In this episode, Don sits down with longtime friend and visionary youth leader Jim Cummings, founder of UrbanTrekkers. Together they explore the meditation “The Words That Lead” and unpack the power of language in building trust, shaping culture, and honoring the communities we serve. Through stories of calling, courage, and hard-earned wisdom, Jim reflects on launching experiential learning programs across the globe - and what it really means for words and values to align in leadership.

They also dive into the power of words to break trust, but just as profoundly, to spark new ideas, ignite callings, and launch entire movements simply by speaking them out loud.
