Randy Coleman never planned on a 46-year career at Wheatland Electric. He was just looking for a job out of high school!

Instead, what he found was a calling—one that took him from the warehouse floor to the line crew, through leadership roles, and into communities across Wheatland Electric’s service territory.

In this episode, Randy talks about the early days of linework, unforgettable storms, the importance of safety, and the people who made the job matter. It’s an honest, down-to-earth conversation about work ethic, service, and why the cooperative family means so much!

While they visited some incredible landmarks, the moments that stood out most were with the the people they met along the way, including peers from across Kansas and even Hawaii!

In this episode, Kamryn and Sophia share what it was like to meet others who share a passion for leadership and service, and how these new friendships have given them a deeper appreciation for the cooperative spirit that brought them all together.

Tune in to hear their favorite memories, share a few laughs, and hear some heartfelt insights into why Youth Tour is more than just a destination—it's an unforgettable journey!
