer shot an illegal Venezuelan immigrant in the leg after he allegedly fled during a traffic stop and attempted to beat the officer with a shovel, according to the Department of Homeland Security. DHS claimed the officer was "fearing for his life and safety" when the suspect "violently assaulted" him. The suspect was reportedly in stable condition, and the I.C.E. agent remains hospitalized. The shooting came a week after an I.C.E. agent fatally shot Renee Good, video of whom shows her driving her vehicle into him after refusing to comply with officers. Ari Fleischer: Minnesota leftists want illegals to stay in America Appearing on Fox News Channel's Special Report, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer offered his analysis. FLEISCHER: “The Insurrection Act is aimed at ‘civil disobedience.' It goes on to armed conflict as well, but it includes civil disobedience. Not peaceful protest, but civil disobedience. “And when you have the Governor of Minnesota, [Tim Walz], use the words ‘atrocities,' that ICE is committing ‘atrocities,' Governor Walz's word, when he says it's federal ‘occupation' of Minnesota, his word, ‘occupation,' urging Minnesotans to take to the streets to ‘bank evidence for future prosecutions,' Governor Walz's words, he is not seeking to calm things down. He is riling things up. And I think you have to ask what the root reason is why. “And it's because after the Biden years in which tens of millions of people came in illegally across the border with the willingness and the happiness of Democratic officials, now they want them to stay. They do not want people who came here illegally to have to leave in compliance with the law. They want them to get away with it. And that's what's driving their behavior.” If Supreme Court affirms two sexes, Trump will hold blue states accountable Riley Gaines, a podcaster and the former college swimming champion who objected to allowing biological men compete with women, asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt a question at the daily briefing. GAINES: “I was in Washington, DC earlier this week for the Supreme Court case. There were two arguments that were heard surrounding sex-based rights, and if it's constitutional for states to pass laws that ultimately protect those rights for women. “If the Supreme Court rules, as anticipated, in favor of maintaining these sex-based rights, is the [Trump] administration prepared to take action against the states? I believe at this point it's 23 states that don't have those protections for women.” LEAVITT: “Absolutely. The [Trump] administration already has done so. We've taken action in a number of fronts against these states who are failing to uphold the President's Executive Orders in this administration's policy of simply protecting women in women's sports and in women's private spaces. “We've gone to the mat with large universities in this country as well to try to fight for what's fair and what's just for women and girls across the country. Women's sports and private spaces should be protected. “There are two sexes. That is not something we should be afraid to say in this country. Men and women are different, but inherently equal. We hope and expect that the Supreme Court will rule in the right way on this matter.” Charges dropped against Red Rose pro-life rescuers After a successful pro-life rescue that temporarily closed a Pennsylvania abortion mill, involved arrests and initial jail time of several days, six Red Rose Rescue activists had all criminal charges against them dismissed on Monday at the Delaware County Courthouse, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The rescuers included Dr. Monica Miller, Eric Holmberg, Will Goodman, ChristyAnne Collins, Patty Woodworth, and Joan Andrews Bell. Regarding their successful July 31 rescue at the Delaware County Women's Abortion Mill, Dr. Miller said, “We came out on top for sure.” At the time, the six Red Rose Rescuers were peacefully offering roses to mothers going into the chemical abortion facility along with resources for alternatives to abortion. They also provided information to abortion center staff regarding how they could depart the abortion industry and access support from former abortion staff members who had become pro-life. The rescuers were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and “defiant” trespass after they refused to leave the abortion mill at the request of police officers, to whom they explained “we cannot leave as long as the unborn are scheduled to be killed.” Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” As a result of their pro-life rescue efforts, the abortion mill temporarily closed. Every woman walked out of there without the kill pills. Miller added, “That meant that at least the unborn children had a reprieve of their executions. And this gave women an opportunity to change their minds.” Early peanut exposure in babies tied to sharp drop in food allergies Historically, parents have been advised to avoid feeding peanuts to babies for the first few years of life, but emerging research has confirmed that introducing them sooner — as early as infancy — could help stave off food allergies, reports Fox News. A 2025 study, led by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, analyzed medical records from dozens of pediatric practices across the U.S., finding that early introduction of peanuts resulted in a 27% decrease in peanut allergy diagnoses among children and a 38% decrease in overall food allergies. 387th anniversary of first U.S. state's constitution And finally, this past Tuesday, January 14th, was the 387th anniversary of the year Connecticut revealed the world's first written democratic constitution establishing a representative government. On January 14, 1639, the state adopted the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut. It was largely inspired by a sermon delivered by clergyman Thomas Hooker who has been dubbed the “Father of Connecticut.” Hooker expressed his advocacy for a government that was run by the people and listed the following reasons. “(1) that the choice of magistrates belongs unto the people by God's allowance, (2) the privilege of election must be exercised according to the blessed will and law of God, (3) those who have power to appoint officers and magistrates have also power to set bounds and limitations of the powers.” Psalm 19:7 says, “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, January 16th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Overview In this episode, Michael D. Levitt sits down with Dr. Abraham George, founder of the Shanti Bhavan Children's Project in South India. For more than 30 years, Abraham has dedicated his life to transforming the futures of children from families earning less than $5 per day. His school provides a 14-year residential education that begins in preschool and continues through college, ensuring students have the tools to break the cycle of poverty. Each graduate is asked to help 100 others, multiplying the impact of Shanti Bhavan's mission and creating a ripple effect across generations. The results speak for themselves: graduates have attended Ivy League universities and now hold positions at leading global companies. From Finance to Philanthropy Abraham shares his extraordinary transition from a successful finance career to social entrepreneurship. A pivotal experience in the Himalayas inspired him to dedicate his life to education and equality. He reflects on the meaning of true purpose and how many professionals eventually seek a deeper mission beyond financial success. His forthcoming book, Mountains to Cross, captures these lessons through dialogues with children, making profound life lessons accessible and deeply human. Redefining Philanthropy Abraham emphasizes that real philanthropy requires personal involvement, not just financial contributions. He outlines three types of wealthy individuals—those still building their wealth, those with moderate means who can start small projects, and those with great wealth who often contribute only financially. His message is clear: leadership and personal connection are vital in driving meaningful change. Even limited time spent with those in need can bring immense satisfaction and measurable impact. Resources and Upcoming Work Dr. George's story has been featured in the acclaimed Netflix documentary Daughters of Destiny, which earned both Academy and Emmy Awards. His upcoming book Mountains to Cross will be released in January. Learn more about his life's work at drabrahamgeorge.com.

