PHOENIX — This week, I sit down with Karrin Taylor Robson.

Mrs. Robson is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. Growing up in a working-class family, she worked her way into a very successful lawyer specializing in land use and development.

She was a member of the Arizona Board of Regents and a candidate for governor.

Her perspective on public service and giving to the community is inspirational. She has played a role in some of the biggest and most successful development projects in the Valley.

I hope you enjoy the conversation.
