    Chief Sheryl Victorian has made a significant contribution to public safety and the perception of policing in Waco. After a full career in Houston, Dr. Victorian came to Waco to make a difference.

    In my conversation with Chief Victorian, she mentioned a retreat she attended led by Simon Sinek. Here is a link to the video of his TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA.

    Waco lost a remarkable person on May 5, 2026: Community volunteer and entrepreneur Christine A. Smith had a 3 week battle with cancer. In this episode we reprise our conversation of how she integrated into a community where she did not even know one person when she moved to Waco. Christine had a dramatic impact on the people of this community in the brief 19 she lived here. I trust you will rejoice with me in a life well lived. I know her best, we were married for 42 years.

    💬 "We moved to Waco...for the people." - Christine A. Smith
