The Silver Mind Podcast
Welcome to the Silver Mind Podcast, where we unearth priceless wisdom from our silver-haired elders.
In a generation hyper-focused on shiny new things and youthful influencers, we often neglect the troves of timeless wisdom just waiting to be mined with the right questions from those who have already walked the path before us. By unraveling the captivating stories, invaluable life lessons, and enduring insights of those who have weathered the storms of life, we'll add them to our list of mentors, profit from their hard-won perspectives, and enable ourselves to finally stop reinventing the wheel. Let's get after it!

This episode features the life story and insights of Ralph Hunsaker an Arizona-raised father of three who became all-state in no less than three high school sports before playing as the starting quarterback at University of Arizona or UofA for all four years of college. As you’ll hear, Ralph then went on to lead a sucessful career in law, which culminated in serving as chief attorney for the Cental Arizona Water Project, a landmark Congressional legislation to bring water to the Phoenix and Tuscon metro areas, enabling those regions to become what they are today. Ralph grew up in Mesa Arizona, back when it was much smaller than it is today, where he eventually met his wife Martha Jo.
This episode will be instructive for those who are attempting to balance family and a demanding athletic or professional career.
