From our Star Worldwide studio, we sit down with Cody Ritchie, founder of Crest Insurance. Cody’s journey is pure Arizona grit—starting at Mueller Insurance, watching it get bought out, then boldly buying it back to build Crest into a regional powerhouse across Arizona, San Diego, Wyoming, and Colorado.
We honor the life of “Uncle” Joe Caesare, a true Tucson leader and icon, and mark the sacred return of college football. Cody recalls his time with the legendary Keith Jackson, Chris laments USC’s fall from the rankings under Lincoln Riley, and we salute Lee Corso’s final GameDay broadcast.
Finally, we turn to Tucson’s challenges—missing freeways, rising crime, and homelessness—and why annexation and incorporation may be the only path forward.
A packed conversation on leadership, football, and the future of Arizona with one of our state’s greats.
