I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. We have Sammy Gonzalez and Greg Brinkley in the studio with us today. Welcome, guys. Thank you for having us. This is going to be a lot of fun. Yeah, I&#8217;m excited. So, I know you guys through our kind of nonprofit partnership that Lifestyle Frisco has with Vogel Alcove. And, um, that&#8217;s how I first got to know you, but then I, you know, we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re Instagram friends and I see some of the things you guys are doing there and notice the sports tie-ins. And so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to do today. We&#8217;re going to talk about, about that and where you guys sit on some things in sports lately. So, I guess let&#8217;s get started. I love it. Awesome. Well, thank you so much for having us on. It&#8217;s, uh, you know, how many episodes now? Three years now, so- Yeah, I mean, this will probably be in the 115, 120 range, this episode. I don&#8217;t even know. I don&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t have it labeled yet, but yeah. I mean, it&#8217;s not a baby anymore. I feel like, but like it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s getting, it&#8217;s getting better and better. So first of all, um, I want to know kind of your own sports backgrounds, because I don&#8217;t know that, yet. I know you like sports, but I don&#8217;t know if you played sports as kids and what you did and what you were into, or if you still play something now. So, maybe Sammy give us, uh, give us an update. Sure. So yeah, growing up in South Texas, um, kind of small town, I had the opportunity to do everything. So I played football, basketball, baseball track all the way up through high school. I was one of the few people that was actually able to do that big school, but you know, a lot of opportunity. Um, so always was just a huge fan of doing anything outside. Um, I was the kid that could not sit still inside. So being outside and kind of growing up in the country was great. Um, but just had a huge affinity for team sports, especially I, I really enjoyed the camaraderie. I really enjoyed know helping other people out as well. I excelled at, at, you know, uh, I think it was football and track actually. I threw discus and shotput, um, but I loved baseball. I loved basketball. I mean, even to this day, like just picking up a basketball or walking by a, uh, uh, a shoe store, you know, if I see a new pair of shoes, like, oh, I wanna play basketball. Like this just happens all the time. Uh, I have, uh, gosh, it&#8217;s been years since our, uh, we had the Frisco Throwbacks was our, a team name that we played here and, and we have some plenty of stories about playing some really good teams when we were not as good. Um, but we haven&#8217;t played in a while most recently about a year ago, picked up mountain biking, which, um, you know, it can be a pretty solitary experience unless you have a crew. And, uh, we&#8217;re just fortunate. We have about seven different guys that we ride with pretty consistently, almost on a weekend, a weekly weekend basis. And, uh, the sport of mountain biking has been really interesting. And there&#8217;s a ton of great trails, man. Yeah. You, The biking bug, when everybody realized let&#8217;s, let&#8217;s do something else right now. Cause we couldn&#8217;t do all the things we were used to doing all the organized sports or watching sports. There was nothing to do for a while. So we did that too. We got more into biking, just more like family recreational stuff. Um, okay. So you mentioned South Texas. What, what were your teams? So I grew up with all things, Houston. I actually- I was afraid of that. I figured you were gonna say that. Well, I, this is my take on, on sports and rooting for sports. So I grew up with Houston Astros, Houston Oilers, the San Antonio Spurs. Those were my teams. The Oilers abandoned me and then disappeared. Right. So, um, you know, it was that without a oh, a team for awhile. Did you adopt the Texans? Or are you now Cowboys? No, I moved up to Dallas and without a team. Okay. But so when I moved to Dallas, I said, you know what, I&#8217;m going to plant my flag and I&#8217;m going to root for the home team. So I did. And so the Cowboys are my team and I was always an Astros fan there. They will always be my number one, but I like to root for the home teams as well. So I started rooting for the Rangers. Now they put both teams &#8230;]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; Community. Neighborly. These words are the genesis of why two Frisco locals created the nabo app. Meaning &#8220;neighbor&#8221; in Danish, nabo is a grocery app where neighbors can help each other by picking up items at their local store and dropping them off to one another. At the store and have a few extra minutes? Check and see if there&#8217;s anything a neighbor needs. At home and need just a few items? See if anyone on nabo can help you out while they&#8217;re at the store. Listen and enjoy as we explore a little more about how nabo services our community and our local nonprofits. SHOW NOTES: [00:23] What is nabo? [02:54] How is it different? [06:51] Who can use nabo? [09:56] Launch date and what&#8217;s next for nabo LINKS &#38; RESOURCES: Nabo on Lifestyle Frisco &#124; Website &#124; Facebook: @nabodelivery  &#124; Instagram: @nabodelivery Connect with Lifestyle Frisco on:  YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Transcript Machine-generated. Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host today, Kelly Walker. And we are talking to local business owners, Jim and Charith, about nabo. We&#8217;re going to learn what that means today. So welcome to the studio, guys. How are you? Great. Thank you so much for having us here, Kelly. We really appreciate it. Well, I know a little about nabo, but I don&#8217;t know if our audience knows everything. So I want to fill them in. The basics, I guess, is that Frisco has its own food technology startup. So tell us what that means, what it&#8217;s all about. Aboslutely, Kelly. Thanks for having us here. We, we love being here at Lifestyle Frisco&#8217;s office. So well, the first thing is we are a delivery app and nabo means neighbor in Danish. So true to the word. We are all about neighbors. We are about building stronger communities, building stronger neighborhoods. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re about. Now, if you take yourself back to the start of the pandemic, one of the things that we actually saw were people going out of their way to help each other, you know, I, I personally reached out to folks who were quite early in our neighborhood and said, Hey, do you guys want something? And it was just not me. Everybody was reaching out to people at, Hey, how can we help you? Think about the pandemic. Think about the snowstorm. And these are not one-off events. We know that neighbors want to help each other, but there&#8217;s just nothing out there. When we actually looked at the market up, there are a lot of apps delivery apps, but they&#8217;re not focused towards communities. They&#8217;re all focused towards, uh, being a big economy, right? You order through the app, somebody comes and delivers at your door. They&#8217;re not transparent. The other day, in fact, I caught you a funny incident. Uh, my wife and I were talking and my wife said, Hey, uh, can you order something? That&#8217;s $5 or more from Kroger? And I said, why? She said, I want to get the bill above $35. So we don&#8217;t pay a delivery fee. And I was like, yeah, it&#8217;s crazy. You know? So, So we got talking together and we said, um, Jared, and I, we said, we need to bridge this gap. We need to bridge the gap and get something in the market. That&#8217;s for neighbors, for communities. And that&#8217;s how the Genesis of nabo began by trying to build a delivery app that can bridge neighbors who are at stores, buying something for them, themselves, and neighbors who are actually wanting something. So we&#8217;re at home needing help. Absolutely. We wanted to bridge that gap and that&#8217;s the Genesis of it. Which is such the neighborly way. Exactly. Unfortunately tend to lose that over time with, with schedules and just distance. And I don&#8217;t know, there&#8217;s something about the loss of that community neighbor feel sometimes. So I love the Genesis of this and that you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re bringing that back. Like the whole, can I borrow a cup of sugar? It&#8217;s can you grab me one at the store? Right. You know, we, we grew up with that, Hey, knock the door and say, I&#8217;m out of sugar. I need to have my cup of tea. Can I have sugar? We want to get that back. Yes. I Love it. So you mentioned fees and delivery fees, but I want to know kind other things about what makes nabo different from other types of delivery, app delivery apps that can help people out. Yeah, Absolutely. Kelly hope. So. You know what happened originally? When James first reached out to me and said, Hey buddy, let&#8217;s build a delivery app. And I was like, there&#8217;s so many out there in the market already. I don&#8217;t want to really focus on building a delivery app. Another one. Yeah. Another one. What&#8217;s the point? Then he was like, no, no, no, no, you gotta hear me out. Let&#8217;s let&#8217;s get together on a call one day and I&#8217;ll explain my concept. Uh, Jim and I go way back. We&#8217;ve known each other for a few years. Our kids play together. So we got together. We started talking and then he finally explained it to me. And then I got it. And then we quickly nailed it down to our mission to make this app more neighborly focused. So our mission is to bring neighbors together, make neighborhoods, uh, more neighborly. And that was the premise. And we then said, okay, so now how do we bridge that gap? And how do we make this successful? So we first and foremost said, okay, we cannot be charging exuberant fees, like other apps. Because that takes away the simplicity of needing just two or three things. That&#8217;s right, exactly. So if you look at some other delivery apps, they have complex fee structure. So we said, okay, &#8230;]]></description>

These words are the genesis of why two Frisco locals created the nabo app. Meaning &#8220;neighbor&#8221; in Danish, nabo is a grocery app where neighbors can help each other by picking up items at their local store and dropping them off to one another. At the store and have a few extra minutes? Check and see if there&#8217;s anything a neighbor needs. At home and need just a few items? See if anyone on nabo can help you out while they&#8217;re at the store. Listen and enjoy as we explore a little more about how nabo services our community and our local nonprofits. SHOW NOTES: [00:23] What is nabo? [02:54] How is it different? [06:51] Who can use nabo? [09:56] Launch date and what&#8217;s next for nabo LINKS &#38; RESOURCES: Nabo on Lifestyle Frisco &#124; Website &#124; Facebook: @nabodelivery  &#124; Instagram: @nabodelivery Connect with Lifestyle Frisco on:  YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Transcript Machine-generated. Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host today, Kelly Walker. And we are talking to local business owners, Jim and Charith, about nabo. We&#8217;re going to learn what that means today. So welcome to the studio, guys. How are you? Great. Thank you so much for having us here, Kelly. We really appreciate it. Well, I know a little about nabo, but I don&#8217;t know if our audience knows everything. So I want to fill them in. The basics, I guess, is that Frisco has its own food technology startup. So tell us what that means, what it&#8217;s all about. Aboslutely, Kelly. Thanks for having us here. We, we love being here at Lifestyle Frisco&#8217;s office. So well, the first thing is we are a delivery app and nabo means neighbor in Danish. So true to the word. We are all about neighbors. We are about building stronger communities, building stronger neighborhoods. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re about. Now, if you take yourself back to the start of the pandemic, one of the things that we actually saw were people going out of their way to help each other, you know, I, I personally reached out to folks who were quite early in our neighborhood and said, Hey, do you guys want something? And it was just not me. Everybody was reaching out to people at, Hey, how can we help you? Think about the pandemic. Think about the snowstorm. And these are not one-off events. We know that neighbors want to help each other, but there&#8217;s just nothing out there. When we actually looked at the market up, there are a lot of apps delivery apps, but they&#8217;re not focused towards communities. They&#8217;re all focused towards, uh, being a big economy, right? You order through the app, somebody comes and delivers at your door. They&#8217;re not transparent. The other day, in fact, I caught you a funny incident. Uh, my wife and I were talking and my wife said, Hey, uh, can you order something? That&#8217;s $5 or more from Kroger? And I said, why? She said, I want to get the bill above $35. So we don&#8217;t pay a delivery fee. And I was like, yeah, it&#8217;s crazy. You know? So, So we got talking together and we said, um, Jared, and I, we said, we need to bridge this gap. We need to bridge the gap and get something in the market. That&#8217;s for neighbors, for communities. And that&#8217;s how the Genesis of nabo began by trying to build a delivery app that can bridge neighbors who are at stores, buying something for them, themselves, and neighbors who are actually wanting something. So we&#8217;re at home needing help. Absolutely. We wanted to bridge that gap and that&#8217;s the Genesis of it. Which is such the neighborly way. Exactly. Unfortunately tend to lose that over time with, with schedules and just distance. And I don&#8217;t know, there&#8217;s something about the loss of that community neighbor feel sometimes. So I love the Genesis of this and that you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re bringing that back. Like the whole, can I borrow a cup of sugar? It&#8217;s can you grab me one at the store? Right. You know, we, we grew up with that, Hey, knock the door and say, I&#8217;m out of sugar. I need to have my cup of tea. Can I have sugar? We want to get that back. Yes. I Love it. So you mentioned fees and delivery fees, but I want to know kind other things about what makes nabo different from other types of delivery, app delivery apps that can help people out. Yeah, Absolutely. Kelly hope. So. You know what happened originally? When James first reached out to me and said, Hey buddy, let&#8217;s build a delivery app. And I was like, there&#8217;s so many out there in the market already. I don&#8217;t want to really focus on building a delivery app. Another one. Yeah. Another one. What&#8217;s the point? Then he was like, no, no, no, no, you gotta hear me out.

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. Today, our guest, Chris Johnson, was part of the team that just recently earned a state championship for Frisco ISD. So, we&#8217;re excited to talk to Chris and learn about this, this journey for state championships. So, welcome to the studio, Chris. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Yeah. Thanks for coming in. I know it&#8217;s summer, officially. So, I appreciate your time of coming in here and, um, giving us a little bit about your story. So, you, um, just finished your junior year at Liberty High School, right? So, you are going to be a senior. So, um, tell us, um, just kind of in general, like what sports, what sports do you play or what sports have you played growing up versus now? I mean, growing up, I was, uh, wasn&#8217;t a really a big football guy or track guy. I really played basketball. That was really my first love. But until I got into high school, I kind of let that go. So I just stick to football and track right now. So, okay. So, you do play football. So, I mean, we&#8217;re here, we&#8217;re here &#8217;cause like you kind of came onto my radar with this track, you know, this big one you guys had, but so you also play football. What are you? What&#8217;s your football position? Uh, DB. I play corner and slot receiver. All right. I asked this random question, uh, for all my, especially my young athletes. &#8216;Cause I&#8217;m curious: what&#8217;s on your playlist when you&#8217;re working out? Oh, well I got a lot of, uh, variety. Uh, you got Lil Baby, uh, YoungBoy, three BZ, Polo G, Moneybagg Yo. You got- it&#8217;s a lot. Yeah. So, all right. We talked about your big, um, huge year that you guys just had for the state title for track. So I&#8217;m curious, especially since you&#8217;re a dual sport athlete at Liberty, what does your schedule look like? My schedule is very busy. You know, you got to balance the schoolwork and also family time with, uh, training hours after hours, because it can&#8217;t be just like, just go to practices, expect to get better. You got to put in work outside of school and stuff. So it&#8217;s very busy. Yeah. So in the fall are you- you&#8217;re football focused, right, but football, especially here is one of those things where they&#8217;ve got you- you&#8217;re still playing all year. You don&#8217;t really get an off season like some of the other school sports where you, you check out after that last game is done, you check out with football, you&#8217;re always kind of on, but then you got to immediately turn on track too. Right? So are you doing like morning workouts and afternoon workouts with school and then your own stuff outside that? Yes, because, uh, right after we won state the week after we had to come back to spring football, so we didn&#8217;t get no break off. You didn&#8217;t get any time to relax. So then what are the kinds of things that motivate you? So when you are at this high level that you guys just achieved with track, so what is it that motivates you to push yourself on that off time? Like you said, you can&#8217;t just show up to practice and get better. You gotta do your own things, right? How do you stay focused or what, what, what are the things that make you keep going? Uh, stuff that make me keep going. It&#8217;s just like seeing other guys and uh, looking up to them like professional athletes and seeing that they can&#8217;t just do one thing and be satisfied with it. They got to do multiple stuff and putting in work. So looking at the older guys and looking at them and see what they do to achieve their goals, that just make me want to motivate me and make me want to do what they do. Yeah. And now you&#8217;re now you&#8217;re the older guy, right? So now you&#8217;re going to be the one that they&#8217;re looking up to, um, who are some of the athletes that you look up to? Some of the names that we would know, like professional guys that you&#8217;ve grown up watching? Jalen Ramsey and DeSean Jackson and Usain Bolt. Oh yeah. That&#8217;s a good mix. Football track mix. Usain Bolt, man. So is he, is he the, I feel like he&#8217;s old and retired or is he still running and beating people? I think he done. Cause I seen a commercial. It looked like he was putting on- Okay. Right. Like I&#8217;m like, he&#8217;s so good for so long. Like surely he&#8217;s done, but sometimes you never know, especially if like you&#8217;ve, fine-tuned, you know, your body and like you can keep going longer. So I wasn&#8217;t sure, but yeah, he&#8217;s, he&#8217;s one of those fun ones to watch. So we have this summer is, um, Olympics. So are you a guy that watches like track and field in the Olympics?

I know it&#8217;s summer, officially. So, I appreciate your time of coming in here and, um, giving us a little bit about your story. So, you, um, just finished your junior year at Liberty High School, right? So, you are going to be a senior. So, um, tell us, um, just kind of in general, like what sports, what sports do you play or what sports have you played growing up versus now? I mean, growing up, I was, uh, wasn&#8217;t a really a big football guy or track guy. I really played basketball. That was really my first love. But until I got into high school, I kind of let that go. So I just stick to football and track right now. So, okay. So, you do play football. So, I mean, we&#8217;re here, we&#8217;re here &#8217;cause like you kind of came onto my radar with this track, you know, this big one you guys had, but so you also play football. What are you? What&#8217;s your football position? Uh, DB. I play corner and slot receiver. All right. I asked this random question, uh, for all my, especially my young athletes. &#8216;Cause I&#8217;m curious: what&#8217;s on your playlist when you&#8217;re working out? Oh, well I got a lot of, uh, variety. Uh, you got Lil Baby, uh, YoungBoy, three BZ, Polo G, Moneybagg Yo. You got- it&#8217;s a lot. Yeah. So, all right. We talked about your big, um, huge year that you guys just had for the state title for track. So I&#8217;m curious, especially since you&#8217;re a dual sport athlete at Liberty, what does your schedule look like? My schedule is very busy. You know, you got to balance the schoolwork and also family time with, uh, training hours after hours, because it can&#8217;t be just like, just go to practices, expect to get better. You got to put in work outside of school and stuff. So it&#8217;s very busy. Yeah. So in the fall are you- you&#8217;re football focused, right, but football, especially here is one of those things where they&#8217;ve got you- you&#8217;re still playing all year. You don&#8217;t really get an off season like some of the other school sports where you, you check out after that last game is done, you check out with football, you&#8217;re always kind of on, but then you got to immediately turn on track too. Right? So are you doing like morning workouts and afternoon workouts with school and then your own stuff outside that? Yes, because, uh, right after we won state the week after we had to come back to spring football, so we didn&#8217;t get no break off. You didn&#8217;t get any time to relax. So then what are the kinds of things that motivate you? So when you are at this high level that you guys just achieved with track, so what is]]></itunes:summary>

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. Today, we have Clint Dolezel with us with the Frisco Fighters. So you&#8217;ve probably heard them on the radio and some announcements that they are coming to town like I have and you&#8217;re probably curious. So today we&#8217;re going to, we&#8217;re going to solve that and learn what&#8217;s going on with the Frisco Fighters, who they are, where they are and how we can go check them out. So, welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro, Clint. Well, thank you. That&#8217;s an awesome name for the show, by the way. That&#8217;s a, that&#8217;s a good one. That&#8217;s good. Thank you. Thank you. Well, with all the, with all the hustle in sports in this town and all the pro sports in this town, I wanted to combine the two and it&#8217;s been a really fun couple of years. Um, we&#8217;re in Year 3 of talking to youth athletes, high school athletes, college pro athletes and coaches like you and kind of learning some more journeys and learning some new sports that we don&#8217;t always hear about. So, yeah, I&#8217;m excited to hear from you, but I want to start with your background before we jump into what the Fighters are, tell me about your sports story. It&#8217;s a long one. Well, I played arena football for 13 years. Uh, actually finished my career in Dallas. Uh, we were the Dallas Desperados. I played my last three years there. It was &#8217;06, &#8217;07, &#8217;08. The league shut down. I was in year 13 and, um, the whole league shut down. So I jumped right into coaching and, um, coached some arena football. Coached may have two. So my 13th season of coaching as well. So 26 years I&#8217;ve been in arena football or indoor football, which is the IFL, which is a little bit different than arena football, but pretty much all similar. So it&#8217;s all about indoors and, uh, I love it. I&#8217;m institutionalized now. We play indoors. There&#8217;s no, you don&#8217;t have to worry about the rain like we have today. It&#8217;s great that you get the air AC pumped up to about 72 and, uh, it&#8217;s a fun game. Yeah. Those variables, are always a factor which probably helps not only for you, um, as a, as a coach, but fans. You know, that&#8217;s a big draw too. Um, I mean, we&#8217;ve seen in this market, people like the Rangers completely rebuild and, you know, redefine their fan experience because of our weather here in town. So having an indoor facility is a big, big deal. Oh, it&#8217;s huge. Uh, there&#8217;s no question about it. We, you know, we, we, we play at a Comerica Center, which is, I guess, used to be called maybe the Pepsi Center or- Well, no, it was a Dr. Pepper Center. So yeah, so, I mean, I&#8217;ve lived here 10 years and I still call it, I call it Comerica. I might be saying it wrong. I don&#8217;t know. I think of it as the, uh, Texas Legends, Dallas, and now your home, um, all this little multi-use arena right there off the tollway and it&#8217;s neighbors with, you know, our RoughRiders. So we have this cool pocket of all these sports happening. No, I love it. I think it&#8217;s going to be a great atmosphere if we can unpack that thing out and have a rowdy crowd. I mean, what a great home field advantage to be playing in there. Yeah. My favorite is on those, those cool nights when we go to watch the Legends and then if you&#8217;re up in the club and you can look over the back window and see the Stars practicing on the ice, and then you can go watch Jaylee basketball. It&#8217;s like, this is fantastic. So yeah, it&#8217;s a cool little arena. Um, very, very cool to have that here in Frisco. All right. So you mentioned your time as a player. So you&#8217;ve had, you were 13 seasons in as a player. Uh, this is your 13th as a coach. So why indoor football? Like what drew you in for so long? Well, that&#8217;s a pretty good story too in itself. Um, I, um, after college I was, uh, predicted to go anywhere the third six rounds, uh, for the NFL. Um, some quarterbacks fail. I ended up falling back and wasn&#8217;t drafted and was ended up being a free agent, uh, with Cleveland Browns. That was probably the worst place I could have went. Um, my agent did not do me a solid on that one, just for the simple fact that they already had a couple of veteran quarterbacks. Their third string was the starting, uh, starting punter. So I wasn&#8217;t going to beat him out. So it was just a bad situation. Ended up coming back and I was about to get married. And I ran into Michael Trigg &#8211; who was, um, he&#8217;s alumni &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m great. Well, like I said, I&#8217;m excited to have you on, so this is your first time officially here on Hustle &#38; Pro. Um, I have interviewed you before, actually, for a few years, kind of going back to the very beginning. Um, you, you won&#8217;t remember, but it was one of your first days after you signed with the first team and you were in the clubhouse back when, when people like me could walk around the halls and ask you guys questions. And so, um, I have been following your career for a couple of years now. So, it&#8217;s great to finally have you on here. And speaking of that, so we&#8217;re all kind of watching you grow up through this system, obviously, um, you know, you signed in 2016 and so you&#8217;re several years in. I just kind of want to hear it from your point of view. Like, what do you feel like the areas of your own growth have been since you got here? Yeah. No, that&#8217;s fair. It&#8217;s it has been a long time. Uh, like you said, 2016 was when I first signed. So we&#8217;re on technically Year 5, but pretty much Year 6 &#8217;cause I had a half-year. Yeah. A lot, a lot has changed. I&#8217;ve definitely matured. Not only in the way I play, but also just as a person naturally. When you&#8217;re 16, you&#8217;re not as mature as a 21-year-old and you have to learn how to grow up pretty fast. But I feel like my game has matured a lot as well and in a way where I&#8217;m not chasing the ball as much,.and I&#8217;m finding better pockets and not- understanding when to exert more energy and just playing as a, as an older, more mature player. Yeah, absolutely. It makes sense. Um, as you come back from your hip injury, that was fall of 2020, right. Um, so now when we talk, it&#8217;s almost summer of &#8217;21. So I&#8217;m curious. When you, um, as you approach like training, for example, each week, do you approach that with the goal right now of earning more minutes for each game? And then also when you&#8217;re getting into the game scenarios, are you- because you&#8217;re coming back- are you approaching games with the feeling that like you have to make those minutes count more than when you&#8217;re a starter because you&#8217;re trying to earn more of them? Yeah, I mean, that&#8217;s a great question. For me right now. I&#8217;m going into training every week. I think I&#8217;m at a point now where it&#8217;s been over two months. Actually, not over two months, about two months since I had my last scar tissue break and I&#8217;ve been feeling really good medically and been coming in games and making an impact and making a difference. So for me right now, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s- I&#8217;m feeling fit. Um, my numbers are good and training and even in the games, GPS numbers and whatnot. But I&#8217;ve also not played 90 minutes since 2019, which is a long time. So I understand getting eased back into things after two major surgeries, not really getting many minutes last year, but I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m fighting to, to be able to get more minutes, like you said, and start. And coming into games, it&#8217;s been a little bit different this year for me, because I know in the first, at least for the first, what are we six games in so far, I knew I was going to be coming off the bench. Um, kind of having that mindset of reading the game and figuring out what the game needs and analyzing where I think I might go in whether it&#8217;s winger or in the midfield or how, how I can improve the quality of, of the game and make an immediate impact as soon as I get on the field. Because whether it&#8217;s 15, 20 minutes, you don&#8217;t have 90 minutes to solidify yourself in the lineup and impact. So you have to kind of come in and be buzzing right away and give the game what it needs. So, it seems like when you have, um, come in and get those 15, 20 minutes in, that you&#8217;re more active. I know although you said you settled down and can see things different, but I feel like because your minutes are limited, I, and you are watching to see what the game needs, like, you are everywhere. Um, probably because you have the energy, you know, you only have 20 minutes. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s natural, like, right. It&#8217;s, it&#8217;s natural. If you&#8217;re only going to play 15, 20 minutes, that you&#8217;re going to be able to put &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. We&#8217;re looking at a piece of the Texas Legends experience that we haven&#8217;t looked at on Hustle &#38; Pro before: the spirit squad. And to help us talk about that, we have our guest, Jen Contreras in the studio. And I also have a co-host, Reese Walker in to talk with us, too. So, Jen, we&#8217;re going to talk about your role, of course, as leading the way for the dance teams and different companies that you work for. But I want to know your story yourself as a dancer. Like what is your dancing background? Okay. Um, well thank you for having me. Um, I grew up dancing. I grew up in Duncanville, south of Dallas. Um, and I just grew up in the studio, trained my whole life. Um, and then I went on to be on a dance team outside of my studio and outside of drill team, um, throughout high school. And then I was also on the drill team. So I did both, two teams. Um, I was junior Lieutenant, uh, my drill team. I was captain, I went on to Navarro junior college when we had a dance team before the cheerleaders got, so big Is what the blew up as cheer for the last several years Before, before the cheer squad got so big Monica Aldama coached both. So she was my coach as well. Wow. Um, her experience was in cheer, so they kind of got more of the attention. Um, and then they started winning big. And so they dismantled the dancers. Eventually it was strange. It was sad, but, oh, well I think they, I don&#8217;t know if they wanted to really hire a second coach and her direction and, you know, that was her main focus with, you know, I can see that they were working for them. Right. Absolutely. Um, so I did that for two years and then I went to Stephen F. Austin. I was on the POM squad there for two years and then I finished there and then I came back home and started working in the Dallas powerhouse. Um, it was off of Inwood down in Dallas. Um, Shella Sattler was the director. She was the owner of powerhouse and she was the director of the Dallas Mavericks. Um, so I worked there and then tried out and became Dallas Maverick dancer. So did that for a couple of years, um, continued to teach at the studio, um, worked with all the surrounding high schools, different things like that. Um, and then decided, it was time to hang up my dancing shoes as far as performing and decided to assist her. So I assisted her in rehearsals, not necessarily games because I taught in the evenings and on the weekends. Um, so in rehearsals I would help her run. So you stopped performing. So like what age, what stage or age in your life you don&#8217;t have to. 35. Okay. Is when you were kind of done being like onstage. Yeah, I missed it, but you know, it was time. Yeah. Those girls were hungry or they wanted to stay in shape than I did at the time. It does seem a little bit, You know, especially when you&#8217;re at the level, like dancing for the Mavs, like not cutthroat, but I mean, you have to desire to be that, you know, every day in and out, right. Oh, absolutely. And after I, after I finished and then I had my son shortly after, I remember eating like two cheeseburgers a day and not feel guilty about it because I hadn&#8217;t had a cheeseburger four years. Yeah. You had to be careful all that time. Right. Um, so then that brings us to now. So the last six or so years, have you been working with the Texas Legends? I&#8217;ve been with them. I can&#8217;t even think what&#8217;s the first year in existence. 2011. Well, they&#8217;ve been in existence. Yeah. 10. They had their 10 year anniversary. Oh gosh. This 20, 21 everything&#8217;s running together. So I think maybe we&#8217;re in 11th year now. So then this is my 10th year. Oh, so you haven&#8217;t been there all this time? I was only, I was not there the first year. Okay. So I&#8217;ve been there with Malcolm the whole time. Okay, awesome. See, I was way off then. Okay. So what is, what is your, what is your role? I mean, you don&#8217;t just work for the Texas Legends you work at next step also. So, but what is your role then through the Texas Legends? Next step Is the main sponsor for the dancers, um, or the spirit squad. And they&#8217;re kind of like our host home. So we train through next step. They, they come, everything runs through next step for the most part. Um, so I was teaching for next step first, my, my best friend and the owner of next step, Michelle Stafford, we taught together at powerhouse for years. She branched out left and brought next &#8230;]]></description>

I can&#8217;t even think what&#8217;s the first year in existence. 2011. Well, they&#8217;ve been in existence. Yeah. 10. They had their 10 year anniversary. Oh gosh. This 20, 21 everything&#8217;s running together. So I think maybe we&#8217;re in 11th year now. So then this is my 10th year. Oh, so you haven&#8217;t been there all this time? I was only, I was not there the first year. Okay. So I&#8217;ve been there with Malcolm the whole time. Okay, awesome. See, I was way off then. Okay. So what is, what is your, what is your role? I mean, you don&#8217;t just work for the Texas Legends you work at next step also. So, but what is your role then through the Texas Legends? Next step Is the main sponsor for the dancers, um, or the spirit squad. And they&#8217;re kind of like our host home. So we train through next step. They, they come, everything runs through next step for the most part. Um, so I was teaching for next step first, my, my best friend and the owner of next step, Michelle Stafford, we taught together at powerhouse for years. She branched out left and brought next &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. We&#8217;re looking at a piece of the Texas Legends experience that we haven&#8217;t looked at on Hustle &#38; Pro before: the spirit squad. And to help us talk about that, we have our guest, Jen Contreras in the studio. And I also have a co-host, Reese Walker in to talk with us, too. So, Jen, we&#8217;re going to talk about your role, of course, as leading the way for the dance teams and different companies that you work for. But I want to know your story yourself as a dancer. Like what is your dancing background? Okay. Um, well thank you for having me. Um, I grew up dancing. I grew up in Duncanville, south of Dallas. Um, and I just grew up in the studio, trained my whole life. Um, and then I went on to be on a dance team outside of my studio and outside of drill team, um, throughout high school. And then I was also on the drill team. So I did both, two teams. Um, I was junior Lieutenant, uh, my drill team. I was captain, I went on to Navarro junior college when we had a dance team before the cheerleaders got, so big Is what the blew up as cheer for the last several years Before, before the cheer squad got so big Monica Aldama coached both. So she was my coach as well. Wow. Um, her experience was in cheer, so they kind of got more of the attention. Um, and then they started winning big. And so they dismantled the dancers. Eventually it was strange. It was sad, but, oh, well I think they, I don&#8217;t know if they wanted to really hire a second coach and her direction and, you know, that was her main focus with, you know, I can see that they were working for them. Right. Absolutely. Um, so I did that for two years and then I went to Stephen F. Austin. I was on the POM squad there for two years and then I finished there and then I came back home and started working in the Dallas powerhouse. Um, it was off of Inwood down in Dallas. Um, Shella Sattler was the director. She was the owner of powerhouse and she was the director of the Dallas Mavericks. Um, so I worked there and then tried out and became Dallas Maverick dancer. So did that for a couple of years, um, continued to teach at the studio, um, worked with all the surrounding high schools, different things like that. Um, and then decided, it was time to hang up my dancing shoes as far as performing and decided to assist her. So I assisted her in rehearsals, not necessarily games because I taught in the evenings and on the weekends. Um, so in rehearsals I would help her run. So you stopped performing. So like what age, what stage or age in your life you don&#8217;t have to. 35. Okay. Is when you were kind of done being like onstage. Yeah, I missed it, but you know, it was time. Yeah. Those girls were hungry or they wanted to stay in shape than I did at the time. It does seem a little bit, You know, especially when you&#8217;re at the level, like dancing for the Mavs, like not cutthroat, but I mean, you have to desire to ]]></itunes:summary>

