In Episode 38 of the Lasting Change Podcast, Scott talks with Hector Chavez De La Rosa about a leadership approach rooted in humility, local ownership, and coming alongside others in meaningful ways.
Hector shares the concept of being a “window and a mirror” - helping people see new possibilities while reflecting hope in a way that feels attainable. His story, shaped by hardship, military service, and strong mentorship, highlights a powerful truth: lasting change happens when communities are equipped and empowered to lead themselves.
