28 Volunteering and Helping Through Him with Rick Sebree

Episode 28

Retiring from a long and successful career can be challenging. We move from structured meaningful activities to, well, what?

We can feel bored and restless.

One solution is to volunteer at an organization serving the community and reinstate some structure and meaning into our lives.

My guest is Rick Sebree and that is what he has done since retiring.

In this conversation we focus on the Helping Through Him program and what Rick does there.

By listening in on our conversation you might be inspired to find a volunteer activity in your community.

There's a particular rhythm to life in central Kentucky, a blend of rolling hills, deep history, and vibrant community that Tom Hailey captures in his Bluegrass Region Voices and Views podcast. This isn't a travelogue or a dry history lesson. Instead, Tom sits down with the people who give this area its character-artists crafting in studio barns, community organizers planting roots for the future, and historians uncovering layers of the past. You'll hear stories from the front porches of small towns and the bustling kitchens of local eateries, getting a genuine sense of place that goes far beyond the postcard. Each episode feels like a personal introduction, whether it's spotlighting a family-run orchard you've never heard of or a cultural festival that defines a community's spirit. The conversations are meandering and authentic, often uncovering the quiet passions and unexpected projects that truly shape the region's identity. For anyone curious about the soul of Kentucky beyond the racetracks, or for locals looking to rediscover the richness in their own backyard, this podcast offers a thoughtful, human-centered audio tour. It’s about listening in on the stories that are already being told, if you just know where to find them.
