State Representative Clay Mansell is entering his second year representing District 56, and I recently had the chance to meet up with Rep. Mansell during the first week of the 2025 legislative session.
We talked about what he learned during his first year and why contacting your representatives in an authentic manner could pay dividends.

For the start of 2025, brothers Robert and Phillip Chapman reformat the structure of the podcast and talk about what has influenced them to get ready for the new year.  
They discuss the impacts Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold had on their outlook at life as well as how Ted Lasso continues to inspire people to just "be" better.

Phillip Lilley, Clinton's Public Works Director

Phillip Lilley, Clinton's Public Works Director, has intentionally worked to influence the culture within the City of Clinton's Public Works Department. He talks on how building leaders internally have had a direct impact on the efficiency of the department. He shows that it's more than fixing pipes or laying asphalt. It works around trust and taking pride in your work.

Ford Hayman, Clinton's Police Chief

Ford Hayman, Clinton's longtime police chief, allowed me to visit him and ask a few questions about his department's approach to policing the Clinton community. With his focus on serving others and treating people the right way, he's proven to be a quality leader inside the Clinton Police Department. 
In this episode, we talk trends in policing, community relations, technological advancement and challenges the future holds. 
He's truly one of my favorite guys on the beat (no pun intended) and an asset to our community.

Road Trippin' with the Wife—The First Edition

For the longest time, I told my wife, Megan, that we should record one of our conversations during one of our many road trips. So, during a recent road trip to New Orleans with my wife, we did just that.
We talked about the past 17 years of marriage, about what we'll miss from the previous chapters of our attempts at being parents and what we're looking forward to in the next few chapters down the road. 
I'm hoping this is just the first edition of Words with the Wife, so enjoy!
