Stephen Yeargin

I was sitting next to a gentleman on the plane between Salt Lake City and Denver last week as he rambled on about hedge funds and paperwork to his business partner. I was very road weary (and perhaps a bit hungover) from the evening before. It was a business trip with two other co-workers for [...]

My head hurts from as much eye-rolling as I have done in the last few days, thanks in large part to the media circus around our gubernatorial race. One gentleman with three teeth from Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee is enjoying his stint with fame thanks in part to a segment aired on local television. He had a [...]

This morning I was quoted/pictured in The Tennessean: [...] Stephen Yeargin of Nashville has experienced that dichotomy firsthand. His 419 Facebook friends have taught him that “just because you know a lot of information about a person, doesn’t mean you know them.” From time to time, while talking with new acquaintances, Yeargin, 26, will realize [...]

The words “unseasonably __” have come to mean little so far this year, but they are being tossed around anyway. We have had two or three snowy/icy days lately that brought the city to its knees (or out to play, depending on your perspective). And today, in February, we had 60 degrees and sunny without [...]

Samantha and I spent this past Saturday at a political training event in Antioch. I will leave the formal description at that, but I can say that we were honored to hear from a current US congressman, a candidate for congress, a state house caucus chair, a state senator, a party chairman and a candidate [...]

Now that the gnashing of teeth is over at the statehouse and a sense of normalcy (read: hopelessly deadlocked) has returned to to our state government, everyone can take a deep breath and look at what happened. The Monday paper had it plainly: Rep. Jason Mumpower was widely expected to be elected Speaker of the [...]

It has been called “the most important election of our time” by both presidential campaigns and countless commentators. Whether this mantle has been earned might be up for debate, but it certainly has helped the network news improve its ratings among the core marketing demographics. The frenzy of the campaign has been an ongoing story [...]

If you were not among the more than 700,000 Tennesseans that have already participated in early voting, hop to it. Early voting ends Thursday, Oct. 30. If you are a registered voter in Tennessee, all you need to early vote is one form of government-issued identification (driver’s license). Some poll workers may be a bit [...]

I am exhausted from a long day of riding all over Nashville in “celebration” of iPhone Saturday. I have had this one on my calendar for a while because it means I got my first new gadget in quite some time. There are a few facts I learned today. iPhones are pretty nifty – Mine [...]

One of my fraternity brothers from UT Martin was featured on NBC Nightly News last night. This gives a rare glimpse into some of the struggles faced by job seekers, and how national policies put in place by the next president will have a direct effect on job creation. As you watch the video, remember [...]
