Trevor Lee is a local advocate and changemaker who turned personal trauma into a powerful shield for the most vulnerable. From surviving childhood abuse to navigating the halls of the state legislature to pass the "Gabby Act," Trevor has spent his life defining what it means to stand up and refuse to "walk by" community injustice.
In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on "Empathy as Advocacy." Trevor reveals the mental toughness required to heal from deep trauma, the heavy realities of frontline community advocacy, and why true justice requires a collective responsibility from all of us. This is a masterclass in transforming personal pain into systemic change and finding the way through the persistence required to protect the vulnerable.

Photographer’s Leap of Faith
Jared Kreiss is a world-class nature photographer who walked away from a stable career path to follow a silent intuition that led him across the globe. From selling everything he owned for a one-way ticket to New Zealand to standing face-to-face with grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness, Jared shares a powerful story of risk, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of a vision. This conversation goes behind the "photo dumps" to reveal the Herculean effort required to capture the perfect moment—whether it's days spent on a paddleboard or weeks tracking wildlife in the Smokies. Jared explores the profound "sense of place" found in the wild, the patience required to master a craft from scratch, and how a leap of faith can transform a vague spark into a life of purpose and freedom.
