The Podcast That Started a Movement | Load Time with Corey Walton

In this episode of the 763 Podcast, Austin, Nate, and Tayler sit down with Corey Walton for a wide-ranging conversation about union advocacy, leadership, and the reality of fighting for city letter carriers. Corey opens up about what pushed him to run for EVP, why he believes aggressive advocacy matters, and how his experience as a steward and advocate shaped his approach to representation.

The conversation also explores Corey’s origin story as a podcaster, the purpose behind From A to Arbitration, and the impact of educating smaller branches that often lack access to training. Corey reflects on the lessons learned from difficult cases, the importance of standing up to management, and why the city letter carrier must always come first. The episode takes a more personal turn as Corey shares stories about his brother Mike, childhood mischief, family, faith, and what he hopes people will say about him when he retires. It closes with a heartfelt prayer and a reminder that the work is bigger than any one person.
