Doug Campbell, a successful venture capitalist and philanthropist in Albuquerque, has made it his mission to showcase the incredible talent and achievements happening right in his own backyard. Through his "Leaders of Enchantment" podcast, Campbell aims to counter the constant negative narratives about New Mexico by highlighting the inspiring stories of local leaders. "There's a lot of cool people here doing really exciting stuff," Campbell shared. "My motivation with the 'Leaders of Enchantment' podcast is simply to highlight that—highlight what the leaders here in our state are doing, and highlight that from a career and life journey standpoint."

One of the leaders Campbell recently featured on his podcast was Bosque School’s head of school, Dr. Jessie Barrie. Dr. Barrie's innovative approach to education caught Mr. Campbell's attention, as he believes independent schools like Bosque School are crucial for driving change. "We all look at things through our own unique, biased lens. Bosque School is doing stuff that's different than, ‘legacy public education.’ That's how things change, by groups like Bosque School that aren't necessarily bound to the same constraints and are trying different things," Campbell explained.

With the "Leaders of Enchantment" podcast serving as the presenting sponsor for Bosque School's 30th-anniversary celebration, Campbell hopes to inspire the next generation of New Mexico leaders and showcase the state's true potential.
