Taz, a cadaver dog rescued and trained by Sargent, discovered Carrie’s burned body in a shallow grave near her home. Carrie’s husband, Kenneth Hardin Jr., confessed to the murder after a domestic dispute and was arrested in Louisiana following a multi-state manhunt. He pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including felony murder, and was sentenced to life without parole. Sargent and Taz have a history of assisting law enforcement nationwide in missing persons and homicide cases. STORY 2: Acworth student named a Stephen D. Lee Scholar at Mississippi State University Katherine Ullmer of Acworth was honored as a Stephen D. Lee Scholar during Mississippi State University's spring 2025 commencement.

Ullmer earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and Marketing from MSU's College of Business. STORY 3: ‘The Bluebird Guy’ Leads 13-Year Conservation Effort in West Cobb Jim Bearden, a 79-year-old retired event planner from Alabama, is affectionately known as “the Bluebird Guy” for his 13-year conservation efforts to repopulate bluebirds in the southeast. Starting with one nesting box at Green Meadows Preserve in Cobb County, Bearden has expanded the Bluebird Trail to over 30 boxes, helping over 3,000 bluebirds thrive. His work combats the species' decline caused by DDT in the 1960s and ’70s. Bearden funds much of the effort himself, including $200 monthly for mealworms, but annual fundraisers like the Marietta Wine Market event help offset costs. The trail’s success has inspired community involvement, with Bearden sharing tips like planting native plants and avoiding pesticides. His work is also shared with Cornell’s NestWatch program, ensuring a lasting impact. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Our health and the health of our soil are deeply intertwined. Modern agriculture has become heavily dependent on synthetic inputs and industrial practices that strip the land of vitality, and the farmers of agency. Many farmers no longer eat what they grow, suffer from poor health, and experience alarming rates of depression and suicide. But there's a path forward: regenerative farming not only restores soil health and increases nutrient density in food, it also revitalizes rural communities and offers economic resilience. By reconnecting with natural systems and rebuilding diversity in our soil, food, and microbiomes, we reclaim both ecological balance and human well-being. In this episode, I discuss, along with Allen Williams, Dr. Daphne Miller, and Ian Somerhalder the many facets of modern-day farming, including what we need to pay attention to and why we need to reclaim our soil. Allen Williams is a founding partner of Understanding Ag, LLC and the Soil Health Academy, and is a partner in Joyce Farms, Inc. He has consulted with more than 4,000 farmers and ranchers in the US and other countries, on operations ranging from a few acres to over 1 million acres. Allen and his partners pioneered many of the early regenerative agriculture principles and practices and now teach those to farmers globally. He is a “recovering academic,” having served 15 years on the faculty at Louisiana Tech University and Mississippi State University teaching genetics and physiology. Allen has been featured in the Carbon Nation film series, Soil Carbon Cowboys, on the Dr. Oz show, ABC Food Forecast News, and in Kiss The Ground, A Regenerative Secret, The Farmer's Footprint film series, and the Sacred Cow film series.  Dr. Daphne Miller is a practicing family physician, Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco, and Founder of the Health from the Soil Up Initiative. She is the author of two books: The Jungle Effect: Healthiest Diets from Around the World and Farmacology: Total Health from the Soil Up. A pioneer in the “Healthy Parks, Healthy People” initiative, Miller helped build linkages between our medical system and our park system and writes her patients “park prescriptions” to get outdoors. She also developed a soil learning lab for health professionals at Paicines Ranch in Hollister California. Ian Somerhalder is an American actor, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. Best known for his iconic roles on "Lost" and "The Vampire Diaries," he is co-founder of The Absorption Company (a revolutionary supplement company formulated for increased absorption) and co-owner of Brother's Bond Bourbon. His recent work includes executive producing the documentary "Common Ground" (2023), which highlights regenerative agriculture's innovative solutions to combat climate change.

