Guest:
Steve Fournier, a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, has led the Burke Center for Youth in Driftwood since 2015, beginning as a volunteer before becoming Executive Director. Under his leadership, the center has expanded its capacity, modernized operations, and added transition homes to support young men aging out of foster care. He has introduced new therapy programs, improved campus facilities, and focused on diversifying funding beyond state support. Steve’s dedication continues to bring healing and hope to at-risk boys through structure, compassion, and lifelong skills.
Based in Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis invite you into their world of engaging conversations with guests who bring fresh ideas, humor, and wisdom to the table. They dive into everything from life’s absurdities to community quirks, adding their signature twist of small-town charm and bold candor.

With a healthy dose of Hill Country spirit, they explore local gossip and topics that connect us all—proving you don’t need to be famous to be extraordinary; you just need a microphone and the courage to share your voice. Every episode is a mix of laughter, insight, and connection, making this podcast one you won’t want to miss! New episodes weekly!
