The Forgotten Birthplace of American Independence

When Americans think about the founding of the United States, most minds immediately go to Boston, Philadelphia, Lexington, and Concord. But what if one of the most important chapters of the American Revolution happened right here in North Carolina?In this episode of Tales of American Spirit, host Liz Morris welcomes Kelly Arnold from the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough to explore the remarkable role Hillsborough played in the movement toward American independence. Together they uncover the story of the Third Provincial Congress, the Regulator Movement, and the pivotal decisions made in Hillsborough during the summer of 1775 that helped lay the groundwork for a new nation.

Rick Webb on Building a Culture of Trust and Service

Rick Webb shares how his father, backed by his mother’s support, built Waco from one locomotive and eight team members into a diversified supply chain services company operating 47 short line railroads and serving 3,500+ customers across North America and Australia. He explains how an evergreen 1983 contract with a Louisiana paper mill—cancelable with 30 days’ notice—taught Waco to differentiate through daily customer service rather than assets, and how listening to customers drove pivots from railcar repair to industrial switching, terminals, logistics, and broader supply chain solutions. Webb emphasizes valuing customers and team members through tools, training, safety, and culture, including Waco University’s servant-leadership approach, praise-before-discipline mindset, and Dan Smith’s “no asshole rule,” while reflecting on tough times like near-missed payrolls and the 2008–2010 downturn.00:00 Meet Rick Webb01:00 Family Leap of Faith02:39 First Customer Forever05:46 Customer First DNA08:49 Building Team Culture11:35 Pivoting With Customers13:06 Bar Lessons on Service15:58 Surviving Tight Times17:47 Supply Chain Value Engine22:47 Terminal Expansion Hard Lesson25:56 Where Value Is Made26:48 No Plan Just Customers28:43 Waco U Culture Training31:02 Flip The Org Chart34:05 Trust Tools And Praise37:38 All In For The Future40:28 Letting Go As CEO42:25 No Asshole Rule45:25 Closing Thanks And Laughs

An American Spirit: Honor, Grief, and Resilience With Holly Higgins

Holly Higgins, a Gold Star mother, shares the story of her son Daniel, a 22-year-old U.S. Air Force explosive ordnance disposal technician killed in Afghanistan in October 2010, and explains how years of mourning led her to use storytelling—on stages, in workshops with Lt. Col. Scott Mann, and in a widely viewed TEDx talk—to help veterans, Gold Star families, first responders, and others find healing and meaning. She describes Danny’s character, her struggle to support his decision to join the military and serve as EOD, and the day her family learned of his death. Holly also recounts a powerful symbol: the American flags Danny strapped to his chest and back on missions to carry the weight of love for his family and country, and why she continues telling his stories so they endure beyond names and memorials.00:00 Meet Holly Higgins00:51 Service After Loss03:52 Ready To Share06:54 Who Danny Was11:38 Letting Him Serve16:21 Learning EOD Reality19:24 The Day Danny Died25:04 Healing Through Story29:27 Beyond Dannys Story30:50 Healing Through Stories32:07 Finding Words in Public35:45 Imposter Syndrome and Impact37:05 Tears Are Not Apologies38:53 How to Reach Holly40:30 Trauma Dumping vs Craft42:43 Danny’s Gifts and Faith47:55 Flags of Change Story48:39 The Flag Over His Heart55:12 Legacy Names and Stories58:35 Final Thanks and Call
