Helping Hurricane Survivors Through Patriot Relief Fund
As a Level 1 certified OSHA instructor in logging, she knows her way around both timber and safety standards. Leigh and Trent discuss how vocational and industrial arts education has faded from schools, replaced by a heavy push toward college since 1984—driven largely by the explosion of student loan availability. Leigh argues it's time we bring back hands-on learning and respect for skilled trades.
The conversation takes a personal turn as Leigh shares what she’s been planting in her own garden this season, showing how staying grounded starts right at home. But perhaps the most powerful part of the show comes in the final two segments, when Leigh opens up about her work with the Patriot Relief Fund, a grassroots effort helping families recover from the devastation of Hurricane Helene. From boots-on-the-ground stories to the heartbreak and hope she’s witnessed firsthand, Leigh paints a powerful picture of resilience in her community. Learn more at patriotrelieffund.com.
