Each guest brings their own portfolio to the show. This week's guest brings one that includes nurse, counselor, motorcycle racer, Guiness Book of World Records holder ... and the list goes on. Spend a half an hour learning with Adam. There is a bonus story at the end.

On this week's podcast we welcome Dr. Jim Rice. Educators in Arizona will need little more to introduce this long time Arizona leader. I am beyond thrilled to sit down with Jim and learn from him again, glean mentorship strategies and ideas, and gain insight on who mentored one of my mentors.

This week we welcome Mark Dix founder of the Phoenix Downtown Chamber Series (visit http://downtownchamberseries.org). Once you visit the site, head to the live shows which will remind you of the talent and beauty in our community.

This week it is the Fourth of July, America's Independence Day. Who better to get mentorship and leadership ideas than our Founding Fathers? If advice from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, or Abigail Adams is not enough to tickle your fancy, the podcast brings on a co-host for the first time. Joe Moreno joins the podcast and brings with his wisdom, humor and music (listen for the back-up singer). Enjoy the show!

This week, the podcast welcomes Liz Mullavey. Liz was a successful school principal who cared about her staff and students. She also welcomed a first-year principal (me) as I prepared for my rookie season as a principal. And now we can all learn from her on "Lead a Horse to Water".

On this week's podcast we are joined by Jayson Matthews. Jayson has been making a difference statewide as he serves all Arizonans. His support has been broad from food systems and the fight against hunger to senior services to creating a culture of philanthropy. I hope you enjoy the visit as much as I did with this "fierce advocate for human services and public service".

Each Spiral Day will feature "Story Time" - a chance for your host, Howard Paley, to share a story to bring everything together.

This week's podcast we learn from Mady Paley, my daughter. She currently works in higher education and is smart and insightful. Not only has she been one of my mentors (don't we all learn from our children) but she is the person who motivated me to start a podcast.

On this episode of "Lead a Horse to Water" we meet with Jason Bonder, Rabbi, writer, and left-handed pitcher. He shares his wisdom and insight and it is really a treat to talk with him and learn from him.
