Coffee With Jim, August 3, 2025

This morning we served up a double dose of inspiration and a healthy heapin' of thought provoking ideas provided by our guest Anthony Arno of the Route 66 podcast and innovative Route 66 scholarship initiative. Today's program was a deep dive into the changing nature of education, projects that instill a passion for learning, and ideas on how to share the American story by getting students excitied about road trips and Route 66. 

Take a listen, and share your thoughts and ideas in the comment section. 

Next week on Coffee With Jim, the weekly podcast from Jim Hinckley's America, we will visit with acclaimed Missouri based mural artist Ray Harvey to talk about public art along Route 66, and how public art fuels development of a sense of community. Invite your friends, pour a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and join us. After all, Jim Hinckley's America is a shared adventure.
