About this listen

In this episode of Route Notes, we explore the power—and necessity—of the U-turn. What happens when leaders, communities, or even parents choose to pause, reflect, and reroute? Wes shares a personal parenting moment that sparked the episode, along with a hilarious cautionary tale involving an overconfident Eagle Scout, an underprepared hike, and a poorly chosen shortcut.

Along the way, we reflect on what it means to admit a mistake in public health and leadership without losing trust. Spoiler: Done well, it can actually strengthen it.

If you've ever barreled ahead only to realize you're off-course—this one’s for you.
