Episode #46 Brings Travis Adkison, an Educator, Firefighter, EMT, and ER Tech to the show to share his stories from all these different fields and how his life has blended together all of these passions for him. Travis’s story is a story of always hustling and being as he calls it an “opportunist” and saying yes to opportunities he’s sought out in life. He shares some of his experiences along the way including being on the front lines of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.  This one was fun to catch up with Travis as when he and I get together we always find ourselves having a good time! Hope you enjoy Episode #46!
