“How amazing it is that (my story) can reach people and encourage them and give them a hope that their life has purpose, that their life has meaning, that their story is not over. That's something that I've trusted in and have bought into the fact that my story is not over." Tennessee's Ashley Jones has a tremendously inspiring story. At 14 years old, she was in an ATV accident and lost her right arm. That did not stop her from continuing in sports. She was a soccer player and then competed in triathlons before fully committing to running as a junior in high school. She was a cross country standout for Valor Christian High School in Colorado. She started off her NCAA career at High Point and joined Tennesee's team this past fall. She was one of the team leaders during the cross country season with strong finishes at the SEC Championships and NCAA South Regional before going on to finish 42nd at the NCAA Cross Country Championships to lead the Vols to a sixth place team finish. Now she's getting ready to hit the track in the coming weeks but joins us with some exciting news that she has signed an NIL deal with On.

Denounce your sexuality or lose your job. That was the ultimatum offered to two athletic coaches at Valor Christian High School in Highland Ranch, Colorado. Inoke Tonga was a coach for the boys volleyball team before he was fired in 2021 for being gay. One year earlier, lacrosse coach Lauren Benner was forced to leave her position for the same reason--her sexuality didn't align with the school's beliefs. In today's four part episode, Levi speaks with Lauren and Inoke about their positions at Valor, the events that led to their termination, and how this intolerant environment will continue to affect the faculty and students if change doesn't come soon. We also chat with Lucy Sarkissian, a young but resilient advocate and student of Valor who organized several protests against the school's policies.

Kylee McVaney is the CEO of Nextworld, a company that delivers modern ERP architecture that helps organizations better align with today's business realities. This innovative and adaptable technical foundation is key to addressing unexpected change. Architecting for the modern business world means re-thinking how applications are developed. This revolutionary architecture insulates your business by separating the technology from the applications. Thus, enabling you to stop investing large amounts of money, staff, and time to simply maintain the status quo. Instead, you'll be increasing your ROI and lowering the TCO. Kylee was essentially raised on software, landing her first job in the technology industry in 1977 when her father, Ed McVaney, founded J.D. Edwards. Kylee was exposed to all aspects of the ERP product and, by the time she graduated high school, Kylee was considered a subject matter expert in both payables and fixed assets. Kylee went on to earn a BS in Accounting from the University of Southern California, became a CPA, enjoyed a brief stint in public accounting, and then returned to J.D. Edwards where she held various technical and management positions. In addition to her love of technology and software, Kylee is passionate about providing opportunities for the next generation to excel and make a positive impact in the world. In 2005, Kylee helped found Valor Christian High School and served as chairman of the board until 2017. Under her guidance, Valor has achieved national recognition, and has grown from an initial enrollment of 120 students to a current size of about 1,200. She joins the show to discuss Nextworld, the impacts of the global pandemic, her own journey, and the good business can and does do for society.  Hosted by Colorado Business Roundtable President Debbie Brown.

Zach Gautier is Dean of Academic Services at Valor Christian High School. This is a new series where I ask educators, "what is something that we need to stop in order to do better things?" It was inspired by Jon Eckert's Edutopia blog "The No in Innovate" where he says, "we cannot do everything well. If we attempt to be all things to all people, we will fail to do anything well. Therefore, school leaders should thoughtfully abandon those things that fail to serve students well..." https://www.edutopia.org/article/no-innovate

