Ep. 86: From Empire Scottsdale GM to a run for Arizona State Senate, LD8 - Logan Walton’s wild ride

I sit down with Logan Walton, Arizona State Senate candidate and Empire Scottsdale GM, to talk about service, risk, and what happens when you actually follow that little nudge to do something different with your life. We talk about Logan started with late nights as a Scottsdale door host to a Senate run in LD8 in the state of Arizona this year. He shares how burnout, big pivots, and even online trolls (yep, he has them, too!) have all shaped the adventure he’s on now. Follow Logan for Arizona on InstagramWe get into how a single DM about a bar build-out turned into his role building culture at Empire Scottsdale, a boutique coworking space and social club, proudly located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Follow Empire Scottsdale on InstagramWe also talk about why he believes so deeply in bringing back real civic dialogue, and what he’s learned going up against WNBA-level talent on the Phoenix Mercury practice squad. If you’ve ever looked at your “stable” job and thought, “I can’t do this forever,” this conversation is your reminder that you’re one message, one ask, one brave step away from a different path.*This episode of Adventures in Adversity is sponsored by DIVINI, a honey-based sparkling kombucha tea.*Visit ⁠⁠LiveDivini⁠⁠ and use discount code *Breanne10* at checkout for a discount!
