Podcast #24 – Interview with Ashley Spivey, & Some “Survivor” Links

Inevitably either in email or when I was doing the video chats, people have asked me to name a top 3 or top 5 female contestants on this show. Basically wanting to know my favorites. Anyone who’s followed me long enough knows that I’ve always mentioned Emily O’Brien. Sharleen would most definitely be in there. But another name that has always been in my top 3 has been this week’s guest, Ashley Spivey. What’s with me and North Carolina girls? Anyway, it was great to finally talk to Ashley yesterday. For a girl that was only on one season of the show (and 4 episodes at that), we were still able to talk for almost 2 hours about pretty much everything – and I felt we could’ve gone on even longer. She’s so much more than just her appearance on Brad Womack’s second season of the “Bachelor.” We dive into quite a few things and as you’ll hear, Ashley has plenty of opinions on things, which I appreciate. She shares some stories from her season not many people know, along with where she’s at in her life now. A very fun conversation that I’m excited for you all to hear. As always, if you’d like to respond via Twitter, don’t forget to include Ashley’s twitter (@AshleySpivey) so she can see your responses. Hope you enjoy this conversation. I know I did.
