In the latest episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Bill Blackburn. Bill is the General Manager of Tennessee Business for Smith Turf and Irrigation (STI). 

One of the many special things about doing this podcast is it allows me the opportunity to interview professionals in the industry who I have known and respect and that have been a huge contributor to my success and has been a friend as well. Bill is an excellent example of that and was on a very short list of people that I wanted to have on. And I'm so glad he agreed to do it.

Bill discusses his career, how he got to STI, his passions in life and some of the many things that have helped him along the way. One of his biggest contributions is the development of the Lightning Bug Golf Course and the impact it has on TN Junior golf. I hope you enjoy this story and my conversation with Bill.
