Episode 33: Trilety Wade and Jeff Sobczyk

Executive Director of KKAD25 Tom Everson hosted a live book event on August 25, 2023, in Denver, Colorado with copy editor, writer, and illustrator Laura Carney about her new book, "My Father's List - How Living My Dad's Dreams Set Me Free."  ABOUT THE BOOK: On the cusp of middle age, a newlywed journalist discovers and finishes the bucket list of her late, free-spirited father. Fifty-four adventures in six years. That’s what 38-year-old journalist Laura Carney embarked on when she discovered her late father Mick’s bucket list. Killed in a car crash when Laura was 25, Mick seemed lost forever. "My Father’s List" is the story of how one woman—with the help of family, friends, and even strangers—found the courage to go after her own dreams after realizing those of a beloved yet mysterious man. This is a story about secrets—and the freedom we feel when we learn to trust again: in life, in love, and in a father’s lessons on how to fully live.

In this episode of the Keep Kids Alive Podcast, host Tom Everson sits down with Louis Pratt, a rising leader in traffic safety and the former National Student Leadership Council President for Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD).

Louis shares his journey from discovering SADD in a small-town high school to becoming a driving force on the national stage. He reflects on creative campaigns like transforming friendship bracelets into traffic safety tools, building the Taylor Swift–inspired Eras Toolkit, and engaging peers at the unforgettable Sasquatch Festival.

 Together, Tom and Louis dive into the power of youth voices in changing behaviors, the importance of personal “whys” behind safe driving, and the future of traffic safety on college campuses and beyond. With passion, humor, and vision, Louis shows how young leaders are reshaping how we talk about safety, and why it matters.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about creativity, leadership, and being the change you wish to see.