Levitt to explore how purpose-driven leadership can transform lives and communities. Before founding the renowned Shanti Bhavan Children's Project, Dr. George built a successful career in international finance and investment management. His time in the corporate world shaped his understanding of ethical leadership, global inequality, and the moral responsibilities that come with success. Those insights would later compel him to dedicate his life and resources to social change. For nearly three decades, Dr. George has led Shanti Bhavan, an award-winning educational initiative that empowers children from India's most disadvantaged backgrounds to become leaders, innovators, and changemakers. His journey from the high-stakes world of finance to a life devoted to service offers profound lessons on compassionate leadership, perseverance, and purpose-driven transformation. In this conversation, Dr. George also shares insights from his upcoming book, Mountains to Cross, which explores the courage to lead with humanity and the unwavering belief in what's possible when we align success with service. Key Takeaways: How ethical leadership can drive meaningful social change. The intersection of financial success and moral responsibility. Lessons from three decades of empowering youth through education. The courage it takes to shift from ambition to altruism. Why hope and perseverance remain at the heart of true leadership.

EMILY FISHER: BRINGING KIDS TO THE SPORTThe 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games left a legacy of venues across Utah. But they also left a culture that motivates kids to get into sport. Each winter, the Youth Sports Alliance in Park City leads thousands of boys and girls into winter sport. And today, YSA is bringing its expertise to Ski Utah's popular 4th Grade School Program. Last Chair sat down with YSA Executive Director Emily Fisher in the High West Studio to talk about the culture of winter sport in Utah, and how more kids than ever before are finding their way into skiing and snowboarding.Today, nearly a quarter century after the 2002 Games, new generations of Utah youth are finding excitement in winter sport – from speed skating to luge to skiing and snowboarding. Sure, it's the fun and excitement of sport. But it's also about the life lessons that sport teaches.“Really, it's the smiles and seeing how excited they are about skiing, about the culture, about being active in winter sport,” said Fisher. “I think if you're not exposed to it, it is easy to sit inside in the winter and to see these kids so excited to get outside, even when it's snowing, even when it's really cold, they're excited. They want to be part of this program, and their families want them to be part of this program. But just the smiles and the laughter make everything, all the hustle all year, worth it.”YSA's longstanding Get Out & Play program introduces kids to myriad different sports. It's a sampling program to give kids a sense of what they like to do. From there, they can pick a sport and engage in a local club. You never know where it might lead. At the upcoming Milan Cortina Olympics, local Utah athlete Casey Dawson will challenge for a speed skating gold, while Ashley Farquharson is a favorite in luge. This season YSA is taking on a new role, managing Ski Utah's 4th Grade School Program. In its 30 years, the Ski Utah program has introduced over 100,000 Utah kids to skiing and snowboarding.

True Crime Today's weekly review examines the Sarah Grace Patrick murder case ahead of her January 5th trial — and why the prosecution's public case doesn't add up yet.Sarah Grace Patrick was sixteen when her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock were shot dead in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Her five-year-old sister found the bodies. For five months, Sarah mourned publicly on TikTok, reached out to true crime creators, and delivered an emotional eulogy. Investigators arrested her claiming mountains of evidence. The defense says they still don't have full discovery.What's been made public? TikTok posts. DMs to influencers. A eulogy the sheriff thought was "odd." No murder weapon confirmed recovered. No motive disclosed. That's what prosecutors are bringing to a jury in weeks.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joined us to analyze what the actual evidence shows — and what the family history reveals that media coverage has largely ignored. Court records show Sarah told police at eleven years old she felt unsafe in her mother's home. Custody filings contain drug allegations. James Brock was on probation for meth offenses and once accused Kristin of trying to run him over with a car. They got married anyway. A blended family with fractures running deep.Sarah's grandfather — Kristin's own father — says Sarah is innocent. The Brock family wants her locked up. Friends wore "I Stand with Sarah" shirts to court. The judge denied bond. The key witness? A six-year-old girl who may testify against her sister.
