    In Episode 16 of Breaking Bread, Stafford sits down once again with good friend, mentor, and serial entrepreneur Will Bradham. Will returns to the podcast to talk candidly about business, life, and the everyday realities of building companies in Mississippi. He currently owns and operates Right at Home, a home-care service that provides nurses and professional caregivers to families in need, Delta Maids, a statewide cleaning company, and Bradham’s Collectibles, a sports memorabilia and baseball card shop in downtown Oxford, Mississippi. This conversation feels more like two friends catching up than a formal interview, touching on lessons learned, relationships, and the value of community. Will also reflects on being the most recent guest at the Success Supper Club, an event that was a big success and continues the mission of bringing entrepreneurs together around the table.

    David Ellis aka Yawt Yawt. On any given week he might be setting traps, tracking hogs or beavers, heading into the woods under thermal scopes  all with grit, and respect for the land.. But he’s more than a trapper. He’s a man of faith who believes that what you take from the land comes with a responsibility. Which brings us to what he’s doing now: giving back. Yawt Yawt has started a food pantry in his hometown of Mathiston, Mississippi, using the influence and resources he’s gained to feed neighbors and share what he believes God has provided. Today, we talk with David “Yawt Yawt” Ellis about the wild-hog hunts, the heavy lifting, the traps and the thermal nights and about hope, community, and feeding people who need it. So grab a seat, hold your hat — and let’s get into Episode 12 of Breaking Bread.

    Episode 9: Duck Bands & Cotton Rows – A Conversation with Tucker Miller In this episode of Breaking Bread, Stafford sits down with a true Delta legend—Tucker Miller from right here in Drew, Mississippi. Tucker’s a world-renowned duck hunter and a lifelong cotton consultant with nearly 60 years of stories from the fields and flooded timber. From the art of checking cotton to the thrill of the morning hunt, Tucker’s lived it all—and he's got more duck bands than years to prove it. We talk tradition, wildlife, farming, and the kind of grit it takes to keep showing up season after season. Pull up a chair—this is Southern storytelling at its finest.
