What do scorpions, French horns, and world politics have in common?
Carlin Lutzer welcomes Nolan Asplund, a 16-year-old Okotoks phenom whose ambition is as diverse as his reptile collection.
Nolan shares how he founded Funky Fresh Reptiles, performs in the Calgary Youth Orchestra, and is preparing to speak with political leaders about reducing polarization and amplifying youth voices.
From explaining venomous versus poisonous species to advocating for more collaborative political systems, Nolan blends scientific insight with civic passion.
This isn't just a conversation—it's a glimpse into the future, and Nolan is boldly leading the way.
