  • Episode 75: Leading By Example ft. Captain Tammy Waddell
    Nov 6 2024

    Sometimes when we look back, some things are clearly obvious. In this interview, we have a conversation with Captain Tammy Waddell the Jail Administrator of the Limestone County Jail. She shares with us her path to a position of leadership, some things she’s learned along the way, some things she wished she would have known, and a few things for those in the midst of “working their way up.” It is an enjoyable and enlightening conversation with something for everyone.
