The Future of Local Philanthropy

Pull up a chair -- you’re invited to The Grown-Up Table, where we have real conversations about character, life, and the world around us. This isn’t a place to hear whining from the Kid’s table, but a space to ask the questions we’ve all been thinking: Are college students coddled? Why is profanity everywhere? What happened to customer service? And yes -- why do airlines seem to make it so hard?

Each episode mixes curiosity with candor and humor, looking at how life has changed over the years, and what’s worth highlighting and challenging.  Along the way, we’ll invite guests, from industry leaders to everyday experts, who either confirm our suspicions or challenge us with a new perspective.

Whether you’re nodding along in agreement or rethinking your stance, The Grown-Up Table is about more than nostalgia. It’s about understanding where we’ve been, why things are the way they are, and how we can keep character and connection alive in today’s world.
