In this episode, we talk with David Doty, an education leader who has taken on some of the toughest assignments in the field. David shares what it was like to launch a brand-new school district in a deeply divided Utah community and how he later revitalized educational programs for incarcerated adults across the country. We get into what it takes to lead under scrutiny, build trust in fractured environments, and stay grounded in purpose when the pressure is on.
