Dr. Mark Crear is joined by Gloria Mercado-Fortine, a lifelong educator and community advocate, to explore the vital roles of leadership, education, and mental health. The discussion highlights the importance of servant leadership, where leading by example and serving others creates a "ripple effect" of positive change within organizations and the community. They also address the current mental health crisis facing youth and adults, emphasizing the need for community partnerships and accessible resources to support overall family well-being.

The race is not given to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to those who endure to the end.