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. We&#8217;re celebrating International Dance Day as we record this. And, y&#8217;all, we have a dancer with us. Welcome, Hannah. Hi, thank you for having us. Yeah, I&#8217;m glad to have you. And as we learn your story, we&#8217;re also going to chat with Holly Nieman. Uh, so also welcome, Holly. Hi, thank you. Okay, so Hannah, you&#8217;re the dancer, and I know you&#8217;ve been dancing a long time, pretty much your whole life. So, tell me a little about that and like, what are your, your styles that your strongest or your favorite styles? Yeah, I started when I was two. And I&#8217;ve done ballet since the beginning and occasionally I have like tap or modern class, but it was mostly always ballet. And then when I was about 11, I started training in everything. So like, jazz hip hop, modern ballet, contemporary, Broadway jazz. And I&#8217;ve been training like that for as long as I can remember. So in all of those. That&#8217;s a lot, that&#8217;s a lot of training. What does, um, how many, like how many hours a week are you working on dance? Um, it depends, but it&#8217;s typically around 20 to 25 hours a week. That&#8217;s a lot, that&#8217;s like a job, right? That&#8217;s a lot of time of the year that you&#8217;re in there working out. So one thing just as a side note, I like to know from my athletes that I talked to, um, like, what&#8217;s on your playlist? That&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been asking lately. And I&#8217;m curious, um, because you&#8217;re a younger person. You&#8217;re close to my daughter&#8217;s age and what she listens to is definitely different than what I am listening to on my like workout playlist. So what are you- when you&#8217;re dancing for enjoyment, what are you listening to? Yes. I listen to a lot of Taylor Swift. I love her music. I listened to a lot of Lewis Capaldi. Sometimes more emotional music just depending on my mood. But most of the time, it&#8217;s Taylor Swift. Yes. That&#8217;s kind of what I expected, the emotional stuff. There are definitely some really good songs out now, or, you know, the last few years that are really good, like contemporary type of dance songs. And so I was wondering if that&#8217;s kind of what you&#8217;re into. Okay. So part of why we&#8217;re talking to you today is that in 2019 you had a, a major kind of a life change. And I was curious if you can tell us. What do you want to tell us about that? Yeah, it kind of changed my life, but for the better, which seems crazy sometimes to some people, but it really just made me a better person and it was hard. It still is hard to deal with PTSD and the anxiety and stuff that comes with it. But yeah, it was definitely crazy. I&#8217;d never been injured like that before. And it was a totally different lifestyle from then. So you mentioned the PTSD, so this was not a dance injury. You know, when I first heard about your story, I assumed, you know, you probably got hurt dancing, but that&#8217;s not what happened. Yes. I was in a car accident with my brother. Okay. In a car accident. And so, um, you- I&#8217;m sure there were other diagnosis, but you dislocated your hip and your knee, is that right? Yes. I dislocated my right hip and then I dance with the nerves in my legs, so I can&#8217;t feel my knee and my calf. So yeah. I don&#8217;t have feeling in that leg. So it&#8217;s a little odd trying to dance on it sometimes. So the road back, I mean, it&#8217;s one thing to just get strong and in your knee and get back to dancing, but then you have this nerve issue also. Is that something that repairs itself over time? Are you always going to feel that difference? Um, I honestly don&#8217;t know. Maybe that&#8217;s a question for Holly. So Holly, um, you&#8217;re an athletic trainer at Children&#8217;s Health Andrews in Plano. Is that nerve issue something that you guys can do anything about or is that something she&#8217;ll adapt to and just get used to it? Uh, it&#8217;s a little bit hard to predict. Nerves do take quite a bit longer to heal and regrow, essentially, when they&#8217;ve been damaged. Uh, an ideal situation is that yes, she will get most of the sensation back in that knee. Um, but sometimes, sometimes it may not happen. So it is a little bit of a longer recovery for nerves in most cases. Oh, yeah, I bet. Talking about your recovery, how long was that recovery? And I heard that you set a goal, like a specific goal for an event. Can you tell me about that Hannah? Yeah, so I got injured at the beginning of January and I didn&#8217;t &#8230;]]></description>

Thank you for joining us today on the Frisco Podcast. Today, we&#8217;re talking to Alcyr Cohelio, the owner of Practical Fitness. We&#8217;ve had Alcyr on before, but we&#8217;re going to learn about some new things happening over at Practical Fitness. Welcome to the show, Alcyr. I&#8217;m glad to be here, Kelly. Very nice to talk to you. Yeah. So for those who, um, haven&#8217;t heard you talked to us before, tell us a little bit about what, you know, what&#8217;s Practical Fitness all about &#8217;cause it is definitely not your average, you know, gym per se. So, it&#8217;s different. So, tell us what it is. Yeah. So, yeah, we are definitely not a gym. Uh, we like to say to people that we&#8217;re basically an extension of their home. Uh, when you come to see us, it&#8217;s a 100% private experience, very professional. Uh, we have a state of the art equipment and you only need to see us once or twice a week for 30 minutes. And we are hundred customized to you. It&#8217;s not like when you go to classes and you join a boot camp. When you come to us, the focus is only on you. Every single workout is customized to you to your goals. You can even pick your music. So, uh, it&#8217;s uh, yeah, it&#8217;s a 100% a private experience. You don&#8217;t, you know, assume that when someone&#8217;s walking in that they&#8217;re going to do the same workout as the person that came in before them, or that they need this or that, the same cookie cutter experience. You are going to meet with them and tailor what they need, specifically, for them. A hundred percent. So basically I, so the experience begins with a one-hour consultation and we do offer the one-hour consultation, a hundred percent free to have a conversation with us. And we pair that with a 30-minutes session for you so that you can experience what our clients experience. And those are in separate days. So you come for a one-hour conversation. We listen to you, listen to what, you know, what you like to, uh, to achieve. And one of the things that we try to explain to people and we are able to achieve, I would say that probably 60-70% of our clients stay with us for over five years. And we do have clients that are with us since we opened our door back in Austin in 2009. We still have several, I would probably say probably 40 to 50 clients in Austin that are with us for over 10 years. And that basically the same way we like to say the same way that you brush your teeth twice a day is the same thing for exercising. Our body needs to exercise. And one of the things that we emphasize as well, the exercise different than sports. Exercise is something that you do is so your body functions at their maximum capacity, right? Several of our clients that come with us with diabetes type two, for high blood pressure, individually, they have done hip replacements, knee replacements. We are able to substantially improve their, the, you know, their, their lives. Uh, several, I would say the most of our clients that come with us with high blood pressure, they quit the medicine. Yeah. Same thing with diabetes type two. And again, because the idea is you come to us, it&#8217;s only 30 minutes, twice a week. It is a challenging workout because exercise in order to be effective is a challenge. No one really comes more than twice a week. We have some individuals that do. But, when they do the third, uh, the third session is not as challenging as the first two, because basically it&#8217;s a high, intense, workout, low-impact, extremely safe. That&#8217;s why, you know, folks with knee replacement, hip replacement, they can, they can come to see us. So there is no momentum. There is no ballistic movement. You come, you exercise. And the days that you are resting, that&#8217;s the day that your bodies recover and results come from. The results do not come when you exercise. The results come between the sessions. And between the sessions, we like to say that, you know, they, they can live the life they love because their body is going to be in an optimum state so they can have fun. They can take care of their grandkids. They can go rowing. They can go running. They can go play soccer. They can go play golf better. All those things we are able to improve because of the 30 minute session that they come to see us once or twice a week. That&#8217;s- you know, living the life you love &#8230;]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; In this episode, we continue the conversation about youth baseball and get Nathan Bliss&#8217; input on umpiring. Is it headed for a change? Does it need to change? Will parents be able to handle a missed strike call if there&#8217;s no home plate umpire? We also discuss the parallels we see with sports and business. Those skills athletes learn as a teammate just might be the same ones they lean on as adults working on a team. (Spoiler alert — they are!) Enjoy this episode and other episodes of Hustle and Pro in our archives. Show Notes: [00:35] Umpiring &#38; Technology [07:53] Coaching as it relates to business strategy [14:02] Shifting to Little Elm [16:12] Red Raiders! Resources within this episode:  Nathan Bliss:  Twitter @Nathan_Bliss  &#124; LinkedIn Kelly Walker: Bio &#124; Instagram @kelly_walkertexas &#124;  Twitter: @kelly_walker_TX Transcript (Machine-generated): Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. We have Nathan Bliss back again for another episode. So, our previous episode, we were talking about youth baseball in Dallas, the Dallas area and parenting and tournament culture, and so much more. And we have more to get to. So let&#8217;s jump into Part 2 with Nathan Bliss. Alright. So, Nathan Bliss, we are in the middle of a discussion about youth baseball and, um, we&#8217;re continuing that on. But, what I want to ask you, we were talking about change and tournament structure and league in the last episode. And now I want to ask you about umpiring and sort of where we sit in that &#8217;cause I also feel like change is on the horizon there, maybe. So what are you seeing as a, uh, majors coach? At the 13-year level, what are you seeing out there on umpiring? Yeah, I see, um, this is a passionate topic for me cause I&#8217;m a technologist by trade. So I&#8217;m a, I&#8217;m a vice-president of sales and marketing in the software industry. You know, in my background, I have seen software&#8217;s ability and positive impact to impact a lot of different industries. And I think we see this at scale happening in baseball right now. One of my favorite companies is Rapsodo. Um, I mean you are seeing fundamental pervasive change at the, at the professional level happening with the optimization of pitching so much so that I don&#8217;t know how many professional Chicago Cubs hitters right now are hitting over 200. Like, that 10, 15, 20 years ago would have been unheard of. And, and a lot of what has happened is everything is so dialed in and so optimized in a way that software has clearly made an impact there. Well, I read about the sport just like you do. And we know that an electronic strike zone is probably at this point an inevitable outcome at the professional level. So yeah. Yeah, it&#8217;s moving, it&#8217;s been moving there for, I don&#8217;t know what five, six, seven years, like, tracking. Right. If you&#8217;ve visioned this forward, you know, I&#8217;ve talked to people at Rapsodo and other, uh, organizations, just because I have a, an interest in software and an interest in baseball. I&#8217;ve asked them if they&#8217;ve thought that this is coming to the youth level and unequivocally the answer is &#8220;absolutely.&#8221; And I would say being in the metroplex that I think it&#8217;s needed. And, and why would I say that? We have, we have difficult- and I know there are well-meaning organizations that love baseball that are passionate about the game and want to see it grow that run umpire organizations that it&#8217;s a supply-and-demand thing at some point, you know, because it&#8217;s difficult to find enough staff to be able to permeate all of the, all of the games happening in the metroplex. Yeah. So if there was a way to supplement that through technology, I think that&#8217;s an interesting idea. How much supplementing? Like what can you, what do you not have a home-plate umpire? The way that I think- is extreme, I get the calling balls and I get a strike zone. I get that. But I mean, yeah. What do you see that moving to? I think there will be a way. If somebody were to ask me to make a prediction about what that will look like in 10 years, let&#8217;s say. I think that you could have, let&#8217;s say an individual official, let&#8217;s say station behind the pitcher that has like a supplemental camera system that&#8217;s calling balls and strikes. So, if that&#8217;s happening that individual could be relayed, you know, through a camera system installed at a facility, if a pitch is a ball or a strike. And I would argue pretty accurately with the ability, the technology&#8217;s ability to determine a ball and strike, it&#8217;s going to be pretty accurate in a way that almost makes it difficult to be argued against if it is a ball or strike. But it has to be real time to relay and &#8220;Oh, you don&#8217;t want to slow anything down.&#8221; Right. So, has to be the technology has to be able to do it in real enough time where it&#8217;s like, oh, you know, just like a normal human reaction would be. That&#8217;s right. It could be faster, but to get it back, to get the information back out loud to the catcher, the pitcher, whoever how you know, that&#8217;s interesting. It&#8217;s like, how do you then relay what the technology says it was quickly enough for everybody to hear it move on to the next pitch? Right? And if you&#8217;re familiar with technology like Rapsodo, or like, uh, for example, one training tool that we use in my home is a pitchLogic baseball, which is, has sensors inside of a baseball. And we know exactly every time it&#8217;s thrown stings that give us data, spin rate, spin access, the arm angle of the thrower and the miles per hour, the ball &#8230;]]></description>

Yeah. So if there was a way to supplement that through technology, I think that&#8217;s an interesting idea. How much supplementing? Like what can you, what do you not have a home-plate umpire? The way that I think- is extreme, I get the calling balls and I get a strike zone. I get that. But I mean, yeah. What do you see that moving to? I think there will be a way. If somebody were to ask me to make a prediction about what that will look like in 10 years, let&#8217;s say. I think that you could have, let&#8217;s say an individual official, let&#8217;s say station behind the pitcher that has like a supplemental camera system that&#8217;s calling balls and strikes. So, if that&#8217;s happening that individual could be relayed, you know, through a camera system installed at a facility, if a pitch is a ball or a strike. And I would argue pretty accurately with the ability, the technology&#8217;s ability to determine a ball and strike, it&#8217;s going to be pretty accurate in a way that almost makes it difficult to be argued against if it is a ball or strike. But it has to be real time to relay and &#8220;Oh, you don&#8217;t want to slow anything down.&#8221; Right. So, has to be the technology has to be able to do it in real enough time where it&#8217;s like, oh, you know, just like a normal human reaction would be. That&#8217;s right. It could be faster, but to get it back, to get the information back out loud to the catcher, the pitcher, whoever how you know, that&#8217;s interesting. It&#8217;s like, how do you then relay what the technology says it was quickly enough for everybody to hear it move on to the next pitch? Right? And if you&#8217;re familiar with technology like Rapsodo, or like, uh, for example, one training tool that we use in my home is a pitchLogic baseball, which is, has sensors inside of a baseball. And we know exactly every time it&#8217;s thrown stings that give us data, spin rate, spin access, the arm angle of the thrower and the miles per hour, the ball &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. We have Nathan Bliss back again for another episode. So, our previous episode, we were talking about youth baseball in Dallas, the Dallas area and parenting and tournament culture, and so much more. And we have more to get to. So let&#8217;s jump into Part 2 with Nathan Bliss. Alright. So, Nathan Bliss, we are in the middle of a discussion about youth baseball and, um, we&#8217;re continuing that on. But, what I want to ask you, we were talking about change and tournament structure and league in the last episode. And now I want to ask you about umpiring and sort of where we sit in that &#8217;cause I also feel like change is on the horizon there, maybe. So what are you seeing as a, uh, majors coach? At the 13-year level, what are you seeing out there on umpiring? Yeah, I see, um, this is a passionate topic for me cause I&#8217;m a technologist by trade. So I&#8217;m a, I&#8217;m a vice-president of sales and marketing in the software industry. You know, in my background, I have seen software&#8217;s ability and positive impact to impact a lot of different industries. And I think we see this at scale happening in baseball right now. One of my favorite companies is Rapsodo. Um, I mean you are seeing fundamental pervasive change at the, at the professional level happening with the optimization of pitching so much so that I don&#8217;t know how many professional Chicago Cubs hitters right now are hitting over 200. Like, that 10, 15, 20 years ago would have been unheard of. And, and a lot of what has happened is everything is so dialed in and so optimized in a way that software has clearly made an impact there. Well, I read about the sport just like you do. And we know that an electronic strike zone is probably at this point an inevitable outcome at the professional level. So yeah. Yeah, it&#8217;s moving, it&#8217;s been moving there for, I don&#8217;t know what five, six, seven years, like, tracking. Right. If you&#8217;ve visioned this forward, you know, I&#8217;ve talked to people at Rapsodo and other, uh, organizations, just because I have a, an interest in software and an interest in baseball. I&#8217;ve asked them if they&#8217;ve thought that this is coming to the youth level and unequivocally the answer is &#8220;absolutely.&#8221; And I would say being in the metroplex that I think it&#8217;s needed. And, and why would I say that? We have, we have difficult- and I know there are well-meaning organizations that love baseball that are passionate about the game and want to see it grow that run umpire organizations that it&#8217;s a supply-and-demand thing at some point, you know, because it&#8217;s difficult to find enough staff to be able to permeate all of the, all of the games happening in the metroplex. Yeah. So if there was a way to supplement that through technology, I think that&#8217;s an interesting idea. How much supplementing? Like what can you, what do you not have a home-plate umpire?

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. On this episode, us, Texans, are going to get schooled on Australian rules football thanks to our guests, James and Terry. Welcome to the studio, guys. Thank you, Kelly. Thanks for having us. Yeah, this is fun. So, we&#8217;re Instagram friends, right? And so we&#8217;ve messaged each other. And you, obviously, realize I don&#8217;t know a thing about Australian rules football because I don&#8217;t even know how to say it correctly &#8217;cause I&#8217;ve mentioned the sport as the wrong sport, which we&#8217;ll talk about in a little while. So, I wanted to get you guys in here and teach me, you know, what, I don&#8217;t know, what I need to know. &#8216;Cause it&#8217;s fun. We have a team here in this area. So, before we talk about the North Texas Devils, I want to know about you guys, specifically. You know, what&#8217;s kind of, what&#8217;s your background in sports? And so, I guess, maybe James. Let&#8217;s start with you. Yeah. So, um, I&#8217;ve been sort of playing Australian football most of my life. Um, played at a few different clubs growing up. It&#8217;s one of those sports that, you know, in Melbourne where I&#8217;m from, everybody essentially plays Australian football from the age of about five onwards. Um, so I played it a few different clubs. Transitioned to rugby for a period of time, uh, rode for a period of time. And then, uh, ended up in Sydney with a team up there where I ended up coaching for a few years after a bit of an injury that put me out of playing. And then traveled overseas and came to the U S and found that there was a local amateur league. So I got involved here as well. Awesome. What about you Terry? So I was introduced to footy maybe three or four years ago. But me primarily growing up, I played basketball. So I played basketball in high school. That&#8217;s as far as I took it. But besides that I played in a lot of rec leagues here in Dallas. I was going to say I picked up some accent for James, but I wasn&#8217;t sure where I&#8217;m hearing you from. So you&#8217;re from here. I&#8217;m from Arkansas. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, I don&#8217;t really have an accent because- Oh, you do. Well, really? We all do. Okay. Because my, my father is from Arkansas. My mom&#8217;s from New York. So, I kind of go in between both of those, but primarily, you know, growing up, you know, there&#8217;s traditional sports, basketball, football, a little baseball, but definitely no footy, no footy. I like that: footy. That&#8217;s what that would all you guys call it. I mean, Australian rules football is kind of a mouthful, so yeah. Aussie rules or footy you can go with. Aussie rules. I like that, too. Okay. So what it&#8217;s not is American football and it&#8217;s also not rugby. Right. So I guess let&#8217;s go there. Let&#8217;s sort of tell me like the similarities for people like me who are used to American football. What are the similarities with these mainstream sports that like Americans know? And then I guess what are some of the main differences? If- that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s a lot, but I guess start there. Let&#8217;s unpack that a little bit. Um, I think that the, the most, probably the most similar thing to sports that you&#8217;ve known already in terms of American football or rugby is the ball is somewhat of a similar shape. But as you can see, it&#8217;s a little bit of a different shape. Yeah, I&#8217;m holding one now. It&#8217;s more rounded at the, you know, the ends aren&#8217;t as tapered off. More eggy. More eggy, correct. Yeah. Um, that&#8217;s about where the similarities end. And, and so when I do describe this game to people who&#8217;ve never seen it before. I actually asked people to visualize a combination of soccer with basketball. Yup. Oh. That&#8217;s the, the reaction we get. We&#8217;re on a grass field, whatever you call pitch, field, whatever. So, you&#8217;re on a field with how many players are on your- So we&#8217;ve got 18 players on each side on the field at one time. So, it&#8217;s 36 guys running around. So that&#8217;s soccer plus basketball. Exactly. And in terms of, you know, the, the reason I sort of describe it like that is because it is a 360-degree game. So there&#8217;s no onsite, no offsite, people aren&#8217;t lining up against each other as you&#8217;d have in rugby or in American football. Um, so that&#8217;s probably where that basketball similarity comes into it. So when you go to start the game, your players are mixed on each side of the field. Correct, correct. Um, and when we do start the game, the other basketball similarity is that there&#8217;s a tip-off, although we bounce the ball or throw the ball up, so it&#8217;s a little bit different, and the two tallest guys will generally jump up and then I&#8217;ll do that tip off to- get possession. Correct. Okay. And then the other &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. Today, we&#8217;re talking youth baseball from umpiring and tournaments and how we approach proper instruction and all that and more. Nathan Bliss and I are going to discuss it. So, welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro, Nathan. Thanks, Kelly for having me on, I&#8217;m really excited to be here. Yeah, I&#8217;m excited to have you,. So, tell us why you&#8217;re here. So tell me, like: what&#8217;s your baseball story? Yeah, so me, I think my baseball story is one written with just a lot of just love for the game and passion that was kind of born out of where I&#8217;m from. So I grew up in Nebraska, I think a lot of like a lot of people around the country, a lot of us got 13 channels growing up and two of them were TBS and WGN. So I grew up like a lifelong Cubs fan. Uh, you know, I&#8217;m a, I&#8217;m a middle child so always kind of riding the coattails of my older brother who was a much better athlete than myself. Um, so that&#8217;s kind of where my love began at Wrigley Field, 11 years old, Pittsburgh pirates versus Cubs game. And in April when it was 45 degrees and that, that wind was blowing off the lake and it was cold, but I got to sing &#8220;take me out to the ballgame&#8221; with Harry Carey and it just, yeah, that was just like, you know, I can close my eyes and just be there again. And it was great. So a lot of romance it&#8217;s a bit to me, with baseball. See, I love that. Like, uh, I was thinking last night, knowing we were recording, I&#8217;m driving a kid home from a practice and I hit the right station and I hear the voice of the Rangers and I hear a game and we&#8217;re just like, we just get quiet and we listen. And my kid&#8217;s only, you know, 10. And so I still like want to prompt him and be like, &#8220;did you, did you hear what he just said there?&#8221; And I&#8217;m like, &#8220;isn&#8217;t it amazing how, first of all, a voice can take you back. Right. Um, or put you in a seat.&#8221; And I said to Jack, like, &#8220;isn&#8217;t it so cool that this guy, as we&#8217;re driving down the road, he can just, his words, I can see the plays happening.&#8221; I can see the game. I can see when he talks about Joey Gallo hitting the wall and like I can see it all happening, even as specific as he talks about, like, I don&#8217;t know if that was a splitter or it was hard to tell if that was a change, like how- the way that they can communicate a baseball game on the radio, like for people like me, I love it so much. And like I could just sit and listen to even just baseball on the radio. I think to a lot of people, especially females, they probably think that sounds insane, but I love that stuff. Oh, me too. Me too. I, I, you know, Harry Caray was a fan with a microphone, uh, you know, and you know, like nostalgic voices, like Bob Eucker and Bob Costas, you know, I love watching those documentaries on the MLB Network and stuff like that. Just really harken me back to like where I first fell in love with the game. And honestly, a lot of cinema too. Like I&#8217;m a big Field of Dreams fan. I&#8217;m a huge, uh, major league fan and just, you know, the Sandlot, you know, in our game room at our, at our house, like those movie posters sort of align the walls. That and A League of Their Own for my wife, it&#8217;s her favorite movie. You know, things like that is, is really is where I started to grow in love with the game. Yeah. Yeah. I was watching the news last night and there&#8217;s a lot of no-hitter talk happening now. Right. Like it is kind of weird, but it&#8217;s funny. And the softball pitcher that just pitched the perfect game. And the caption was, you know, &#8220;in a league of their own&#8221; and I&#8217;m thinking, I mean, that&#8217;s cute, but it&#8217;s like, come on that there&#8217;s so many more things, but, um, but it was awesome. Good for her. And yeah, there&#8217;s been a lot of baseball, pure stuff happening lately that&#8217;s been fun to listen to and watch So much fun to like Mr. Rodon threw a no-hitter last night and, uh, you know, Musgrove really recently, uh, against the Rangers here. So, you know, it&#8217;s kind of the wellspring of, of that time. It feels like mid-April right now, although it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, you know, maybe not the greatest beginning of the season for the Cubs, but that&#8217;s a different story. Yeah. Well, I mean, Rangers too, when you get, when you get a single wind at a time, it&#8217;s all good celebration. Yep. Okay. &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. We&#8217;re sitting with Frisco business owners, Ashley and Sean Green today. Welcome, Ashley and Sean, how are you? Hey, doing great. How are you? I&#8217;m good. I am excited to talk to you. I&#8217;ve talked to you before, usually in your store. So, this is fun, to get to kind of tell your story to our audience and learn even more about what&#8217;s going on with you guys. So before we get into the business side, can you just tell me a little about yourselves? And I mentioned your business owners. So, tell us about you guys. Yeah, sure. Well, um, Ashley and I are both from upstate New York, Rochester, New York. You know, grew up there, uh, went to school there. And we actually started dating when we were, uh, 19 years old. And, uh- just a couple of years ago. Just a couple of years ago. And, you know, if you&#8217;ve ever been to Rochester, beautiful place in the summertime, beautiful place. The winter time, yeah, not so much. Right. So we always wanted to live somewhere warm weather and a place that had a lot of opportunity. And we, we really fell in love with the idea of moving to Texas at a young age. And, uh, we, at 23 years old, we, we packed up our Penske truck. We drove from New York to Texas and we moved like somewhat on a whim. I was going to say, were there, were there career plans in at this time that, that brought you here at all, or you kind of got here and figure the rest out? We found jobs beforehand. And so we were able to get jobs beforehand. Uh, so we weren&#8217;t just, you know, living off the streets or anything, but we, we did find jobs. And we drove down here. In fact, uh, we originally tried to buy a house and it fell through. So we were set to move and we literally had no place to live. So I drove down with a friend and, uh, we found a place. And, uh, I remember looking at places, sending pictures to Ashley saying, &#8220;Hey, uh, you know, I found a place.&#8221; And she wasn&#8217;t even here. That&#8217;s hard. Yeah. So keep in mind, we&#8217;d been married for six months and now we&#8217;re about to purchase a home that I&#8217;ve never even seen before in a state that&#8217;s 1400 miles away. That&#8217;s trust and faith that it&#8217;s all gonna work out. And now that looking back, you also know: those things aren&#8217;t permanent either. You know, I mean, sometimes getting in the wrong place at the beginning helps, you know, where you do want to be. In different, you know, section of town or different town completely or whatever, you know? So while it feels like getting into your first homes are really, really, really major, they&#8217;re not permanent, you know. And that was kind of our whole mindset on the whole move, too. Is, &#8220;Hey, what&#8217;s the worst that&#8217;s going to happen? If we get there. And we don&#8217;t like it, we move again.&#8221; But like Sean mentioned, we both had job opportunities. I had been working in senior living and I was able to transfer. So it was just, everything kind of fell into place and, and we did buy the house and it was great. And so it all, it all kind of worked out perfectly for us to settle here and eventually, you know, build a home and have a family. Yeah. Okay. So fast forward to, um, what I want to talk to you guys about: your business side of life, um, which is Clean Juice. So how did you get, how did you take that step? You mentioned you were in senior living. Like your career path was that which is, does not sound like the Clean Juice, uh, path. So how did this get into your life? Well, uh, it started, I just left my corporate job a couple of months ago, actually. Um, I was working as a senior vice president of sales for a technology company. And I had been with that company for over 11 years and really enjoyed it. But I also saw that in the business world, there was so much change, right? So much change. And, and we really desired an opportunity to like take control of our own destiny and start our own business. And we&#8217;ve always felt like we&#8217;re a great team. We compliment each other really well. And we wanted to do something that we were passionate about, which led us down to like, uh, something around health and nutrition. Yeah we&#8217;re looking at, um, businesses that we could tag team on that would also give us some flexibility because we do have kids. And as, as we were gearing up for our youngest and our kindergarten, we wanted to kind of preplan and look &#8230;]]></description>

And so we were able to get jobs beforehand. Uh, so we weren&#8217;t just, you know, living off the streets or anything, but we, we did find jobs. And we drove down here. In fact, uh, we originally tried to buy a house and it fell through. So we were set to move and we literally had no place to live. So I drove down with a friend and, uh, we found a place. And, uh, I remember looking at places, sending pictures to Ashley saying, &#8220;Hey, uh, you know, I found a place.&#8221; And she wasn&#8217;t even here. That&#8217;s hard. Yeah. So keep in mind, we&#8217;d been married for six months and now we&#8217;re about to purchase a home that I&#8217;ve never even seen before in a state that&#8217;s 1400 miles away. That&#8217;s trust and faith that it&#8217;s all gonna work out. And now that looking back, you also know: those things aren&#8217;t permanent either. You know, I mean, sometimes getting in the wrong place at the beginning helps, you know, where you do want to be. In different, you know, section of town or different town completely or whatever, you know? So while it feels like getting into your first homes are really, really, really major, they&#8217;re not permanent, you know. And that was kind of our whole mindset on the whole move, too. Is, &#8220;Hey, what&#8217;s the worst that&#8217;s going to happen? If we get there. And we don&#8217;t like it, we move again.&#8221; But like Sean mentioned, we both had job opportunities. I had been working in senior living and I was able to transfer. So it was just, everything kind of fell into place and, and we did buy the house and it was great. And so it all, it all kind of worked out perfectly for us to settle here and eventually, you know, build a home and have a family. Yeah. Okay. So fast forward to, um, what I want to talk to you guys about: your business side of life, um, which is Clean Juice. So how did you get, how did you take that step? You mentioned you were in senior living. Like your career path was that which is, does not sound like the Clean Juice, uh, path. So how did this get into your life? Well, uh, it started, I just left my corporate job a couple of months ago, actually. Um, I was working as a senior vice president of sales for a technology company. And I had been with that company for over 11 years and really enjoyed it. But I also saw that in the business world, there was so much change, right? So much change. And, and we really desired an opportunity to like take control of our own destiny and start our own business. And we&#8217;ve always felt like we&#8217;re a great team. We compliment each other really well. And we wanted to do something that we were passionate about, which led us down to like, uh, something around health and nutrition. Yeah we&#8217;re looking at, um, businesses that we could tag team on that would also give us some flexibility because we do have kids. And as, as we were gearing up for our youngest and our kindergarten, we wanted to kind of preplan and look &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

So, this is fun, to get to kind of tell your story to our audience and learn even more about what&#8217;s going on with you guys. So before we get into the business side, can you just tell me a little about yourselves? And I mentioned your business owners. So, tell us about you guys. Yeah, sure. Well, um, Ashley and I are both from upstate New York, Rochester, New York. You know, grew up there, uh, went to school there. And we actually started dating when we were, uh, 19 years old. And, uh- just a couple of years ago. Just a couple of years ago. And, you know, if you&#8217;ve ever been to Rochester, beautiful place in the summertime, beautiful place. The winter time, yeah, not so much. Right. So we always wanted to live somewhere warm weather and a place that had a lot of opportunity. And we, we really fell in love with the idea of moving to Texas at a young age. And, uh, we, at 23 years old, we, we packed up our Penske truck. We drove from New York to Texas and we moved like somewhat on a whim. I was going to say, were there, were there career plans in at this time that, that brought you here at all, or you kind of got here and figure the rest out? We found jobs beforehand.

