Homelessness is not just a government issue. It’s a leadership issue.
And some of San Diego’s business leaders are refusing to sit on the sidelines.
SENIORS are the fastest growing group experiencing homelessness in San Diego — not because they failed, but because they simply can’t keep up economically anymore.
On this episode of Conscious Curiosity SD, I sit down with Drew Moser, CEO of Lucky Duck Foundation, to explore a radically different approach to one of San Diego’s biggest challenges using business principles and business-minded execution to make a difference.
A few powerful takeaways from this conversation:
- Stop talking and start doing.
- How business, nonprofits, churches, and community leaders are creating real-world solutions together
- Why prevention — especially for youth and seniors — may be one of the biggest keys to long-term change
- The leadership mindset shift required to move from endless discussion to meaningful action
This conversation challenged assumptions, inspired hope, and reminded me that behind every statistic is a human being, a family member, and a story.
And honestly, it’s one every business and community leader should hear.