Scott Lowery, Back to Square One on Capital Club Radio Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Scott Lowery, a well-known leader and successful entrepreneur in the debt buying industry. Scott, throughout his tenure, was the Founder, CEO, President and Chairman of SquareTwo Financial Corporation, originally known as Collect America, LTD, headquartered in Denver, CO which became one of the top debt buyers in the United States and Canada. Under Scott's guidance as CEO, thecompany grew to over 25 franchised law firms across the US, over 100 local counsel legal firms in the network and revenue consistently exceeding $300M annually, with its top annual revenue number just under 600 million. Prior to the financial crisis, Collect America was in talks for an IPO with a valuation approaching $1.4B. After a new CEO took charge, the financial performance declined severely and SquareTwo filed bankruptcy in 2017 and was ultimately sold to Resurgent Capital Services, LP, a subsidiary of Sherman Financial Group. In 2018, Scott and his team acquired Galaxy Capital Acquisition, LLC which is a debt buyer and master servicer located in Atlanta, GA. Additionally, Scott is an attorney at Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson and Horniek, LLC, based in Wisconsin. Scott discusses how he goes back to “square one” with his new platform Galaxy. Scott currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Valor Christian High School, the Daniels School of Business Executive Advisory Board, the Colorado UpLift Board of Directors and Executive Board and the ACE Scholarships Board of Trustees. He also served on the Denver Hospice Board of Directors and the Investment Committee. Scott earned a BS degree in Business Administration and a JD degree from the University of Denver. In 2004, he was the recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Scott and his wife reside in Denver and are the proud parents of three daughters. Here is a glimpse of what Scott shared in the interview: “…. success is not linear, It's not a direct trade-off. So, you can do 90% of the work and still have zero or five or 10% of the success. Then suddenly it trips.” “… so this “square one”, a re-do or encore is just a way to gather again great people and work with some fun people. And I love the business … There are so many levers to pull.” About building culture: “I think it's simple and it's hard. The things you learned in elementary school, how to play well with others in the sand box. You've got to genuinely like people. You've got to genuinely respect people. You've got to have people believe in your vision and believe in you, and then they'll push you.” Connect with SquareTwo Financial: https://www.linkedin.com/company/squaretwo-financial Connect with Scott Lowery: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-scott-lowery-b0b754/ Capital Club Radio Hosted by: Michael Flock Sponsored by: Flock Specialty Finance Providing a forum for leaders in the middle market segment which has typically been undeserved by traditional banking.

Summary Some of the most valuable and enduring lessons that we need to learn are best taught at home. Conversations at the dinner table is one way, but activities and conversations in the car, during exercise, or while just hanging out are all wonderful opportunities. I include all of it under “The Dinner Table.” Links and References “Give a Man a Fish…” “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” Contact Please do reach out with comments or questions. You can email me at will@revolution2-0.org, or connect with me on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. And you can subscribe to the podcast on your favorite device through Apple Podcasts, Google, or Stitcher. Transcript This podcast makes the case for the nurture side of the nature vs. nurture discussion. And let’s take the vs. part out; both are powerful influencers, and should not at all be looked at as being in opposition one to the other. Nature and nurture. And we are also going to talk about the different roles and responsibilities we all have around the dinner table--part of the nurture element. The family dinner table is the metaphor we’ll use, but the roles and responsibilities are transportable to other settings. Conversations at the dinner table can certainly be effective, as are doing activities together, conversations in the car, during exercise, and talking while just hanging out. I include all of this under “The Dinner Table.” For the dinner table to work, to start with someone has to know something worthwhile. No, I am not talking about biases or opinions based on preconceived notions. And I am not talking about lecturing anyone, or trying to be right simply because you know, by God, you’re right. I am talking about things that will make the people around you better if they listen and take action on what you said or showed them by example. Making your case verbally with logic, making your case by example, making your case with care and with the other person’s benefit in mind can open a path for you to be heard. Share what you believe if you can also share, calmly and logically, why you believe it. And for the dinner table to work, someone else has to be willing to listen. Not be willing to buy into everything that’s said, but to be respectful enough to listen. Imagine that; a conversation where the speaker has something valuable to say, and the listener has enough intellectual curiosity and respect to actually listen. The evidence of the power of the dinner table is all around us. I’ll pass along some examples I have read about, and some from my own experience. And, my guess is, you have examples of your own. In sports, one of the first examples that comes to mind is the Manning family. Archie, Dad, and sons, Peyton and Eli, were all starting NFL quarterbacks; the sons have two Super Bowl rings each. Had the eldest son, Cooper, not been diagnosed with spinal stenosis the summer before he was to play football at his Dad’s alma mater, the University of Mississippi, he could easily have been the best of the three sons. How did that happen? Football, specifically quarterbacking, was discussed at the actual dinner table, and frequently practiced in the backyard and other settings. For many years. Here’s another football family: the McCaffrey’s. Ed, the Dad, won three three Super Bowl Rings; one as a wide receiver with the 49ers, and two with the Denver Broncos. The oldest son, Max, is a wide receiver with the 49ers. Christian McCaffrey plays in the NFL for the Carolina Panthers. Dylan plays for the University of Michigan, and the youngest, Luke, is a rising Junior at football powerhouse Valor Christian High School, and has already received offers from two major football colleges. Why? The primary answer is the same as above. The dinner table. We can see the same thing with families in politics and acting: Henry Fonda was Dad to Jane and Peter; Lloyd Bridges was Dad to Beau and Jeff; Kirk Douglas was Dad to Michael; Tony Curtis was Dad to Jamie Lee; Debbie Fisch...
