A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video in which the speaker (James Laughlin) lists three main priorities: (1) ensuring vulnerable community members have basic needs met for a healthy community, (2) protecting the community and reducing impacts from climate change, and (3) empowering and training the next generation of leaders to carry forward public and community-serving roles.
How I move forward and stay on track. There are kind of like, three main goals for me. So, first of all, it's just how do we help our most vulnerable and get them what they need so that we have a healthy community and that people have what they need to get by? Secondly, it's our planet. How do we protect our people from the upcoming impacts of climate change? How do we reduce the impact? And third, you know, I'm only going to be here for a certain amount of time, so how can I empower, train, inspire the next generation of leaders to step up and put themselves into, whether it's political roles or, as you say, CEO, those community leaders, those with influence and impact, to make sure that we're still doing right by our people and our planet?
