## Resource

In today’s episode, I reflect on the lessons my mom taught me simply through the way she lived. After raising six kids on a second grade teacher’s salary, she showed me what resilience, humility, kindness, and service really look like. I share stories about growing up in Akron, Ohio, carrying those lessons into my career, and the impact teachers and parents have on shaping lives long after the classroom is gone. From funny moments with my kids and social media to an emotional encounter at LAX with one of my mom’s former students, this conversation is about gratitude, legacy, and the people who quietly change the world every single day.
