Are our cities, counties, and state doing enough to positively impact the homelessness crisis?

In this episode of Live Ready – Beyond Think and Grow Rich, I sit down with Randy Shumway to talk purpose, accountability, and bold leadership in the face of a growing crisis.

As we begin a new year, know this: You’re not behind, and you’re not too late—you’re exactly where you need to be if you choose what comes next. In this episode of Live Ready – Beyond Think and Grow Rich, I show how refocusing, not restarting, creates real momentum. Happy New Year and Live Ready!

This week, David is joined by former Zions Bank CEO Scott Anderson for a powerful conversation that shines a light on several core Live Ready principles.

Scott learned early in life to define what you want and repeat it with conviction—and in this episode, you’ll discover just how transformative that simple discipline can be.

Christmas invites us to pause, reflect, and give thanks—not just for success, but for the lessons that shaped us.

In this special Live Ready episode, I share with you why gratitude is the foundation of faith, growth, and readiness for the year ahead. Merry Christmas, and Live Ready!

In this emotional episode, David sits down with Diane Meeks, whose search for her birth mother led her to discoveries far beyond what she imagined.

Her journey is a powerful testament to the Live Ready principle of Faith-Based Action—a story so inspiring you’ll find yourself rewatching it, sharing it, and carrying it with you for years to come.

As we begin 2026, remember this: Purpose without execution is just a wish.

Execution without purpose is motion without meaning. We need both — Purpose and Execution. So, I challenge you: Clarify your WHY. Build your HOW. Install your success patterns. Success comes from what you do daily, not from what you promise yearly.

A strong WHY with a powerful HOW — lived consistently — will elevate you and people will know you’re a person they can count on.
