Tracy Ballard talks with Ryan about what she went through the day that Marty Ballard died Feb 6, 2023.  She had some hard conversations that I was not around for.  We need to remember that our experiece is ours alone, my wife experienced something completely different than me. Lets hear Tracy tell us a little about herself and her story.  I think there are other mothers out there that can relate.  It was exciting to have her as a guest.  Rock and Roll!     Sponsors: www.indianadonornetwork.org www.gather.app www.natlmortuaryshipping.com https://www.youtube.com/@undertakingthepodcast1667 www.undertakingthepodcast.com

NFDA 2023 Las Vegas was a Blurr.  Brian has a quick conversation with a company that has been setting up care centers for funeral homes since 1991.  As government slowly chokes all of small business between regulation and fines, this company can help us stay current with what we need to be doing in the care center to keep Uncle Sam off our back.

#547 Mountain Mornings with Jason Duvall "The David Mine Disaster"

"Hey Buddy" !!!!! Brian is bored one night and just gives Ron a call and records it.  It sure is good to hear his voice. This is what they did for so many years, they would game plan and talk about everything.  I have been going through all kinds of content and thought this was fitting to release. Enjoy the Jovial laugh of Ron King.  Rest in Peace my friend.     Sponsors: www.indianadonornetwork.org https://988lifeline.org/ https://www.piercedirect.com/ecommerce/default.aspx https://www.wilbert.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@undertakingthepodcast1667 www.garfieldrefining.com www.gather.app
