My guest, today for the 2nd time, is Youth Villages CEO Pat Lawler.  When someone has led an organization from less than 100 kids a year, a handful of staff, and evolved into an impact of more than 32,000 kids a year and over 3,600 staff and counting, they are going to have something to say that’s important to listen and learn from.  It’s energizing how a dream can start small, with focus, resiliency, passion, and leadership, it can evolve to be a national thought leader decades later and just getting started.  Children’s behavioral health and crime are crucial to our communities and the cities we live.  It’s a privilege to release this interview on my podcast, where you will learn:  What it takes to make a culture permeate all the way down to the front line Why being a front-line leader matters and the value it gives you to your organization How their recent national intercept recognition opens up even more tremendous opportunities across the United States Plus, much more!   Please enjoy this week’s episode with Pat Lawler!  This podcast was recorded for my work for Youth Villages on their own podcast Stronger Than You Think. So please check that out if you like this interview. This episode was such a great interview. I wanted to release it here on my podcast.

Pat Lawler (S2EP04)

In this episode of The Journey I sit down with Pat Lawler. Pat is a full-time commercial airline pilot who has been learning Swift and iOS Development in his downtime for a few years now. Pat gives great advice on having the tenacity to power through learning roadblocks and how to avoid the "tutorial trap". We also get to hear about Pat's goals for learning iOS development in becoming a part-time contractor to earn some extra income while he travels.  The Journey is a series of interviews with aspiring iOS developers from the community where we discuss where they are at in their journey to become an iOS Developer. We talk their stuggles and their successes in hopes to give insights to those of you on this same journey. I also give advice along the way.