I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. The National Soccer Hall of Fame is here in Frisco since 2018. And that means a lot of soccer history, and a lot of soccer figures make their way through town. Djorn Buchholz is the Executive Director of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. And he&#8217;s talking with us today. Welcome, Djorn. How are you? Good, Kelly. Thank you for having me. Yeah. Thanks for jumping on here on Zoom and giving us a, kind of the scoop and update on what&#8217;s going on over at the Hall of Fame. But before we do that, I kind of want to know more about you personally. I&#8217;ve seen you down on the field at FC Dallas games and running the show over at the Hall of Fame. But, I don&#8217;t know much about you and your own sports, um, experiences as a, as a player and, and then also professionally. Yeah, sure. Um, I&#8217;m actually born and raised on a small town in Nebraska, uh, Hastings, Nebraska. Played high school college soccer realized I wasn&#8217;t good enough to play at the next level. So just trying to figure out what was out there from a, uh, from a working standpoint and actually ended up in my first team, uh, in Indiana, the Indiana Blast, uh, you know, it was there for a couple of years and just kind of turn it into a career, you know, bounced around to some minor league pro soccer teams for, for several years is, you know, kind of general managers, uh, president at a couple, uh, then made my way to, to major league soccer at Sporting Kansas City where I was Director of Fan Experience and, uh, just a few other teams after that. And, uh, you know, honestly I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to work in the sport I love for, for over 20 years and, and found my, found my way to the National Soccer Hall of Fame really in, in the June of- June of 2017 is when I started there. Okay. I didn&#8217;t know you were a Sporting KC guy original- or before here. So June of 2017, that&#8217;s probably when we&#8217;re getting close to having the Hall of Fame, uh, done here. Obviously it was built and, you know, being worked on for a while. Um, When I showed up, I mean, I used to call it the Hole of Fame, cause it was just a big hole in the south end of the stadium. So it was, it was a project getting it, you know, and fun to be a part of, you know, really from the ground up literally. Uh, you know, from what was a hole on the south end of Toyota Stadium and, uh, into what it&#8217;s become today. And I think that&#8217;s, what&#8217;s kind of, um, cool as a fan standpoint from it too, is that it wasn&#8217;t just some existing building that they said, &#8220;all right, let&#8217;s put some artifacts in.&#8221; It was actually a re-imagined section of the stadium that they dug out and built up and, you know, re- like from locker rooms for players and just the way that they kind of reformatted the whole stadium for it and built it into it was really cool to watch and tour and be a part of. So I think that makes it even more kind of personal to us. Yeah, absolutely. And even made it really a challenging product project. You know, when you&#8217;re, when you&#8217;re looking at putting on a 56 million addition on to a stadium that&#8217;s been there since 2005, you know, so that, that was certainly a challenge for people with brighter minds than, than mine to figure out how to add a place, all of that, those, those new pieces, uh, new buildings into, into an existing structure. Sure. For sure. Now, for those who have not been inside the Hall of Fame- I mean, obviously if you live in Frisco, you have driven by it, but you might not realize what it is, what&#8217;s in there, what&#8217;s going on in there. So can you give us a quick little summary, um, for those who haven&#8217;t stepped foot, like what, what they could expect going in there? Yeah. You know, um, this is the second iteration of a Hall of Fame. There was one in Oneonta, New York up until 2010. Unfortunately closed its doors. It just wasn&#8217;t getting the kind of traffic that it needed. Uh, so this public private partnership really came together in 2015. And then we opened up our doors in 2018. And, you know, certainly, uh, you know, we&#8217;ve got over 400 artifacts that tell the history of the game in this country. It&#8217;s kind of funny. &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m, your host, Kelly Walker. Nutrition and food, especially for active and athletic people, is a fascinating topic for me, personally. I&#8217;ve been on a food journey the last couple of years. So, this topic is very exciting. It&#8217;s something I think about and want to talk about all the time. So, today we&#8217;re going to explore that with Brittany Wehrle. Hi Brittany. Thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for having me. I&#8217;m excited to be here. I&#8217;m excited to talk to you and learn. Um, so you are a Performance Dietician with Children&#8217;s Health at the Andrews Institute Sports Performance Powered by EXOS. Am I saying EXOS, right? You are. I always wonder when I see it on the side, is it, do you say E X O S or do you say &#8220;exo.&#8221; So, good to know? Okay. So what we&#8217;re going to talk about today is I&#8217;ve been thinking about a lot lately. Um, as I have young athletes and I see their friends and I hear what they&#8217;re talking about, especially on the female side of workouts and extra workouts and food and diets and all these things. So I want to talk about how this past year has maybe shifted and impacted some things in the, in that world. Um, you know, as we know, COVID canceled school sports and rec sports and clubs, sports, and pro sports, all kinds of different things, and that physically impacts athletes. But I want to talk, I want to hear from you, um, what that looks like, and some of the indirect impacts as it falls out, like we talked about with, with diet and food. So tell me, um, like young athletes that are concerned about staying in shape and what are, what are you seeing the most happen right now? Yes, ma&#8217;am. So, first of all, I just want to say thank you for opening up this question specifically. Um, because I think it&#8217;s something a lot of people aren&#8217;t talking about enough, and I just want to put a disclaimer. What I&#8217;m going to talk about here is, you know, anecdotal with what we are seeing in our facility with our athletes. I think there&#8217;s going to be some good evidence to show this stuff later on, but what we&#8217;re seeing right now is, as you mentioned, there is this concern with a lot of, you know, youth and high school athletes to stay in shape, stay competitive, come back to that first practice or the start of season, just as strong as they were when the world stopped last March. And it&#8217;s putting a lot of undue stress on them. And for a lot of them, they are channeling that stress into either food or exercise, because those are some of the controllable factors in their life, right? They can&#8217;t really control if their facility is open or if they&#8217;re going to be able to compete at the regional or national level, like they expected to. Um, they really control though, if they&#8217;re doing extra workouts, if they are, you know, changing their portions, if they&#8217;re cutting foods out, they, they see that as a place to kind of get an edge and avoid getting out of shape. But for a lot of them combining social isolation and removal of that sport, which is part of their identity and stress on food, that&#8217;s not in my opinion, a great mix to be, you know, in the middle of, essentially. So it is causing a lot of, you know, disordered eating behaviors or thoughts at least. Yeah. So with those eating behaviors, I mean, adults have, we&#8217;re talking about kids here too, but adults have, we have some really trendy diets happening. This isn&#8217;t nothing new. This has happened our whole lives, but what are you seeing as far as trends in the way younger athletes are eating or the diets that they&#8217;re following. Maybe they&#8217;re their own, or are they following certain diets that we know by name? Yeah. So I would say, I mean, there&#8217;s definitely, you know, variations within individual athletes and some of them pick up things that I&#8217;m like, &#8220;I&#8217;ve never heard that.&#8221; But on kind of a, you know, big-picture view, I would say, um, one that is a little bit specific to athletes, one that we aren&#8217;t seeing as much in general population is going to be like, plant-based. So, either vegetarian or vegan diets. And that&#8217;s primarily because of, um, a lot of professional athletes talking about being plant-based, you know, being vocal about it on social media. And then there have been documentaries one in particular that looked at athletes and vegan diets specifically. So I think &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Nicole Barron. And today I have the privilege of chatting with Leadership Prep School in Frisco. If you&#8217;re not familiar LPS, as we like to call them, is a highly regarded charter school, um, in West Frisco. And they are on a mission to inspire students, to learn, grow, and lead for a lifetime. They have a lot of incredible programs and curriculum that do exactly that. One of those we get to chat about today. It&#8217;s a very, very impressive- Leadership Prep will be hosting their second TEDx event. And I have, um, two teachers and a student who have a lot to share with us about it. And you&#8217;re definitely going to want to, um, watch the live event when it happens online. So let&#8217;s just dive in and find out all about it. Welcome to my guests. We have Loralea Ray, who is a teacher at Leadership Prep. We have Tony Curtis, also a teacher at Leadership Prep. And we have Shania Nagpal, a fifth grade student, which is very special that we have her here today because she&#8217;s going to tell you all about what she plans to share at TEDx. Welcome. Hi, thank you so much for having us. You are very welcome. It&#8217;s our pleasure. So let me just back up at the beginning and just say it cannot be easy. We hear about TEDx all the time. It&#8217;s a very big deal. It&#8217;s all over the country, the world. How does a school in Frisco, Texas get to host a TEDx? It can&#8217;t be easy. Are there a lot of rules requirements? How did this happen? Uh, yeah, definitely a lot of rules and requirements. Uh, last year was our first year. And, uh, it really just starTED with a brainstorm, uh, about how some of us were doing little mini, uh, sort of fake TED talks in our classroom. You know, just, just to kind of make the presentations seem more fun. And just one day I thought, &#8220;wait a second, why are we doing fake TED talks? Let&#8217;s do a real one?&#8221; And so we just went to TED.com and we looked up the requirements and submitted an application. And really within 30 days they approved the application and we were in, Oh my goodness. Well, they must&#8217;ve been impressed because I, again, there&#8217;s there must receive a lot of applications really, but it&#8217;s special when there are students involved. That&#8217;s that changes everything. How all of we adults think we have a million great things to say, but when it&#8217;s kids, that&#8217;s better. I want to know what they have- Shania&#8217;s nodding your head. I can see that. And you can ask. Right. Um, okay. So last year was the first one and it was right before the COVID craziness hit. Right. So you were able to have a live event at that time, is that correct? Yes. Okay. So how many students were involved in that and how old were they? Tell me a little bit about that event. Uh, I, I believe we had 11 speakers ranging from second grade through 12th grade and, um, and really the ones that stole the show tended to be the, the younger ones. Really. How cool. What kinds of things did they talk about? Do you remember? I don&#8217;t mean to put you on the spot. It was like a year and a million things ago. Yeah. Younger ones. Um, well, the TED Talks themselves were about, um, overcoming hardships, which you don&#8217;t think of a second grader having to overcome that much, but it was, it was really inspiring talks, for sure. Having to just overcome, you know, negative thinking, uh, bullying, how to find that spark within yourself, but they are. Our theme last year was &#8220;evolve.&#8221; So all of the talks had a little something to do with how, um, you know, the evolution from one, one place to another or something like that. Um, so they ranged anywhere from talking about, you know, positivity and trying to make sure that you kind of know your worth too. Um, our oldest, one of our seniors, um, he talked about how to change and reform the voting that was happening at that time, which actually became such a hot topic while we, you know, we&#8217;re in a lockdown this last presidential election, it was, it was really cool because everything that he talked about really came to fruition with like this real-life event that was happening on all of our, um, whenever we &#8230;]]></description>

And really within 30 days they approved the application and we were in, Oh my goodness. Well, they must&#8217;ve been impressed because I, again, there&#8217;s there must receive a lot of applications really, but it&#8217;s special when there are students involved. That&#8217;s that changes everything. How all of we adults think we have a million great things to say, but when it&#8217;s kids, that&#8217;s better. I want to know what they have- Shania&#8217;s nodding your head. I can see that. And you can ask. Right. Um, okay. So last year was the first one and it was right before the COVID craziness hit. Right. So you were able to have a live event at that time, is that correct? Yes. Okay. So how many students were involved in that and how old were they? Tell me a little bit about that event. Uh, I, I believe we had 11 speakers ranging from second grade through 12th grade and, um, and really the ones that stole the show tended to be the, the younger ones. Really. How cool. What kinds of things did they talk about? Do you remember? I don&#8217;t mean to put you on the spot. It was like a year and a million things ago. Yeah. Younger ones. Um, well, the TED Talks themselves were about, um, overcoming hardships, which you don&#8217;t think of a second grader having to overcome that much, but it was, it was really inspiring talks, for sure. Having to just overcome, you know, negative thinking, uh, bullying, how to find that spark within yourself, but they are. Our theme last year was &#8220;evolve.&#8221; So all of the talks had a little something to do with how, um, you know, the evolution from one, one place to another or something like that. Um, so they ranged anywhere from talking about, you know, positivity and trying to make sure that you kind of know your worth too. Um, our oldest, one of our seniors, um, he talked about how to change and reform the voting that was happening at that time, which actually became such a hot topic while we, you know, we&#8217;re in a lockdown this last presidential election, it was, it was really cool because everything that he talked about really came to fruition with like this real-life event that was happening on all of our, um, whenever we &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

It&#8217;s a very big deal. It&#8217;s all over the country, the world. How does a school in Frisco, Texas get to host a TEDx? It can&#8217;t be easy. Are there a lot of rules requirements? How did this happen? Uh, yeah, definitely a lot of rules and requirements. Uh, last year was our first year. And, uh, it really just starTED with a brainstorm, uh, about how some of us were doing little mini, uh, sort of fake TED talks in our classroom.

All work and no play? Not in Sports City, USA. Frisco might be known for its sports. But, it&#8217;s our array of out-of-left-field, totally unique attractions that really make our city a home-run.

Take a long pass on weekend boredom and regroup for some one-on-one time over dinner with more than 400 restaurant options. The Draw Play: with everything from live theater and music to a nationally recognized public art collection, Frisco&#8217;s draws are many. Frisco: The City That Plays. Kelly: Welcome to Season 3 of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome Malcolm Farmer today. Hey, Malcolm. Malcolm Farmer: Kelly, congratulations on three years. That&#8217;s uh, that&#8217;s no small, small doing, you know, you start something like this, you never know where it&#8217;s going to go three years. Heck of an accomplishment. Kelly: Thank you. It&#8217;s fun. And it&#8217;s exciting. And I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s taken this long to get you in here. One-on-one Malcolm: Well, that&#8217;s because you&#8217;ve got such a long list of, um, you know, celebrities you needed to, you know, that the true big hitters needed to come in before you&#8217;d get to know somebody like me, you know, I can only imagine I&#8217;ll probably be back in here. You know, this is kind of just, uh, uh, you know, you just had to check the box and there we&#8217;ve got this done. Now we can go onto our, our true athletes and big hitters. Okay. Kelly: I probably asked for you right away and just, I&#8217;ve just been waiting. I&#8217;ve been on your waiting list this whole time, probably. For those who don&#8217;t know Malcolm, you are the general manager and president of the Texas Legends. Last time I checked. All right. And so for those who don&#8217;t even know what that means, which if you listen to this podcast on a regular basis, you hear the us talk about the Legends all the time, but the Texas Legends are the G league affiliate of the Dallas Mavs. Just had the- watched the good Dallas Mavs win last night Malcolm: Heck of a game. Luca played very well. Kelly: Yes. Gotta love the Luca-Dirk handoff that happened here. All right. So I know that I had you on in 2020, you Zoomed in with me to talk a little bit of MJ The Last Dance, but what I want to talk to you about today is kind of a little bit more just about you. So I&#8217;ve crossed paths with you over the years with lots of Legends things, but I also don&#8217;t know about your sports background and like, obviously you&#8217;re into basketball. But, but like who, who do you love? Like, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete and is basketball, your favorite sport? Malcolm: Uh, basketball is my favorite sport. Um, favorite athlete, you know, you had me on for the Last Dance and I don&#8217;t know if you could grow up in the eighties and in the nineties, but when I grew up, Michael Jordan was, uh, the end all be all of, uh, athletes in a lot of ways. Yeah. And so certainly, you know, if I was to pick a favorite athlete, he would be it. Um, but as you get into sports, there&#8217;s a realization. Um, and maybe it&#8217;s just, as you get older that these are people and, you know, they have strengths and weaknesses just as anybody does. And they have concerns in life issues, things that come up just like anybody does. And so I really, you know, as I&#8217;ve worked in sports more and more, uh, my outlook isn&#8217;t really that who&#8217;s my favorite athlete. It&#8217;s, you know, just, uh, observing them doing what they&#8217;re really good at what they&#8217;ve trained to do. And at times, you know, putting, uh, challenges in their own lives that we all experienced. And sometimes I think we look at athletes and say, Oh, they&#8217;ve got it made. It&#8217;s perfect. And you know, it could be having a challenge and they&#8217;re able to put that aside and go out and perform, be it on the basketball court or on the soccer pitch or on the baseball diamond. Um, they&#8217;re able to go out there and do those things at a very high level. And that&#8217;s, uh, I respect that. Kelly: I could see that. Sometimes knowing, knowing more of the personal side of these athletes, especially with, with all the hands-on that you have with athletes, it makes what they&#8217;re doing on the court different and more impressive. They might not be the best player on your roster, but because you know them personally and their background or their struggles or what they&#8217;re overcoming, it just, you see them differently Malcolm: I think that as a society. And this isn&#8217;t necessarily a good thing, but sometimes we put athletes on a, on &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Nicole Barron. Today, I get to chat with the lovely Ann Anderson, who is one of our longest standing clients and friends. We always enjoy catching up with Ann because not only is she a good friend, but she educates us about a lot of things we never thought of and really need to know. So, Ann, welcome. Thank you. Good to be here. Glad to have you back. Ann is always on alert for us. She&#8217;s an advocate to many members of our community. She&#8217;s studies listens, learns what&#8217;s happening in the insurance arena so that we can be prepared for anything. And she&#8217;s walked alongside a lot of clients who had unforeseen circumstances, crazy things go on, and I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s learned a lot so that she can then carry that knowledge onto the next client. So, Ann&#8217;s just a wealth of information. She&#8217;s also, um, a parent and a wife and living the small-business-owner life. So she&#8217;s just got all kinds of angles from which to fill us with knowledge. So, Ann, thank you. Thank you again. You know what I think we should start with? The big freeze. Yes, exactly. There were a lot of fun names that went around for the, uh, craziness that was February, 2021. And, um, you know, everything from of course, floods to repairs to, um, just having to hire contractors. There&#8217;s so much there to unpack probably in terms of, um, what do we need to know to be prepared for something like that, that we just think, &#8220;nah, that&#8217;ll never happen.&#8221; So I know that&#8217;s a whole lot there, but just what are your top tips about that kind of thing? What do we need to know? You&#8217;re so right. There&#8217;s so much. And we never thought, right? I don&#8217;t think, you know, we have friends in the North and they&#8217;re like, &#8220;how do you not have electricity?&#8221; Or &#8220;why are the pipes breaking?&#8221; You know? And I&#8217;m like, &#8220;because we don&#8217;t dig below the freeze line&#8221; and things like that, that are conversations we don&#8217;t have in Texas. However, they never water their foundations either. So it goes both ways. But yeah, that freeze who- I mean, it was a hard freeze, right? We talk about it, but it was multiple days under freezing temperatures, very low temperatures. So that puts stress on your home, your plans. How many people are replacing bushes around their homes now because the, um, their Indian Hawthorn is all dead or whatever? But the biggest thing, of course, in the end, the worst thing you want is when you have a pipe break. So we, um, we&#8217;ve seen, um, a lot of those tankless water heaters, their holding tank have failed many, many of those that happened. So that&#8217;s, you know, I will say we&#8217;re, um, that&#8217;s one of the biggest things. And of course, the first thing you want to do is try and stop the, stop, the water from flowing and remediate as much as you can so that you can, um, stop the loss from being greater than it has to be. However, you know, I will be honest. We have multiple clients with more than $150,000 claims going right now because they have so much damage. And, um, so that&#8217;s the big thing where people say &#8220;that&#8217;ll never happen to me.&#8221; Water is so invasive. And we&#8217;ve learned that the hard way through the freeze and it gets everywhere. There&#8217;s places where they&#8217;re like, &#8220;but the water was on the other side of the house. Why is my kitchen wet?&#8221; That&#8217;s the way it is. Water just goes everywhere. So that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s a big thing is we think it won&#8217;t happen. How do we prevent that from happening? Well, one way is, you know, whole-house leak detections, which we&#8217;ve never thought of in the past. And a lot of people don&#8217;t consider it, but there are devices out there that will actually shut off when they, when they noticed that the hot water tanks are failing, it&#8217;ll shut off your water. So those are devices to prevent losses, right? Because we really want to protect yourselves and not have the big claim. The other part that you mentioned- or before we move to that is the other thing is everything&#8217;s wet. How do we get it dry? It&#8217;s freezing outside. We&#8217;re blowing fans, we&#8217;re doing everything we can, we want to prevent the growth of mold. Things are damaged, everything you can do. Um, we, you know, in this event, we, even our water mitigation companies that are local, we&#8217;re just overwhelmed, right? &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. We have some special guests in the studio today. We&#8217;ve got Max Hinojosa and Max&#8217;s dad, Cristian Hinojosa. Hi guys. Thanks for coming and talking to me. All right. So Max, we&#8217;re going to start off by learning a little bit about you and what you love about sports. So if I was to ask you your favorite athlete ever was who would it be? Luka Doncic Oh yeah. That&#8217;s a good one. Now what about your second favorite? Cause I know we&#8217;re going to, we&#8217;re going to talk about another sport here in a minute. So I&#8217;m curious who Jamie Benn, Oh, okay. See, I think we&#8217;re going to talk some star. So Jamie Benn. Yeah, he&#8217;s a good one too. You like some, some good Dallas athletes. So, um, I think I know the whole roster . Of the stars. Yeah. Give it, give it to me. How many can you name Pitt Pavelski Benn Rangelove Klinenberg Robertson. Gloriana of Kivronta. Wow. And how is a fun one to say he got a hat trick in the playoffs last year in a game winning goal for Dallas and move on to the Western conference championships. Well, yeah, you did. You said a lot of those names that are not easy to say Jamie Benn. Sure. He&#8217;s easy to say. Some of those are really tough. Yeah. Those are harder. And for everybody listening, what you probably don&#8217;t realize is how old Max is. He sounds, he knows this stuff about the stars, but Max, how old are you? Seven years old. Seven years old. Got a lot of stars. Knowledge in that seven year old brain of yours. I even been to some games that I, I went to the opening season game this, this year for the stars and they crushed them seven to zero. Wow. Did you get to see all those goals? Yes. That&#8217;s fantastic. Did anybody get a hat trick in that game with all those goals? Oh, no. Different players. All seven different players. Wow. And they were on a, I think at the beginning of this season, was it right? That they were on a good winning streak? Yes. But then they dropped down. Yeah. They were up to fourth, but then they dropped down to last. Well, you know, hockey&#8217;s got a long season, usually. I don&#8217;t know. In normal seasons, normal years. It&#8217;s really long season it&#8217;s I think, I think it&#8217;s one of the harder sports to play a full season in like get to the finals and the, get to the, you know, win championships hockey is just kind of brutal. Right. What do you think? I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s brutal off. So you don&#8217;t think when those guys are like skate and full speed and they get checked up against the boards I&#8217;d say that was brutal. Yeah. That seems brutal. Right? I feel like when I say brutal, I mean like tough on your body, Like they trip and slash Who do you think some of the tougher athletes are? Jamie? He fights a lot. He&#8217;s a fighter. I know Yan Mon, but he was going, he was at destroys, but then he moved to Chicago. Okay. Okay. So I think hockey players are super tough. Like I said, I think it&#8217;s hard to get to the finals in that sport. Um, because it&#8217;s a long season and it&#8217;s just so hard on your body, but I think they&#8217;re like tough players out on the ice, but I think there&#8217;s some of the nicest guys. Have you ever gotten to meet any of them or hear any of them talk off ice? No. I&#8217;ve seen, I&#8217;ve seen them interview. Yeah. Yeah. I&#8217;ve seen some interviews, but I never got a met any I&#8217;m working on that. We got, we made, make a wish. They were &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. We have some special guests in the studio today. We&#8217;ve got Max Hinojosa and Max&#8217;s dad, Cristian Hinojosa. Hi guys. Thanks for coming and talking to me. All right. So Max, we&#8217;re going to start off by learning a little bit about you and what you love about sports. So if I was to ask you your favorite athlete ever was who would it be? Luka Doncic Oh yeah. That&#8217;s a good one. Now what about your second favorite? Cause I know we&#8217;re going to, we&#8217;re going to talk about another sport here in a minute. So I&#8217;m curious who Jamie Benn, Oh, okay. See, I think we&#8217;re going to talk some star. So Jamie Benn. Yeah, he&#8217;s a good one too. You like some, some good Dallas athletes. So, um, I think I know the whole roster . Of the stars. Yeah. Give it, give it to me. How many can you name Pitt Pavelski Benn Rangelove Klinenberg Robertson. Gloriana of Kivronta. Wow. And how is a fun one to say he got a hat trick in the playoffs last year in a game winning goal for Dallas and move on to the Western conference championships. Well, yeah, you did. You said a lot of those names that are not easy to say Jamie Benn. Sure. He&#8217;s easy to say. Some of those are really tough. Yeah. Those are harder. And for everybody listening, what you probably don&#8217;t realize is how old Max is. He sounds, he knows this stuff about the stars, but Max, how old are you? Seven years old. Seven years old. Got a lot of stars. Knowledge in that seven year old brain of yours. I even been to some games that I, I went to the opening season game this, this year for the stars and they crushed them seven to zero. Wow. Did you get to see all those goals? Yes. That&#8217;s fantastic. Did anybody get a hat trick in that game with all those goals? Oh, no. Different players. All seven different players. Wow. And they were on a, I think at the beginning of this season, was it right? That they were on a good winning streak? Yes. But then they dropped down. Yeah. They were up to fourth, but then they dropped down to last. Well, you know, hockey&#8217;s got a long season, usually. I don&#8217;t know. In normal seasons, normal years. It&#8217;s really long season it&#8217;s I think, I think it&#8217;s one of the harder sports to play a full season in like get to the finals and the, get to the, you know, win championships hockey is just kind of brutal. Right. What do you think? I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s brutal off. So you don&#8217;t think when those guys are like skate and full speed and they get checked up against the boards I&#8217;d say that was brutal. Yeah. That seems brutal. Right? I feel like when I say brutal, I mean like tough on your body, Like they trip and slash Who do you think some of the tougher athletes are? Jamie? He fights a lot. He&#8217;s a fighter. I know Yan Mon, but he was going, he was at destroys, but then he moved to Chicago. Okay. Okay. So I think hockey players are super tough. Like I said, I think it&#8217;s hard to get to the finals in that sport. Um, because it&#8217;s a long season and it&#8217;s just so hard on your body, but I think they&#8217;re like tough players out on the ice, but I think there&#8217;s some of the nicest guys. Have you ever gotten to meet any of them or hear any of them talk off ice? No. I&#8217;ve seen, I&#8217;ve seen them interview. Yeah. Yeah. I&#8217;ve seen some interviews, but I never got a met any I&#8217;m working on that. We got, we made, make a wish. They were &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

You&#8217;ll, you&#8217;ll definitely be in touch with her if you&#8217;re getting involved with the market. So I&#8217;m going to turn it over to you, ladies. Would you please give our audience a little overview of what Frisco Fresh Market is, when it joined Frisco, when you opened- that sort of thing? Yes, absolutely. For starters, thanks for having us. We&#8217;re excited to be here today and we are super excited to talk to you about the Frisco Fresh Market. So we are an outdoor farmer&#8217;s market located on Main St. in Frisco. We are open every Saturday and Sunday year-round. Um, our hours on Saturday are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. And on Sundays we&#8217;re open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM as well. And you can come out and find all kinds of goodies, such as fresh produce, fresh meats, seasonings, olive oils- pasta, baked goods- all kinds of baked goods. Pretty much anything you can think of we will have. If you&#8217;re, if you&#8217;re doing keto, low-carb, gluten-free, um, to peach cobbler and pound cake and brownies and cookies, everything. Definitely something this week, too. The best croissants you&#8217;ll ever put in your mouth. It&#8217;s amazing. And then you can come for regular lunches too. We have, um, a Mexican and El Salvadorian restaurant there. Um, we have, uh, a Sri Lankan place. We have barbecue. We have gumbo. We really have, we have it all. And do we have to start on the gourmet coffee? I don&#8217;t think so. It&#8217;s to die for. Best coffee, oh my gosh. It&#8217;s so good. That&#8217;s so fun because that&#8217;s the thing that I don&#8217;t think everybody realizes, except those that have taken the time to come visit and join our loyal visitors. They may not know that there&#8217;s food. You can go and sit and walk around and actually have a meal. You&#8217;re not just going to buy, produce. The produce is awesome. Exactly. There&#8217;s so much more. Can you give a shout out to some of your specific vendors? I know you love them all. They&#8217;re all valuable to you, but like who&#8217;s kind of there that&#8217;s unique that we may be like, &#8220;Whoa, really? I&#8217;ve never heard about that. That&#8217;s fun.&#8221; You just named some of the incredible products. Oh my gosh. Uh, yeah. I mean, Yiayia&#8217;s Coffeehouse and, uh, Yia Yi]]></itunes:summary>

Hustle &#38; Pro is all about sports and all about Frisco. Today, we&#8217;re talking to our friends at Visit Frisco, Cori Powers and Wesley Lucas. Welcome. Thanks for having us. Thank you. Yeah, thanks. I&#8217;m excited to talk to you guys. So, um, we&#8217;re going to learn a little bit more about Visit Frisco and what you guys have going on right now, but because Hustle &#38; Pro&#8217;s all about sports, I want to know about you guys or gals, um, and specifically about sports. So kind of like if you guys have any sporty backgrounds or not. So, um, just off the top, who are some of your favorite athletes? And let&#8217;s &#8211; so since our voices all sound the same, let&#8217;s start with Cori. So Cori, you&#8217;re the Director of Marketing &#38; Communications for Visit Frisco. So Cori, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Oh, easy Peyton Manning. I actually named my daughter Peyton after Peyton Manning. Um, my grandfather actually played for the Baltimore Colts. So we&#8217;ve always been a Colts family growing up and I lived in Indiana. So obviously it makes perfect sense. Wow. So, Peyton Manning. That&#8217;s a no-brainer for you then. What about you Wesley and Wesley? You are the Senior Communications Manager for Visit Frisco. That&#8217;s right. So what about you? Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Oh my gosh. It&#8217;s tough to just pick one. Um, I&#8217;m a golfer, so Tiger Woods is amazing. Um, Serena Williams, I mean, as female athletes go, she&#8217;s gotta be the number one. I&#8217;m a big Saints fan. So Drew Brees, but also like when I think about just athletic ability, I&#8217;ve always thought that Michael Phelps, like to be able to win as many gold medals as he did. Unbelievable. Like yeah, watching that, that run of all of his Olympic run, those were just incredible moments. He&#8217;s one of those athletes that to me made me watch a sport I otherwise didn&#8217;t really watch and didn&#8217;t understand the, you know, the nuances and like one of those that like you are sucked in because of like what they are doing. So those are, yeah, those are impactful athletes. So then Wesley, um, um, I&#8217;m taking it since you&#8217;re nodding you, weren&#8217;t a swimmer. What did you do? Did you play sports growing up? Yeah, I actually, I played baseball when I was really little. I didn&#8217;t want to play softball. I played baseball. So that&#8217;s kind of where my love for baseball comes from, but I&#8217;ve been playing golf since I was probably about 9 or 10 years old. So I grew up playing golf, did all through, you know, high school. Wanted to play in college, but I loved it so much that I didn&#8217;t want it to be competitive anymore. So golf is probably my favorite sports to play. Baseball, football, probably to watch. Golf in college. Yeah. It&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a level that not that it&#8217;s not fun for those athletes, but if you&#8217;re a dedicated college golfer, that&#8217;s your life. A hundred percent. Yeah. And I kind of want to do enjoy college, so I, I didn&#8217;t want it to be competitive anymore. I wanted to enjoy the game. Yeah. That&#8217;s a hard decision. I talked to a lot of high school athletes or people that have, um, already, maybe played a year in college and changed their mind after that because they realize it&#8217;s not what they expected. It, it takes away the experience that they were hoping to get out of college. So I, I hear ya. Um, Cori, what about you? What did you, I know you have football in your family, but what did you personally do in sports? I played volleyball through high school. Um, club volleyball, school volleyball. Um, really that was it. Just a one track mind. Well, it&#8217;s like the one thing I felt like I didn&#8217;t learn how to play. Um, Wesley, you and my sister both played baseball instead of softball. She was, she has like curly brown hair and was really short when she was little. So she just looked like a boy and played on the boys T-ball and baseball teams. And then when I started getting interested in it, it was &#8230;]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; In this episode, we have a discussion with Kaanji Irby about parenting and specifically, the bias and racial isolation in youth sports. Do we have bias that impacts kids&#8217; experiences in youth sports? Do we (knowingly or not) segregate young athletes? The discussion isn&#8217;t an easy one for me, but it&#8217;s important to look around, pause, and think. Kaanji has great tools we can tap into to dive into this and many other topics that relate to parenting our youngest players. Enjoy this episode and other episodes of Hustle and Pro in our archives. Show Notes [01:04] About Embrace Action [03:33] Why are youth sports segregated?

I have my friend Kaanji Irby in the studio with me. Welcome. Hey friend, Hey Hustle &#38; Pro family. I am excited to talk to you because we have an interesting and important topic today. So just to kind of give everybody a little bit of background: right after we first met, um, you said you were a sports fan and we talked about coming on and doing an episode together, and that was probably seven or eight months now. And you also have a podcast. And so we&#8217;ve talked about, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;ll come on your show.&#8221; And we&#8217;ll talk about that in a minute too. But so we&#8217;re finally, finally sitting down, we&#8217;ve had so many good conversations and I&#8217;m excited to finally get one recorded and, and put it out there to our audience. Um, so you were, or are a spin instructor. You can correct me there. Um, a lawyer, a mom, which is how I came to know you because you&#8217;re a mother you, um, in 2020 started, founded, Embrace Action. And which is, I&#8217;ll let you say it in your own words, how you describe it, but that&#8217;s how you and I came to know each other. So that kind of spears some of the topic of what we&#8217;re going to talk about today. So tell us a little bit about Embrace Action for us. Yeah. Thanks Kelly. Um, in addition to being a cycling instructor and an attorney and a mom to a 12 year old, 6th grader Ed Griffin, um, last year, I, along with some other moms here in the Frisco area, we founded Embrace Action. And Embrace Action is, um, a nonprofit organization that was founded to bridge the racial empathy and awareness gap. We realized as moms of boys in this community, that there is a different level of understanding because we have different perspectives when it comes to parenting. I know and you, you, and I&#8217;ve had this conversation and podcast family, if you saw Kelly and I, our text thread would be insane, but parenting and motherhood is hard, right? Parenting boys is really tough, but within our experiences, there are things that shape cultural things that shape and influence how we parent and how our sons and our daughters receive that. And that&#8217;s why we started this organization, you know, and then that&#8217;s also why we started our podcast. Um, I am also a 49ers fan. I was born and raised in the Bay area, sorry for your Hustle &#38; Pro listeners, but, um- That&#8217;s okay. We welcome everybody, even if they&#8217;re not Frisco homers. And that&#8217;s what our nonprofits about. It&#8217;s about welcoming everyone. It&#8217;s about inclusion. It&#8217;s about understanding and accepting that even though I&#8217;m a 49ers fan, I&#8217;m still a wonderful person, you know, and it&#8217;s about realizing that we all bring our own diversity and our perspectives to everything we do. And what is it we can do to support and include everyone, which is why I&#8217;m so thankful that you invited me to talk, um, a little bit about, uh, kids in sports, especially adolescents who are going through sports and why it is in some instances that sports programs remain largely segregated. And most importantly, why it is so important to involve our kids in sports, because that&#8217;s a way of bridging the segregation. Because when there is inclusion on sports teams, you have the ability to, um, include everyone. And that&#8217;s where real friendships are formed and the statistics and the data really support that. So when you say the word segregation, that sports youth sports are segregated- I&#8217;ve done a lot of work with your group. So I&#8217;m learning and you know, I&#8217;m always afraid to say something, I&#8217;ll just say it and you can fix it and enlightened me too. But I always think, &#8220;no, it&#8217;s not segregated. We&#8217;re not knowingly dividing people up by color.&#8221; But I&#8217;ve also learned just because you&#8217;re not intentionally doing it, or it&#8217;s not written down that, you know, certain kids can play in this league or this league or whatever that, isn&#8217;t what we&#8217;re talking about here, right? This is a unintentional form of kids just naturally because of a lot of different reasons and circumstances that the leagues ended up being, you know, mostly white kids are playing in this league or this sport. Right. So, I mean, when you say that youth sports are segregated, isn&#8217;t that what you mean? How do you mean that? Yeah, that&#8217;s an excellent, fantastic question. First of all, I would never correct you at all because, uh, you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re probably much smarter than I am and your listeners obviously know how intelligent you are and how thoughtful you are, but you touched on a point that I would love to focus on before we talk about what we mean by segregation now &#8230;]]></description>

Do we have bias that impacts kids&#8217; experiences in youth sports? Do we (knowingly or not) segregate young athletes? The discussion isn&#8217;t an easy one for me, but it&#8217;s important to look around, pause, and think.

