On the Wild Courage podcast, Jeremy catches up with Jared Ackley, revisiting their youth in American Falls. Despite never winning a high school football game, they fondly remember those days, creating bonds through sports, family dinners, and church. Jared’s move back to Idaho during his parents’ tumultuous divorce and their shared love of sports further tightened their friendship. Both lead divergent paths post-high school—military and academia—but maintained a lifelong connection. Through laughter and nostalgia, this episode highlights enduring friendships and the curative power of shared pasts.
