		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Shan Stout and Jonathan Frank sit down with Tennessee Tech alumnus Ricky Shelton—former Mayor of Cookeville, owner of Shelton Consulting Solutions, and founder of Trackside Food Truck Park. Ricky shares what inspired him to open the food truck park: a vision to create a vibrant, community-centered space that supports local entrepreneurs and brings people together. He also discusses his role in organizing major local events like "Slide Cookeville" and the beloved "Red, White & BOOM" Fourth of July celebration. The conversation highlights his latest initiative, the "College Town Kickoff" block party and concert in downtown Cookeville. Ricky reflects on his time at Tennessee Tech, his deep connection to the university, and key moments from his six years as mayor—including the hardships he faced and the challenges he overcame, as well as the parts of public service he loved most, like bringing people together and giving back to the community he cares deeply about.
