No. 030 — Tuck Johnston
Since moving to Arkansas there have been a handful of people I’ve met who have served a certain role in my life — that of being blatantly honest and straightforward with me no matter what the question or conversation. Tuck Johnston is one of those people, and his heart and mind have been of incalculable value to me. If you don’t have someone around you who you know with certainty will tell you what’s true, not merely what you want to hear, then you need to find someone who will.
Knowing Tuck, I’ve known for a while that he would be a fantastic person to record a podcast with, though the timing of things would certainly be tricky. Tuck has been through a lot in his life, much even in the last two years alone. Frankly, if I’d been totally in control of when I recorded and with whom, I’m sure more than a few of these conversations would have turned out very different than they did. It just so happened however that when Tuck came over to my place some weeks ago to catch up, we would learn that the time had indeed arrived for him to be on the podcast. So we picked a day, and the countdown began.
I was blessed by the conversation he and I shared. We talked about a lot, and yet only scratched the surface of any given topic. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to this episode of the podcast, and keep an open mind while doing so. Remember: this is only the start of the conversation.
