For the third year in a row, I had the chance to visit with State Representative Clay Mansell who represents Mississippi's District 56 in the heart of Central Mississippi.

We talked about how year three is truly different than years one and two. We briefly touched on a few hot button items like School Choice and PERS as well as how contacting those elected officials who represent you matters (and how you contact them matters even more!)

As always, thanks to Ty Garvey, Drew Mellon and the rest of Don Quixote's Horse for allowing their music to set the local tone for these podcasts.

Imagine being the kind of person where your natural aptitudes and curiosities are just what the Air Force Academy ordered. That just happens to be my good friend Wes Simmons...excuse me, LTC Wes Simmons.

He's a Clinton, Mississippi native who has seen the world and has (more than) taken his family along for the ride. In this final episode of 2025, Wes talked about the importance of researching all of your options and taking that leap of faith in order to experience life in a way many will never know.

There's really no one like Jake Wimberly around. He's got a great voice for radio and the best head of hair in all of Mississippi sports. He's proven that he's dedicated to working hard and to building relationships that have proven to benefit not only himself but those within his wake.

Jake Wimberly continues to push the envelope of expectations, and I'm thankful he took time out of his day to chat about how things started and what the future looks like.
