Stephen Grant - Tales of an Appalachian Mailman

If you like hearing stories from Gen X postal workers, you have come to the right podcast. Today I talk with my second mail carrier, Stephen Grant. At the beginning of the pandemic Stephen lost his job as a strategist for a Manhattan ad agency. He decided to return to his family home in West Virginia where he took a job as a mail carrier. Stephen wrote a book about his experiences called "Mailman - My Wild Ride Delivering Mail in Appalachia and Finally Finding a Home."  We talk about rediscovering purpose and connecting with his family and neighbors. I learned a lot about the region including how to correctly pronounce Appalachia.  Mailman: https://www.stevegrantworks.com/linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/freshfacepods.evison
