Jason Harrison | Schools, Community Leadership, and Using Our Skills for Service

About this episode

Jason Harrison discusses the challenges of community service, family life, and his catering business.

We go deep into the intricate work of serving one’s community while also maintaining a family at home with Jason Harrison. Jason has served in multiple roles in the community, most recently becoming a member of the Alton Board of Education. We hold nothing back when discussing the hardships faced through community service, race, and having a family. And, because Jason’s business, LaMay’s Catering, catered Cory’s wedding with some of the best catfish anyone has ever tasted, we of course talked about food.
