604 - Adam Kinney (Who Buys a Horse at a Yard Sale?)

Adam’s name comes up a lot in Crestone. He and his family have been around for a long time, he runs a local business, currently serves on the Town Board of Trustees, is running for County Commissioner, and seems to be admired and respected by pretty much everyone. This is my favorite kind of podcast to bring you, where I’m getting to know the guest at the same time you are. Among lots of other stuff, we talk about:

* what it was like to be a quirky, sensitive kid in Texas (not great),

* who then moved suddenly to Madrid, Spain (much better);

* his complex relationship with his father and masculinity;

* the challenges of trying to help kids navigate the world as it is now;

* the experience of spending months on horseback, riding through backcountry reservation land.
