Scottsdale Frame of Mind
Scottsdale Frame of Mind is an inside view into the people that make our Scottsdale community special. Our guests include some familiar names as well as everyday warriors. Hear their stories be inspired by their journeys, learn from their mistakes, listen to their perspectives on current events and issues. We aim to be fair, impartial, nonjudgmental, apolitical, and we hope, at least a bit entertaining.
