This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to interview Gary Arndt, a nationally-acclaimed former extemp coach. While coaching several state champions and national finalists is certainly an accomplishment in itself, it’s Gary’s other exploits that make him a truly interesting interviewee. From traveling to over 130 countries to running his own successful podcast (Everything Everywhere), Gary is a truly knowledgable source of information. Below is a link to Part 1 of our interview (also found on all major streaming platforms)—this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
