Something I’ve loved about doing this podcast is having the ability to learn more about places that I’ve heard a lot about but have never visited. Places like South County in Rhode Island, South Carolina, Dutchess County New York to name a few. But sometimes I get to speak with someone from a place I’ve literally never heard of.
Today’s conversation takes us on a trip to the mountains of south eastern West Virginia. We’re going to The Greenbrier. AFter doing some research, and having this chat, I find it so hard to believe that I’ve never heard of the Greenbrier before. This five star hotel has hosted major sporting events, hosted pre-season practices for NFL teams and has hosted families for centuries.
This episode was also a demonstration of how my phone is listening to me because right after I recorded this interview I started getting all kinds of ads for The Greenbrier in my social media. I’m not mad about it though. I think my family needs to make a trip west to check it out. It’s only about a 5 hour drive from my house.
With me today is Cam Huffman. He’s the director of public relations at The Greenbrier. Cam grew up around the Greenbrier so he holds a special sense of pride for this American treasure. Hearing him describe the beauty and history of the hotel really stuck with me. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
