EP 64 - 'Life within a Life' with Savannah Turner

05/23/23 • 39 min

In this episode I got to sit down with Savannah Turner from Madison, MS and an upcoming senior at Mississippi State University. I've hired Savannah for the summer (hopefully she'll stay with me during her season year) and thrown a ton of things at her, but here we are! We started out by talking about where she's from and how we met. We talked about her job with me throughout this summer and all the things she has learned even in the first week. We also talked about playing soccer since she was a kid and playing at the collegiate level. She played at Holmes Community College for a year and a half then transferred to Mississippi State to just be a student. She told me about being a student at a SEC school and the difficulties people face throughout the semesters. We talked about being transferees, and some of the things we had to learn and adapt to during that time period. She told me about some of her connections she made through junior college, and we talked about the connections she is looking forward to making. She told me about her thoughts on the first week of work with LB, and what she is looking forward to this summer. And of course, we wrapped up with some advice.
I'm so thankful for the friendship I've developed with Savannah, and I'm so excited for all the incredible things she is going to do with her life.
I can't wait to see how much she grows just this summer & hope that I'm the best influence, teacher, role model, and everything else in between.

EP 63 - 'Making It Count' with Von Seibert

This #TuesdayTalkWithLB I got to jump on the phone with Mississippi State baseball player, Von Seibert. We started off with Von telling me about growing up in a small town around Mobile, AL and his life revolving around baseball. We talked about injuries as a high school senior and how mentally and physically challenging that is to overcome. Von told me about going to play baseball at Pearl River Community College in South MS. We discussed the incredible level of athletes that compete at the junior college level in the state of Mississippi. Von told me about being able to take his game to the next level during his time at Pearl River. We talked about the small town feeling of a college town, especially one like Starkville, MS and how that played a role into his commitment to Mississippi State. We touched on some of the details and insights of being a college athlete, and he told me about some of the crazy things that college athletes are required to do. Then, Von told me about his second favorite sport - duck hunting. We talked about how we originally met, and Von actually was behind me in line at a boat ramp. He told me about some of his favorite duck hunting memories that stick out, and we told some stories about the fulfillment that we feel when we are in the woods. We talked about traveling to duck hunt and experience different styles of duck hunting, and getting to share that with other people. And of course, we wrapped up with some advice & Von truly lives his life through his advice.
Can't thank him enough for taking his time between baseball games to hop on the podcast! With a great head on his shoulders, I know that we will be sharing a tree in the near future! GO DAWGS!

EP 65 - 'Watch what you dream for cause it might not be what you dream of' with Josh Wilson

This #TuesdayTalkwithLB, I got to sit down with Josh Wilson, business owner and singer songwriter. We started off talking about growing up in North Mississippi. Josh told me about growth of Desoto County from his childhood to being the big city it is now. We talked about Josh working for the fire department and also as a police officer. He told me about understanding when one door closes another door opens, and when it's time to walk away from something then that's what has to be done. We talked about being your own business owner and working for yourself. Josh told me about the multiple businesses he is operating and running from an insurance agency to welding. Then we talked about Josh picking up a guitar at 15 years old and just learning to play. He told me about being able to hear a tune and then being able to play it immediately on the guitar. We talked about traveling and playing gigs in North MS vs going to new places with new people. Josh told me about the process of songwriting, and the difficulty he faces when wanting to make sure he expresses that specific feeling through a song. We talked about being a dad, and the responsibilities that come with that. Josh said he loves a baseball field HA! And of course we wrapped up with some advice! Josh is a stellar man, husband, dad, friend and awesome artist.
