Creativity, community, and confidence—this episode of TLC: Tend Life Community shines a spotlight on the next generation of local changemakers.

We sit down with Hope & Owen from the Woodinville Teen Art Alliance, two passionate teens using art to build connection, give back, and make a real impact in their community.

From collaborative art exhibits and partnerships with local organizations to an annual coloring book project donated to groups in need, this conversation highlights how creativity can be a powerful force for good, at any age.

Owen and Hope share what it’s like creating and exhibiting art as teens, working alongside community partners, and preparing for upcoming fundraisers and opportunities to sell their own artwork. Their story is a reminder that leadership, purpose, and community involvement don’t require a title, just passion and initiative.

We round out the show with our Real Estate Roundup, where the host addresses a question, many people are asking: Is hesitation in today’s market costing you long-term wealth? Troy shares a real-life story of clients who built hundreds of thousands in equity in just five years, and why waiting on the sidelines may come at a bigger cost than you think.
