397 Gophers, One Maintenance Man, and a Whole Lot of Stories
In this episode of Coffee with the Owl, we sit down with Shields Valley’s own maintenance manager, Mitch Marks, a true jack of all trades with stories you won’t believe.
From crawling through tunnels under the school to solving decades-old problems, Mitch shares what it actually takes to keep a school running… and it’s a lot more than just “fixing things.” Along the way, we get laughs (including a legendary gopher story), real talk about life, and a powerful look at how hard work, grit, and a few life changes can completely transform your path.
This episode is funny, honest, and full of perspective and it also marks the end of an era as we pass the mic to the next generation of Coffee with the Owl.
Trust us… you’ll want to hear this one.
