SCP 30 Greg Gipson Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

Good day to you all. The election episodes are rolling!! Everyone, thank you for joining me again for another episode. Today I talk to Greg Gipson. Grep is running for Alderman in ward 1. When I was connected with Greg, I was told he is a charming, polite, genuine human being, committed to helping others. One could think he was just getting talked up, but after talking to him, I found out that wasn’t the case. He has built a professional career through his work in philanthropic organizations.

Philanthropy ranks rather high for me. See, my own work in philanthropy has taught me to be a better team mate, leader, and friend. For Greg, someone who has much success in his story of helping others, his decision to run as a representative of his town is a huge benefit for the residents of ward 1 and Ocean Springs.

Greg knows what its like to manage a shoestring budget while creating an open and engaging environment so that creative ideas can emerge to get the most production out of that shoestring budget. He understands leading an organization with vision and purpose is key to a long lasting, enduring organization. Greg understands that the people involved are united to a common purpose, and that united effort is the vehicle by which the organization moves towards that vision.

That’s what Greg Gipson brings to the table in this election. I had a wonderful time chatting with Greg. I can confirm he’s a wonderful man with great ideas for the city. Everyone, please welcome, Greg Gipson

SCP 29 Matt Stebly Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Good day everyone, and welcome back to another episode! This is an election episode for the people of Ocean Springs, MS. Today I speak with a resident of Ocean Springs whom I went to school with. Matt Stebly is a local artist and business owner running for Alderman at large for Ocean Springs. He has deep ties to the art and culture in the city, as he is the great-grandson of Walter Anderson. Walter Anderson’s work has graced buildings, clothing, murals, and sculptures across the gulf coast.

Matt is a tattoo artist by trade. He infuses the Walter Anderson style into the living canvas of skin. Matt has a shop downtown—Twisted Anchor Tattoo. When you walk in you’ll notice less of a traditional tattoo shop and more of an art studio. Matt’s journey to have a tattoo shop in downtown Ocean Springs was no easy battle. He fought the line of thinking that can sometime plague the city. Old norms and grounded beliefs predicated on practical understanding from years past, not evolving to provide modern understanding.

Matt represents a change to that.

Matt is an amazing guy with an endless amount of talent. He’s well spoken, grounded, and carries a calming, yet encouraging, stoic demeanor. We had a great chat about all things Ocean Springs and I hope you all enjoy learning about Matt!

SCP 28 Ken Papania Mar 07, 2021

Show notes

Everyone welcome back to the show! Today I speak with the ward 4, sitting alderman, for Ocean Springs. Ken is a down to Earth gentleman who served more than 30 years in the United States Army. He reached the elite rank of Colonel. Ken is a native of Ocean Springs for over 40 years as well. This residency through time gives him a unique perspective on change in Ocean Springs. He’s used his experience in the Army and city government, coupled with his experience, to keep his ward running smooth and serving the citizens of Ocean Springs.

Ken is easy to talk to. I found him approachable and easy to conversate with. While speaking with him on air and off, I felt the sense that I could come to him with any problem. To reach the rank of Colonel, only confirms that feeling, for me at least. We told battle stories of our times in the service. With the cameras and recording equipment off, we also talked about our separate experiences in the special operations community. It was a good chat!

Ken and I talk about issues in his ward and the city. I’m excited he is running and I can’t wait to hear more from Ken. Everyone, please welcome my friend, Ken Papania!!

SCP 27 Summer Devrow Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

Everyone, welcome to another election episode! My guest today is mayoral candidate. Summer Devrow is woman with a history of public service. Most recently she worked in the Public Works department for the city of Ocean Springs. Before that, she was a crossing guard helping children get to and from school. Summer is a loyal, highly productive, hardworking, and principled woman. Summer came to Ocean Springs after a fishing trip. As the story goes, they came into shore from a deep-sea sport fishing trip and refueled in Ocean Springs. Just by the view of the Harbor Summer was hooked. She sold her house in Louisiana and moved down shortly thereafter. We discuss her passions for this city and the principles which help her navigate throughout the world. I’m stoked to have had the opportunity to meet Summer. She’s a great candidate for our city.

