Leaders Who Create Compassion: Join Jason Squires as he sits down with Drew Trowbridge, a high schooler from Santa Cruz, CA, who turned a simple idea into years of steady, meaningful impact in his local community. What started as a lemonade stand grew into a movement of compassion, generosity, and collaboration. In this episode, Jason and Drew talk about where the heart for helping others really begins, how to rally people around a vision, and why age has nothing to do with the size of the difference you can make. Drew shares how his understanding of compassion has matured over the years, what it looks like when kindness becomes a lifestyle, and why small ideas, when acted on, can become something bigger than you ever imagined.

Whether you’re a student, leader, or someone wondering if your idea matters, this conversation will inspire you to start right where you are and serve the community in front of you.
