The Legacy Lowdown

We talk to Andy Shatley about sports, social media, and his run for Mayor on this episode of Legacy Lowdown. As we ask him questions, he connects the dots with"another funny story" that brings him where he is today and he gives us some insight into where he is going.

Meg Sebastian tells us how she moved up in the tech world to work in DC as a top secret government contractor for security software and what made her want to pick up and move back to her old stomping grounds to create 200 tech stem jobs right here in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Conversation flows as we discuss what it's like as a woman head honcho in the predominately male industry, the highs and lows of her journey to DC, and why she thinks this is the perfect place to recruit tech soldiers to stand on the from lines of the world's most dangerous rising threat, cyber attack.

BONUS! She also publishes adult coloring books done by her artist cousin, Jane F. Hankins. Take a look here!

Dr. Don Howard's episode has highs and lows. We follow his journey to becoming an intensivist. He takes us through what it's like to be in the middle of Jonesboro's Covid storm while the rest of the town seemed blissfully unaware of the extent of the travesties happening within the walls of the Covid unit. He also explains how playing music gets him through the intense nature of being an intensive care unit doctor. From the front lines of the pandemic to playing tunes downtown this is an interesting convo you don't want to miss. 

In our debut episode we visit with James Bickham. Most people know James from either his diverse resume or his boisterous presence on social media. We had a blast as he connected the dots from his early days as a school teacher and his start in referring to his time now as one of the top videographers in NEA. We discussed topics of race and even had some fun talking about how social media has played a part in putting more tools on his toolbelt as he navigated through different careers.
