On this week’s episode, I sit down for my very first real conversation with someone I’ve known at a distance for nearly fifteen years, Tyler Quick.

Tyler is my age, and he’s running for County Commissioner in Westminster—a fact that honestly blows me away. There’s something grounding about meeting a millennial who isn’t complaining about the system from the sidelines, but actually stepping into it with a plan, a backbone, and the skillset to make real local change.

We talk about it all: the strange identity of our generation, what leadership actually asks of a person, and the old mistakes we both seem to keep tripping over. Tyler is thoughtful, practical, and committed in that rare way that makes you want to sit up straighter. I’m grateful he came on the show, and I’m even more excited to support him as June’s primaries get closer.
