  • Darcy Olsen, child advocate
    Jun 1 2026

    I love hearing from people who quietly do great things. Darcy Olsen has impacted on the lives of thousands of our most vulnerable children. She is a brilliant woman with a long history of policymaking and policy influence. But her work protecting the rights of abused children is remarkable. Darcy has fostered 10 children and adopted 4. This journey led her to start "The Center for the Rights of Abused Children". In our conversation you can hear her passion and her strength. This is one of the most significant installments of Amazing Arizonans. I hope you enjoy it.

  • Favorite Episode: Dan Quayle, former Vice President of the United States
    May 26 2026

    We started the Amazing Arizonans podcast hoping to give you a look at the remarkable people who make Arizona their home.

    I never imagined that we’d have such a huge response.

    This week I talk with former Vice President Dan Quayle. He served as vice president under President George H.W. Bush.

    He is a great storyteller with a sharp sense of humor.

    We talk about how the current fight against drug cartels is like the fight of the late 1980s and early 1990s. I hope you enjoy the conversation! This episode was originally published on March 2nd, 2026.

  • Mike D'Antoni, Hall of Famer and former Suns Coach
    May 18 2026

    It’s a privilege to have a conversation with a Hall of Famer in any field. It’s even more special when they are a local legend and a fantastic human being.

    That describes former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D’Antoni. D’Antoni talks about his career and some great memories he has of being the coach of the Suns. Not only the great players they were, but the great men of character they were as well.

    He is such a humble man that he spent so much of our time together talking about other people and not himself. He is a man of faith who loves his family and is very grateful for his career. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
