Today we're going to talk about value-based leadership. Mike Thornton, CEO and President of AMIkids, a national nonprofit organization that serves troubled youth. The organization embodies “Kids First!” as a  core value.

Over Mike's career, he served as Executive Director of seven different programs, Regional Director of Operations, and Director of Human before joining the Executive Leadership.  In this episode Mike joins Dr. Swagger in discussing the importance of aligning your service and career with your values. But the thing about it is, Mike has built his career in the same organization for nearly 30 years.
