Hey Amarillo Podcast

Before streaming, downloads, and online shopping, there was Hastings.

John Marmaduke, former President and CEO of Hastings Entertainment, joins me on Hey Amarillo to talk about building a handful of struggling stores into a national retail powerhouse, navigating massive changes in the music and entertainment industries, and the surprisingly simple principles that guided his success.

We also dive into some incredible stories involving names like Sam Walton, Michael Jackson, and Brooks & Dunn.

Whether you miss browsing CDs and bookstores or just love learning how great businesses are built, you'll enjoy this conversation.

What does it look like to build a community where older adults are valued, connected, and cared for?

This week on Hey Amarillo, I talk with Kari Bachman, Senior Services Director at the City of Amarillo, Texas' Charles E. Warford Activity Center . Kari has spent her life helping people—from serving in the Peace Corps to leading camps and nonprofits across the country—and now she's helping create a model of community care right here in Amarillo.

We talk about the dignity of aging, the wisdom our elders carry, and why supporting older adults isn't just the responsibility of one organization—it's something we all do together.
