  Morgan Holen Verner quite literally grew up in the Miss America Organization. The daughter of Miss Nebraska 1988, Morgan went on to become Miss Nebraska’s Teen 2014 and Miss Nebraska 2021, competing at the historic 100th anniversary Miss America competition. But Morgan’s story may be an even better example of what happened after the crown. From becoming a Gallup-certified strengths coach and leading a women’s philanthropic organization to starting over in Pittsburgh, changing careers and even meeting her husband through a friendship formed at Miss America’s Teen, the skills and relationships she gained continue to show up in unexpected ways. Morgan joins us to talk about legacy, mentorship, knowing your strengths and why the most valuable part of competing may not be what happens onstage at all.