I have my friend Kaanji Irby in the studio with me. Welcome. Hey friend, Hey Hustle &#38; Pro family. I am excited to talk to you because we have an interesting and important topic today. So just to kind of give everybody a little bit of background: right after we first met, um, you said you were a sports fan and we talked about coming on and doing an episode together, and that was probably seven or eight months now. And you also have a podcast. And so we&#8217;ve talked about, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;ll come on your show.&#8221; And we&#8217;ll talk about that in a minute too. But so we&#8217;re finally, finally sitting down, we&#8217;ve had so many good conversations and I&#8217;m excited to finally get one recorded and, and put it out there to our audience. Um, so you were, or are a spin instructor. You can correct me there. Um, a lawyer, a mom, which is how I came to know you because you&#8217;re a mother you, um, in 2020 started, founded, Embrace Action. And which is, I&#8217;ll let you say it in your own words, how you describe it, but that&#8217;s how you and I came to know each other. So that kind of spears some of the topic of what we&#8217;re going to talk about today. So tell us a little bit about Embrace Action for us. Yeah. Thanks Kelly. Um, in addition to being a cycling instructor and an attorney and a mom to a 12 year old, 6th grader Ed Griffin, um, last year, I, along with some other moms here in the Frisco area, we founded Embrace Action. And Embrace Action is, um, a nonprofit organization that was founded to bridge the racial empathy and awareness gap. We realized as moms of boys in this community, that there is a different level of understanding because we have different perspectives when it comes to parenting. I know and you, you, and I&#8217;ve had this conversation and podcast family, if you saw Kelly and I, our text thread would be insane, but parenting and motherhood is hard, right? Parenting boys is really tough, but within our experiences, there are things that shape cultural things that shape and influence how we parent and how our sons and our daughters receive that. And that&#8217;s why we started this organization, you know, and then that&#8217;s also why we started our podcast. Um, I am also a 49ers fan.

The Play, Action, Pass: fun day out that&#8217;s also educational? At KidsZania, there are more ways than one to have a ball. Frisco, the city that plays. Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro. This episode starts Season #3 of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of talking to so many inspirational athletes and coaches and fans and broadcasters over the last few years. I&#8217;m very lucky to be able to host this podcast. And so when I was excited that my Season 3 was starting, I thought, &#8220;Okay, how do we celebrate Season 3? Number 3. Number 3.&#8221; And I was brainstorming. And all I could think about was #3 like Babe Ruth. And so to talk about that for this episode, I invited our friend, Chris Mycoskie, on to join us. So thanks for coming on with us, Chris. Yeah. And congratulations. I have not been able to stick with many things in my life for three years. So for you to be able to do this is a pretty remarkable, uh, you know, yeah. It&#8217;s been a great run and obviously a ton of great guests. I&#8217;m honored that you&#8217;d have me on for this anniversary show. Yeah. Well, we did a countdown last time you were on. And so I thought, &#8220;okay, this isn&#8217;t really a countdown of famous Number-3s or anything.&#8221; But because I had Babe Ruth on my mind, I&#8217;m thinking, all right, who can talk to me about, you know, I don&#8217;t know, baseball players and different things and with your a professional broadcaster. So obviously you can talk sports, but you also have such a personal background in baseball with your family ties to the Rangers. So I thought, &#8220;okay, I know that I know the guy.&#8221; So that&#8217;s why, uh, that&#8217;s why I invited you. And I appreciate you joining me. So I keep mentioning Babe Ruth, I think it&#8217;s because as I was a kid, when I started playing softball, for some reason, maybe that was the number that was available. I don&#8217;t know. Maybe that was just because my dad told me Babe Ruth, but it just kind of never, it always stuck with me and I, it never left me that that was his number. And so, you know, you start noticing other numbers as you&#8217;re a player and over the years. And so, um, I thought it would be fun. I was, I was a little Number-3. Yeah. I mean, it changes as you get older and sometimes you don&#8217;t get to pick that number, but it just stuck with me, I guess it was kind of my first one and Jack, our son, he just recently, um, switched AA baseball teams and had to pick a number. And so it&#8217;s kind of funny as you talk different numbers. You, you try to like kind of coach your kids, you know? &#8220;I mean, yeah, that&#8217;s fine. But what about this number?&#8221; And then it&#8217;s like, &#8220;well, when you&#8217;re the new kid on the team nothing&#8217;s available anyway, so you get what you get.&#8221; But it&#8217;s just kind of fun thinking about what your mind goes to when you think of different Jersey numbers. So yeah. When I was little, I always picked #22, if I had the opportunity to choose because my next-door neighbor was kind of this larger-than-life figure in my life because he was, um, on the high school baseball team and idolized him. He actually made time for us to play catch with us as little kids. So I wanted to be just like him. So wore #22, like Chad MacDonald. That&#8217;s a good one. Yeah. All right. Let&#8217;s talk about some Number-3s. I keep talking about Babe Ruth. So if you don&#8217;t mind, let&#8217;s jump off there because I was, I was looking for some ideas today. I kind of went down the Babe Ruth rabbit hole anyways. Um, cause I wanted to write down some things and it opened up a lot of interesting things as I was looking at other Number-3. So not just Babe Ruth, but my second baseball Number-3 and I don&#8217;t know, baseball just kind of kept topping my list. But, um, Ken Griffey Jr. Right, was, was another Number-3. And there were so many parallels in their career. Obviously as a person off the field, not the same type of people so much. Um, but when you&#8217;re talking about player kind of historically, and some things that they were able to accomplish, I was surprised to learn that there were some similarities between those two Number-3s, but, um, first of all, is, is he one of the top Number-3s that you think of when you think of that? Of course. And &#8230;]]></description>

Um, but when you&#8217;re talking about player kind of historically, and some things that they were able to accomplish, I was surprised to learn that there were some similarities between those two Number-3s, but, um, first of all, is, is he one of the top Number-3s that you think of when you think of that? Of course. And &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

This episode starts Season #3 of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of talking to so many inspirational athletes and coaches and fans and broadcasters over the last few years. I&#8217;m very lucky to be able to host this podcast. And so when I was excited that my Season 3 was starting, I thought, &#8220;Okay, how do we celebrate Season 3? Number 3. Number 3.&#8221; And I was brainstorming. And all I could think about was #3 like Babe Ruth. And so to talk about that for this episode, I invited our friend, Chris Mycoskie, on to join us. So thanks for coming on with us, Chris. Yeah. And congratulations. I have not been able to stick with many things in my life for three years. So for you to be able to do this is a pretty remarkable, uh, you know, yeah. It&#8217;s been a great run and obviously a ton of great guests. I&#8217;m honored that you&#8217;d have me on for this anniversary show. Yeah. Well, we did a countdown last time you were on. And so I thought, &#8220;okay, this isn&#8217;t really a countdown of famous Number-3s or anything.&#8221; But because I had Babe Ruth on my mind, I&#8217;m thinking, all right, who can talk to me about, you know, I don&#8217;t know, baseball players and different things and with your a professional broadcaster. So obviously you can talk sports, but you also have such a personal background in baseball with your family ties to the Rangers. So I thought, &#8220;okay, I know that I know the guy.&#8221; So that&#8217;s why, uh, that&#8217;s why I invited you. And I appreciate you joining me. So I keep mentioning Babe Ruth, I think it&#8217;s because as I was a kid, when I started playing softball, for some reason, maybe that was the number that was available. I don&#8217;t know. Maybe that was just because my dad told me Babe Ruth, but it just kind of never, it always stuck with me and I, it never left me that that was his number. And so, you know, you start noticing other numbers as you&#8217;re a player and over the years. And so, um, I thought it would be fun. I was, I was a little Number-3. Yeah. I mean, it changes as you get older and sometimes you don&#8217;t get to pick that number, but it just stuck with me, I guess it was kind of my first one and Jack, our son, he just recently, um, switched AA baseball teams and had to pick a number. And so it&#8217;s kind of funny as you talk different numbers. You, you try to like kind of coach your kids, you know? &#8220;I]]></itunes:summary>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to the 100th episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m really excited to make it to 100 episodes. They say, that&#8217;s when you know, you&#8217;ve got a solid podcast when you get to a hundred. So I thought, &#8220;how can I celebrate getting to a hundred episodes? I need a big guest.&#8221; So of course we got one. Welcome to the studio: Jeff Cheney. Wow, so honored to be number 100. I&#8217;m excited to hear from you. &#8221;Cause I&#8217;ve seen, you know, here and there, some of your personal, you know, sports posts and interests and things, but I&#8217;ve never really learned much about it. So that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re here to talk about. Now. I know you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re the Frisco mayor. But this is not an, a mayoral duty. This is not, you know, talk about so much Frisco. It&#8217;s really about you specifically. So to start off, I like to ask all my guests some quick hits, just to kind of jump in and get to know what, what you like about sports. So who would you say is your favorite athlete? Oh, Michael Jordan. Let&#8217;s go. That was fast. That was easy. Uh, what about your favorite sports movie? Oh boy. Um, I&#8217;m going to go with Hoosiers. All right. So I&#8217;m not even gonna ask you your favorite sport &#8217;cause obviously you&#8217;re, it&#8217;s a basketball theme going on. Um, so, so Season 3 of Hustle &#38; Pro is about to start and I change up those questions, um, every season. So I&#8217;m going to give you next season&#8217;s because I just am curious what yours is. Um, what&#8217;s on your playlist if you&#8217;re working out or doing something sporty. You know, I&#8217;m a kid of the &#8217;80s. And so back then, you know, being in suburban America, you know, we thought we were all tough looking, listening to rap. And so I go back to my roots, you know, I got a little, um, Snoop Dogg and Dr.- So I, uh, that&#8217;s what I usually pull up when I, when I&#8217;m working out. Yeah. I have some of that too. I have a mix, but I definitely have some rap on there. I feel like it makes me work out a little harder when I have something like that to listen to. &#8217;80s rap is the best. Yeah, it is. Oh man, that commercial right now, the, um, the &#8220;scoop there it is&#8221; tag team. Gosh, I love it every time I&#8217;m like, this is great. Okay. So let&#8217;s just jump into kind of personally your background. Like what type of young athlete were you? Sure. So I was, um, what a Frisco kid is today, you know, playing multiple, multiple sports at the same time, you know, changing jerseys in the car. Um, so I played at all, um, you know, soccer, basketball, baseball, football, um, and so, you know, that was my life growing up, um, like a lot of Frisco kids these days and just always loved sports, loved being an athlete. My dad was a coach for baseball. And so that was bonding for us, certainly, um, you know, growing up. And So he coached you. Do you have siblings that were also playing? I do. I have three sisters. And so they were all athletes, also two older sisters that are twins. They played softball and, and were into equestrian riding as well. So I do consider that a sport. That&#8217;s not your average sport because if they listen to this and that I say that it isn&#8217;t, then they&#8217;ll come after me. Oh for sure it is. They&#8217;re competing and have to keep up. And yeah, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s interesting. I don&#8217;t know much about equestrian, but that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s cool. So there&#8217;s softball players. That&#8217;s my thing too. So I didn&#8217;t even know you had twin sisters. Yeah. And then a little sister too. And so she was an athlete and um, I guess she ended up probably being the best of all of us. She&#8217;s actually run ultramarathons. Wow. Yeah. So it was like fifty-something miles. She ran in one, one day. That&#8217;s incredible. I don&#8217;t even know if I hit that and like, you know, half-a-year sometimes. Um, okay, so you, yeah. You played everything, like you said. Um, so is this in Texas you grew up? I did. So grew up outside of Houston. Okay. I thought Houston. Yeah. All right. So then that kind of leads me to my next question. I&#8217;m about to ask you about your college team knowing full well it&#8217;s one of my rival college teams, uh, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m a Red Raider. But tell me about your college allegiances. Well, I, I bleed orange. So I graduated from the University of Texas. In fact, we&#8217;re a Longhorn family. Um, my dad was a Longhorn. All three of my sisters were Longhorns. And so it&#8217;s definitely a tradition. So in high school I didn&#8217;t even apply to another school. You know, I got into Texas &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host Scott Ellis. This week, we&#8217;re talking again to Kevin Carswell, the owner of Mochas &#38; Javas, uh, a favorite coffee shop location here in Frisco, located at the corner of Legacy and Eldorado, that is, on the southeast corner of Legacy and Eldorado. Yeah. So I was thinking in my head, but yes, that was correct. Yeah. I always have to, I&#8217;m looking at it from the opposite direction. So I also have to turn the map in my head and make sure I get that right. But, uh, welcome to the show and thanks for joining us again. Thanks for having me. I really enjoy it. Enjoy what you guys do up there in Frisco for us Appreciate it. So yes, thank you very much. And we love supporting the local businesses as much as we can, yours included, but you&#8217;re not in Frisco at the moment. It sounds like you&#8217;re, uh, probably down in San Marcos, I&#8217;m in San Marcos, um, was up in Frisco last week, just overseeing operations. Things are running very well through. We have a really good team in place right now and things they&#8217;re really happy with, with our, um, staff up there. We&#8217;re still hiring. Uh, I think that&#8217;s something that I think every business Frisco seems to be doing, especially in the restaurant industry is hiring all the time. So we&#8217;re open to UNT campus comes online here. Eventually allow us a little bit more staffing for the hours that we need which is typically 8 to 5, 6 to 5, Monday to Fridays. But, uh, it&#8217;s we enjoy, uh, the Frisco area very much it nice to be up there. And it&#8217;s, um, I was telling my daughter, we did, um, doing more t-shirts um, and my daughter and one of our staff are doing more of the designs and she does a great job of design. So they&#8217;re just more solid after- the nice thing is the thing that I&#8217;ve noticed. The last been there three and a half years now, the nice thing I&#8217;ve noticed the last 12 months is more of our customer are buying our shirts and our tumblers cause they have funny bought into our brand up there, which is really nice. Well that&#8217;s good. You guys do have a solid brand and I will say you have, I&#8217;ve always noticed that you have an excellent staff in the Frisco location. Um, we&#8217;re always very friendly, very knowledgeable. Um, they&#8217;re really good at remembering people&#8217;s faces and drinks. I&#8217;ve just always been impressed by the folks you&#8217;ve had in there. You guys are doing a great job. So with that said, as you mentioned, uh, you know, we&#8217;re in a time when people are, you know, especially restaurants are always hiring, but, uh, right now things have been a little up and down for a lot of folks in your business. How are you guys handling? How has business been, I should say amongst or amids the, uh, the COVID pandemic? Initially. I mean, initially when it first started and right at spring break, pretty devastating, especially in San Marcos, we&#8217;re next to Texas State University. It happened, it started on spring break the first spring, a week of spring break, and everyone already had plans to go somewhere else for spring breaks. They all left, went home and 38,000 students never returned. Yeah, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s brutal Plus staff and everybody else. So with, uh, we had a greater impact, uh, and a longer impact in San Marcos and we&#8217;re still not back to last year&#8217;s numbers. However, the Frisco store, we saw a big slowdown in March, April. We started seeing a business turning to pick up in May, June. Uh, summertime was moderate. We make some staffing changes in August. We have a really nice strong team in right now. Um, and we&#8217;ve actually been growing over the last year still since we hit September, partly because we have a drive-thru. I know we have great product and our timing has gotten better and we have a better supply of product on hand at all times, too. We were having some issues where sometimes, or we just weren&#8217;t stocking as well as we could or not preparing as well. We&#8217;ve done a much better job now of keeping our products in stock and with increased volume, we turned those products that were very quickly, so we&#8217;re constantly baking fresh items all the time. So invite helps a lot of things. One is it helps product movement and we just stock it more. And so we&#8217;re able to fulfill our customer&#8217;s orders and the needs a much better, which I think is a part of a reason why we&#8217;re growing. Oh, that&#8217;s good to know. Cause you have some of our favorite snacks in Frisco. So like, uh, like hearing that. So you mentioned some staff changes, obviously some changes or at least some, uh, uh, improvements with, uh, keeping, you know, the food and things on hand. Uh, what other, if any changes have been happening here at the Frisco location? Yeah, recently, it&#8217;s about six last six, eight weeks. We added online ordering for the Frisco location. It&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve had for a little over a year in San Marcos. Uh, we implemented about six to eight weeks ago. We&#8217;re getting to the point now it&#8217;s just drinks &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. You all know that I love my baseball and my RoughRiders, so I&#8217;m thrilled to welcome the president and GM of the Frisco RoughRiders, Victor Rojas. Welcome. Thanks Kelly. Thanks for having me. Yeah, thanks for coming in and talking to us. All right. Off the top here, before we get talking about some things I always like to do some icebreakers and I want to know a couple of your sports preferences. So if you had to tell me who your favorite athlete was, who would that be? Was, or still is? Uh, my favorite- well, my dad&#8217;s my favorite, my mentor, you know, having played 16 years in the big leagues, but as far as other players are concerned, Don Mattingly was probably when I was in college, had the most influence on me. I had the chance to meet him when my dad was managing the Angels in 1988. And, uh, from that point forward, he kind of became my guy. As a matter of fact, I named my daughter Mattingly after him. So, uh, yeah, he&#8217;s probably the one. And then Mike Trout now, currently, as far as current players is Yeah, I gotta get your Angels guys in there. Uh, what about sports movies? Uh, Field of Dreams, uh, is, is up there, but for me, The Natural is probably still Number 1. Uh, again, uh, I took, uh, Roy Hobbs&#8217;s name and I stuck it in my son&#8217;s middle name is Hobbs. Oh my gosh. Wow. You really commit. Yeah. Field of Dreams is one of my favorites too. We, we recently talked about all of our favorite sports movies in baseball happened to be like my top five. All right. So I&#8217;m asking you, this is an old one that I asked in Season 1, but I&#8217;m curious because of your experience in clubhouses and all your time with baseball. So, uh, do you have any superstitions in sports, either you as a player or that you&#8217;ve seen that are interesting? Yeah. I never liked to touching the foul line when I crossed onto the field or crossed off of it. Uh, that was always one that, uh, for whatever reason as a pitcher, when I was at the Angels system, I never, for whatever reason, I was a reliever and I never liked taking the baseball from the manager. And I got some strange looks. Uh, I would ask them to drop the baseball and I wouldn&#8217;t pick up the baseball until it stopped rolling. And so I picked it up there. And from that point forward, I would throw my first pitch. My first warm-up pitch was pretty much from the landing area. Then I would walk up to the rubber and then get my, uh, my next seven warm-up pitches. And, uh, I couldn&#8217;t tell you where that came from. It was just one of those things, idiosyncrasies that I just started in and kept doing it. Something in your head, wanted the catcher to have you wanted the catcher to give it to you after you&#8217;d thrown a pitch? Well, yeah, after that is fine. Yeah. Once, once I&#8217;ve thrown the ball, I just mean you didn&#8217;t want to get it from the, from the manager&#8217;s hand. Correct, skip, go ahead and drop it. And he&#8217;s looking at me like &#8220;what? Just drop it&#8221; and whenever it stopped rolling that&#8217;s when I picked it up. That&#8217;s funny. Yeah, that&#8217;s a good one. All right. So it was just recently announced that you are taking over at the helm of the RoughRiders. And before that, I want to run down some things so that our audience kind of gets familiar with, with your history. Cause it&#8217;s a, it&#8217;s a good one. It&#8217;s a long one. It&#8217;s extensive, it&#8217;s extensive, but I&#8217;ll, I&#8217;ll be fast. So, um, you are a college player and then you jumped into coaching in &#8217;93 in the Marlin system, and I&#8217;m not going to cover all of it, obviously there&#8217;s a lot, but then you started your play-by-play world in the minors, uh, for the Newark Bears. And you were also a GM there. Then you went to the Diamondbacks and you had five seasons here for our Rangers. And then, uh, you were host on the MLB Network then 11 seasons. So the most recent was 11 seasons with the Angels in Anaheim. Wow. So you do love baseball, right? Yeah. A little bit of everything kind of grew up in it and, uh, fortunate to still be working in it. So, yeah, it&#8217;s one of those things where after playing it, after coaching a little bit, I thought the front office side was going to be my, my &#8230;]]></description>

Uh, Field of Dreams, uh, is, is up there, but for me, The Natural is probably still Number 1. Uh, again, uh, I took, uh, Roy Hobbs&#8217;s name and I stuck it in my son&#8217;s middle name is Hobbs. Oh my gosh. Wow. You really commit. Yeah. Field of Dreams is one of my favorites too. We, we recently talked about all of our favorite sports movies in baseball happened to be like my top five. All right. So I&#8217;m asking you, this is an old one that I asked in Season 1, but I&#8217;m curious because of your experience in clubhouses and all your time with baseball. So, uh, do you have any superstitions in sports, either you as a player or that you&#8217;ve seen that are interesting? Yeah. I never liked to touching the foul line when I crossed onto the field or crossed off of it. Uh, that was always one that, uh, for whatever reason as a pitcher, when I was at the Angels system, I never, for whatever reason, I was a reliever and I never liked taking the baseball from the manager. And I got some strange looks. Uh, I would ask them to drop the baseball and I wouldn&#8217;t pick up the baseball until it stopped rolling. And so I picked it up there. And from that point forward, I would throw my first pitch. My first warm-up pitch was pretty much from the landing area. Then I would walk up to the rubber and then get my, uh, my next seven warm-up pitches. And, uh, I couldn&#8217;t tell you where that came from. It was just one of those things, idiosyncrasies that I just started in and kept doing it. Something in your head, wanted the catcher to have you wanted the catcher to give it to you after you&#8217;d thrown a pitch? Well, yeah, after that is fine. Yeah. Once, once I&#8217;ve thrown the ball, I just mean you didn&#8217;t want to get it from the, from the manager&#8217;s hand. Correct, skip, go ahead and drop it. And he&#8217;s looking at me like &#8220;what? Just drop it&#8221; and whenever it stopped rolling that&#8217;s when I picked it up. That&#8217;s funny. Yeah, that&#8217;s a good one. All right. So it was just recently announced that you are taking over at the helm of the RoughRiders. And before that, I want to run down some things so that our audience kind of gets familiar with, with your history. Cause it&#8217;s a, it&#8217;s a good one. It&#8217;s a long one. It&#8217;s extensive, it&#8217;s extensive, but I&#8217;ll, I&#8217;ll be fast. So, um, you are a college player and then you jumped into coaching in &#8217;93 in the Marlin system, and I&#8217;m not going to cover all of it, obviously there&#8217;s a lot, but then you started your play-by-play world in the minors, uh, for the Newark Bears. And you were also a GM there. Then you went to the Diamondbacks and you had five seasons here for our Rangers. And then, uh, you were host on the MLB Network then 11 seasons. So the most recent was 11 seasons with the Angels in Anaheim. Wow. So you do love baseball, right? Yeah. A little bit of everything kind of grew up in it and, uh, fortunate to still be working in it. So, yeah, it&#8217;s one of those things where after playing it, after coaching a little bit, I thought the front office side was going to be my, my &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Yeah, thanks for coming in and talking to us. All right. Off the top here, before we get talking about some things I always like to do some icebreakers and I want to know a couple of your sports preferences. So if you had to tell me who your favorite athlete was, who would that be? Was, or still is? Uh, my favorite- well, my dad&#8217;s my favorite, my mentor, you know, having played 16 years in the big leagues, but as far as other players are concerned, Don Mattingly was probably when I was in college, had the most influence on me. I had the chance to meet him when my dad was managing the Angels in 1988. And, uh, from that point forward, he kind of became my guy. As a matter of fact, I named my daughter Mattingly after him. So, uh, yeah, he&#8217;s probably the one. And then Mike Trout now, currently, as far as current players is Yeah, I gotta get your Angels guys in there. Uh, what about sports movies?

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. And we have our friend, Suad Bejtovic with us. He&#8217;s going to school us on all things going on in the world of chess right now. So there&#8217;s actually a lot to talk about. I&#8217;m really excited. Suad, you have all the info for today. You&#8217;re going to, you&#8217;re going to kind of, you know, kind of drive this bus because you know all the good stuff all I&#8217;ve done is watch a documentary or two and played a few games of chess on my phone. You&#8217;re way ahead of me obviously. And so I want to hear about that. I want to hear your, your life in chess. And then, let&#8217;s talk about a couple of the pop culture things happening and why everybody else seems to be talking about chess lately too. Absolutely. I mean it&#8217;s kind of interesting to mention that, you know, your podcast is related to sports. So some might ask, you know, &#8220;Why are we talking about chess?&#8221; Is chess a sport?&#8221; And that&#8217;s like a question that we&#8217;re not going to touch these days, because it&#8217;s a very contentious one out there in the world. Even some of the best players out there say that chess is not really a sport because there&#8217;s not an athletic component. But then there&#8217;s research that says, you know, players lose five pounds you know, in the course of one game because of all the brain activity and calories that they burn just by thinking. So, you know, there are aspects of, of all of that. And definitely there&#8217;s a competition aspect which we&#8217;ll talk about quite a lot today I mean I do think it&#8217;s a sport. I don&#8217;t think all sports have to be physical. Right. There&#8217;s a lot of things that we do that we compete. I see it more of the competition side of it. Yeah. So, I mean, I don&#8217;t think, I, I&#8217;m not saying chess players are athletes, but I do think chess is a, is a sport. Yes. And it, it&#8217;s interesting, you mentioned that because in their preparation for the grueling schedule that they usually have, a lot of chess players actually watch what they eat. They exercise. I mean, they, they have to keep in shape simply because it actually, it requires so much effort mentally to, to play chess. All right so start us off with- I don&#8217;t know, like what, what&#8217;s the phenomenon lately that people like me who are- I wouldn&#8217;t even say I&#8217;m a casual chess player. Like I&#8217;m not even that, but you know, and this last year it&#8217;s on my radar. &#8211; So why is that? Well unfortunately one of the main reasons is because of the pandemic and a lot of people are just kind of stuck in their homes with not much to do. Right. however, before I get to that, I want to kind of rewind a few more years because over the last we&#8217;ll even say 5 to 10 years chess has been growing in popularity, especially on online streaming platforms, YouTube and Twitch in particular because it lends itself so good to online presentation. You have websites where you can play chess: chess.com and lichess.org are the most popular. And then all the best players in the world play on those chess sites. There are millions of other people all across the world who are members of those sites. So it&#8217;s actually relatively easy to just go online, pick up a game of chess and and play. In addition to all of that there&#8217;s been a surge of content creators which are usually really strong chess players in our last international masters or gen- grandmasters. And they put out videos where they talk about, I don&#8217;t know, a certain opening, or they maybe analyze a certain game, or they may be talk about a current event that might be going on in the world of chess. So chess has been kind of gaining steam especially last year. Chess.com in particular, the website, that&#8217;s probably the biggest one. They got a lot of chess personalities to kind of come on board and help them promote chess as a game. And it just exploded in popularity just because there were so many more people that, that were playing it. I see the irony there. This is a game that is played on a board, right? Traditionally, yes. For the last couple of thousand years, right? Yeah. So you go from this traditionally in-person, you know, one person, one person game on a board to what I&#8217;m hearing you say is now they&#8217;ve made it accessible because of making, making it digital and accessible. And they&#8217;ve just jumped on board with like getting in engagement from people online. So it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s made the leap Yeah, absolutely. And it&#8217;s kind of, again, unfortunate that you know, the regular chess &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. We have MMA Hall of Famer and former UFC title contender with us today. Chris Brennan, welcome and thanks for joining me. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. This is going to be a fun topic. I haven&#8217;t talked MMA before on this show, so this is gonna be great. All right. So just to start, I want to know a couple little quick things about you. In general, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Favorite athlete? Um, probably Georges St-Pierre. He&#8217;s, uh, he&#8217;s one&#8217;a multi-time MMA World Champion, UFC World Champion; phenomenal athlete. Michael Jordan also was, I was always a, not even a basketball fan, but always a Michael Jordan fan. It&#8217;s funny how you can be both, right? Because there&#8217;s so much more to Jordan than just, just the basketball, the legend, right? His abilities were, you know, incredible. For sure. So I have this funny thing going on where I ask my guests what their favorite sports movie is just &#8217;cause I&#8217;m curious. So what&#8217;s yours? Um, so honestly I&#8217;m pretty, pretty emotional person, so I love watching sports movies, the stories behind them. Um, Invincible, uh, with Mark Wahlberg is a football movie. Loved it. Um, there&#8217;s a lot of, um- Remember The Titans, you know, I&#8217;ve, I&#8217;ve tons of really good, uh, sports movies that I like to watch. And, and again, they&#8217;re not even sports that I play or played, but just the- I know what goes into being a professional athlete. So watching that, you know, watching, uh, the development and the emotional side of it&#8217;s pretty, uh, it&#8217;s pretty cool. It&#8217;s like the story, the challenges, the journey, right? Less, sometimes less about the actual sport. &#8216;Cause, &#8217;cause the sport inside the movie itself is usually not correct anyways. So it&#8217;s like if you&#8217;re sometimes when you&#8217;re really into the sport, you like it less because you notice all the inconsistencies. But, all right. So I read that you played traditional group sports as a kid, but then you, you obviously lean towards more individual sports. So, so why is that? Tell me about that. Um, I just feel like when you lose it&#8217;s on you, when you win, it&#8217;s pretty much on you. I mean, you have coaches and stuff as well, but, um, there&#8217;s no one else to blame. Like, you know, I played baseball for a few years. I played soccer. Um, and that might&#8217;ve been it at a young age. And then I got into gymnastics and surfing and bodybuilding and motocross and fighting. All of those are single person sports and they&#8217;re not team sports. And I think it was just felt like you work harder and don&#8217;t have to rely on anybody else. Yeah. So you&#8217;re from California. Yep. So when you&#8217;re growing up, talking about these things, obviously the, the surfing part was not a Frisco, Texas, uh, activity. Right. So those things, when you said like gymnastics, when you started transitioning those things sound like strength-based things also. Is that something that, because you&#8217;re not going individually- you&#8217;re not going and playing golf. You, you seem to lean towards these physical core strength, like types of activities. Yeah, it was definitely athletic. Um, I was little, but, but I was athletic growing up. I was also an adrenaline junkie. Liked to do, you know, a lot of the- well, I won&#8217;t jump out of an airplane, but other than that, I, I like to do the, you know, the extreme sports. That&#8217;s where you draw the line: jumping out of an airplane. For sure. I almost did once, but decided not to. So I heard or read also that you were inspired by watching, um, specifically UFC, uh, and I don&#8217;t want to say his name wrong, so I&#8217;ll let you, um, and you kind of jumped in and then started actually like training with this person that you watched and were inspired by. What, what, what happened? Royce Gracie. So the Gracie family brought the UFC here. They brought you Jiu-Jitsu to the United States and, um, they created the UFC to show Jiu-Jitsu versus other martial arts and how dominant it was. And this guy was 175 pounds fighting in the UFC that had no weight classes. And he was beating monsters, like, giant guys. And at the time I was bouncing at a, at a club, working security at a bar and saw this guy fighting, you know, getting paid, beating big guys. And so instantly the next day I started training and within probably the first six months I was training at his gym. Wow. That&#8217;s a pretty intense path to take. Yeah. It got more intense as it went on. I, I ended up a couple of years later &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. I feel like my guests and I have some similarities and maybe some similar personalities because I&#8217;ve read that people describe her as &#8220;passionate, loud, and outgoing.&#8221; So, welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro, Coach Katie Rudd. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. Yeah. I&#8217;m excited to talk to you. Um, I don&#8217;t know you well yet, but I&#8217;ve seen you coach and I&#8217;ve seen you in action. So I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m ready to talk about a little bit about that. Um, to get a taste of your sports palette though, tell me who who&#8217;s an athlete you look up to, or who&#8217;s your favorite or somebody who inspires you? So when I was growing up, I had a giant poster of Gabrielle Reece in my room, and some people probably don&#8217;t even know who that is, but she&#8217;s an older sand volleyball player. And, um, not so much that I love sand volleyball. It&#8217;s just that she was a volleyball phenom. And I just loved everything about volleyball from a very young age. But I would say somebody that I look up to is, um, Coach Karin Keeney. And she is at Hebron High School. I went to Lewisville High School and she was my, um, she came into, uh, Lewisville as, uh, when I was a junior. And so she came in with all sorts of rules and we were not really a huge fan of her, but then as we, um, got to know her a little bit more and as we became successful under her, she kind of became my role model. And as somebody that I look up to all the time. Still to this day, we, we talk and, and I enjoy, um, her knowledge. So you probably can&#8217;t help, but take some of the things that you experienced under her as you build programs. Oh, absolutely. Yes, absolutely. If, if you come into my gym and come into the, her gym, you&#8217;ll see. Um, some of the similarities. We, I definitely knew that she was successful from Day 1. I knew that, um, there were some things that I wanted to take. I actually did my student teaching under her as well. And so I was able to, um, not only play under her, but then coach under her or assist under her and then, um, you know, just continue to, uh, pick and choose the things that I think would be successful, um, with our athletes. So, um, you&#8217;re at a school now where you built the volleyball program from nothing, right, brand new school? But then before that you were at Liberty here in Frisco. And was the program already there? You didn&#8217;t open that school either, did ya? So, um, the first year that Liberty opened, they were at Fowler Middle School. And I was not there that year, but then the following year, I, um, I helped opened up Liberty High School. So I was, well, I was there with, um, Coach Womble and I was her Varsity assistant. And so we got to move into that building brand new and start fresh. They, uh, and I worked under, uh, Coach Womble for a really long time as well. I always think that&#8217;s so interesting. Um, as a parent of a kid, um, about, you know, going to, uh, one of the newer high schools in town, um &#8211; which I think there&#8217;s some really good pros to that: you&#8217;re in an awesome new building. It&#8217;s clean and everything&#8217;s new and you know, it&#8217;s nice, um &#8211; but then I always worried, like how are they going to build strong sports programs in any kind of quick manner? Like &#8220;new&#8221; might just be &#8220;bad&#8221; for a few years and that&#8217;s fine. But, um, as a, as a coach, is that something that you guys had to think about a lot is how do you quickly build bonds and traditions and programs that are taken seriously? So that was something that was talked about a lot. And, um, luckily our athletic administration, um, had us, um, talking about that early on and, um, Coach Cole and I, we sat down and talked a lot about what we want our programs to look like, and not only our programs, but we want what we want really athletics to be. And opening up with Karen LeCocq as our principals did a phenomenal job of guiding us and, um, kind of allowing us to, uh, pave the road of kind of where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. And so it was nerv- or I &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. And we have a guest in the studio today. And let&#8217;s just say only one of us can say that we have a- run track and field at a D1 college and fought through a debilitating diagnosis and was also once a bikini athlete pro. And that is not me. That would be Mariele Landrom. Hi, welcome. Thank you. Did I say your first name, right: Mariele? Dang it. Mariele. See, I&#8217;m- your Coach Landrom. Yeah, I know. It&#8217;s fine. To me. So I never say Mariele. So Mariele Landrom, I&#8217;m excited to have you here. Thanks for having me. Yeah I&#8217;ve known you probably a few years now. You coached my daughter. Uh, so few years, yeah. So now I want to know more about your story, just to kind of, uh, let me know a little bit about your, your sports flavor. So what, what athlete would you say is your favorite or most inspirational to watch? Uh, so of course, track and field is my sport. So I&#8217;m going to have to go with Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Um, she is from East St. Louis. I&#8217;m from St. Louis. So, um, just being kind of a hometown hero. Um, she was a hipcathlete and so she competed in a lot of different events. And so to me, she was just a woman of, you know, many facets of track and field, not just sprints, but she could do multiple things. So growing up, she was definitely someone, um, that I definitely admired and had an opportunity to actually meet. Oh, really? Yes. Oh, that&#8217;s neat. Yeah. She&#8217;s one of those names that, just, is like synonymous with track and field and like, I don&#8217;t know. I think I was really young when she was probably out there competing, but I don&#8217;t know. I feel like I can just see that, that form. Like, she&#8217;s a unique body too, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you mentioned track, so it&#8217;s a big part of your life. So tell me about what that looked like growing up. Like when did you start getting into track and, and what was your college experience like? So it&#8217;s actually funny. I just, uh, I had a conversation with my dad and he was like, &#8220;we didn&#8217;t even know you could run.&#8221; So it started with Girl Scouts and they had, you know, the badges that you have to earn. So, um, it was called a &#8220;Strider&#8217;s Badge&#8221;. And so during that time, like you had different running events, like long jump and just some different, well, standing broad jump was what I think they called it. Um, and so my dad put me out there and of course I&#8217;m like running and he&#8217;s like, &#8220;Whoa, she&#8217;s like really, really fast.&#8221; And so that kind of kick-started it. Because he was like, &#8220;She has some talent, like, she&#8217;s good.&#8221; And, um, one of our church members was out there watching and supporting me and they were like, &#8220;Hey, let&#8217;s get her out in summer track.&#8221; And so that&#8217;s kind of when my track career started. So I was six years old at the time when I started to run track and it was just kind of a finding that I had a hidden talent and once my dad put me out there on a track, I really fell in love with it. You know, it kind of fit my personality, um, of just being by myself and being out there, you know, just, just running. Yeah. All right. So you started young then, um, I&#8217;m guessing you ran all through high school, cause I know you went to a D1 school to run track. Yeah. So pretty much after that, um, I ran summer track every year, AIU summer track. And then in middle school we had like a little bit little track team and then obviously in high school, um, I ran track for my high school and then, um, went on to go to Tennessee State University &#8211; actually where my dad graduated from. So it was his Alma Mater and, um, I just kinda wanted a different experience. It was HBCU, my, um, coach. She was an Olympian, Chandra Cheeseborough. So just to go to a school with such a rich history of being a Tigerbelle, they have the most Olympians, um, in the USA. So it was pretty awesome to be able to be under her and just take my track and field career to the next level. Yeah. That&#8217;s some serious coaching. Was that your focus in high school or did you do other sports? So really that was my main focus. It was, it was track. Um, I kind &#8230;]]></description>

