Leadership doesn’t always begin with a plan. For Mayor Deborah Hudson of Wilton, Alabama, it began with a simple errand—paying her water bill—and turned into a moment of truth for her town. With the mayor, clerk, utility staff, and most of the council gone, Wilton was in chaos. She could have walked away. Instead, she stepped up.
In this episode, Mayor Hudson shares how she took the reins in a time of disorder, guided by faith, honesty, and an unshakable commitment to her community. From restoring basic operations to winning the town’s first-ever grant, her story is a powerful example of steady leadership, even when the storm is already raging.
If you’ve ever been thrust into leadership—or wondered how others rise when everything falls apart—this conversation is a vivid reminder that some of the most powerful stories in leadership begin with a single, unexpected step.
