Who Needs to Be Doing This?

Send us Fan Mail We all say we want young people to become leaders. But are we willing to let them lead? In this solo episode, I use what I call the 0.6x lens to look at three seemingly unrelated experiences: livestock showing, an Eagle Scout project, and preparing a crew for Philmont Scout Ranch. The more I stepped back, the more I realized they were all asking the same question: Who needs to be doing this? Along the way, I share stories from agriculture, Scouting, and my own leadership experiences—including a few moments when I had to admit I didn't always get it right. Whether you're a parent, mentor, teacher, employer, coach, or volunteer, I hope this conversation challenges you to think differently about what it really means to help someone grow.