So, um, it was called a &#8220;Strider&#8217;s Badge&#8221;. And so during that time, like you had different running events, like long jump and just some different, well, standing broad jump was what I think they called it. Um, and so my dad put me out there and of course I&#8217;m like running and he&#8217;s like, &#8220;Whoa, she&#8217;s like really, really fast.&#8221; And so that kind of kick-started it. Because he was like, &#8220;She has some talent, like, she&#8217;s good.&#8221; And, um, one of our church members was out there watching and supporting me and they were like, &#8220;Hey, let&#8217;s get her out in summer track.&#8221; And so that&#8217;s kind of when my track career started. So I was six years old at the time when I started to run track and it was just kind of a finding that I had a hidden talent and once my dad put me out there on a track, I really fell in love with it. You know, it kind of fit my personality, um, of just being by myself and being out there, you know, just, just running. Yeah. All right. So you started young then, um, I&#8217;m guessing you ran all through high school, cause I know you went to a D1 school to run track. Yeah. So pretty much after that, um, I ran summer track every year, AIU summer track. And then in middle school we had like a little bit little track team and then obviously in high school, um, I ran track for my high school and then, um, went on to go to Tennessee State University &#8211; actually where my dad graduated from. So it was his Alma Mater and, um, I just kinda wanted a different experience. It was HBCU, my, um, coach. She was an Olympian, Chandra Cheeseborough. So just to go to a school with such a rich history of being a Tigerbelle, they have the most Olympians, um, in the USA. So it was pretty awesome to be able to be under her and just take my track and field career to the next level. Yeah. That&#8217;s some serious coaching. Was that your focus in high school or did you do other sports? So really that was my main focus. It was, it was track. Um, I kind &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

So what, what athlete would you say is your favorite or most inspirational to watch? Uh, so of course, track and field is my sport. So I&#8217;m going to have to go with Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Um, she is from East St. Louis. I&#8217;m from St. Louis. So, um, just being kind of a hometown hero. Um, she was a hipcathlete and so she competed in a lot of different events. And so to me, she was just a woman of, you know, many facets of track and field, not just sprints, but she could do multiple things. So growing up, she was definitely someone, um, that I definitely admired and had an opportunity to actually meet. Oh, really? Yes. Oh, that&#8217;s neat. Yeah. She&#8217;s one of those names that, just, is like synonymous with track and field and like, I don&#8217;t know. I think I was really young when she was probably out there competing, but I don&#8217;t know. I feel like I can just see that, that form. Like, she&#8217;s a unique body too, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you mentioned track, so it&#8217;s a big part of your life. So tell me about what that looked like growing up. Like when did you start getting into track and, and what was your college experience like? So it&#8217;s actually funny. I just, uh, I had a conversation with my dad and he was like, &#8220;we didn&#8217;t even know you could run.&#8221; So it started with Girl Scouts and they had, you know, the badges that you have to earn.

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers, and entrepreneurs from Pee Wee League to pro. Now, here&#8217;s your host: Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. I&#8217;m your host, Kelly Walker. And I have a special guest hosting with me today. So normally we make some new year&#8217;s resolutions, but I thought it would be fun to make some new year&#8217;s predictions this time around. And some of our best predictors are some of our youngest sports fans. So, home from break, I&#8217;ve got my son, Jack Walker. Welcome, Jack. Hi, thanks for having me. Well, I&#8217;m excited to hear from you and hear your thoughts on what 2021 is going to look like for sports. All right. So we have a couple of categories and I&#8217;ve also in addition to asking you, Jack, to give me your opinion I&#8217;ve also asked a couple of our past Hustle &#38; Pro guests that were in here in 2020, um, to give us some feedback. So we&#8217;ll pop their answers in also, all right. You ready to get started? Yes, it&#8217;s January 1st when we&#8217;re recording this. So we already know a couple things like the NBA has already tipped off and is well underway, and it looks a little different than last year&#8217;s crazy unexpected bubble year. So I&#8217;m wondering: overall, Jack, do you think the NBA will make it through their full 72-game season kind of as planned with this non-bubble scenario? Or do you think they&#8217;ll have any kind of stop-&#38;-play? I think that like, cause they got to the end of the season last year, but they were in a bubble and they&#8217;re not in a bubble this year. So I think that if someone gets a COVID case, they&#8217;re just going to sit them out for that game kind of like the NFL is doing. Um, and then I think they&#8217;re going to get through the season. What do you think about the Mavs though in 2021? Um, I think the Mavs are going to have a good season because they had a good season last year and Kristaps Porziņģis is about to come back. Um, it looks like they&#8217;re gonna have a good season. Let&#8217;s talk about NFL and the Super Bowl. I asked Tony Graham. He is a Hustle &#38; Pro guest from the summer. I asked him his opinion. Uh, Tony, do you think the Super Bowl will still happen as planned in early February? You know, I still do. And the reason that I do is because there has been a lot of different teams that have had to cancel games and move games around because so many players have tested positive for COVID. Uh, they&#8217;re still following protocol as far as not having fans in the stands. And a lot of those, a lot of those, um, cities and towns, but for the fact that we&#8217;re in one week, uh, 13 or something like that now the NFL and they&#8217;re still continue to, uh, move along. Uh, I believe that they&#8217;re still gonna have the Super Bowl as scheduled. Um, I think if they were going to make any changes or push that out, they probably would have already made decisions league-wide as far as how they would continue the rest of the season. And for the fact that, um, you know, week after week, we still have football games going on, even if they do get pushed, um, you know, a week aside from, uh, you know, something related to COVID, uh, they&#8217;re still playing those games. And so, yeah, I believe that it will still go on as planned. Plus, there&#8217;s a lot of money involved when you&#8217;re talking about a Super Bowl and you know, all the other, um, vendors, the TV and all, everything that&#8217;s involved with that, uh, billion dollar business. Uh, I believe it will still go on as schedule. So Jack, what about you? Do you see anything wacky or crazy happening that will affect the Super Bowl? Um, it could definitely happen, but I feel like if your team makes the Super Bowl, you&#8217;ll be very careful, um, to like not get COVID and stuff. And then I think my prediction for the two teams that are going to be in the Super Bowl are the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs Sounds good. That sounds like a good game. Who would be your, your pick to win? I think that the Packers should win the Super Bowl. You think we&#8217;d- you think that we&#8217;d get a new Super Bowl champion? Yes. Not your Mahomes? Yes. I think that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will win the Super Bowl this year. Okay. Well, I noticed you didn&#8217;t mention the Dallas Cowboys, which &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And in this episode, we are chatting with Sandy Tutwiler from Tutor Doctor. Sandy, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thanks for having us. You bet. It&#8217;s good to have you here. And I think this is a very timely opportunity to chat with you about tutoring, the needs of students and all those things that are kind of happening in the age of COVID that have parents concerned, worked up, uh, trying to figure out what the best answer for their, their child, maybe. So before we get into all of that, um, tell us a little bit about Tutor Doctor and how you got started in doing this business. Tutor Doctor&#8217;s been around globally for about 20 years. Um, we tutor all over the world. Um, there are about 350 franchises all over the world and we are here in the United States and actually here Frisco-McKinney. Um, we&#8217;ve been in the area for about 10 years. And so we&#8217;ve been partnering with the Frisco and McKinney schools, primarily, for the last 10 years, um, offering one-on-one private tutoring solutions for kids primarily, um, K-12. Okay. So K-12, you covered the pretty much the whole gauntlet of school there. So you say you&#8217;ve been in the Frisco-McKinney area for about 10 years. And is it all one-on-one tutoring or do you have any group tutoring? How does, what kind of, what, tell us about the services you offer and what parents can expect if they come to work with you guys? We started out one-on-one tutoring and that&#8217;s been the bread and butter for the last book of, of the tutoring years, um, or the- while we&#8217;ve been in business. Um, we started group tutoring and group tutoring really came about in the year of COVID and pandemic where we would offer families who wanted to do social learning, or they wanted to take the virtual learning options that were offered in school and really condense them to smaller groups and, and offer the option of reteaching lessons that were offered in the school virtually or even doing homeschooling options for some children, but with the social aspect tied in. So we do do some group tutoring, but we asked families to form their own groups because we don&#8217;t want to be responsible for bringing people together that may not mesh well or may not, you know, be in the same circle of especially now, um, they&#8217;re kind of their pandemic circles, their quarantine circles. Um, and that&#8217;s worked out really well for us. So we do offer group tutoring had in the past more so now than ever before. Okay. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Is, is everything purely online right now or are you doing some in-person tutoring as well? We are actually doing about 85% of the tutoring that we&#8217;re doing is actually in person. Only about 15% is online, which is remarkable considering where we&#8217;ve come. In March, we went 100% online. And at the end of July, we started offering in-person solutions again, taking into consideration families that needed to stay. We, we wear masks. We, uh, don&#8217;t sit right next to each other anymore. We sit more across the table from each other. We&#8217;re still social-distancing, but we&#8217;re do- we&#8217;re tutoring one-on-one in home in a very safe way. There were a few families as this summer that asked us to tutor outside. Um, and so we would tutor on a patio, a covered patio with the fan, but once it became a little safer and as things have progressed, we have moved into the home. Okay. So I guess that&#8217;s an interesting question, too. Does all the tutoring that is in person happened at the home or do people come to you? We actually don&#8217;t have any brick and mortar. Um, why we took off is that we&#8217;re a very boutique solution that comes to you. It&#8217;s one less errand that the parent has to run in running their children to and from tutoring. So we wanted to make it as convenient as possible for parents. Um, and also, you know, students learn better where they&#8217;re most comfortable and they&#8217;re most comfortable in their home. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. And I&#8217;m sure parents would be happy to have one less errand to run or to take their kids. Uh, well speaking of the kids. I know one of the things we&#8217;ve heard a lot about is kids falling behind, or at least parents being concerned about their kids falling behind where we&#8217;ve had, when we&#8217;ve had so much virtual learning.; it&#8217;s just not quite the same as in-person. Uh, what are you guys seeing on that front and has that been a boost for you guys to try to help keep kids aligned with where they should be? We are seeing some kids falling behind, not everyone. Um, but some. And what we&#8217;re seeing is that, um, the kids that have fallen behind are a little bit further in math than they are in reading. So, you know, &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host Scott Ellis. In this episode, we are having a chat with Dr. Jay Woody, the founder of Legacy ER. And we&#8217;re going to talk a little bit about Legacy ER and the topic of the day, COVID. So, Dr. Woody, welcome to the Frisco Podcast. Thank you for having me. Excited to be here today. Thank you, good to have you here. Um, obviously with everything going on, there&#8217;s a lot to talk about, particularly around COVID. Uh, but before we get into that, I wanted to talk specifically about Legacy ER. That is a business that you started. It&#8217;s something that I would call a &#8220;Frisco success story.&#8221; Um, but why did you start Legacy ER, and uh, how long have you guys been in business now? So, my background is I&#8217;m Board-Certified in Emergency Medicine. Uh, worked in the traditional hospital, big hospital, ER settings. Uh, spent, uh, all my formative years down at Parkland Hospital, our level-one trauma center here in Dallas. And then sort of moved out to some other hospitals that most of you be familiar with in the community. And what, what, uh, I really saw was the patient experience was, was typically lacking and there also were a lot of patients that were coming through the emergency department. They didn&#8217;t actually need to be in the ER. They needed acute care, but they didn&#8217;t need emergency services. And what was happening is those patients that needed acute care, but not necessarily emergency care, they were being penalized financially by the big bills that we all know come out of the emergency department. And so, sort of taking my, my sort of passion of improving the patient experience and also, uh, including that billing experience as well. That&#8217;s really the genesis of where Legacy ER &#38; Urgent Care, you know, came, came from. And we opened our doors in August of 2008. Uh, back when Frisco was just a tiny, tiny little arm town, um, which, uh, for those of you that were here then, or remember, you know, it was pretty much a bunch of dirt fields where we opened up our original location on Main and Legacy. And, uh, obviously things have changed in the last, you know, 12+ years. And now of course we&#8217;re surrounded by retail there and where we don&#8217;t have farm fields around us anymore, but it&#8217;s been very, very exciting. We now have two locations in Frisco and a total of six locations here in the North Dallas area. Uh, we, we&#8217;ve also been blessed to, uh, have a sort of success story that&#8217;s very Frisco-centric and we now have, uh, additional two facilities in New Mexico, uh, three facilities in Indiana and, uh, one facility with another one soon-to-open in Florida. So, uh, really, you know, I live in Frisco, been here for about 16 years. And so this is, I I believe as a Frisco-success story and I&#8217;m excited to still be here and, and intimately involved with the business and care for the people of Frisco. Well, good. And we&#8217;re glad to have you here and thank you for opening those up. I know that early on, when we first started chatting with you, you wrote an article for Lifestyle Frisco about the difference between the different kinds of urgent care facilities, and hopefully I&#8217;m broadly classifying those. There&#8217;s ER, like Legacy ER, but then there are other types of facilities that are also, I guess, urgent care, but the way they operate and the way they bill are kind of different. Yeah. So, so I think, you know, I think we all understand the traditional hospital-based emergency room and we know how they bill. Is it&#8217;s it&#8217;s ER billing. Uh, and then sort of in 2000 about 2010, um, there became this trend of freestanding ERs, which I think, again, a lot of us probably saw the, the rise and sort of the fall of those. Those facilities where emergency rooms outside of a hospital, but they also only did emergency billings regardless of what type of care or level of care that you needed. It was emergency billing. So for example, if you just had a simple strep throat, they could definitely handle that, but it&#8217;s gonna, it&#8217;s gonna cost ya, you know, at least a thousand plus dollars for that. Um, and so the difference in what our model does is we have urgent-care billing for those minor problems such as strep throat. And we have ER billing for those cases that typically would have to only be cared for in a hospital emergency room. So for example, people needing a CT or cat scans, sort of advanced labs or imaging. Uh, normally you have to go to the hospital to get that, but with our model, you can use those levels of service. As well as if you don&#8217;t need those then you&#8217;re not going to pay that emergency bill. You&#8217;re going to have to lower urgent-care billing. So that, that is what is unique about our model and, and, and, you know, makes us sort of sets us apart. And obviously that&#8217;s good for patients because healthcare is super expensive. So you, you really only, only want &#8230;]]></description>

Uh, we, we&#8217;ve also been blessed to, uh, have a sort of success story that&#8217;s very Frisco-centric and we now have, uh, additional two facilities in New Mexico, uh, three facilities in Indiana and, uh, one facility with another one soon-to-open in Florida. So, uh, really, you know, I live in Frisco, been here for about 16 years. And so this is, I I believe as a Frisco-success story and I&#8217;m excited to still be here and, and intimately involved with the business and care for the people of Frisco. Well, good. And we&#8217;re glad to have you here and thank you for opening those up. I know that early on, when we first started chatting with you, you wrote an article for Lifestyle Frisco about the difference between the different kinds of urgent care facilities, and hopefully I&#8217;m broadly classifying those. There&#8217;s ER, like Legacy ER, but then there are other types of facilities that are also, I guess, urgent care, but the way they operate and the way they bill are kind of different. Yeah. So, so I think, you know, I think we all understand the traditional hospital-based emergency room and we know how they bill. Is it&#8217;s it&#8217;s ER billing. Uh, and then sort of in 2000 about 2010, um, there became this trend of freestanding ERs, which I think, again, a lot of us probably saw the, the rise and sort of the fall of those. Those facilities where emergency rooms outside of a hospital, but they also only did emergency billings regardless of what type of care or level of care that you needed. It was emergency billing. So for example, if you just had a simple strep throat, they could definitely handle that, but it&#8217;s gonna, it&#8217;s gonna cost ya, you know, at least a thousand plus dollars for that. Um, and so the difference in what our model does is we have urgent-care billing for those minor problems such as strep throat. And we have ER billing for those cases that typically would have to only be cared for in a hospital emergency room. So for example, people needing a CT or cat scans, sort of advanced labs or imaging. Uh, normally you have to go to the hospital to get that, but with our model, you can use those levels of service. As well as if you don&#8217;t need those then you&#8217;re not going to pay that emergency bill. You&#8217;re going to have to lower urgent-care billing. So that, that is what is unique about our model and, and, and, you know, makes us sort of sets us apart. And obviously that&#8217;s good for patients because healthcare is super expensive. So you, you really only, only want &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host Scott Ellis. In this episode, we are having a chat with Dr. Jay Woody, the founder of Legacy ER. And we&#8217;re going to talk a little bit about Legacy ER and the topic of the day, COVID. So, Dr. Woody, welcome to the Frisco Podcast. Thank you for having me. Excited to be here today. Thank you, good to have you here. Um, obviously with everything going on, there&#8217;s a lot to talk about, particularly around COVID. Uh, but before we get into that, I wanted to talk specifically about Legacy ER. That is a business that you started. It&#8217;s something that I would call a &#8220;Frisco success story.&#8221; Um, but why did you start Legacy ER, and uh, how long have you guys been in business now? So, my background is I&#8217;m Board-Certified in Emergency Medicine. Uh, worked in the traditional hospital, big hospital, ER settings. Uh, spent, uh, all my formative years down at Parkland Hospital, our level-one trauma center here in Dallas. And then sort of moved out to some other hospitals that most of you be familiar with in the community. And what, what, uh, I really saw was the patient experience was, was typically lacking and there also were a lot of patients that were coming through the emergency department. They didn&#8217;t actually need to be in the ER. They needed acute care, but they didn&#8217;t need emergency services. And what was happening is those patients that needed acute care, but not necessarily emergency care, they were being penalized financially by the big bills that we all know come out of the emergency department. And so, sort of taking my, my sort of passion of improving the patient experience and also, uh, including that billing experience as well. That&#8217;s really the genesis of where Legacy ER &#38; Urgent Care, you know, came, came from. And we opened our doors in August of 2008. Uh, back when Frisco was just a tiny, tiny little arm town, um, which, uh, for those of you that were here then, or remember, you know, it was pretty much a bunch of dirt fields where we opened up our original location on Main and Legacy. And, uh, obviously things have changed in the last, you know, 12+ years. And now of course we&#8217;re surrounded by retail there and where we don&#8217;t have farm fields around us anymore, but it&#8217;s been very, very exciting. We now have two locations in Frisco and a total of six locations here in the North Dallas area. Uh, we, we&#8217;ve also been blessed to, uh, have a sort of success story that&#8217;s very Frisco-centric and we now have, uh, additional two facilities in New Mexico, uh, three facilities in Indiana and, uh, one facility with another one soon-to-open in Florida.

We have Josh Dill as our guest today. If you don&#8217;t know him by name, I promise you you know some of the work that he&#8217;s done, uh, because if you&#8217;ve been to or seen or heard of any sporting events in Frisco, Texas, Josh was probably involved in it. So, welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro, Josh. Thanks for having me. Yeah. Thanks for coming on. Let&#8217;s start with a couple of icebreakers, um, to get to know you a little better. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Um, well it really, Kobe Bryant was my favorite athlete. I mean, I was, uh, my screen name on AOL back in the day was KB82cool. Oh, wow. Which is really embarrassing, but, uh, yeah, it was, uh, I was a Kobe fan from the very beginning. That&#8217;s awesome. Uh, what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? We just did an episode discussing this for a while. So I&#8217;m curious, what is your favorite? Oh, man, I love sports movies. Um, the one that like rings the most, uh, true for me I guess, is Slap Shot. So, uh, I started working in minor league hockey and it was just kind of that, it reminds me of that time where a franchise was really struggling to survive. So it was just that old school hockey movie. But, uh, man, I watch a lot of sports movies, but, uh, that, one&#8217;s probably the one that, that hits closest to home. Awesome, yeah. I, I don&#8217;t know that one. I mean, I know the movie, but I can&#8217;t think of like watching it myself, but, um, it didn&#8217;t, it wasn&#8217;t on our, on our top list discussion. So I&#8217;ll have to add that to our, to our list. Yeah, it&#8217;s probably not as mainstream and for somebody in Texas, I mean, hockey wasn&#8217;t big back whenever Slap Shot came out, but uh, you know, just the guy trying to sell the skates and, you know, selling everything you can to try to make it through the season. That was my last first year in minor league hockey. So it&#8217;s just, uh, I felt it really deep. Yeah. Minor-league-anything you feel those pains of trying to get, get a season, get through a season. Um, so this might be a tough question, but what&#8217;s your favorite sport? And sometimes we break this down, like what&#8217;s your favorite sport for you yourself to play or do versus what&#8217;s your favorite to watch if you&#8217;re watching someone? Sure. I mean, I, my favorite sport to watch is probably hockey, um, which is funny, cause I never played it. Uh, I&#8217;d skated the other day and it hurt pretty bad. Um, I mean I was a better basketball player in high school. I was all-district my senior year, which didn&#8217;t really mean much because I was at a small school, but, uh, that was just, I, the game of basketball is, is my favorite X&#8217;s-and-O&#8217;s-type thing. All right. So basketball in high school and hockey, what else did you do? Like what&#8217;s your, your sports snapshot look like when you go back and see what all the things you did? Yeah. I mean, I played a bunch of different sports. The only thing I really didn&#8217;t play was baseball a whole lot. I&#8217;ve played some T-ball and stuff, but I played Little Dribblers&#8217; Basketball and I was, uh, a power tumbler, tumbling and trampoline person for 10 years which, uh, looking at me now, you probably wouldn&#8217;t think that, um, Okay, I wanna, like, that&#8217;s fascinating to me. Okay. So I grew up a gymnast, so power tumbling and, and, um, what was the other thing you called it? T&#38;T, tumbling and trampoline. Tumbling and trampoline. Okay. So in my world there wasn&#8217;t those spinoff pieces and focuses. It was just, you were a gymnast or you weren&#8217;t. Right? Sure. And then, you know, in your backyard you were good at trampoline or you were good at tumbling when you, when I got older and moved into the cheer world a little more. So then, um, where are you from, first of all? I grew up out in West Texas. Uh, &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro, Season 2, talking sports and Frisco from youth to pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. So, basketball off season came and went really fast. So, we&#8217;re jumping back in. So, we&#8217;re going to talk about the start of the NBA season coming up here on the 22nd. And we&#8217;ve got Jay Warren in here to chat basketball with us. Hey, Jay. Welcome. Hey, thank you for having me. Yeah. All right. Let&#8217;s- off the top. Let&#8217;s start with a couple of quick hits, &#8217;cause I want to know a couple of your sports favorites and things. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Oh, that&#8217;s MJ, the GOAT. Yeah. MJ is definitely my favorite player. I mean, I, I mean, yeah, I would put him on top of everybody, just, in my lifetime. I know all the younger people are talking about LeBron. And I respect his greatness; but, definitely MJ. Oh, that&#8217;s a whole &#8216;nother- okay, I&#8217;m going to write down. Let&#8217;s talk LeBron in a minute once we get talking because that&#8217;s a whole &#8216;nother thing. &#8216;Cause here as we record, LeBron just extended his Lakers contract. So, we can tell, we can talk about that for 20 minutes. Um, all right. So, uh, I just did an episode on sports movies and I asked all my guests, what was your favorite sports movie? What is yours? Oh, recently, it had to be The Last Dance. Um, uh, that, right there, gave the insights, the, you know, back scenes. You know, we were, we were talking about it off-air. I mean, that was- I would definitely put the last dance up there now. Yeah, for sure. So good. Yeah. It was really good. I was watching it, just amazed at, like, I&#8217;m thinking, &#8220;How did they get all this footage and hold onto it this long?&#8221; Right? Like, how did they not release something earlier? Which, I&#8217;m sure, I mean, I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s a whole fascinating thing just to hear about that. Yeah, MJ definitely had something to do with that. It&#8217;s crazy. It was awesome. It was, and then it&#8217;s like, how did they also know we&#8217;re all going to be home? Well, they didn&#8217;t know that part, I don&#8217;t think. But, it was perfect timing when they released it. But, I know prior to that season they were talking about, you know, cause they said in the documentary, like, &#8220;This is gonna be the last dance.&#8221; So, they wanted to record everything. Yeah. I mean, I didn&#8217;t know, was going to be 20 years later before we going to be able to experience it. Right. It&#8217;s just, like, you can&#8217;t recreate that. So cool. All right. So, my last question I used to ask on my first year of this show: what, how far did people travel for sports to watch sports or to play sports? And I&#8217;m resurrecting the question for you because it&#8217;ll bring us into talking about your basketball career. So, what&#8217;s the farthest you&#8217;ve gone to play sports? Oh, that&#8217;s a- so, to play, so, I&#8217;ve played in China and I played in Australia. I have no idea which one is farther. I have no idea which one&#8217;s further- Me neither. Yeah. But, they&#8217;re both far. I know the farthest flight was from Sydney to Dallas and that was like a 15, 16-hour flight. Wow. Straight. Yeah. Straight flight where you fall asleep, you wake up, and you&#8217;re still on the plane. You, you hope you were just dreaming and that you were already home. Yeah. You know, you try to sleep some of the time away and you look at it. It&#8217;s like been 30 minutes. Yeah. It was one of those flights. Yeah. All right. So then, tell me about your, your career as an athlete. Um, I&#8217;m also curious what, like growing up, did you play lots of sports? But then, take us through your, like, your professional basketball career and where&#8217;d you play, and when did you play. So, football was my first sport. Um, you know, I played, you know, I guess- do they say, still say pee wee? I don&#8217;t know if they say pee wee or not. I do. But it&#8217;s- okay, there you go. I&#8217;m telling my agent when I say &#8220;pee wee.&#8221; Um, you know, through middle school- uh, firstly, I think my high school is when I basically stopped, &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And on this episode, we are bringing back Mary Von Ahnen from Horizon Hot Yoga. And, uh, Mary, how are ya? Feeling great, thanks. I know it&#8217;s been a year or so since we had a chance to sit down and talk and, oh, certainly a lot has happened, especially in 2020. So, uh, wanted to kind of catch up with you and hear what&#8217;s new at the studio and what you guys have going on. Yeah, so we, um, we&#8217;re so fortunate that we are still growing. Um, obviously we&#8217;re very limited in our class sizes since we have to, you know, keep the social distancing. But we, we get new students every week. So, there are people right now who want to take yoga. Um, and we&#8217;re excited about that. How are you guys handling most of your classes? Is it, are you doing able to do some in-person or is it all virtual or how is it kind of breaking down right now? No, I guess when we look at the positives of COVID, which sometimes is hard to do, one of the things that it forced us to do was to redesign our business model so that we could offer online classes. And we still do offer online, um, almost every day of the week. I think we have six, um, six online classes. But, almost all of our classes are in person. They&#8217;re just, like I said, very limited in size. And we have a huge cleaning protocol, you know? People need to wear masks until they&#8217;re on their mat, because once they&#8217;re on their mat, they, they&#8217;re socially distanced. Our rooms are taped so that your mat is separated, your body is separated from the next person. There&#8217;s been a change. Yeah. I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s been a little bit of an adjustment for you as it has been for a lot of Frisco businesses. Um, I know one of the things we talked about the last time was that you guys were pretty big on was visiting, uh, instructors. Uh, you&#8217;d have, you know, special- people who were specialists or have competed and done very well, that would come through and do certain types of classes or certain things for you, guys. Is there anything like that that we have to look forward to? Yeah, definitely. Um, so we- Hot 26, which is the classic Bikram yoga, uh, has been our fastest-growing and most successful format. Um, most of our classes these days completely sell out, uh, with the limited capacity, of course. And we are having two visiting teachers, one in February and one in April, who are coming to do, um, some workshops around the basic beginner series that we offer and also intermediate and advanced, um, because we have not, so far, offered intermediate and advanced as classes. But, this will give the students a chance to try on the more-advanced style and see if they like it. And then, they like it, we like it; bring it on. So we&#8217;re really excited about that and also just about the growth of that format, in general. And then, you know, we&#8217;ve tried to kind of supplant with the inability to bring on visiting teachers from around the world. We&#8217;ve challenged our own teacher community to step up with their own talent, um, which is considerable. And so, they&#8217;re offering their own workshops, which have been very successful. We, I guess two or three weeks ago, we had a handstand/forearm stand workshop that was, um, oversold. So we, uh, our own teachers have been able to bring a little bit of what we used to be able to do with visiting teachers. Yeah, I know you guys have some exceptional teachers that are there on a regular basis. The Handstand Workshop sounds interesting. Uh, what, what is the, you know, for those of us that maybe are still very, uh beginner-level, what is the, the, the advantage of doing something like a Handstand Workshop? Why would I want to go do that? What am I learning there? A lot of the more advanced practitioners do incorporate handstands into their practice. It&#8217;s very common. So, this workshop was just designed if you are interested in learning how to incorporate handstands, headstands, forearm stands into your practice, but haven&#8217;t done it, yet. This workshop was designed to show you how to do that with hand placement, with shoulder-stretching, et cetera. And if you already had handstands, headstands incorporated, it just gave you a few extra tips. And it&#8217;s totally a choice. I mean, there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s nothing in our dialogue that our teachers give that force people to try to do a handstand if they&#8217;re not ready for that. But, there&#8217;s certain places in every class where a teacher will suggest, &#8220;If you have a handstand practice, you can take your handstands now.&#8221; Would you consider that as a part of someone&#8217;s practice to be intermediate or advanced, or is it something that beginners can also incorporate? Oh, I think beginners can absolutely incorporate it. It&#8217;s, you know, it&#8217;s um, and &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And on this episode, we are bringing back Mary Von Ahnen from Horizon Hot Yoga. And, uh, Mary, how are ya? Feeling great, thanks. I know it&#8217;s been a year or so since we had a chance to sit down and talk and, oh, certainly a lot has happened, especially in 2020. So, uh, wanted to kind of catch up with you and hear what&#8217;s new at the studio and what you guys have going on. Yeah, so we, um, we&#8217;re so fortunate that we are still growing. Um, obviously we&#8217;re very limited in our class sizes since we have to, you know, keep the social distancing. But we, we get new students every week. So, there are people right now who want to take yoga. Um, and we&#8217;re excited about that. How are you guys handling most of your classes? Is it, are you doing able to do some in-person or is it all virtual or how is it kind of breaking down right now? No, I guess when we look at the positives of COVID, which sometimes is hard to do, one of the things that it forced us to do was to redesign our business model so that we could offer online classes. And we still do offer online, um, almost every day of the week. I think we have six, um, six online classes. But, almost all of our classes are in person. They&#8217;re just, like I said, very limited in size. And we have a huge cleaning protocol, you know? People need to wear masks until they&#8217;re on their mat, because once they&#8217;re on their mat, they, they&#8217;re socially distanced. Our rooms are taped so that your mat is separated, your body is separated from the next person. There&#8217;s been a change. Yeah. I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s been a little bit of an adjustment for you as it has been for a lot of Frisco businesses. Um, I know one of the things we talked about the last time was that you guys were pretty big on was visiting, uh, instructors. Uh, you&#8217;d have, you know, special- people who were specialists or have competed and done very well, that would come through and do certain types of classes or certain things for you, guys. Is there anything like that that we have to look forward to? Yeah, definitely. Um, so we- Hot 26, which is the classic Bikram yoga, uh, has been our fastest-growing and most successful format. Um, most of our classes these days completely sell out, uh, with the limited capacity, of course. And we are having two visiting teachers, one in February and one in April, who are coming to do, um, some workshops around the basic beginner series that we offer and also intermediate and advanced, um, because we have not, so far, offered intermediate and advanced as classes. But, this will give the students a chance to try on the more-advanced style and see if they like it. And then, they like it, we like it; bring it on. So we&#8217;re really excited about that and also just about the growth of that format, in general. And then, you know, we&#8217;ve tried to kind of supplant with the inability to bring on visiting teachers from around the world. We&#8217;ve challenged our own teacher community to step up with their own talent, um, which is considerable. And so, they&#8217;re offering their own workshops, which have been very successful. We, I guess two or three weeks ago, we had a handstand/forearm stand workshop that was, um, oversold. So we, uh, our own teachers have been able to bring a little bit of what we used to be able to do with visiting teachers. Yeah, I know you guys have some exceptional teachers that are there on a regular basis. The Handstand Workshop sounds interesting. Uh, what, what is the, you know, for those of us that maybe are still very, uh beginner-level, what is the, the, the advantage of doing something like a Handstand Workshop? Why would I want to go do that? What am I learning there? A lot of the more advanced practitioners do incorporate handstands into their practice. It&#8217;s very common. So, this workshop was just designed if you are interested in learning how to incorporate handstands, headstands, forearm stands into your practice, but haven&#8217;t done it, yet. This workshop was designed to show you how to do that with hand placement, with shoulder-stretching, et cetera. And if you already had handstands, headstands incorporated, it just gave you a few extra tips. And it&#8217;s totally a choice. I mean, there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s nothing in our dialogue that our teachers give that force people to try to do a handstand if they&#8217;re not ready for that. But, there&#8217;s certain places in every class where a teacher will suggest, &#8220;If you have a handstand practice, you can take your handstands now.&#8221; Would you consider that as a part of someone&#8217;s practice to be intermediate or advanced, or is it something that beginners can also incorporate? Oh, I think beginners can absolutely incorporate it. It&#8217;s, you know, it&#8217;s um, and &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro. If you listen, you know that I&#8217;m a sucker for some rec sports. So, through college to now, I&#8217;m always interesting in playing something. So, today we&#8217;re going to talk about that. We&#8217;re talking with Tyler Wallace a little bit about some rec sports here locally. Hi, Tyler. How are you? Good. How are you? I&#8217;m good. All right. So, I think you listen. So, you know, we&#8217;re going to talk about some quick hits first. I&#8217;m going to ask you who your favorite athlete is. Yeah. I prepared. I prepared. I mean, it&#8217;s always, it&#8217;s my man-crush, Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson. Um, he&#8217;s not probably the typical kind of answer you would give. But, I was super into pro- professional wrestling whenever I was a kid. And, um, The Rock was, like, the man. And even now, like, it&#8217;s what- I strive for success because of that. Yeah. I mean, he&#8217;s beyond an athlete now, right? He&#8217;s everything. He&#8217;s, like, the biggest movie star ever now. That&#8217;s definitely a unique answer that I haven&#8217;t had in here, yet. All right. So, um, let&#8217;s see. What&#8217;s your favorite sport? Uh, football, hands-down. I played all through grade school and high school. And unfortunately, not many colleges are looking for a 5&#8217;7&#8221;, 180-pound lineman. So, um, my, my college days, didn&#8217;t, it didn&#8217;t translate to football. Do you still play for fun? I&#8217;ve played flag football occasionally. But, um, I&#8217;m not, I&#8217;m not really big into the, the ankle injuries and I&#8217;m prone to a sprained ankle quite often. Yeah. Football&#8217;s tough on you, obviously. Uh, so, what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Varsity Blues. It&#8217;s not, I mean, yes, it&#8217;s a sports movie, but not, it&#8217;s not really all about the sports. Sports-centric movie. Sports, you know. But I, I watched that movie every night going to sleep on VHS tape and every night of high school. So, I could probably recite the whole movie by heart. Um, but, we&#8217;ll save that one for the next episode. How funny, okay. I mean, you&#8217;re going to hate this, but I mean, I know it and I&#8217;ve seen it, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen like start-to-finish, the whole thing at once. Like in, like, intentionally watching the whole movie. Yeah. No, I probably watched it two or three months ago. Everybody thinks of Dawson&#8217;s Creek when you think of James Van Der Beek. Not me. I think of Varsity Blues. Okay. So between James Van Der Beek and The Rock, you&#8217;ve got some actor icons. They&#8217;re so different. That&#8217;s funny. Okay, then. So, you talked about football. I&#8217;m curious to know your background in sports, because we&#8217;re gonna talk about like what you do now in sports as an adult. But, um, besides football, like, what else did you do when you were younger? Uh, I did power lifting in high school. So, I went to a really small, uh, I played eight-man football. And then my senior year, I was like, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to do everything except basketball, because basketball makes no sense to me.&#8221; Um, so, I did baseball. Broke my nose. Um, didn&#8217;t do very well my senior year. So, um, baseball is more of a, &#8220;I want to watch the sport.&#8221; When did you break your nose? Uh, I was playing center field. And I was paying attention like a very good center fielder should do. And last minute, I raised my glove to catch the ball and it just tipped off and knocked me out. And, uh, yeah. I, that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t sleep very well. Now, one of the, one of the three broken noses, yeah. One of the three? Yeah. Broke my nose riding a miniature bull when I was, like, nine, I think. Yeah. You were riding a miniature bull when you were nine? So, it was actually a baby bull. It had a hump and everything and I smacked my nose on the back of it and broke my nose. That was the first one. And the third one? So, the third one was the baseball. The second one was, um, I looked off to the wrong guy in 8th grade. Yeah. 8th grade? Yeah. Holy cow. You&#8217;re a daredevil. Sometimes. So, baseball. Um, gosh, you said a lot of things in there, actually. So, sport-wise, like, I like to watch football. I like to play volleyball, kickball, stuff like that. And um, my senior year, it was more of just a, &#8220;I want to play the sports before I don&#8217;t get to anymore.&#8221; Right. I realized that my size wasn&#8217;t going to take me pro, so. Well, it&#8217;s good that you realize that. Because I feel like now, I don&#8217;t know, as a parent, maybe I just see it differently. Um, but, I feel like so many kids and parents around us, especially in this community, feel like there is so much more beyond high school sports. And there are for so many &#8230;]]></description>

