🎙 Go In Courage Podcast #09: Valuing Young People - Leading With Compassion with Ian Smith (CEO of East to West).
What does it take to lead with integrity in a world that often values results over relationships? In this heart-centered episode, host Rix Banga sits down with Ian Smith, CEO of youth charity East to West, for a gentle but powerful conversation about leadership, faith, compassion, and emotional resilience.
From working in the Inland Revenue to walking alongside vulnerable young people, Ian shares how his view of people (and himself) changed over time.
This is a story of transformation through kindness. Ian opens up about the quiet courage it takes to show up for others every day, especially when you're holding their pain. You’ll hear about navigating burnout, redefining success, and why caring deeply is not a weakness but a strength we need more of.
