Podcasts by Trailblazing Tex
Trailblazing Tex, where we hear from people who have blazed their own trails – their obstacles, adversity, and perseverance. Additionally, we will learn about what our guests' interest are, how they better themselves and their communities, their hobbies and passions, and of course, favorite food in their respective cities.
I have found myself craving communication (outside of texting, social media, and Zoom). I wanted to hear people's stories and I wanted to learn from them. I now want to share those stories with you!
Also available on Youtube!
