At-Risk Student Supports Coordinator, Gina Weekley, joins me in this episode to talk about how being an at-risk student herself has inspired her to be the light that the kids in her community of Waterloo, IA, need her to be. At-risk programs have changed over time and many do not offer the services that were available to Gina when she was coming up in the Waterloo area. She believes that needs to change and has set out to lead by example in that effort.

E17: Gina Weekley - Giving Back to the Community that Raised Me.

Sports have the power to teach lessons about life that cannot be learned in the classroom. Every young athlete dreams of being a professional in their respective sport, however a very small number actually get there. Pursuing a dream in sports is about a lot more than just playing professionally, it's about what you can learn along the way that could have an impact on others. How we pass on what we know is a testament to who we became on our journey. Sharing that journey is more than worth it. Tim Williams, founder of T.Will Sports, joins me in this episode to talk about how his journey through basketball has impacted him as an individual and how he uses everything that he learned to run his business today.

E16: Tim Williams - Educate Through Sport.

Is there life after soccer if soccer is life? Mounir Darbaki, founder of Shoof Productions, a sports media company out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, shares with us how soccer is still very much a part of his life even though the "dream" is over. Soccer, and sports in general, have a unique way of teaching us some of life's most difficult lessons. Athletes of all ages and levels will learn this through their own experiences and hopefully one day, share those experiences with others to help them along their way. Mounir and I talk about some of the struggles that we had and how we handled them so for those soccer players and athletes out there that are either going through your own sports struggles right now or are not sure how to handle life after sports, this one is for you!

E15: Mounir Darbaki - Life after Soccer.

"Happiness is important in a career. Work that provides vision, meaning and purpose gives value beyond a paycheck" - Nate Clayberg Work is something that will fill up a great deal of our time for the majority of our lives and if we spend too much of that time not enjoying what we do, we will spend long periods being unhappy. This affects not only our lives, but the lives of those around us. Not everyone is going to get their dream job right out of the gate, in fact, we may not even be suited for what that job is. Finding that out is critical for our long term mental and financial well-being. The more often that we are exposed to different career paths, the closer we get to identifying what we may be suited to do. Nate Clayberg offers this kind of exposure and experience in the professional word to high school students and he tells us all about it in this episode!

E14: Nate Clayberg - Pathways to Purpose.

Steph Phillips is the proud owner of Muddy Pirate Coffee Traders, a very unique coffee company based out of Cedar Falls, Iowa. They offer 100% Arabica coffee from the Caribbean but what makes them truly different is their focus on bringing the customer insight into the origin, history, and culture surrounding pirate life in the Caribbean throughout time. Coffee is a universal language that brings people together from all walks of life and that's just one of the many topics that Steph and I talk about in this episode.  We have a very deep and honest conversation about where Steph came from and how her upbringing shaped her positive mindset which ultimately lead her to break the mold of a lot of the stereotypes she faced coming up. She uses her story to inspire others that feel stuck and need to do a little mold breaking themselves. Arrgh you ready? 

E13: Steph Phillips - Breaking the Mold.

Bringing people together for a positive cause is a beautiful thing. Looking after ourselves and making the effort to improve our wellness is also a beautiful thing. Tarelle Hoskins of Waterloo, Iowa is doing both of these things through a program called Community Wellness Club. He offers fitness classes weekly at a very low cost and nutrition advice online for free so that everyone has a fair chance to work on their well-being regardless of circumstance. COVID-19 has forced him to close down the wellness center for the time being but he is still putting up at-home workout videos for people as well as nutrition tips daily on the Community Wellness Club Facebook Page. I hope you enjoy this episode, Tarelle and I approach life in a very similar way so we had a great time making it, our conversation could have gone on for hours!

E12: Tarelle Hoskins - Building a Community through Wellness.

I am Stevo, just a kid from somewhere, a somebody to somebody and a nobody to everybody else. Vision Is Greater Than Anything is a vision in itself, it is my vision. It is an idea that represents big-picture thinking. Vision is larger than any dream or goal, vision is the WHY that makes pursuing your dream or goal worthwhile. Vision is seeing the reality that you want to be yours and taking it upon yourself to move towards it every day. I believe that we all have a story worth sharing and a vision worth fighting for and if you share that belief too, this podcast is for you!
