The Dan Mabry Project

#53 Louisiana 5th District Congressional candidate - Matt Hasty by Dan Mabry

TJ Pittman is a Samford law student, who is currently living and working in Ruston, La where he completed his undergraduate degree at Louisiana Tech University. TJ grew up moving around the Southeastern United States with his career military family. This diverse and unique upbringing gave TJ a very disciplined, but overwhelmingly, outgoing, friendly attitude towards life. In this podcasts we talk about how TJ has continued to break stereotypes that were forced upon him. From the first person in his family to graduate college, to the first African-American man in the Gamma Psi chapter of PIKE fraternity. In the later half we discuss recent events of racial injustice with in the United States, ways that we may be able to combat these injustices. TJ and myself acknowledge that this conversation is not perfect, but it is a start. We hope that the conversations had on this podcast, will be taken into the world so that we may challenge each other to better, more loving people... of all people.

Park Johnson is a young, adventure seeking, seasonal worker; currently living in Dillion, CO helping to build Ice Castles. Parker has spent a lot of pervious summers as a river guide in Northern New Mexico where he works with a camp/ guide service. In this podcast we talk about where Parker got his love for the outdoors, why he chose to move into the heart of the Rocky Mountains, why and how he converted a snub nose school bus into a livable space, and what Parker believes his future holds.

Parker is an extremely humble, strong willed individual, I am forever grateful for his hospitality, and his friendship. I sincerely believe this will be far from the last time I see Parker Johnson, enjoy.

Alex is someone who I have been following on Instagram for about 3 years now. I discovered his art work, and the tie dye Grateful Dead bootleg shirts he was producing. After following his Instagram profile and seeing his personality a little bit, I knew he would be an excellent guest. We talk a lot about where Alex comes from, how his love for the Grateful Dead developed, what his influence to start making tees himself was, and then he breaks down he journey through Dead & Company 2019 summer tour.

Ernesto and Madison have experimented with podcasting over the past couple years, and inadvertently inspired me to start my own. We chat about their careers in the DFW area, good and bad times in college, why they started podcasting, and just swap stories throughout. I had a lot of fun hanging with these guys whom I respect dearly! I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
