Recorded a few weeks before the onsite start of NTDC 2026, we held this special edition Rollin’ With Roland until the driving days of the competition began during NTDC Week. Two-Time National Grand Champion Roland Bolduc sits down with New York TDC Titan Jim Kohr, who tells Roland about his retirement plans that will make 2026 his final National Championships as a competitor.

Over the course of this “players-only” conversation, Roland and Jim take us back into their careers and discuss the importance of paying it forward to everyone involved with or interested in the NTDC Program. They talk about the importance of mentorship and lending a hand to help those who are staying safe and working at their craft the best opportunity to succeed. If you are looking to get involved in the TDC program in your state or you are looking to get better as a competitor, Jim and Roland go deep and share a number of valuable insights during one of the best episodes we have released in nearly 300 episodes of this series.
