What if leadership isn’t something you’re born with but something you build? In this episode of the Turning Wind Podcast, Kevin Zundl speaks with Enoch and Carl about how teens evolve into authentic leaders during their time at Turning Winds.
They break down how the program creates space for students to shift from self-focus to service, from insecurity to confidence. You’ll hear about real kids who found their voice, earned respect, and built lasting relationships by showing up for others.
Topics include:
- How leadership begins during treatment
- What makes the Summit level so rare and meaningful
- Why quiet teens often lead by example
- How validation from peers transforms motivation
- The role of service, consistency, and connection in building identity
If you're a parent wondering whether this kind of growth is possible, this conversation is filled with reasons to believe it is.
