Serving Families Through Their Hardest Days | Britten Atkinson

<p>This episode truly has a little bit of everything.</p><p>Britten Atkinson grew up in Franklin, Idaho, where sports were a huge part of his life. He played basketball and spent three years as the high school quarterback. After serving nearly two years on a mission, Britton came home and made a career choice most 20-somethings probably wouldn't expect…</p><p>He became a <strong>mortician.</strong></p><p>Britten takes us behind the scenes of a profession most of us know very little about. He talks about what life as a mortician is actually like, the misconceptions that come with the job, the difficult moments, and—most importantly—<strong>why he genuinely loves what he does and the opportunity it gives him to serve families during some of the hardest days of their lives.</strong></p><p>But this episode goes much deeper than his career.</p><p>Britten opens up about becoming a dad and the incredibly difficult road he and his wife recently traveled to get their baby here safely. Their baby came early, his wife had to be life-flighted, and what should have been one of the happiest moments of their lives quickly became filled with uncertainty, fear, and a whole lot of emotion.</p><p>Through all of it, you get a pretty good picture of who Britton really is—a kind-hearted guy who loves his family, cares deeply about the people he serves, and is trying to make the most out of life.</p><p>And just when Cody and I thought we were running the show… Britten decided it was time for a <strong>hostile takeover</strong> and started interviewing US. 😂 Apparently Episode 27 became Britten Atkinson’s podcast somewhere along the way.</p><p>This one has sports, laughs, some behind-the-scenes funeral home talk, family, adversity, perspective, and plenty of moments we weren't expecting.</p><p>Britten, thank you for trusting us with your story and for being willing to sit down and have a real conversation.</p><p>Because at the end of the day…</p><p><strong>Everyone Has a Story. 🎙️</strong></p><p>Episode 27 — <strong>Britten Atkinson</strong>🎧 Everyone Has a Story PodcastHosted by Kam Spackman & Cody Traveller</p><p><br></p>
