It’s easy to be too busy. Easy to assume someone else will step up.
But our young people and communities need more than good intentions.
Show up. Listen. Encourage. Believe in someone.
You may never know the difference you made.
What’s the good word?

I’ve spent at least one night in all 50 states (yes, North Dakota too! 😂).
I’ve always loved the journey more than the destination. The scenery is incredible, but it’s the people and their stories that make this country special.
God is good. Enjoy the journey. 🇺🇸🙏
You don’t need a title to lead or recognition to make a difference.
Show up. Listen. Encourage. Help someone today.
You never know how much your small act of kindness might mean to someone else.
Be the good.
#WhatsTheGoodWord
Too often we focus on what’s standing in our way instead of what’s possible.
Opportunities don’t always come with a clear path. Know what you want, stay committed, and keep moving forward.
And never stand in the way of someone else’s pursuit.

Twelve hours from Arizona to Colorado gave me lots of time to admire the Rockies… and wonder when “slower traffic keep right” became optional. 😂🏔️
If everyone’s passing you on the right, maybe it’s time to move over.
Some of the experiences that prepared me most were the ones I never would have chosen.
I’m still learning from them—and asking the Holy Spirit to guide how I respond, lead and serve.
Trust God. Do the work in front of me. Keep growing. 🙏
A team’s culture shows up after a mistake.
Do teammates point fingers, go quiet, or help each other reset?
This week, practice being the teammate who says, “Here’s what we need to do next.”

Opening a door for someone is great.
But leadership goes further.
Teach them how to prepare.
Communicate.
Follow up.
Handle adversity.
Build relationships
Because eventually you won’t be standing beside them
Prepare them to walk through the next door without you

Full-time jobs. Families. Long workdays. Our Little League coaches still showed up for us.
Coach Joe DelSodato taught me that caring about players and holding high standards belong together.
A story from my book. Thanks to Tom Desaulniers for sharing this photo.

Lead yourself. Lead others. Leave it better.

A reminder for me this morning: start the day with God, then pay attention to the people in front of you.
I can get so focused on what’s next that I miss a chance to listen or encourage someone right now. 🙏
Your name will come up in rooms you’re not in.
A coach calls.
A scout asks.
An employer checks.
“What kind of person are they?”
Talent may get your name into the conversation.
Character often determines what gets said next.
Build a reputation worth having.

I thought I was writing my story. I’m discovering how many people helped write it with me. Some are still here. Some aren’t. Some probably never knew the impact they had. Maybe our stories are really pieces of everyone who helped shape us. What’s the Good Word?

OUAZ Emerging Professionals learning the power of networking today.
Thank you to Mike Hoover, Maggie Lewis & the City of Surprise for investing in our students!
Learn. Connect. Grow.
Love it!!
Our OUAZ Leadership students showed up for Countryside Elementary’s Literacy Night—playing games with kids, helping teachers, and welcoming families.
Reading grows when a community shows up for its kids. Proud of our students for doing just that. 📚
MORE THAN A CLASS. #OUAZLead
Your next opportunity may come from how you handle the one you already have
Show up
Be prepared
Treat people well
Do the small things right
Leave it better than you found it
You never know who’s watching—or what door opens next
