Mooch Smith (current Athletic Director at Naselle School District) joins me to re-open old wounds and finally begin to heal after years of ignoring the pain. We start by recalling what was likely the first time we met; facing-off in what came to be remembered as a controversial match of pee-wee football. We move-on to discuss the Naselle Youth Camp's impending closure and we get the inside scoop from Mooch.
We cover topics ranging from personal to political. At times it gets pretty intense but we always maintain humor and open-mindedness throughout. Along the way you might hear: what inspired Mooch to become an educator, his philosophies for coaching and for managing coaches, why community matters, what its like to raise kids in your hometown, and a bunch of stories from back in the day.
You'll also get in-depth coverage of news and current events such as: Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, the failed Red Bull stunt that ended with a plane crash, and the latest legal issues for Donald Trump.
