I welcome Madeline Moore (Dickerson) to the crabshed and we sit down for a doozy of a podcast. We talk about our shared past, Madeline's many achievements, and what drives her to achieve in her life as a rural millennial. We go deep into her past as the youngest hooker in a group of elderly rug makers, she details her time running her own critically-acclaimed bakery, and she graciously helps me to understand hot-button topics like white male privilege and cultural appropriation. There really isn't a dull moment throughout the whole two hours. I hope you enjoy!