That&#8217;s definitely a unique answer that I haven&#8217;t had in here, yet. All right. So, um, let&#8217;s see. What&#8217;s your favorite sport? Uh, football, hands-down. I played all through grade school and high school. And unfortunately, not many colleges are looking for a 5&#8217;7&#8221;, 180-pound lineman. So, um, my, my college days, didn&#8217;t, it didn&#8217;t translate to football. Do you still play for fun? I&#8217;ve played flag football occasionally. But, um, I&#8217;m not, I&#8217;m not really big into the, the ankle injuries and I&#8217;m prone to a sprained ankle quite often. Yeah. Football&#8217;s tough on you, obviously. Uh, so, what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Varsity Blues. It&#8217;s not, I mean, yes, it&#8217;s a sports movie, but not, it&#8217;s not really all about the sports. Sports-centric movie. Sports, you know. But I, I watched that movie every night going to sleep on VHS tape and every night of high school. So, I could probably recite the whole movie by heart. Um, but, we&#8217;ll save that one for the next episode. How funny, okay. I mean, you&#8217;re going to hate this, but I mean, I know it and I&#8217;ve seen it, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen like start-to-finish, the whole thing at once. Like in, like, intentionally watching the whole movie. Yeah. No, I probably watched it two or three months ago. Everybody thinks of Dawson&#8217;s Creek when you think of James Van Der Beek. Not me. I think of Varsity Blues. Okay. So between James Van Der Beek and The Rock, you&#8217;ve got some actor icons. They&#8217;re so different. That&#8217;s funny. Okay, then. So, you talked about football. I&#8217;m curious to know your background in sports, because we&#8217;re gonna talk about like what you do now in sports as an adult. But, um, besides football, like, what e]]></itunes:summary>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. Today, we&#8217;re talking skin and spa with Katelin Schebler, owner of Frisco&#8217;s Culture A Day Spa. Welcome, Katelin, how are you? I&#8217;m doing well, Kelly. Thank you for having me. Excited to talk about Culture A Day Spa because I have, um, visited there now several times recently. And so, I want to share that with other people. For those who haven&#8217;t visited yet, can you just tell us a little overview about what Culture A Day Spa is all about? Yes, of course. So, we are a locally owned, small business. And we are located in Frisco, Texas at the corner of Warren and Parkwood. And we are a five-star luxury spa. So, we focus on luxury massages, facials, body treatments. We&#8217;re very much, um, focusing on the experience for our guests. We want to be an escape and a retreat for everyone here in Frisco, Texas. And so, when our guests come in, they get provided a private locker room in either our men&#8217;s locker room or women&#8217;s locker room. We have showers, all of our guests go into robes and slippers and they get to really enjoy their time with us. We also feature a relaxation lounge where everyone can relax before and after their treatments. Currently, we&#8217;re serving a White Riesling, hot tea, bottled water, chocolates, and mints for everyone to enjoy. We also have seven treatment rooms for massages and facials, a beautiful couples suite with an oversized hydrotherapy shower, and we offer private dining for our guests, as well, where we can cater up to a three-course meal for a group of either one to our up-to six. Wow. So those are a few examples of different unique things that make Culture A Say Spa different from, um, I don&#8217;t know, just many of the other spots that people might have been in. So as, as this is, you know, your, your baby, your idea that was brought to life- and happy two-years, by the way. Thank you so much. We&#8217;re so excited. So, how did you envision this? &#8216;Cause some of these things that you mentioned seem very intentional when you&#8217;re in there, like, so well thought-out and mapped out. So is, you know, talk about how you planned for that to make this feel so unique and luxurious. Well, you- and you were absolutely correct. Everything is very intentional, very purposeful. I always believe that the beauty is in the details and we really strive to make those details perfect for our guests. So I hand-picked and selected everything in the spa. Our layout is unique as well. We custom-designed our layout. All of our treatments are custom and unique, as well. And I&#8217;ve been in the industry for 14 years and have always been in the luxury-spa industry. So, when my husband and I moved to Frisco about 7 years ago, we really felt the need for luxury spa, where our guests have a beautiful experience. And also that employee experience is very important to us where we can have the best-of-the-best team members and give them a place to be successful and grow in their career. And that is really what we wanted with Culture, which is why the name Culture A Day Spa became about because we believe in changing the culture of the industry &#8211; not only from our guests&#8217; experience and guests&#8217; perspective, but also from our employee experience and employee perspective. I love that. And speaking of employees, your employees are awesome. Um, when you walk in, they&#8217;re, they&#8217;re so great when they greet you with that awesome, um, big rotunda, you have at the front there. But, you&#8217;re also often there. And I love that, too. I love that you&#8217;re the local business owner. Um, but, that you&#8217;re in the business on a day-to-day basis. Now, maybe it&#8217;s just every time I&#8217;m there, you&#8217;re there. I&#8217;m not sure. But, what is your involvement on a day-to-day basis? Yes. So, I am very passionate about, um, Culture. And I am- for the last two years, I have been there every day. Um, I absolutely love what I do. I love our guests. I love my team and I&#8217;m really want everyone to enjoy their experience. So, I am at the front sometimes, greeting and checking in the guests. I manage, I train the team, I hire the team. But as a licensed aesthetician, I also have clientele of my own. So, I&#8217;m often in the treatment room, performing treatments in addition to everything else that I&#8217;m doing on a daily basis. So, it&#8217;s fun every day. Every day is very different, as well. And it really, everything I do comes out of passion and I love it. I wouldn&#8217;t change anything. So, you&#8217;re in the rooms &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. So, I want y&#8217;all to meet Jules Hernandez, a young volleyball player here in Frisco; making some heads turn. So, I&#8217;m excited to get to talk to you and learn about what you&#8217;re doing in volleyball. Hi, Jules. Hi, thank you so much for having me. I&#8217;m so honored to be here. Well, I&#8217;m excited. So, I know you&#8217;ve just been training a lot of our athletes. They come in here right off the court or the field. So, um, thank you for taking a minute to come and talk to me. Of course. Okay. So, with all of our guests, I&#8217;d like to do some quick hits to know you a little better. Okay. So, as far as your favorites &#8211; so, who do you look up to? Who are some of your favorite athletes? Oh, okay. That&#8217;s- I have a lot of my favorite athletes. Um, Sarah Sponcil. She is a professional sand volleyball player. Okay. I really relate to her because she plays sand volleyball and I play sand volleyball. And she not lets no ball drop. And I play libero and I let no ball drop and it&#8217;s just, I relate to that. That&#8217;s awesome. And also I love April Ross because her energy on the court is just amazing. And also I think that&#8217;s my two biggest, um, athletes and those are great. Those are great. So, as far as teams in sports that you like to watch, um- I know we&#8217;re here to talk about volleyball, but are there other sports that you like to watch when you&#8217;re watching TV in different teams that you follow? I normally just watch volleyball. That&#8217;s pretty much my main sport. Um, I don&#8217;t really watch other sports other than volleyball. So, no. Your volleyball all the time, all volleyball.Yes, but I do love- I am doing track this year and cross-country. That&#8217;s what I love about middle school. So, we should say that you&#8217;re in middle school. And I think that&#8217;s one of the best things is when you do get to get, get to the point where you get to be a middle school athlete, a student athlete, you get to try things that you might not have otherwise realized, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m going to try track.&#8221; But, um, is it true that your coaches, like, encourage you to try to branch out and try the new things? Oh, they&#8217;re like, &#8220;Oh, try basketball. Try soccer. Just do everything.&#8221; They do that to all their top athletes here. They&#8217;re just like, &#8220;Just do everything.&#8221; And it&#8217;s so good for you because while you might not pursue that sport for very long, it&#8217;s really good to just try it and understand different skills and different things at different seasons and different sports go through and learn different coaching techniques and learn how to work with different types of, um, teammates. Yes, definitely. Um, middle school is just a perfect time to just see, like, what you like, what you don&#8217;t like, just to try new stuff. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m definitely doing track and cross-country because I have good stamina. I&#8217;m really fast. And I just love running. It&#8217;s good for you then. Yeah, definitely helps. And it keeps me in shape, too, for volleyball. So, that&#8217;s really good making me faster on the court, too. Exactly. All right. So, I always want to know what people&#8217;s favorite sports movies are. I know you&#8217;re young, you haven&#8217;t watched as many sports movies as many of us older folks like me. Do you have any favorite movies that you like that are- I like Waterboy, um, Adam Sandler, I think that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s, um, I really liked that one because you know, everyone kind of underestimates him. And everyone&#8217;s just like, &#8220;Oh, you&#8217;re just this guy, you know. No one likes you.&#8221; But then he ends up being this amazing player with football. That&#8217;s awesome. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve had that as an answer. In fact, I know that I haven&#8217;t. But, I&#8217;ve had some other Adam Sandler, uh, sports movies, like Happy Gilmore. He&#8217;s so funny. I know. He&#8217;s great. Everything he does is great. Okay. So, I know, like I said, we&#8217;re going to talk about your volleyball world today. Um, and I wanted to know those other sports, which is great because I do think those skills help you. So, I always want to know, like from pro athletes, how far into your life did you play those other sports versus when you started focusing? So, you are at the age today where most of those athletes, their answer is, &#8220;When I was in middle school &#8211; when I was finishing middle school &#8211; when I starting high school &#8211; is when I dropped some of the other,&#8221; um, just, you know, sports that they knew they weren&#8217;t going to be kind of their main thing. Many of them do like you said and play an off season, &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle &#38; Pro. So, I want y&#8217;all to meet Jules Hernandez, a young volleyball player here in Frisco; making some heads turn. So, I&#8217;m excited to get to talk to you and learn about what you&#8217;re doing in volleyball. Hi, Jules. Hi, thank you so much for having me. I&#8217;m so honored to be here. Well, I&#8217;m excited. So, I know you&#8217;ve just been training a lot of our athletes. They come in here right off the court or the field. So, um, thank you for taking a minute to come and talk to me. Of course. Okay. So, with all of our guests, I&#8217;d like to do some quick hits to know you a little better. Okay. So, as far as your favorites &#8211; so, who do you look up to? Who are some of your favorite athletes? Oh, okay. That&#8217;s- I have a lot of my favorite athletes. Um, Sarah Sponcil. She is a professional sand volleyball player. Okay. I really relate to her because she plays sand volleyball and I play sand volleyball. And she not lets no ball drop. And I play libero and I let no ball drop and it&#8217;s just, I relate to that. That&#8217;s awesome. And also I love April Ross because her energy on the court is just amazing. And also I think that&#8217;s my two biggest, um, athletes and those are great. Those are great. So, as far as teams in sports that you like to watch, um- I know we&#8217;re here to talk about volleyball, but are there other sports that you like to watch when you&#8217;re watching TV in different teams that you follow? I normally just watch volleyball. That&#8217;s pretty much my main sport. Um, I don&#8217;t really watch other sports other than volleyball. So, no. Your volleyball all the time, all volleyball.Yes, but I do love- I am doing track this year and cross-country. That&#8217;s what I love about middle school. So, we should say that you&#8217;re in middle school. And I think that&#8217;s one of the best things is when you do get to get, get to the point where you get to be a middle school athlete, a student athlete, you get to try things that you might not have otherwise realized, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m going to try track.&#8221; But, um, is it true that your coaches, like, encourage you to try to branch out and try the new things? Oh, they&#8217;re like, &#8220;Oh, try basketball. Try soccer. Just do everything.&#8221; They do that to all their top athletes here. They&#8217;re just like, &#8220;Just do everything.&#8221; And it&#8217;s so good for you because while you might not pursue that sport for very long, it&#8217;s really good to just try it and understand different skills and different things at different seasons and different sports go through and learn different coaching techniques and learn how to work with different types of, um, teammates. Yes, definitely. Um, middle school is just a perfect time to just see, like, what you like, what you don&#8217;t like, just to try new stuff. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m definitely doing track and cross-country because I have good stamina. I&#8217;m really fast. And I just love running. It&#8217;s good for you then. Yeah, definitely helps. And it keeps me in shape, too, for volleyball. So, that&#8217;s really good making me faster on the court, too. Exactly. All right. So, I always want to know what people&#8217;s favorite sports movies are. I know you&#8217;re young, you haven&#8217;t watched as many sports movies as many of us older folks like me. Do you have any favorite movies that you like that are- I like Waterboy, um, Adam Sandler, I think that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s, um, I really liked that one because you know, everyone kind of underestimates him.

So, I ask all my guests, &#8220;what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie?&#8221; And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to talk about today. So, I have Daniel Rentie and Brandon May with me to run down some sports movie talk here. So, I was curious to kind of know what different athletes&#8217; favorite sports movies were just to sort of get a different variety and it&#8217;s been fun hearing from them. Um, so, I&#8217;ve got stuff on the, on the list. Maybe that&#8217;s where we&#8217;ll kind of jump off from, guys. Um, let&#8217;s see. Rocky is one of them. Um, and that&#8217;s, I&#8217;ve only had one person note that. So, I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s anybody on anybody else&#8217;s list. But, um, this next one is a big one. So, I meant, I think we should start there. So, Remember The Titans was like the number one, I think that, yeah &#8211; that was the number one most answered question of all of my guests this past season of what&#8217;s-your-favorite-sports-movie. So, was Remember the Titans on either of y&#8217;all&#8217;s sports list or movie list? It made it. Remember The Titans made it for me. Yeah. I thought about Rocky. But, I didn&#8217;t put on there. I love Rocky, but it&#8217;s not like my top if that makes sense. So, I know that might be very, very controversial, you know. With Remember The Titans. I&#8217;m wondering the majority of the people that answered that, what age they were. Yeah, it&#8217;s a variety. But, most of them are like, um, if I can remember right&#8217;s, legends players and, um, gosh, different high school- it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s everybody, though, actually. Yeah. It&#8217;s not just our-age people. Yeah. But, um, so, I have to admit- so, y&#8217;all, have a list on mine as never seen in full from start to finish that I can like remember actually knowing the whole movie and that&#8217;s online. So, I know what Remember The Titans is. I know pieces of it. But, I it&#8217;s like one of my &#8211; kind of embarrassed to admit that I haven&#8217;t sat down from start to finish and actually like meant to watch that movie. Full disclosure mine is Caddyshack. Oh, Caddyshack. Yeah. I know the iconic scenes and I&#8217;ve heard the quotes. But, I&#8217;ve never sat down and watched it from beginning to end. That surprises me because that seems like humor you would like. Oh, I think it&#8217;s hilarious. I just never thought to myself, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to sit down and watch that.&#8221; So, when I watch Caddyshack now, I mean, I don&#8217;t set out to like, &#8220;let&#8217;s watch Caddyshack as a family, guys.&#8221; &#8216;Cause it&#8217;s really weird. It makes me really uncomfortable. It&#8217;s one of those that, it&#8217;s just, there&#8217;s a lot of stuff in it that is so not appropriate nowadays and just, just different things going on in there. So, it&#8217;s one of those that I know I like, I giggle at it and I laugh at it. But, I&#8217;m also like a little uncomfortable when I watch that one. So, with remember the Titans, what do you think? Because it was so popular with the majority of the people. What do you think it is that resonates, that makes that one of their favorites. Have they, have they explained it? It&#8217;s on your list, Daniel. It. I mean, I think that&#8217;s, I think it&#8217;s very multifaceted. I mean, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s very on the deep end there because I think, one, people like a good war story connects things like how they talk about the Battle of Gettysburg. Um, and two, the biggest thing was the unifying of two different teams into one from separate parts of town and the whole segregation and everything that they overcame to come together. And it was, it was very practical as far as the, I guess, the leadership, the importance of leadership and setting the example of unity. I think people love the unifying part of it is more so of the, more than the sports achievement. But, I think it was just mainly that, that message, I think. Coming together as a team, coming together, despite all adversity. And don&#8217;t you think that&#8217;s kind of a common theme with a lot of these. Because it&#8217;s- especially with football movies, it&#8217;s not about the actual football in the movie. Right. It&#8217;s usually- football movies are, are kind of, um, hard to watch for the football, right? Because it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s so dramatized, uh, six seconds on the clock is just, it&#8217;s hard to watch that and actually try to make that look like a real football scene or something. But, um, it&#8217;s always for like that, uh, that team comradery rather than, &#8220;Oh my gosh, are they going to win this or &#8230;]]></description>

I think people love the unifying part of it is more so of the, more than the sports achievement. But, I think it was just mainly that, that message, I think. Coming together as a team, coming together, despite all adversity. And don&#8217;t you think that&#8217;s kind of a common theme with a lot of these. Because it&#8217;s- especially with football movies, it&#8217;s not about the actual football in the movie. Right. It&#8217;s usually- football movies are, are kind of, um, hard to watch for the football, right? Because it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s so dramatized, uh, six seconds on the clock is just, it&#8217;s hard to watch that and actually try to make that look like a real football scene or something. But, um, it&#8217;s always for like that, uh, that team comradery rather than, &#8220;Oh my gosh, are they going to win this or &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s Hustle &#38; Pro. We&#8217;ve got a special episode for you. So, I ask all my guests, &#8220;what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie?&#8221; And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to talk about today. So, I have Daniel Rentie and Brandon May with me to run down some sports movie talk here. So, I was curious to kind of know what different athletes&#8217; favorite sports movies were just to sort of get a different variety and it&#8217;s been fun hearing from them. Um, so, I&#8217;ve got stuff on the, on the list. Maybe that&#8217;s where we&#8217;ll kind of jump off from, guys. Um, let&#8217;s see. Rocky is one of them. Um, and that&#8217;s, I&#8217;ve only had one person note that. So, I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s anybody on anybody else&#8217;s list. But, um, this next one is a big one. So, I meant, I think we should start there. So, Remember The Titans was like the number one, I think that, yeah &#8211; that was the number one most answered question of all of my guests this past season of what&#8217;s-your-favorite-sports-movie. So, was Remember the Titans on either of y&#8217;all&#8217;s sports list or movie list? It made it. Remember The Titans made it for me. Yeah. I thought about Rocky. But, I didn&#8217;t put on there. I love Rocky, but it&#8217;s not like my top if that makes sense. So, I know that might be very, very controversial, you know. With Remember The Titans. I&#8217;m wondering the majority of the people that answered that, what age they were. Yeah, it&#8217;s a variety. But, most of them are like, um, if I can remember right&#8217;s, legends players and, um, gosh, different high school- it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s everybody, though, actually. Yeah. It&#8217;s not just our-age people. Yeah. But, um, so, I have to admit- so, y&#8217;all, have a list on mine as never seen in full from start to finish that I can like remember actually knowing the whole movie and that&#8217;s online. So, I know what Remember The Titans is. I know pieces of it. But, I it&#8217;s like one of my &#8211; kind of embarrassed to admit that I haven&#8217;t sat down from start to finish and actually like meant to watch that movie. Full disclosure mine is Caddyshack. Oh, Caddyshack. Yeah. I know the iconic scenes and I&#8217;ve heard the quotes. But, I&#8217;ve never sat down and watched it from beginning to end. That surprises me because that seems like humor you would like. Oh, I think it&#8217;s hilarious. I just never thought to myself, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to sit down and watch that.&#8221; So, when I watch Caddyshack now, I mean, I don&#8217;t set out to like, &#8220;let&#8217;s watch Caddyshack as a family, guys.&#8221; &#8216;Cause it&#8217;s really weird.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle and Pro. As a lacrosse parent, I think a lot about where us, Texans, fit into the whole lacrosse scene. So, today we have coach Patrick Diamanon. Did I say that right, Patrick? That&#8217;s correct. All right. So, Patrick&#8217;s here to talk to us about the current kind of lacrosse landscape. So hi, and welcome to Hustle and Pro, Patrick. Thank you. I&#8217;m very excited to be on here. Yeah, I&#8217;m excited to hear from you. So, before we jump into the lacrosse talk, though, let&#8217;s learn a few quick sports, sports hits from you. So, who would you say is your favorite athlete? Ooh, there&#8217;s a lot of athletes. Um, I think from a pure athletic standpoint, Bo Jackson, just because he did define the whole multi-sport athlete and did at a very high level with doing it at the NFL and Major League Baseball, as well. So, I would say he&#8217;s one of my favorites. Um, you know, even old school, Earl Campbell, just because I love the way that he ran the football, um, type-of-way. Um, lacrosse-wise, Mikey Powell, uh, just because growing up that was the guy looking up to, and just wanted to try to mimic my game as much as possible off note. Okay. Well, following up on that, I always like to know what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play yourself? And then, what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? So, playing myself, I like lacrosse. I&#8217;ve been playing it since I was seven. I mean, it&#8217;s still play to this very day. And, you know, Man&#8217;s Pickup League, which is post-college stuff. And every once in a while, there might be a tournament that I can go play in. Um, you know, back in high school, it was definitely football and lacrosse. It was hard to pick between the two. But, for sure, lacrosse. Where&#8217;d you grow up? I&#8217;m originally from Houston, Texas. Okay. Texas football growing up. Um, but then you play- so, you started playing lacrosse at age seven here in Texas? Yeah. So, I started playing when I was seven. Um, it was kind of just, you know, I got first introduced with a stick. Um, my dad went to Virginia and then our uncle or my uncle kind of played lacrosse a little bit to introduce it to us. It was kind of more of a secondary sport to do in the summers. And then, once I probably got into sixth grade, seventh grade, I started taking it more seriously just because the school offered it, uh, in Houston. And, you know, was able to play it all the way through college until, um, going into my senior year. I had fun. Unfortunately, had a knee injury that prevented me to play. Yeah, that&#8217;ll, that&#8217;ll do it. Yes. Okay. One more quick one. Uh, what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Oh, the sports movie. I mean the classic, Remember The Titans. Um, that one, I think Denzel Washington&#8217;s great. And just how, um, they had to go through so much adversity to come out on top. Um, you know, and it was a real good, just, &#8220;this is how a team should be,&#8221; um, in all sorts, in all circumstances with it &#8211; sticking together through the thick and thin. Yep. That&#8217;s a good one. Okay. So, now I know that, um, you used to coach here in Frisco and you&#8217;re still coaching at the high school level, right. Um, over on the other side of the metroplex in Fort Worth. And then, when you mentioned how your, you know, your dad kind of introduced you to the sport, um, I think it&#8217;s probably common for, you know, kids in Texas are getting introduced to it. Um, several years back probably was brought down from somebody, either from the Northeast or somewhere, right? Up north. So, that&#8217;s kinda like where I want to start with our conversation. Um, Texas is sort of still, you know, a little new to this sport. Obviously people are, are, have been playing it here a little while, but not as long as other parts of the country where it&#8217;s sort of common and really mainstream sports and powerhouse parts of the country. So, from your point of view, um, playing and coaching, where do you kind of place, like, lacrosse in Texas? Like if you were to grade- give us a grade. How are, how are we doing? Uh, I would say that we&#8217;re- it&#8217;s hard to kind of put a number or like a grade letter. I would say we&#8217;re definitely a solid like B, B plus. There are definitely some teams that, um, can hit that A area. Um, like Dallas Jesuit, uh, Highland Park, Episcopal School of Dallas, um, Woodlands, &#8230;]]></description>

So, Nick&#8217;s going to give us a rundown of what&#8217;s going on over there at Kartland. Welcome, Nick; how are you? I&#8217;m good. I&#8217;m good. Just holding down the fort. It&#8217;s a lot of fun. Um, pretty fast. We&#8217;ve been doing this now, guess, Kartland since 2018, February, 2018. So, this upcoming February will be three years, um, of just letting everybody experience the rush. And I&#8217;m sure, I&#8217;m sure you guys plan really perfectly well for 2020, right? Nothing&#8217;s changed. Oh, yeah. Perfect. Perfectly. We&#8217;ve been going- actually, so, we opened up back again. Um, I think it was May 1st when everything was kind of allowed to start reopening. And since then, um, at each month keeps getting better. That&#8217;s fantastic. Good deal. Okay. Well, I want to talk to people about, um, you know &#8211; in general, people haven&#8217;t been in there yet? Why Kartland- maybe why it&#8217;s different from others? What they can expect when they go in. Let&#8217;s start with that. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, right now everything&#8217;s kind of COVID; it&#8217;s 2020. So, um, we recommend everybody wear masks when they come in. Um, once they get racing, we do require head socks, which are just- we sell them for $2 or you can bring in your own helmet if you don&#8217;t want to use one of our rental helmets right now. Okay. Um, um, we walk in the door and have y&#8217;all registered. Get y&#8217;all set up, um, on that. If you&#8217;ve been here before, great. But if you haven&#8217;t, we&#8217;ll get you on little waiver. Get you inside. Get you set up for the races. Give you your head sock. Get you on a little safety video. Teach you about the karts cause they are a lot different than your normal pop-up karts. They&#8217;re not your normal pop karts. Um, you&#8217;re going 45 miles an hour here on our indoor facility. You&#8217;re an inch off the ground and you&#8217;re racing. So, they are a lot different. We&#8217;re going to tell you everything. If you have any questions, my team&#8217;s awesome. They&#8217;ll take care of your racing line. If they see something that you can do a little bit better, be going faster, we&#8217;re definitely gonna help you out with that. Oh, cool. So, some of the stuff you mentioned, you probably can do online before you get in there too, right? Like registering and doing waivers. Some of that stuff could help, um, reduce the amount of, you know, waiting and or contact you have with folks when you get in there. Right? Exactly. Exactly. So, we actually now do online booking, so you can entirely book your race online. Um, that- just go to our website, go to &#8220;book now;&#8221; set you up right there. Select, uh, all your different race packages. Um, there are some that you can do in store that gets you a little bit of a better deal. Um, but our most popular items are all right there online. You can also, if you just want to get yourself registered so you don&#8217;t have to use the iPads when you come in, which are cleaned between every use, you can register online at that registration or register online link and sign your waiver. Uh, just come to the cashier when you&#8217;re ready and we&#8217;ll get you in your races. Okay. Okay. We keep mentioning the online. So, I just want to take that chance to say that it&#8217;s Kartland with a K kartland.com is where you can go to look at that stuff. And then I also want to make sure and call out &#8211; in August, we, um, did an article. So, lifestylefrisco.com, You guys can go look for an article entitled Kartland Waves The Green Flag on Indoor Fun. It&#8217;s a fun article so you learn even more than you&#8217;re going to learn from us probably here today. Um, so some different stuff. So go check that out. All right. So you mentioned about, um, ways online that we can register and maybe prevent some of the contact, but what are some of the other COVID related safety measures that you guys have going on? Yeah, obviously we&#8217;re- with the state mandate, you have to wear a mask whenever you come in. Um, we do now require a $2 head sock which covers your face. You&#8217;ll wear it. It&#8217;s a full-face or a full-head, head sock. So, it covers your hair, covers your head. Um, and you&#8217;ll wear it up over your nose just kind of like a ski mask.

