I had the immense privilege of delivering the commencement speech at Tennessee Wesleyan University, in my hometown of Athens, Tennessee. This experience was a true full-circle moment for me. During my speech, I shared ten guideposts full of life wisdom from Tennessee icons I've had the honor of interviewing over the last two decades. Who wouldn’t appreciate sage advice from Dolly Parton, Pat Summitt, and Kelsea Ballerini?
