A day late & a dollar short, but that's how we're rolling 10 days out from opening day of duck season in Arkansas and 48 hours in Las Vegas last week.
But for this #TuedayTalkwithLB
I got to sit down in person with one my best friends from college, Cole Teuton.
We started off with his life story about where and how he grew up. He told me about growing up in North MS / Memphis Area and going to an all boys high school. We talked about life challenges as a young adult, and he told me some stories about taking responsibilities in college. Then we got into the good stuff.
Cole has spent the last 3 summer guiding white water rafting trips on the Ocoee River in Eastern TN. We dove deep into all the ins and outs of not only being a guide, but also surviving life on and off the river. We told stories about life lessons and new experiences. Cole has also spent the last 2 months in West Virginia guiding white water rafting trips on the Upper and Lower Gauley River.
He told me about all the good and bad of guiding that river compared to the Ocoee. He explained the training that is involved with becoming a guide, and how intense each trip down the river is. Cole told me about the incredible people and amazing places he has been able to experience so far in his life.
We wrapped up with some advice & man, I couldn't be more proud of Cole.
I'm lucky to call him my friend & have him as an influence on my life. I'm a huge supporter and fan of him, as well as he mine.