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed We have no shortage of quarterback controversy here in this town. As if this season isn’t strange enough, Frisco’s own Dallas Cowboys are having some major QB struggles — painful, disappointing, crushing setbacks. Heck, the QB situation has changed twice since we&#8217;ve recorded this episode! Our friend and quarterbacks coach, Landry Klann, sits down with us to talk it out. We look at the young trend at the quarterback position in the NFL and some surprises and projections this season. And, of course, we talk Dak — and Mahomes, and Brady, and even Archie Manning. We hope you enjoy our QB talk as much as we did. Listen to other episodes of Hustle and Pro in our archives. Show Notes [00:06] Introducing Landry Klann [00:37] Quick Hits with Landry [03:36] Landry and Archie Manning [06:22] NFL’s Young Quarterback Wave [09:58] Football Players Starting Younger [14:06] NFL’s Top Passers [18:24] Dak Prescott’s Injury [22:55] Patrick Mahomes As a Role Model Resources within this episode:  Landry Klann: Instagram @qbcountrydallas &#124; Twitter &#124; QB Country Website NFL Website &#124; Dallas Cowboys Website Kelly Walker: Instagram @kelly_walkertexas &#124;  Twitter: @kelly_walker_TX Connect with Lifestyle Frisco:  Facebook &#124; Instagram &#124; YouTube &#124; Twitter &#124; LinkedIn  Transcript: (machine-generated) Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro, Season Two, talking sports in Frisco from youth to pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle and Pro. So this far into October, and we haven&#8217;t had a football episode yet, which is crazy. But, we&#8217;re changing that today. So, we&#8217;re talking quarterbacks today with Landry Klann. So, Landry, you and I actually met a little over a year ago. We were kind of, co-hosting a, like a &#8220;football 101&#8221; for some ladies here in a local event. So, um, I&#8217;m excited to finally have you on here and get your insight into what&#8217;s going on with quarterbacks lately. Yeah, no, I appreciate you having me on. I&#8217;m excited for this. Okay. Before we jump into quarterback talk, I want to ask you a couple of the quick hits I ask all my guests. So who would you say is your all-time favorite athlete? Um, all-time favorite athletes; probably Peyton Manning. He was a guy that I grew up with, uh, and just loved watching him. Again, it was always kind of between him and Tom Brady. Those were the two guys when I was growing up that were like the big, big names. God, it&#8217;s funny for Brady to still be doing it. Um, but, uh, I would say I&#8217;d have to go with, uh, Peyton Manning, um, and, uh, Rogers probably now Aaron Rogers, probably the guy I liked to watch the most now. But yeah, football guy, for sure; So, I have to pick a football player. Yeah. Okay. So speaking of that, I always ask people, &#8220;what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch versus your favorite sport to play?&#8221; And I know that you aren&#8217;t just a football player, right? Even through high school, you played other sports. So, um, what is your favorite sport to actually play? Favorite sport to play is definitely football. Um, basketball would be the second. Um, but, uh, again, I grew up playing football, basketball, baseball. Um, so, again, played, you know, played pretty much everything and, um, but, uh, baseball is a little bit slower. I was good at it. So, I played all the way through high school, but, um, you know, never, like, was my passion or anything. Uh, and then my dad was a football coach growing up. So, I was always around that. And so that was kind of from-the-ground-up. Yeah, that was, that was priority. So, if you&#8217;re sitting down to watch something, is it always going to be football that you choose first or are you so close to football and &#8211; you know, you work in the sport &#8211; do you, do you choose to watch, you know, tennis or do you like watching something different? So, it&#8217;s funny you bring that up. Um, I do enjoy watching tennis. I never played it. Uh, I like watching that. I also have gotten really into sand volleyball, which has kind of been the sport that I&#8217;ve picked up after &#8211; you know, cause that&#8217;s the issue with football is, you know, once you&#8217;re done, you&#8217;re kind of done. You know, there&#8217;s nothing really, that&#8217;s going to replace that you can go play flag or you can play some of this other things. But, it&#8217;s not like basketball where you can still go, you know, scratch that itch and go get a pickup game or something and still like a pretty high level. Um, you know, once you&#8217;re done, it&#8217;s kind of done. So I&#8217;ve kinda been doing jujitsu and then, uh, um, sand volleyball has been my, my two kind of sports that still scratch my competitive edge. Um, but, uh, you know, I definitely have enjoyed watching, you know, sand volleyball a lot, actually. That would be the kind of thing. That&#8217;s cool. That&#8217;s fun. Different. All right. Last one. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? I have to say, Remember the Titans. Um, again, that was just a movie. I think I was in fourth grade when that came out. Uh, and it was funny. I always had a bedtime, I&#8217;ve seen the first half of that movie, like over a hundred times because when that came out, I always had a bedtime at 10:00 PM. But, I was also like OCD that I couldn&#8217;t like start a movie where I left off. Like, I had to see a movie from beginning to end. But, I would never time it out right. So, like basically I would start at like nine, 9:00 PM and I&#8217;d have to go to bed. So, I&#8217;ve seen the beginning of that movie (a lot). That&#8217;s good. That&#8217;s good. Okay. I thought I read or saw somewhere that you have a &#8230;]]></description>

But yeah, football guy, for sure; So, I have to pick a football player. Yeah. Okay. So speaking of that, I always ask people, &#8220;what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch versus your favorite sport to play?&#8221; And I know that you aren&#8217;t just a football player, right? Even through high school, you played other sports. So, um, what is your favorite sport to actually play? Favorite sport to play is definitely football. Um, basketball would be the second. Um, but, uh, again, I grew up playing football, basketball, baseball. Um, so, again, played, you know, played pretty much everything and, um, but, uh, baseball is a little bit slower. I was good at it. So, I played all the way through high school, but, um, you know, never, like, was my passion or anything. Uh, and then my dad was a football coach growing up. So, I was always around that. And so that was kind of from-the-ground-up. Yeah, that was, that was priority. So, if you&#8217;re sitting down to watch something, is it always going to be football that you choose first or are you so close to football and &#8211; you know, you work in the sport &#8211; do you, do you choose to watch, you know, tennis or do you like watching something different? So, it&#8217;s funny you bring that up. Um, I do enjoy watching tennis. I never played it. Uh, I like watching that. I also have gotten really into sand volleyball, which has kind of been the sport that I&#8217;ve picked up after &#8211; you know, cause that&#8217;s the issue with football is, you know, once you&#8217;re done, you&#8217;re kind of done. You know, there&#8217;s nothing really, that&#8217;s going to replace that you can go play flag or you can play some of this other things. But, it&#8217;s not like basketball where you can still go, you know, scratch that itch and go get a pickup game or something and still like a pretty high level. Um, you know, once you&#8217;re done, it&#8217;s kind of done. So I&#8217;ve kinda been doing jujitsu and then, uh, um, sand volleyball has been my, my two kind of sports that still scratch my competitive edge. Um, but, uh, you know, I definitely have enjoyed watching, you know, sand volleyball a lot, actually. That would be the kind of thing. That&#8217;s cool. That&#8217;s fun. Different. All right. Last one. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? I have to say, Remember the Titans. Um, again, that was just a movie. I think I was in fourth grade when that came out. Uh, and it was funny. I always had a bedtime, I&#8217;ve seen the first half of that movie, like over a hundred times because when that came out, I always had a bedtime at 10:00 PM. But, I was also like OCD that I couldn&#8217;t like start a movie where I left off. Like, I had to see a movie from beginning to end. But, I would never time it out right. So, like basically I would start at like nine, 9:00 PM and I&#8217;d have to go to bed. So, I&#8217;ve seen the beginning of that movie (a lot). That&#8217;s good. That&#8217;s good. Okay. I thought I read or saw somewhere that you have a &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Um, all-time favorite athletes; probably Peyton Manning. He was a guy that I grew up with, uh, and just loved watching him. Again, it was always kind of between him and Tom Brady. Those were the two guys when I was growing up that were like the big, big names. God, it&#8217;s funny for Brady to still be doing it. Um, but, uh, I would say I&#8217;d have to go with, uh, Peyton Manning, um, and, uh, Rogers probably now Aaron Rogers, probably the guy I liked to watch the most now. But yeah, football guy, for sure; So, I have to pick a football player. Yeah. Okay.

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we are chatting with Dawn Rice from Write On! Creative Writing Center in Frisco. Dawn, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thanks for having me. It&#8217;s good to have you here. I am thrilled to chat with you today because, as you know, writing is a big part of what we do at Lifestyle Frisco. We have some very creative writers that come up with some wonderful ideas and concepts in the things that they do and you guys are in the business of teaching people writing and creative writing. And, um, so I&#8217;m just kind of fascinated by you and your story. What made you start this business? And, uh, how&#8217;s it going so far? I know you guys opened up back in March. So, kind of give us the background. Well, and as you said, back in March, we opened up and then everything went crazy right after we opened our doors. But, it gave opportunity for a lot of things that we wouldn&#8217;t have expected. And, um, and we&#8217;re going to chat about that a little later. But like, with zoom and, and, um, just being able to, um, you know, explore things and offer opportunities that maybe we might not have otherwise. But I&#8217;m a little background on Write On! is, um, as an educator, I, um, loved bringing writing to my students and, um, through some opportunities that I had, I was trained and, um, gained skills to make writing more exciting and fun for my, my students that I was teaching. And rather than have it just being, you know, one time per month that we would visit a writing piece, we made writing part of our day every day. And, um, so through that process, I was so excited that I could see the results of these, these students go from being reluctant, um, writers or struggling writers to being passionate writers and excited about it. And those who were already somewhat proficient, just growing in their skills. And so, um, when I moved here to Texas, Write On! was born in my home and I had writers come for camps and workshops. And again, just being able to share that experience and seeing the benefits of it in trans- you know, seeing how it translated into their school writings. And, um, it just was very exciting. And I&#8217;m sure very satisfying to watch them grow as writers and get better at what they do. Yes, yes. There&#8217;s nothing better than having a writer come to a workshop and being very apprehensive and really myself, not thinking, wow, not knowing where they&#8217;re going to be able to go that day. And then having a time where we call Author&#8217;s Chair and having the writer share and just being like, you know, shocked in a positive way to see the results. And I&#8217;m, that&#8217;s probably one of the most fulfilling things is just to see what writers come up with no matter what their skill level. So, when somebody comes to you and I&#8217;m sure heard this before, and they say, well, I&#8217;m not a natural writer. I&#8217;m not a talented writer, uh, or they just haven&#8217;t really done much writing in the past: how do you get somebody started? Like how do you see them with the right ideas or the right motivation to sort of dive in and start putting words to paper? Because I will admit, there are times, you know, I do most of my writing online, but opening it up to write a post for Lifestyle Frisco, go for example, um, you know, that blank page can be kind of daunting &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a piece of paper or, you know, on your screen. So, how do you, how do you get them moving in the right direction? No, I, that&#8217;s a great question. And, and really what we do is I think the approach is the best way I could put it. Um, if somebody comes in and tells me that they&#8217;re, you know, not a good writer or they&#8217;ve had negative experiences, or they don&#8217;t know where to start, really one of the, the phrases to live by is &#8220;the more you write, the better writer you become.&#8221; And that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to be writing essays to be a better writer. Um, you actually, any kind of writing. If you&#8217;re journal writing, if you&#8217;re writing to prompts, if you&#8217;re writing just fun stories or just letting your thoughts flow, you are writing and therefore becoming a better writer. So when writers come here to Write On! uh, we always start our workshops with a writing prompt, and they really aren&#8217;t connected necessarily to our lesson that we&#8217;re going to do that day; but, they are very easy to respond to prompts no matter what &#8230;]]></description>

Now, here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. Today we&#8217;re talking golf. We have our friend from UNT, Steven Tutor, here talking with us today. We&#8217;re going to talk a little bit about what&#8217;s going on in golf around Frisco. Thanks for joining us, Steven. How are you? Great. How are you doing? I&#8217;m good. All right. So, before we start talking about PGA and all things golf, I want to know a couple of quick hits about you. Like who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Favorite athlete? Probably Michael Jordan, I would say. Who&#8217;s your favorite team? Unfortunately, my favorite team is the Miami Dolphins. Unfortunately? They&#8217;re having a rough go. Yeah. Tough to be a Dolphins fan, I guess. It is. But you&#8217;re, man, that&#8217;s have you always been a Dolphins fan? You hanging in there and waiting for it to come around? Yeah Yeah. So, I have this weird eclectic group of teams that I follow. So, you know, about the time I was starting to follow sports in the early nineties, you know, the Dolphins had Dan Marino and I was rebelling against the Cowboy culture and I&#8217;ve, I&#8217;ve tried to stick with them. Yeah. Man, living around here. That&#8217;s tough. So, good for you. All right, what about sports movie? A sports movie. Now you have Ace Ventura in my head because you said Dan Marino and the Dolphins. So, is that what &#8211; I&#8217;m going to laugh if that&#8217;s your answer, but &#8211; Uh, no, I would have to go with a Happy Gilmore. Oh, love Happy Gilmore, yes! So, that&#8217;s a perfect segue into our golf conversation. All right. So then, um, what is your personal story and connection with golf? So, I&#8217;ve been playing for about 25 years, I guess, playing golf. I started in middle school. Um, I played as a junior and senior in high school and one of the first things I did after I graduated college and started working is I got an annual membership at a course and I started playing six or seven days a week. Wow. So, sometimes it was just three or four holes. Sometimes it was a full 18 after work. Um, but I got down to a six handicap. Um, and then I got married and had kids. And so now &#8211; then your golf game changes, right? Yes. Now I&#8217;m up to like 11, 12 handicap. But, it&#8217;s great living around Dallas and Frisco. So many options and so many courses. Yeah. So, now how often do you get to play? Well, I know we&#8217;re in the time of a pandemic. But, in normal life, before that changed, what was your normal schedule, golf pace? Uh, twice a month I would say was a good estimate. Yeah. I have friends that come down from Oklahoma &#8217;cause that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m from. And we&#8217;ll hit the gambit of pretty much every course, north of George Bush that we can play. Yeah, lots of golf around here. Okay. So, the big topic lately, right, is PGA. So, let&#8217;s talk about just kind of, what&#8217;s your take on the idea of PGA relocating here? I mean, I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m ecstatic and happy and I know there&#8217;s some people that aren&#8217;t as happy as me, maybe, but what&#8217;s your take on it? So, I&#8217;m really excited. Um, the fact that we&#8217;re going to have that whole development. Um, even if you don&#8217;t play golf, it&#8217;s going to be great with the hotel and all the tourism that can come in with that, the mixed-use development that&#8217;s going to be there. Um, I&#8217;m not as up to speed what&#8217;s going to happen. In my mind, I envisioned something similar to what&#8217;s at The Star, you know, with the restaurant and the other locations. Um, but then, the courses themselves having two 18-hole courses, championship level. Uh, the practice facility and the 10-whole short course. Um, my girls don&#8217;t play a lot; but, I take them out occasionally. So, that would be perfect for them. And then the benefit &#8211; having been a high school golfer &#8211; that all the Frisco schools will have having access to those facilities. Do you think it&#8217;s going to change, um, you know, five, ten years from now, do you think it will have changed our numbers here of youth golfers that grow into being golfers? I think so. I think just by having those available. Yeah. And, and it may even increase people moving here for that specific reason. Right. Cause when I grew up &#8211; Families that are, that are, you know, they know they&#8217;re having &#8211; have young golfers that are developing, they might say, well, let&#8217;s, let&#8217;s go get them closer to that access. Exactly. Because, right now that &#8230;]]></description>

FC Dallas&#8217; defender hasn&#8217;t had a linear path as a pro soccer player. In fact, we talk with Ryan about a few twists and turns. Around the same time he was drafted by FC Dallas, Ryan and his brother had the chance to see a dream come alive of building a non-denominal church near where they grew up. He chose the church being faithful that FCD would still be an option when he was ready, and says he wouldn&#8217;t change a thing. Icy roads on a cold night in January 2016 caused a car accident that then caused Ryan to pull over to help. While asking the driver if they needed an ambulance, a car hit Ryan launching him down the highway breaking 3 bones in his neck. After a lot of work and help from his medical providers, Ryan was able to find his way back to the soccer field and go on to become a clutch veteran player for FC Dallas in 2019.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Today on hustle and pro FC Dallas defender. Ryan Hollingshead joins us again, but today we&#8217;re talking about his career and the unique nature of his rookie season with the MLS. We&#8217;re also gonna talk about the serious accident that derailed his career, and now having a standout season here in 2020. Welcome Ryan Hollingshead. Ryan, who is your favorite athlete of all time? Oh my gosh. That&#8217;s that is so tough. Athlete of all time. I would say, I think Roger Federer is my favorite athlete of all time. LeBron James as well. Those are two of my, my like heroes in the sports world. And partly because of how dominant, how good they are at their, their craft and their support. But partly too, because they&#8217;re just stand up guys. Like Roger Federer has to be the most well loved athlete of all time, or at least up there with a few of them because of the way he handles himself off the court as well. And then LeBron, James is one of the guys that just is such like a faithful husband, faithful father, those sorts of things that I&#8217;m like, uh, I love when a player is not only exceeding on the court, but off the court. And both those guys do so exceedingly well. Do you have any sports superstitions? I mean, I have like a, yeah, kind of, I try, I try to not be superstitious, but like I have the same pair of shinguards that I&#8217;ve been wearing for the last 10 years. And they&#8217;re, you know, they&#8217;re only like six inches long. They&#8217;re tiny. They barely even work but 10 years. Yeah. But I will not ever play a game. Oh yeah. I need to, I need to show you a picture of him or something. Yeah. I live with soccer players. My husband still plays recreationally and my son plays, I can imagine how beat up they are and I can&#8217;t imagine they smell great. They can&#8217;t have much even do much anymore. They don&#8217;t. Not super helpful, but that&#8217;s probably the biggest one. The other one is just like, you know, you have a game day routine take in eating the meals in a certain time and stuff like that. But that&#8217;s the shin guards is probably my biggest superstition. You guys are probably off that routine. Your routines had to be altered a little with flying to away games game day instead of overnight. That&#8217;s probably another adjustment y&#8217;all are having to figure out in 2020, right? Yeah, that&#8217;s right. Yeah. We&#8217;ve, we&#8217;ve been flying in the day of and flying out immediately after the games to avoid all of this COVID stuff. And so that&#8217;s thrown off a little bit, but I still, I fight for all of the, I try to keep their routine as similar as I can. Yeah. Okay. This one&#8217;s easy. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Oh, there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s probably a couple of Miracle, Mighty Ducks, Rocky. Those are probably like a few that just come. Those came to my mind immediately. I think you&#8217;re, I think you&#8217;re 80 episodes in and you&#8217;re the first, I think you&#8217;re the first one who&#8217;s said Rocky, for sure. Rocky is classic. Oh my gosh. That&#8217;s awesome. All right. I&#8217;m curious. I think I read that you were a two sport athlete or multi-sport athletes in high school. So when I talked to professional athletes, um, I&#8217;m always curious how, how many sports you played up to what age and level, and when you decide to focus on the sport that you playing for a career. Oh man, that is such a hard question because I, I love like I&#8217;m so competitive. If you put anything in front of me, that&#8217;s competition and I&#8217;m talking like card game, you know, a different sport, tennis, basketball, soccer, uh, I mean I turned like everything into a competition. You know, if I finished an empty water bottle, I have a game with myself &#8230;]]></description>

Ryan Hollingshead joins us again, but today we&#8217;re talking about his career and the unique nature of his rookie season with the MLS. We&#8217;re also gonna talk about the serious accident that derailed his career, and now having a standout season here in 2020. Welcome Ryan Hollingshead. Ryan, who is your favorite athlete of all time? Oh my gosh. That&#8217;s that is so tough. Athlete of all time. I would say, I think Roger Federer is my favorite athlete of all time. LeBron James as well. Those are two of my, my like heroes in the sports world. And partly because of how dominant, how good they are at their, their craft and their support. But partly too, because they&#8217;re just stand up guys. Like Roger Federer has to be the most well loved athlete of all time, or at least up there with a few of them because of the way he handles himself off the court as well. And then LeBron, James is one of the guys that just is such like a faithful husband, faithful father, those sorts of things that I&#8217;m like, uh, I love when a player is not only exceeding on the court, but off the court. And both those guys do so exceedingly well. Do you have any sports superstitions? I mean, I have like a, yeah, kind of, I try, I try to not be superstitious, but like I have the same pair of shinguards that I&#8217;ve been wearing for the last 10 years. And they&#8217;re, you know, they&#8217;re only like six inches long. They&#8217;re tiny. They barely even work but 10 years. Yeah. But I will not ever play a game. Oh yeah. I need to, I need to show you a picture of him or something. Yeah. I live with soccer players. My husband still plays recreationally and my son plays, I can imagine how beat up they are and I can&#8217;t imagine they smell great. They can&#8217;t have much even do much anymore. They don&#8217;t. Not super helpful, but that&#8217;s probably the biggest one. The other one is just like, you know, you have a game day routine take in eating the meals in a certain time and stuff like that. But that&#8217;s the shin guards is probably my biggest superstition. You guys are probably off that routine. Your routines had to be altered a little with flying to away games game day instead of overnight. That&#8217;s probably another adjustment y&#8217;all are having to figure out in 2020, right? Yeah, that&#8217;s right. Yeah. We&#8217;ve, we&#8217;ve been flying in the day of and flying out immediately after the games to avoid all of this COVID stuff. And so that&#8217;s thrown off a little bit, but I still, I fight for all of the, I try to keep their routine as similar as I can. Yeah. Okay. This one&#8217;s easy. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Oh, there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s probably a couple of Miracle, Mighty Ducks, Rocky. Those are probably like a few that just come. Those came to my mind immediately. I think you&#8217;re, I think you&#8217;re 80 episodes in and you&#8217;re the first, I think you&#8217;re the first one who&#8217;s said Rocky, for sure. Rocky is classic. Oh my gosh. That&#8217;s awesome. All right. I&#8217;m curious. I think I read that you were a two sport athlete or multi-sport athletes in high school. So when I talked to professional athletes, um, I&#8217;m always curious how, how many sports you played up to what age and level, and when you decide to focus on the sport that you playing for a career. Oh man, that is such a hard question because I, I love like I&#8217;m so competitive. If you put anything in front of me, that&#8217;s competition and I&#8217;m talking like card game, you know, a different sport, tennis, basketball, soccer, uh, I mean I turned like everything into a competition. You know, if I finished an empty water bottle, I have a game with myself &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed Maybe it&#8217;s the competitive nature that pushed Ryan Hollingshead to the success he&#8217;s seen in the MLS. FC Dallas&#8217; defender hasn&#8217;t had a linear path as a pro soccer player. In fact, we talk with Ryan about a few twists and turns. Around the same time he was drafted by FC Dallas, Ryan and his brother had the chance to see a dream come alive of building a non-denominal church near where they grew up. He chose the church being faithful that FCD would still be an option when he was ready, and says he wouldn&#8217;t change a thing. Icy roads on a cold night in January 2016 caused a car accident that then caused Ryan to pull over to help. While asking the driver if they needed an ambulance, a car hit Ryan launching him down the highway breaking 3 bones in his neck. After a lot of work and help from his medical providers, Ryan was able to find his way back to the soccer field and go on to become a clutch veteran player for FC Dallas in 2019.

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And this episode, we&#8217;re chatting again with Charlie Wendell from Melody of Hope. Charlie, how are you? Charlie: Hey, Scott. I&#8217;m doing great. Thank you all so much for having me Scott: Glad to have you back on the podcast. And we&#8217;re going to talk about some of the changes to what&#8217;s happening with melody of hope and your events, and what&#8217;s been happening around town, but, where do we find you right now? Are you working from home or are you able to get out and about a little? Charlie: Yeah, it&#8217;s kind of, it&#8217;s both, you know, but even before COVID I worked out of my office and I joke that that&#8217;s how melody of hope is able to provide so much more funding towards our events and nonprofits is because I don&#8217;t have an office rent and I work from home. So it&#8217;s been great. Um, I&#8217;ve definitely been out and about, a lot of our networking groups have still been meeting and I&#8217;ve been meeting a lot of people on zoom as well. So it&#8217;s been kind of a hybrid for us over here. Scott: Very good. We&#8217;re glad to hear you&#8217;re staying safe and doing well. Um, so let&#8217;s talk a little bit about what&#8217;s coming up this year because the last time you and I actually had a chance to speak was almost a year ago at your big gala last year, hard to believe it&#8217;s already been that long. Um, but you guys are making some changes to how you operate and how you do things. So why don&#8217;t you kind of walk us through what&#8217;s going on? Charlie: Yeah, it&#8217;s crazy how fast a year goes by? I mean, I remember we recorded the podcast probably a year ago today, and then the gala was about 10 months, 11 months ago. So, um, yeah, we&#8217;ve been making a lot of changes. Our, our board decided even before all the COVID stuff happened that we wanted to kind of shift away from a gala. The gala&#8217;s been a really sweet spot for us and just a great event, but we, um, you know, it costs us about 40, 30 to 40 grand to put the gala on and, you know, all that&#8217;s on the cheaper side, we just thought maybe that would be that money could be used towards maybe hiring a big headliner or a big talent to come in and maybe do a music festival. And so we were already thinking about this idea of transitioning from a gala to a music festival as our big, you know, our signature event and just to help, you know, I think that would help bring tourism and, you know, bring people from all over the North Texas area to come into our city and to help that. So, yeah, we&#8217;ve, we&#8217;ve been transitioning to a music festival before COVID. Scott: Okay. Well, certainly for anybody that&#8217;s ever put on an event, like the gala that you guys were doing knows how much work and how expensive those can be. So I commend you guys for that decision. Um, it&#8217;s funny because I remember several years ago, uh, when Wendi and I were here in Frisco, there weren&#8217;t really any events happening or very few, you know, where you would kind of get dressed up and go out and go to, you know, a nice event like that. And now it seems like there&#8217;s a lot of them happening, especially around this time of year. So it&#8217;s interesting to hear how you guys are differentiating yourselves. Charlie: Yeah. It was also interesting because, you know, they&#8217;re, you know, the 90 10 rule, there&#8217;s like 10% of people that do 90% or go to 90% of events. And so we felt like we were maybe pulling from the same, you know, group of people and, you know, that&#8217;s expensive if you&#8217;re one of those, you know, 10% that goes to everything that gets kind of expensive to go to galas and, you know, while it&#8217;s helping good causes, we just thought maybe we&#8217;ll just bring the community together and have cheaper tickets, but still have a really big event. And so that&#8217;s kinda what, another reason we decided to switch to the festival. Scott: Yeah. And then the music festivals, a neat idea too, because it&#8217;s not really something we have in Frisco. I mean, there&#8217;ve been a couple of big, you know, um, Edge Fest and things that have come through town, nothing that&#8217;s local and, and focused on what you guys do. Charlie: Yeah. We had noticed that too. We did a little bit &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to hustle and pro season two, talking sports and Frisco from youth to pro. Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly. Kelly (00:30): Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of hustle and pro. John Grimes. How are you? John (00:35): I&#8217;m very well. Kelly, how are you today? Kelly (00:37): I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m excited to talk to you. I&#8217;ve talked to you many times before, but I am mostly excited for our audience to hear from you, um, to hear your story. So before we do that, let&#8217;s start with a couple of quick hits. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? John (00:52): My favorite athlete. I don&#8217;t know if I was prepared for that. Let&#8217;s go with Troy Aikman. Kelly (01:00): That&#8217;s good. I know it&#8217;s a lot of pressure to like declare your favorite athlete of all time, but Troy is a good one. You can&#8217;t go wrong with him. What&#8217;s your favorite sport? John (01:10): Soccer. Interesting choice for Troy Aikman. Isn&#8217;t it? I should have said Pele Kelly (01:16): They don&#8217;t always align. That&#8217;s okay. And sometimes I ask people there&#8217;s a difference in your favorite sport to watch, like, versus to play yourself? John (01:24): Yes, definitely. I don&#8217;t really, I don&#8217;t watch much soccer. Um, I just don&#8217;t. So my favorite sport to watch is either going to be baseball or football. Kelly (01:36): What about your favorite team? John (01:39): Well, that&#8217;s I don&#8217;t have a favorite team. I&#8217;ve got a couple of favorites. If that makes sense. It&#8217;s like talking to my kids. What&#8217;s your favorite color? And there&#8217;s like six of them. Um, so I like the Cowboys. I like the Mavericks. I like most of the Dallas teams of course, cause we&#8217;re here of course, but I&#8217;m from Ohio. So I also like the Cincinnati teams when it comes to baseball and football. And when it comes to football, the Bengals, it&#8217;s a, that&#8217;s a love, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s a tough love situation. Um, I&#8217;ve growing up in the eighties in Ohio, you had a Boomer Esiason and, and Ickey Woods and James Brown and all the Sam White, all those guys. And um, so they&#8217;re in the AFC Cowboys are in the NFC. So that&#8217;s how I balance those favorites. And then the reds are in the, um, national league and the Rangers are in the American league. So they don&#8217;t meet that often. Kelly (02:35): You can do that until the world series or the super bowl, and then you&#8217;re in trouble and you gotta pick somebody. John (02:39): I would probably pick the Rangers cause they need a world series. Kelly (02:43): Yeah, for sure. For sure. We&#8217;re going to have a world series in Arlington this year. It just won&#8217;t be the Rangers playing in it. We&#8217;re hosting it. It&#8217;s here. It&#8217;s been announced. It&#8217;s official. We&#8217;re getting the final, what we&#8217;re getting, we&#8217;re getting a couple different parts of the playoffs, but they&#8217;re doing some different bubbles scenarios and we are getting like the world series at the new ballpark. Yeah, that&#8217;s awesome. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? John (03:04): Bull Durham. I could recite most of it if you want me to right now. Kelly (03:09): No, I don&#8217;t need you to, but I believe you because I know you are a movies, movies and music guy. So I know that you can recite plenty of things. John (03:17): Sports movies are tough because it&#8217;s really hard to get sports, you know, fake sports caught on, on video, you know, like play a baseball game. I mean, as a good sports in the movie. No, no, no, but that end, um, what&#8217;s the movie, other baseball movie, um, with the Cleveland, the Cleveland Indians. Major league. So I would say Bull Durham, um, and major league. Yeah, Kelly (03:39): Baseball wise. You got, you got major league and field of dreams and like a lot. I love a little kids, all movie, no good sports actually happening so much in the movies, but they&#8217;re just fun to watch. Yeah. All right. So I want to explain to our listeners, uh, I mentioned how we know or that we know each other. So how we know each other before you and I even know each other, you, um, knew my husband know, knew my husband, Ryan. That&#8217;s correct. So, and then John (04:07): We went to high school together. Kelly (04:08): I went to high school together. And then you and I met in college in Lubbock at Texas tech. &#8230;]]></description>

Today we have fellow podcaster Nick Angstadt here to talk to us about some Mavs. Nick, along with Mavs writer, Isaac Harris, hosts Locked On Mavs podcast, a daily dose of Mavs insight. So thanks for joining us today, Nick, how are you? Nick: Absolutely doing okay. Today. Mavs season is over wish it could have lasted just a little bit longer. Maybe even stretched it to a game seven or something, but yeah, man, that Clippers team was an absolute buzzsaw and Hey, it was an awesome season. We&#8217;ve been saying on the podcast and everything that the Mavericks are going to do in the playoffs is just cake compared to, you know, the future of this team. So feeling good about the maps going forward and everyone else should too, for sure. Kelly: Good. Yeah, it&#8217;s tough. We just kind of, you know, we got over the hopefully the quick lull, of being done and now you can look forward to that. So we&#8217;ll talk about that. Okay. Before we jump into that though, I do have a few quick hits that I like to ask all my guests just to get a, get a pulse on, on you. So who would you say is your favorite athlete? Just all time favorite Nick: Man, my favorite all time athlete. I mean, it seems so cliche to say, but Dirk Nowitzky. I mean, how can you pick somebody else besides him? Just that&#8217;s not cliche. That&#8217;s awesome. The time that the time that I got to spend covering the Mavericks and being in the locker room and being around him in moments where the cameras weren&#8217;t necessarily on him, but, you know, cameras are always on him and in some capacity or another, but just seeing how he interacted with fans that got brought to him after a tough game or after a really bad loss or after even just a late night, the way that he interacted with fans, the way that he does his, you know, Dirk Hero Celebrity, you know, baseball game and things like that, the Dirk Foundation, the tennis tournaments, you know, all the things I saw from Dirk. And then on top of that, just as play the fact that he&#8217;s the greatest Maverick of all time, you know, he, he&#8217;s definitely my favorite athlete. Um, Kelly: It&#8217;s not cliche, it&#8217;s cliche. If somebody says it that just randomly pulls it out of the air and doesn&#8217;t know much about Dirk, but when you have that, you know, off the court Dirk experience, and then you say it, that&#8217;s what it means. You know, it means something that you really know who he is on off the court and still appreciate him and say he&#8217;s the best. So I love that. Nick: Yeah. It took, it just took it to another level. You know, once you, you know, they say never meet your heroes, Dirk is one where you want to meet the hero. Right? Like he is the one where you&#8217;re like, man, that guy lived up to everything. I would hope for and more. There&#8217;s just, there&#8217;s never really a bad day in his world. There&#8217;s a man. I&#8217;m glad he didn&#8217;t take that job in Brooklyn because I think it would be so weird if he, if he was part of the Brooklyn nets organization. I don&#8217;t know if you follow that stuff. Kelly: Yeah. He needs to stick around here. Well, you know, and, and with, um, our buddy Steve Nash being up there. Yeah. It doesn&#8217;t hurt with Steve being up there so much, but yeah, it would hurt a little bit if Dirk was gone from here and went to another team after all that time. All right. What about your favorite sports movie? Nick: Oh man. My favorite sports movie that is, that&#8217;s a tough one. Um, Space Jam is probably up there. Um, I love a crossover with, with Jordan. I love the uh, no, the bill Murray moments in that. Um, yeah, no, I can&#8217;t really think of a lot of sports movies I&#8217;m super into, but yeah. Kelly: Are you ready for space jam 2? Nick: Oh, I guess it&#8217;s ready. As anyone can be. It&#8217;s like, I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s like they went back and they&#8217;re trying to add to, you know, something that was perfect to begin with. So I guess I&#8217;m, I guess I&#8217;m ready for it. They released the jerseys recently and they looked kind of weird. And so I&#8217;m just, I&#8217;m just expecting of everything to be &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of hustle and pro. So today I felt a little bit of sports pain from some of the sports that I&#8217;ve been playing this summer and trying to nurse an ankle injury. You&#8217;ve probably heard me talk about, so we&#8217;re going to talk about that today. We have Andre and April Patterson here to talk with this. Hi guys. How are y&#8217;all doing? Good. I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m great. It&#8217;s Friday. All right. So first I want to know a little bit about your connection to sports and, uh, let&#8217;s see, who would you say is your favorite athlete? Oh man. I, you know, this might be controversial these days, but one of my favorite athletes is LeBron James. Yes. Controversial. Sure, sure, But, but yeah, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s a good common answer. So then what are your favorite sports? So I&#8217;d say basketball is by far probably my favorite. We&#8217;re a martial artists family. So of course, you know, I, I love the, the, you know, ground and pound UFC, right. Um, you know, these days we&#8217;re so busy, we don&#8217;t get a chance to watch as much, but I tend to watch the highlights. So when you say you&#8217;re a martial arts family, you, did you participate when you were younger in that? Or is that something like your children currently? Yeah. We&#8217;re all TaeKwonDo black belts except for the three year old. Not yet. And hopefully you will be testing for a second Dan soon. Wow. Out of the blue, I would have never thought. I mean, you know, we clean up, well. This isn&#8217;t my top of mind, like mainstream guess of, you know, what&#8217;s happening in sports. Cause it&#8217;s not my, my lane, but that&#8217;s awesome. It&#8217;s fascinating to me, man. We need another episode on it. Okay. We&#8217;ll do that next time. So one more quick hit too. So then, Oh, I bet I can guess this. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Oh man. You&#8217;re going to say karate kid. Aren&#8217;t you? Actually, now that you say that I&#8217;ve been watching Cobra Kai a lot lately. So I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s my favorite sports movie. It&#8217;s a classic. Um, but right now Cobra,Kai has been awesome. It&#8217;s been a continuation of the story and I think it&#8217;s been great. So it&#8217;s awesome. Yeah. I love it. All right. So tell me, um, in addition to that, you know, that background, what is your background? What&#8217;s your story? And it&#8217;ll lead us also into telling us like talking about pain and kind of pain management too. Sure, sure. No. Um, basically I grew up in the area I grew up in, in the Dallas area, of course, just like many people in Texas. I played football. Right. So that was kinda my, my intro to sports. My wife on her other hand is much more ingrained in sports. I&#8217;ve played sports since the age of four or five. What sports? Softball. And then, in middle school I added volleyball and basketball actually. I&#8217;m sorry. I played basketball since I was five as well. So, volleyball, basketball, softball, and then I power lift and my senior year of high school. And now I&#8217;m a martial artist cause I like torture in my body. That&#8217;s awesome. You had me at softball and basketball and volleyball those sports, but I can not say the power lifting part. So I only did it for a year, but I got pretty pretty far in, when I competed in high school. I bet you learned a ton about that. I did. I did. And I loved the way it made me feel in some way. I love the way that like I felt strong, you know, but it was, it was kind of rough on the body. It was the first time where I started to really feel like the aches and pains without when you don&#8217;t know proper maintenance, &#8230;]]></description>

In the United States, it&#8217;s only just now catching up to the widespread use for many years in the UK. At Frisco&#8217;s own Xscape Pain, people are getting red light therapy treatment to take care of their chronic pain, sports injuries, skin issues, and even hair regrowth. How does it work?

