Episode Description
In this episode of Finding Certainty, Patrick Laing sits down with Henderson City Councilman Ward 2, Dan Shaw, who is currently seeking re-election in the local 2024 election cycle. Since Finding Certainty's host, Patrick Laing's, profit consulting firm, Certainty Management, is headquartered in Henderson, it's a special treat for him to have one of the only four councilmen here in the city on the show. Mr. Shaw and Patrick dive into Shaw’s significant role in the growth and development of Henderson, Nevada, one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation (the # 2 safest city in America as well). The discussion covers topics ranging from trees and parks to economic growth, as well as the importance of collaboration in politics, how working together is essential for achieving meaningful results, and why civility and partnership are crucial for the community’s future, and that of the nation as a whole. With the upcoming elections, Shaw and Laing stress the importance of educating oneself on the candidates, understanding their platforms, and getting out to vote. They discuss backbone, humility, the importance of listening, technology, and more. The episode highlights the importance of supporting the foundational principles that have shaped the country, regardless of your political affiliation, and emphasizes the need for unified, proactive, community involvement in shaping a future of which we can all be proud.
