In this episode, we sit down with Greg Sacavage, the Mayor of Kulpmont, and one of the most respected and knowledgeable advocates for the Shamokin–Mount Carmel region. Greg's story is built on grit, discipline, and service. A former standout wrestler at Bloomsburg University and an All-State linebacker, he carried a competitor's mindset into leadership roles off the field — serving as Athletic Director at Mount Carmel Area High School and now as Chairman of Central Susquehanna Opportunities. A major focus of this conversation is Mount Carmel pride — and why this small coal-region community continues to produce outsized leaders, innovators, and winners. Greg speaks passionately about the culture, toughness, and work ethic that define the area, highlighting influential figures who came from Mount Carmel and surrounding communities, including Brett Veach, Bobby Chesney, Stanley Kovaleski, and Len Eshmont. Greg explains why these success stories aren't accidents — they are the result of strong values, accountability, competitive sports, and a community that expects people to work hard, lead, and give back. He also shares why Shamokin and Mount Carmel continue to matter, how community pride fuels revitalization, and what it takes to build lasting impact in towns that shaped generations of resilient leaders. This episode is about legacy, identity, and leadership — proving that where you come from doesn't limit you; it prepares you.