Everyone please welcome, Summer Devrow

SCP 26 Elizabeth Feder-Hosey Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to another show. My guest may surprise you. Over the previous four years, this administration leading Ocean Springs has come into a few controversies. Two stick out. The Mary C. debacle and the unity March. A voice often heard with city leaders is my guest today, Elizabeth Feder-Hosey. Elizabeth Feder-Hosey is an attorney specializing in child welfare cases. She has a tenacity for getting things right. She felt compelled to take a stand on issues relating to the Mary C. She was treated a bit unfairly, in my opinion. The woman I saw in my studio is a class act. She’s well informed, well spoken, and formidable in her ability to develop sound arguments around issues she’s passionate about. Elizabeth has some wonderful ideas about Ocean Springs and I’m confident she possesses the ability to reconcile the divide between philanthropic organizations wanting to make the arts successful in Ocean Springs, and the city. In my opinion, this is absolutely necessary. The arts in this city are part of the soul and spirit of this wonderful town. She harkens back to her graciousness for the Friends Board of Directors, past and present who have done so much for Arts and Culture in our community.

Everyone please welcome, Elizabeth Feder-Hosey

SCP 24 Kenny Holloway Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Everyone, my guest today is Kenny Holloway. Kenny is a well-rounded guy with an understanding of multiple government layers and a high acuity of property development. He is a developer after all. Kenny and I talk about his views on all things Ocean Springs. Responsible development is the low-hanging fruit. However, Kenny talks about Ocean Springs as an art and culture epicenter of the coast and the Mary C. as the art and culture epicenter for Ocean Springs. Kenny has a great perspective and a command of voice that gives me confidence in his leadership. I’m stoked he’s running and I think he’s got a humble and responsible perspective, where the citizens of Ocean Springs are the greatest benefactors. You’ll love this episode!!

Everyone please welcome, Kenny Holloway

SCP 23 Jeff Mortenson Feb 21, 2021

Show notes

Everybody welcome back to another election eppy!! Today I sit with someone I grew up down the street from; I went to high school with his boys; and I even worked with his wife at Keesler. Jeff Mortenson is a vet and continues to serve in civil service. He’s had a lifetime in the profession of serving the American people. It should be of no surprise he wishes to continue his service at the bedrock of American democracy—the local municipality. Jeff is running for Alderman in ward 5. Jeff has been living in ward 5 since I was in elementary school. He’s a great dude with a passion for responsible change in Ocean Springs. We have a great conversation and I’m certain you all will enjoy it. Everyone, please welcome, Jeff Mortenson.

SCP 22 John Tisue Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Ladies and Gents, do I have an episode for you! My good friend, John Tisue was in town and graciously gave me the opportunity to chat with him. John is an Air Traffic Controller in the Air Force. Now, this isn’t going to be an ATC conversation. Very little has to do with ATC. Rather, it’s a conversation about traveling, management, leadership, mentorship, and even a reflection on an assignment where we had vastly different experiences. Overall it’s a discussion from two buddies catching up over a few beers, while chatting over meaningful topics we both care about deeply. It’s humorous; it’s revealing; it’s a damn good time!!

Everyone, please welcome, John Tisue.

SCP 21 Robert Blackman Feb 14, 2021

Show notes

I have another episode here covering the elections in Ocean Springs. In local elections, you’re really tapping into the citizenry of the local population. As Ocean Springs is a culturally and artistically diverse city, so too are the citizens. Many of those within the city are very talented artists, themselves. Robert Blackman is one of those individuals. Robert is a musical talent who still plays—well in a non-pandemic environment. His band is called the $2 beers.

Robert is a friendly man with a friendly candor. He’s easy to sit down with. It honestly felt as though I was just catching up with an old friend, despite meeting him in person only once before. Robert is an incumbent Alderman. His ward is ward 5. Robert speaks with the tongue of passion for his ward. I’m always amazed at how simple conversations can evoke purpose out of their words. Robert feels purpose for his ward and his city in the way he speaks. It’s quite comforting.

Robert and I talk about all of the key issues in a city with unlimited potential for beauty and artistic exploration. You’re going to have a blast listening to this one.

Everyone please welcome, Robert Blackman!
