As we close out this year of The Leader Within, we were honored to have our school counselor, Spencer Towne, join us for our final session.
Mr. Spencer has been more than just a guest—he has been a consistent presence, pouring into our young men throughout the year with wisdom, support, and real conversations that matter. As a licensed professional counselor who works daily with children, adolescents, and young adults, he brings real insight from walking alongside countless students through challenges, growth, and life transitions.
Today, we tackled a powerful question: What does it truly mean to be a man and a leader?
Our discussion challenged the young men to think deeper about character, responsibility, emotional strength, and the courage to grow. We talked about what makes a good man—not just in words, but in actions—and what it looks like to lead with integrity, humility, and purpose.
The reminder that stood out most is simple, but powerful:
You are a work in progress. You are capable. You are strong. You are worthy.
I’m grateful for Mr. Spencer’s commitment to this group and for the impact he’s made—not just today, but throughout this journey.
To these young men: you sacrificed time, you showed up, and you grew. This is just the beginning. The leader within you is still being built.
