We’re back with another episode recorded live at the D’Vine Gourmet in Chandler.

Today, we sit down with Executive Director of Elementary Education Heather Anguiano from Chandler Unified Schools, LaShay Marks, Co-Founder of Operation Thrive, and realtor of the year Darwin Wall.

First, we sit down with Lashay Marks, a philanthropist in the Veteran's space. His organization is doing everything it can to support Veterans with Operation Thrive. Lashay talks about healing through movement and how he supports that with yoga, kayaking, mountain biking, and his signature event, Operation Thrive 5k.

Next, we sit down with Heather to discuss the state of Chandler Unified schools and how much has changed since the pandemic. We discuss policy, budget cuts, and how schools are now so much more than academics. It’s an eye-opening interview about the challenges our educators face.

Finally, we sat down with Darwin Wall to talk about youth hockey, real estate, and his family's history in Chandler, which started years ago with his grandfather's clothing store. His signature event to raise money for breast cancer is coming up, and you can learn more about that right here.
