Brent and his wife knew they wanted to adopt but had to wait over 3 years before seeing that dream fulfilled. Then, just 5 weeks after receiving an email from a child advocacy attorney, they added 3 children to their family, in addition to the 3 they already had!

Brent’s passion to make a difference in the world goes beyond his family, though. As Vice President of Student Leadership University, he helps high school students develop leadership skills that radically change their lives – and the world around them.

You’ll hear:

What led Brent and his wife to both want to adopt children
How they approach parenting multiple children with past trauma
What SLU is and how it builds future leaders
How COVID forced SLU to “re-invent” itself, and it came out better on the other side
Why he didn’t throw in the towel when things got really tough
Why he wrote his new book and what it’s about

**Plus, Brent answers Jeff’s question about how he would spend a free day if he could go anywhere – with no responsibilities at home.