On the third episode of Heavy Hitters, hosted by Clay Edwards on 103.9 FM WYAB, the spotlight was on Dr. Spencer Mills, a multifaceted entrepreneur whose diverse ventures embody the spirit of "outlaw entrepreneurship." Broadcasting live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness Studio in Mississippi and streaming across platforms like Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble, the show delved into Mills' inspiring journey, his passions, and his definition of success. The episode, aired on May 19, 2025, offered listeners an engaging conversation filled with stories of cars, veterinary medicine, documentary filmmaking, and entrepreneurial grit.   Clay Edwards opened the show by introducing Mills, a veterinarian, custom car shop owner, and documentary filmmaker whose eclectic pursuits inspired the creation of Heavy Hitters. Edwards recounted how he first met Mills while making cold calls to sell radio ads. Intrigued by Mills' reputation at Gangster Garage, a custom car shop in Gluckstadt, Edwards popped in to check it out. The two hit it off, bonding over their shared love for cars, culture, and storytelling. This chance encounter led to Mills' appearance on the show, where his dynamic personality and diverse ventures took center stage.   Mills, a 36-year-old Jackson native, shared his path to becoming a veterinarian. Growing up on the north side of Jackson and attending Jackson Academy, he initially pursued a pre-med track at Ole Miss, driven by a childhood dream of owning a Lamborghini—a goal his parents tied to becoming a doctor. However, during his junior year, Mills began working at a veterinary clinic and discovered a passion for animal medicine. The excitement of going to work each morning signaled he was on the right path. He switched gears, applied to veterinary school at Mississippi State University, and graduated with a doctorate, albeit with significant student debt and a modest starting salary.   After vet school, Mills worked under mentor Dr. Dale Wilson at Mansfield Animal Clinic, where he was thrust into responsibility early on, managing the clinic solo within months of graduating. He also launched Mills Mobile Vet, a concierge house-call service, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit. Recognizing a gap in after-hours pet care in Madison County, Mills and Wilson opened UrgiVet, an emergency veterinary clinic off Highway 51 in Madison. Now five years strong, UrgiVet has become a vital resource, drawing clients from the Delta, North Mississippi, and beyond, despite minimal advertising until recently partnering with Edwards' show for brand recognition. Mills' ventures extend far beyond veterinary medicine. At Gangster Garage, he oversees a boutique custom car and motorcycle shop that tackles unique, high-end projects, from exotic cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris to family heirlooms like a 1963 classic with just 4,000 miles. The shop specializes in detailed builds, paint correction, ceramic coating, and collaborations with local partners for powder coating, tinting, and wraps. Mills described Gangster Garage as a “southern West Coast Customs,” emphasizing quality over quantity and a willingness to handle projects others shy away from. His personal fleet, including a 700-horsepower Ford Raptor and a V8 Hummer H3, reflects his lifelong love for cars, sparked by that childhood Lamborghini dream. While he's owned a Lamborghini in the past, Mills now focuses on vehicles that bring him joy, like his Raptor, which he calls a tangible reward for his hard work.   The conversation took an unexpected turn as Mills revealed his foray into documentary filmmaking through 13th South Productions. His entry into the industry came through a connection who needed custom cars built for a movie. This led to a partnership with a seasoned filmmaker who saw Mills' potential and invited him to work on a feature film shot in Canton, Madison, and the Mississippi coast. Within three years, Mills climbed the ranks to producer—a rare feat in an industry where such roles often take decades to achieve. His documentary work includes Little Brother of War, which explores the Choctaw game of stickball, a culturally significant sport akin to NFL-level passion for the tribe. Filmed at the Choctaw Fair, the project is nearing a streaming deal with major networks. Mills is also wrapping up Seize the South, a documentary on Mississippi's medical cannabis industry, featuring interviews with patients, doctors, lawmakers, and celebrities like Cheech and Chong, Jim Belushi, Mike Tyson, Willie Nelson, and soon Ric Flair, whom Mills will interview on June 13, 2025, at Southern Sky Brands' Pearl dispensary.   Throughout the episode, Edwards and Mills explored the theme of outlaw entrepreneurship—blazing one's own path to success. Mills' ventures, from UrgiVet to Gangster Garage to filmmaking, are fueled by his passions for animals, cars, and storytelling. He emphasized the importance of networking, noting how connections opened doors to his film career and other ventures, including a forthcoming gun and ammunition business, which they didn't have time to fully discuss.   When asked to define success, Mills offered a heartfelt response: it's about doing what you love, making a living from it, and finding fulfillment in the impact you have on others. For him, success is saving a pet on the brink of death and witnessing the owner's relief, or building a custom car that brings joy to a client. It's about waking up excited to work and leaving a positive mark, whether through a saved animal or a story told on screen. Reflecting on his journey, Mills admitted to moments of realization—like seeing his Raptor in a window's reflection and remembering the struggles of vet school debt—where he acknowledges how far he's come.   For those struggling to find their spark, Mills' advice was simple yet profound: pursue what excites you. Find something that makes you eager to get up each morning, and don't be afraid to take risks or pivot from a stable but unfulfilling path. His own leap from pre-med to veterinary medicine, and later into cars and film, exemplifies this mindset.
