For nearly 20 years, Tom Satkowiak helped shape the stories coming out of Tennessee Athletics, but behind the press conferences and player profiles was a personal journey most people never saw.

In this episode, Tom shares how he found his calling at a very young age, how a life-threatening liver disease reshaped his faith and career, and why he eventually stepped away from college sports to join TVA and focus on doing “the next right thing.”

Tom Satkowiak is the Senior Strategic Communicator (East Region) for TVA. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/thomas-satkowiak).
