 Who says you can't have it all? Not Appalachian Wireless. We know what you want. Appalachian Wireless offers the hottest smartphones and unlimited data plans, all on the region's number one network. Dozens of business leaders from across the region gathered Friday morning in Pikeville for a sore leadership breakfast, where they heard from the director of athletics at the University of Kentucky. Mitch Barnhart is really impressive with what he's done in the University of Kentucky athletics program. And to share some of his insights and leading people and putting teams together was just incredible. I want to make sure that we're understanding that the next generation, other ones are actually counting on to be leaders. And the only way you have them be great leaders is if we lead them the right way. Barnhart, who is in his 17th year as the athletics director, spoke briefly about his accomplishments, but he focused more on the importance of being a good role model to our youth. And they're paying attention to everything that we do. They don't miss anything. And so they will feed off everything that we give them, but it's up to us to feed them the right things. So our executive director Jared Ornette says there is often a lot of excitement and anticipation surrounding some of the athletic programs at the University of Kentucky. And he says he feels a similar excitement growing within Eastern Kentucky. And we want people to be excited about the future of this region. And we believe there's a reason to do that. We believe we're on the right side of momentum and new companies are starting with technology and the way we're getting connected. We think there's opportunity here and we need everybody to believe that. Barnhart also made another appearance at noon as the big blue caravan carrying several athletic teams and coaches made a stop to greet fans. In Pikeville, I'm Shannon Deskins, EKB News.
