Episode 11 features City Council Member Jennifer Staubach Gates, who chats with Grant about what it means to serve in the “first level of government,” how her strict upbringing taught her she was no different from anyone else, and the way the City Council manages to set aside its differences in times of tragedy or duress for the City.

Episode 12 – Pete Delkus

Welcome to “I DO THIS BECAUSE” – an interview series that reveals the motivations and personalities of people in Dallas who lead us. We avoid biographical questions, and we set aside hot-button issues that divide rather than unite. Instead, we dive straight into the hearts of leaders in all industries. Those who receive praise and those who deserve more.
What inspires them, what gives them courage, what promotes humility in the midst of fame. How they conquer stress, how they manage crises, and how they retain a sense of humor under pressure.
