local rapport

Richard Morin shares his personal story about disability, faith in himself, and a community he is glad to call home. Growing up "Little Mexico" tough, his determination has equipped him with the confidence to bet on himself to be something more.

It looks like I'll...

Oh, and some awkward card game that makes us share stories we rather forget. Oh well.

I was able to attend the first-ever Rock Festival in Port Lavaca, TX. I share some of what this experience was like, what it meant for us locals, and talk with some on the team that made this event possible. Something Else To Note: As I wrap up this last episode of "Season One," I'm super thankful for all the support I have received this past weekend. My content isn't the most polished due to me having another full-time job, being a dad, and currently operating this podcast solo. Also - I'm ...
