Guests: Chris Rugowski, Zachary Pate

We welcome Zachary Pate, founder of Little Hearts Big Minds. He's turned personal trials into youth empowerment, emphasizing mentorship and community connection. Originating from Jackson, Mississippi, Zachary overcame adversity, inspiring young minds through sports and emotional learning programs across various schools. His nonprofit focuses on building relationships and providing a safe haven for at-risk youth. Meanwhile, local music lights up the scene with Chris Rugowski sharing his unique sound, embodying the spirit of creativity and resilience. Chris is part of the band Age of Fable, but joins us with a couple of great solo songs. He helps to kick off the weekend!