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of hustle and pro. So today I felt a little bit of sports pain from some of the sports that I&#8217;ve been playing this summer and trying to nurse an ankle injury. You&#8217;ve probably heard me talk about, so we&#8217;re going to talk about that today. We have Andre and April Patterson here to talk with this. Hi guys. How are y&#8217;all doing? Good. I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m great. It&#8217;s Friday. All right. So first I want to know a little bit about your connection to sports and, uh, let&#8217;s see, who would you say is your favorite athlete? Oh man. I, you know, this might be controversial these days, but one of my favorite athletes is LeBron James. Yes. Controversial. Sure, sure, But, but yeah, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s a good common answer. So then what are your favorite sports? So I&#8217;d say basketball is by far probably my favorite. We&#8217;re a martial artists family. So of course, you know, I, I love the, the, you know, ground and pound UFC, right. Um, you know, these days we&#8217;re so busy, we don&#8217;t get a chance to watch as much, but I tend to watch the highlights. So when you say you&#8217;re a martial arts family, you, did you participate when you were younger in that? Or is that something like your children currently? Yeah. We&#8217;re all TaeKwonDo black belts except for the three year old. Not yet. And hopefully you will be testing for a second Dan soon. Wow. Out of the blue, I would have never thought. I mean, you know, we clean up, well. This isn&#8217;t my top of mind, like mainstream guess of, you know, what&#8217;s happening in sports. Cause it&#8217;s not my, my lane, but that&#8217;s awesome. It&#8217;s fascinating to me, man. We need another episode on it. Okay. We&#8217;ll do that next time. So one more quick hit too. So then, Oh, I bet I can guess this. ]]></itunes:summary>

SHOW NOTES: [00:40] Intro to Beth Crain [1:56] How Beyond is different [4:45] Full Body [6:00] Changes due to COVID-19 [12:23] Gyms may be safer than you think [15:15] Pop Up studio (Legacy &#38; Lebanon) and future studio (Lebanon &#38; 4th Army) [19:10] Fall Challenge LINKS &#38; RESOURCES: Beyond Pilates on Lifestyle Frisco &#124; Facebook &#124; Instagram Connect with Lifestyle Frisco on:  YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Transcript Machine-generated. Kelly (00:06): Welcome to the Frisco podcast and welcome to Beth Crain with BEYOND Pilates. We&#8217;re talking health and fitness today. Welcome Beth, how are you? I&#8217;m good. Thanks for having me. Yeah, thank you for joining us. So we have talked to you before on The Frisco Podcast, but a lot has changed a lot has changed in everybody&#8217;s lives, but I want to learn to see what&#8217;s changed and how things have evolved over at beyond since we last talked to you here. Um, so can you just kind of get us started with sort of the basics, first of all, who you are and introduce yourself to us and how you&#8217;re connected to BEYOND. Beth (00:40): Absolutely. Well, I am Beth and I am the owner of BEYOND Pilates here in Frisco. We opened at the very end of 2017. So we&#8217;re coming up on our third birthday, which we&#8217;re super excited about. This year we&#8217;re celebrating by adding our second studio in West Frisco. So I think we&#8217;ll talk about that a little later in the podcast. Anyways, I have an amazing, amazing team of instructors and studio staff and an on-staff nutrition coach over at BEYOND. Um, and we just, we work with men and women from like 16 to senior citizens every week. And, um, just help everyone get stronger and stay healthy. Kelly (01:22): Well, one of the people that you have worked with is me recently. So, um, one thing I, I guess, you know, to communicate to the audience, a couple of words that, that remind me of being in there, so work zone. So these teachers get you in these positions and you work really specific muscle groups, and then they, then they hit you with the surprise that you&#8217;re about to get into a work zone. And, you know, you&#8217;re going to hold, so do the, do these other movements. So, um, I feel those four days and I love that feeling sore. You feel like, you know, you can tell you did something good. So give me sort of the philosophy on these moves and how this, how going to BEYOND is different than, um, maybe hitting a yoga yoga studio or doing just hit classes at a gym or all the other things that people do for fitness. Beth (02:10): Yes. So people walk into the studio all the time and are like, I need to do Pilates that I need to stretch. And our first reaction is always like, Oh, well, we&#8217;re not exactly a stretching studio. Um, you do work on your flexibility while you&#8217;re there, but really by nature, Pilates is meant for strength training and, um, resistance training and a low impact environment. So you&#8217;re not like jumping up and down and pounding on your joints, which gets important as we get older. So our classes are 45 minute format, always, using equipment. So you&#8217;ll either be using our Pilates reformers, which have been fully customized to the way that we run our classes at BEYOND, or the Pilates chair. Um, and then we throw in a little, some other accessories to keep it interesting. Um, you&#8217;ll always get a full body workout. So you&#8217;re going with the reformer studio, our signature 45 minute class. You&#8217;re going to get upper body, lower body and core every time you go beyond. Um, and then we also have a studio that&#8217;s more like Pilates interval training, which combines Pilates chairs with kettlebells for like an amazing calorie torching 30 minute session. Um, and that is either your abs and arms format or abs and ass. Um, and that one is just like drenching, sweat. I don&#8217;t think you were able to do it when you were in the studio this month, but. Kelly (03:30): Well, just because I didn&#8217;t do that one doesn&#8217;t mean I wasn&#8217;t drenching sweat. I was drenched with the basic class, so I love it. Beth (03:37): And it&#8217;s not, I mean, it&#8217;s not basic. And I think what&#8217;s amazing about the way we teach our classes at BEYOND, um, one what I found cause I was a client at the Dallas studio before, um, we talked to the woman who created it and we&#8217;re able to bring it up to Frisco. So, um, I loved that everything was set to music. It&#8217;s like a rhythm based Pilates class kind of like, I don&#8217;t know, soul cycle. Exactly. Even though we were in Dallas before SoulCycle was so credit to Brandy Marino for creating our concept. The classes fly by because of the music. And like, even if you&#8217;re in the worst of it, like, you &#8230;]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; We&#8217;re shining a light on Childhood Cancer Awareness Month again this week! This time we Zoom with a special young man, Jaxon, and his parents, Jason and Shay, who have fought hard and put trust in the process since a cancer diagnosis in December 2019. He&#8217;s been through knee surgeries, lung surgery, and chemotherapy treatments — more than any 12-year-old should have to experience. Jaxon doesn&#8217;t want other patients to feel lonely. He&#8217;s a cheerleader for others on his sports teams. He likes to make others smile and laugh. Jaxon&#8217;s message is to stay strong and &#8220;trust the process.&#8221; We can all draw inspiration from Jaxon, Shay, and Jason as they lean in and stay positive. Enjoy our chat with Jaxon and his parents, and explore other episodes of Hustle &#38; Pro. &#160; Show Notes [00:33] Jaxon&#8217;s story &#38; message [2:26] How Jaxon makes others smile [3:00] Relationships and family [6:45] Jaxon&#8217;s sports: track and soccer (and tennis one day!)

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro. Today we have a VIP guest. Jaxon is one of the youngest athletes that we&#8217;ve talked to, but I hope you&#8217;ll agree that his positivity and fight is unforgettable and big. In fact, his favorite athlete is Dez Bryant. He loves watching basketball and football. He plays soccer and he runs track. He also wants to learn how to play tennis and his favorite sports movie is Kicking and Screaming starring Will Ferrell. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. So we wanted to feature Jaxon&#8217;s story on this episode to explain what he and his family had been going through and so that we can all learn a little bit more from them. So Jaxon&#8217;s mom, Shay is here to give us a quick rundown on what the last nine months have looked like for their family since they got Jaxon&#8217;s diagnosis in December of 2019. Shay: We started this journey in December, right before Christmas. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which affects the bone, the joint of the bones and immediately we started chemo, we started treatment right away. So he&#8217;s gone through a couple of surgeries. He had to have a total knee replacement on his right leg first. Um, and then because the cancer had already spread to his lungs, he had to have a surgery on his left lung, and then we&#8217;ll have to have one more surgery on the right lung. Um, but lots of chemo, lots of therapy and treatment. He began physical therapy kind of pretty much so right after he had the first knee replacement. Um, but I would say he has, I mean, made leaps and bounds through this. He has just ran his way, like he was running towards the finish line, um, trying to try to beat this. And we&#8217;re almost there. We&#8217;re almost there. Kelly: That&#8217;s a lot, Jaxon. That&#8217;s a lot of surgeries and procedures and treatments. It&#8217;s probably, you know, your life that you were used to probably changed a hundred percent right away, right. With all the different treatments and everything. So what is your attitude? What do you feel like and what kind of things do you like to tell people about you and your journey? Jaxon: Stay strong? Kelly: Yeah.  I&#8217;ve heard people talk about, um, that you like to spread positivity. Like when you&#8217;re in a hospital, getting treatments and, and recovering that you make people laugh. So what are some of the things that you do to put a smile on people&#8217;s faces? Jaxon: Um maybe I can make them laugh and make a stick man and pass them up to kids so they don&#8217;t feel alone. Kelly: Oh, cool. I also heard there&#8217;s a, I think I say this word, right. You probably know how to say big medical words better than I do, but a phlebotomist that you guys have become friends with at your hospital or one of the places that you get treatment. Do you know what I&#8217;m talking about? Jaxon: Ms. Sharon. Kelly: Ms. Sharon. Tell me about Ms. Sharon. Jaxon: She&#8217;s nice and funny. She&#8217;s also really, really strict and supports me. Kelly: That&#8217;s sweet. So parents, Shay and Jason, when you are, I know I&#8217;m not saying looking back yet, cause I know you are still in this fight and going through this process, but when you look at it, what are some of the, do you have also relationships that you guys have built that you will look back on and cherish through through this experience? Shay: We&#8217;ve had tons of support from family, friends, friends of friends, people that we don&#8217;t even know, my husband&#8217;s job, um, we&#8217;ve just had such an outpour of love from the community as a whole, during this situation. I mean more, more than I could even mention. Um, and we are so grateful for some of the new relationships that have formed throughout this process. We&#8217;ve met some great other, some great people that have a foundations like the Brandon MacPherson foundation, um, met some ladies there and they instantly reached out to our family and it was like anything that we can do to support. And the hospital itself, Ms. Sharon like Jaxon mentioned. She&#8217;s so sweet. Um, very supportive to us. Lots of encouragement. I remember when I first met her, you know, she said, it&#8217;s not going to be easy, but you stay strong, mama. And &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: We welcome Georgia McKee to the show. She&#8217;s just started her senior year of college, where she plays Bruin softball at Belmont University. Hello, and welcome to Hustle and Pro, Georgia. Georgia: Thanks for having me. Kelly: Yeah. Thanks for joining us. So I want to start with a few quick hits to sort of get to know you and, and your sports life a little bit better. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Georgia: I have to say Abby Wambach. Kelly: What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? We know you&#8217;re a softball player, but if you&#8217;re just sitting down to watch sports or go to watch sports, what is it that you&#8217;re watching? Georgia: Hockey. I love watching hockey. I&#8217;m a Nashville Predators fan. Kelly: Oh, okay. Oh, because you live in Nashville now. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Georgia: Uh, does the Sandlot count? Kelly: For sure. Yeah. I love those little guys. Okay. Do you have any sports superstitions? Georgia: Yeah, every game day I put my uniform on the exact same way. So it&#8217;s like left sock, right. Sock every time. Like everything goes on the same time, even my cleats. Kelly: All right. So let&#8217;s rewind a little bit. So before college softball, even before Wakeland softball, what sports, what it&#8217;s work look like for you as a kid? How many sports did you play and for how long? Like how far into your life? Georgia: Yeah, I played a lot of sports at Griffin middle school when I went there. So I played volleyball, soccer. I was a goalie there. That was my only year of soccer, seventh grade. I was done after that and basketball. So I played a lot in middle school, but then once I got to high school, I just focused on softball. Kelly: I&#8217;m fascinated by catchers. So I&#8217;m going to ask you a couple of things about catching. One thing I wanted to know, what you mentioned was at what age did you commit to full time catching? Because I know in little league, like the, literally my kids played in, um, it&#8217;s hard. If there&#8217;s not a kid that really wants to do it, it&#8217;s hard to then identify who has the right skill or body type or whatever it is that, um, you need on that team to play. And so you get to an age where a full time catcher can make or break your team. So at what age did you kind of commit to being that player? Georgia: It wasn&#8217;t really until my freshman year of high school, which is actually pretty late to start catching. Um, I was a third baseman, played some middle infield and my team just needed to catch up one tournament. I think we were in California and both of our catchers, like one got a broken nose and I forgot what, like what happened to the other one, but they were like, Georgia, like you want to do it? And I said, sure. And so that&#8217;s just how I fell in love with catching cause I just, just thrown in there. And I watched YouTube videos of baseball and softball catchers and learned how to do it really quickly. Kelly: Oh my gosh. So then you&#8217;ve been catching, you caught four years in high school and now you&#8217;re going into your fourth, so you&#8217;ve done three seasons of college. So as a catcher, do you talk to the batters? Georgia: I don&#8217;t. There&#8217;s times, like if I know them or if, like I noticed some of the girls at our conference or like when every time we play Ole Miss, I have a couple of teammates that I used to play with, um, that go there. And so I&#8217;ll talk to them then, but usually we&#8217;re pretty locked in. I don&#8217;t want to be like that annoying girl that&#8217;s like trying to distract you. I just like to play the game, how it is. Kelly: But you&#8217;re not trying to get in anybody&#8217;s head or play any mind games. Georgia: No, I think it&#8217;s more of a baseball thing. I think we just kind of like to stick to the plan. I&#8217;m really focused on my pitcher at the time and making sure we&#8217;re on the same page and we communicate a lot. And so that&#8217;s really what I mainly focus on. Kelly: Yeah. So let&#8217;s talk about communicating. I&#8217;m also fascinated. One of the things is signals and how you communicate. So, um, do you hang out with your pitchers outside of normal softball world and how many signals do you have and you know, what, how do you guys communicate? And, and during innings? Georgia: Yeah, one of our pitchers is my roommate. And so we spend a lot of time together outside of softball and the, all my pictures. I try to spend a lot of time with &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: We welcome Georgia McKee to the show. She&#8217;s just started her senior year of college, where she plays Bruin softball at Belmont University. Hello, and welcome to Hustle and Pro, Georgia. Georgia: Thanks for having me. Kelly: Yeah. Thanks for joining us. So I want to start with a few quick hits to sort of get to know you and, and your sports life a little bit better. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Georgia: I have to say Abby Wambach. Kelly: What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? We know you&#8217;re a softball player, but if you&#8217;re just sitting down to watch sports or go to watch sports, what is it that you&#8217;re watching? Georgia: Hockey. I love watching hockey. I&#8217;m a Nashville Predators fan. Kelly: Oh, okay. Oh, because you live in Nashville now. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Georgia: Uh, does the Sandlot count? Kelly: For sure. Yeah. I love those little guys. Okay. Do you have any sports superstitions? Georgia: Yeah, every game day I put my uniform on the exact same way. So it&#8217;s like left sock, right. Sock every time. Like everything goes on the same time, even my cleats. Kelly: All right. So let&#8217;s rewind a little bit. So before college softball, even before Wakeland softball, what sports, what it&#8217;s work look like for you as a kid? How many sports did you play and for how long? Like how far into your life? Georgia: Yeah, I played a lot of sports at Griffin middle school when I went there. So I played volleyball, soccer. I was a goalie there. That was my only year of soccer, seventh grade. I was done after that and basketball. So I played a lot in middle school, but then once I got to high school, I just focused on softball. Kelly: I&#8217;m fascinated by catchers. So I&#8217;m going to ask you a couple of things about catching. One thing I wanted to know, what you mentioned was at what age did you commit to full time catching? Because I know in little league, like the, literally my kids played in, um, it&#8217;s hard. If there&#8217;s not a kid that really wants to do it, it&#8217;s hard to then identify who has the right skill or body type or whatever it is that, um, you need on that team to play. And so you get to an age where a full time catcher can make or break your team. So at what age did you kind of commit to being that player? Georgia: It wasn&#8217;t really until my freshman year of high school, which is actually pretty late to start catching. Um, I was a third baseman, played some middle infield and my team just needed to catch up one tournament. I think we were in California and both of our catchers, like one got a broken nose and I forgot what, like what happened to the other one, but they were like, Georgia, like you want to do it? And I s]]></itunes:summary>

Kelly: Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of the Frisco podcast. Sitting in for Scott Ellis today I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. We&#8217;re talking nonprofits and community giving today. We have Communities Foundation of Texas with us and joining us with Communities Foundation of Texas. We have Sarah Beeks Humphrey. She is the Director of Charitable Giving Collin County and Jeri Chambers, the Donors Relations Officer Collin County. Welcome ladies. How are you guys doing today? Thank you, Kelly. It&#8217;s a pleasure to be here today. Thank you for the opportunity. Yeah. We&#8217;re excited to tell our audience about what you&#8217;re doing over there at Communities Foundation of Texas. So to give us just sort of a little history, can you, um, can you give us a brief history and what Communities Foundation of Texas is? Sarah: Absolutely. Communities Foundation of Texas is the largest community foundation in the state of Texas. We were founded in 1953 and we were founded by a number of philanthropic families that saw the need and certainly the benefit of a community foundation to serve the nonprofits and the individuals and the businesses to really match the needs that are in the community with the philanthropists and those that want to have life improved in DFW and in North Texas. So we started our community foundation as the Community Chest Trust, and that was back in 1953. So we&#8217;ve been in operation here in DFW and North Texas for a good number of years. We run several programs in house, such as our Educate Texas program, which is a statewide program, transforming public K through 12 and higher education systems across the state of Texas, really trying to improve every student&#8217;s chance for success through our programs that we run our partnerships that we have with a number of foundations and individuals and corporations across the United States and our policy work. So we have staff in Dallas and in Austin working with the state legislature on policy issues for education. And then we also have staff in the Rio Grande Valley working with very at risk youth in working to get resources for them, for improvement of the education system in the Rio Grande Valley. Kelly: We probably, um, with Educate Texas, it wasn&#8217;t something I was very familiar with before, you know, learning about you guys. That&#8217;s probably something that touches, like you said, all over Texas. Many of us that have school age children sounds like it reaches everyone K through 12. That&#8217;s probably something that you guys are impacting, you know, our daily lives and we not even know it. Sarah: That&#8217;s exactly right. That&#8217;s exactly right. Our partners are the school districts, the colleges, the universities across the state of Texas, obviously the businesses and the workforce organizations working on workforce development, many philanthropic agencies and foundations across the country, as well as the state of Texas. And of course the state agencies and policy-making organizations to really change the trajectory of how like education going forward. So we work with foundations, corporations, the Texas education agency, as well as the Texas workforce commission to really make education a priority in the state of Texas. Kelly: That&#8217;s a big one. What are some other initiatives that you guys have? Sarah: Yes, indeed. We also work with the Working Families Success model, and that is an economic security for working families. It is providing a framework for nonprofits to deliver key services and financial support, to low income families using an integrated approach for many nonprofit agencies working together in three core services. So we work with employment services to provide skill assessment, job training, and job search and placement assistance. We also work with businesses and corporations on income support or benefits, screening applications, assistance, um, housing assistance, tax prep, and such. And we also provide an opportunity for the third area, which is the financial coaching. So it provides financial education counseling access to financial services. So that is a another really important program that our philanthropic team are really in charge of and make sure that they are addressing the issues in the low income families so that we can provide some additional assistance and provide resources to help them, their families going forward. Kelly: Can you tell me about the WW Caruth Jr. Fund and what that is? Sarah: Yes. The WW Caruth Jr Fund is one of our large, uh, supporting organizations that is administered through CFT., WW Caruth Jr and his family set up the fund with CFT back in 1974. And the thrust of this fund was to provide transformational multi-year grants in the areas of education, health, and scientific research and public safety. So it&#8217;s a large portion of our asset base. Communities Foundation of Texas, $1.2 billion under management assets under management. And that includes over a thousand donor advised funds &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: September is childhood cancer awareness month. It&#8217;s the leading cause of death by disease for children under 14. I think it&#8217;s great that we, um, shed light on this this month, but I think we need to do a lot more than one month&#8217;s worth. So, um, there&#8217;s a lot we can do. And we have a special guest joining us today on hustle and pro who is doing more. I&#8217;m very stoked to welcome FC Dallas is Ryan Hollingshead, hi, Ryan Kelly. Thanks for having me on yeah, fresh after training. Thank you for zooming with me and talking to me a little bit about what&#8217;s going on with what you&#8217;re doing for childhood cancer awareness month. So, um, I wonder if we could start with you telling me a little about, um, the Jessie Rees Foundation and what NEGU is? Ryan: Yeah, so the Jessie Rees Foundation and their kind of slogan that they&#8217;re known by NEGU, which is just, uh, stands for never, ever give up, uh, they&#8217;re a childhood cancer awareness kind of nonprofit that I got connected to through one of my good friends, uh, at UCLA at school there who then after he graduated, joined staff at this nonprofit. And so the nonprofit has been, they&#8217;re honestly very well known and, and connected very well in the sports world and the athlete world. So, uh, they&#8217;ve got, you know, NFL players that support them. They&#8217;ve got a lot of MLS players that support them, MBA, uh, college football. So they&#8217;ve kind of just spread through, um, through what they stand for and then through the different connections they have with the members of their staff. So a lot of, you know, X UCLA players or USC players. They&#8217;re based down in orange County in California. So I know a lot of their connections come through that, but yeah, Kelly: I didn&#8217;t realize that was your connection with them when I was looking, um, to learn a little more before I talked to you. Yeah. There were a lot of, I think they call them all stars and different kinds of celebrities and athletes that partner up with them. And some of the names that stood out to me, Pat Mahomes, Sam Darnold, Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Madison Kocian, I love gymnasts, Sam Ehlinger and Shane Buechele here at SMU. So yeah, there&#8217;s a lot of different types of sports involved too. It&#8217;s partnered up with them. Ryan: Yeah. And it&#8217;s pretty amazing what they&#8217;ve done and the connections they&#8217;ve been able to make. And I think it&#8217;s because of what they stand for and who they are as an organization. It seems like, uh, you know, for me personally, it was an easy decision to make because of the way that they&#8217;re coming around and supporting these younger kiddos who are struggling through a crazy battle with cancer. And so a lot of these kids, especially, um, you know, being in hospital setting settings and going through chemo and, and being stuck in a hospital bed, a lot of what they&#8217;re able to do is watch sports and watch TV and watch these games. And so, uh, being able to step into that role and being able to step into that space with them has been really special. But yeah, like you said, there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s been a lot of, of awesome, um, presence in terms of athletes and different stars connected to their organizations. Yeah. Kelly: It&#8217;s really neat. They do a lot of things. So the way I understand it, um, the namesake, Jessie Reese, she was a little girl who fought cancer back in 2011 and 12 and, um, kind of her, her tag line, her, her catch phrase, the thing that she wanted, everyone to kind of remember, that&#8217;s where we get this, this NEGU from. Right. And when we say that, we&#8217;re saying N E G U, and do you wanna tell us what that is? Ryan: Yeah. So NEGU is never ever give up. That was the phrase that kind of stuck and became their slogan and their motto. And yeah, they had a daughter that the founders of this organization had a daughter who passed due to childhood cancer. That is kind of what spurred this move to starting this organization and helping these kiddos fight against what you said and your stat, which I had never heard before, but is the leading cause of deaths in this age of children. Kelly: I got that probably from this foundation website, being the leading cause of death by disease for children under 14, I &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: September is childhood cancer awareness month. It&#8217;s the leading cause of death by disease for children under 14. I think it&#8217;s great that we, um, shed light on this this month, but I think we need to do a lot more than one month&#8217;s worth. So, um, there&#8217;s a lot we can do. And we have a special guest joining us today on hustle and pro who is doing more. I&#8217;m very stoked to welcome FC Dallas is Ryan Hollingshead, hi, Ryan Kelly. Thanks for having me on yeah, fresh after training. Thank you for zooming with me and talking to me a little bit about what&#8217;s going on with what you&#8217;re doing for childhood cancer awareness month. So, um, I wonder if we could start with you telling me a little about, um, the Jessie Rees Foundation and what NEGU is? Ryan: Yeah, so the Jessie Rees Foundation and their kind of slogan that they&#8217;re known by NEGU, which is just, uh, stands for never, ever give up, uh, they&#8217;re a childhood cancer awareness kind of nonprofit that I got connected to through one of my good friends, uh, at UCLA at school there who then after he graduated, joined staff at this nonprofit. And so the nonprofit has been, they&#8217;re honestly very well known and, and connected very well in the sports world and the athlete world. So, uh, they&#8217;ve got, you know, NFL players that support them. They&#8217;ve got a lot of MLS players that support them, MBA, uh, college football. So they&#8217;ve kind of just spread through, um, through what they stand for and then through the different connections they have with the members of their staff. So a lot of, you know, X UCLA players or USC players. They&#8217;re based down in orange County in California. So I know a lot of their connections come through that, but yeah, Kelly: I didn&#8217;t realize that was your connection with them when I was looking, um, to learn a little more before I talked to you. Yeah. There were a lot of, I think they call them all stars and different kinds of celebrities and athletes that partner up with them. And some of the names that stood out to me, Pat Mahomes, Sam Darnold, Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Madison Kocian, I love gymnasts, Sam Ehlinger and Shane Buechele here at SMU. So yeah, there&#8217;s a lot of different types of sports involved too. It&#8217;s partnered up with them. Ryan: Yeah. And it&#8217;s pretty amazing what they&#8217;ve done and the connections they&#8217;ve been able to make. And I think it&#8217;s because of what they stand for and who they are as an organization. It seems like, uh, you know, for me personally, it was an easy decision to make because of the way that they&#8217;re coming around and supporting these younger kiddos who are struggling through a crazy battle with cancer. And so a lot of these kids, especially, um, you know, being in hospital setting settings and going through chemo and, and being stuck in a hospital bed, a lot of what they&#8217;re able to do is watch sports and watch TV and watch these games. And so, uh, being able to step into that role and being able to step into that space with them has been really special. But yeah, like you said, there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s been a lot of, of awesome, um, presence in terms of athletes and different stars connected to their organizations. Yeah. Kelly: It&#8217;s really neat. They do a lot of things. So the way I understand it, um, the namesake, Jessie Reese, she was a little girl who fought cancer back in 2011 and 12 and, um, kind of her, her tag line, her, her catch phrase, the thing that she wanted, everyone to kind of remember, that&#8217;s where we get this, this NEGU from.

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: Okay. We are back with Chris Mycoskie. So, at the end of last episode, we were running down some of your honorable mention and top 10 so far of sports moments that you&#8217;ve seen in person. We&#8217;re kind of reminiscing about back when, you know, we could go to sports and watch games and some of your lists, um, is based on your life as a sports broadcaster. And some of your list is based on your life as a lucky kid whose grandpa was the team physician for the Texas Rangers. Yeah he was the original. The original, and getting to do some cool things with your dad and your grandpa. I mean, you were just telling us about how you&#8217;re kind of living that kid dream of getting to be bat boy at some Ranger or some MLB All Star games and just getting to, uh, to go to the Cowboys Bills, Super Bowl when you were in eighth grade and how you covered that for the, uh, was it the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Chris: Yeah. I mean, they weren&#8217;t paying my bill certainly to go out there, but when I had that, when I, they knew I was going to go, it was like, well, that obviously has to be what your column is about this week. So, yeah. Kelly: Yeah. I mean, just to be able to, to have that experience. So young is so cool. So no wonder you&#8217;ve built a career around that. So, um, I guess let&#8217;s, let&#8217;s keep going and let&#8217;s jump back in and I think we&#8217;re at are your top five. Yeah. Chris: We are number five. And this is an overall week-long experience. It&#8217;s not just one particular game, but it is the Atlanta Olympics, 1996. How do you narrow that down to just one event? Kelly: Right? There&#8217;s so many, I&#8217;ve never been to an Olympics. I love consuming as much Olympics as I can possibly on TV all the time, every time. So I don&#8217;t even know what it&#8217;s like to be there in person with, you know, how spread out it is and how you can get to different events. I don&#8217;t even know how you know where to be. So how did you prioritize or let&#8217;s see, I mean, you were finishing high school. So were you there just personally, or are you still kind of building some work resume and how did you cover it? Chris: Oh, no, no. It was a family trip and, um, it&#8217;s kind of funny. My, uh, my dad took me and my brothers, but then my mom was actually there for work. Uh, she at the time was working for the national weather service in their communications wing and they had a big presence at the Olympics, as you might expect with all the different things that depend on them. Uh, so she was there working and we were able to spend some time with her, even though we were there with our dad. So it was very cool for everybody to be there at the same time. Uh, everything was a ticket lottery. So I think now it might be a little bit tougher, but back then, so long as you gave them different mailing addresses, you could submit as many applications as you want. So we enlisted the help of friends and family to enter the lottery, and then if they won, then we would pay them for the tickets and go, you know, they would just mail physical tickets to people still back then. Kelly: And so the lottery though, was it basically like you enter for certain events in sports, or was it a you get what you get? Chris: No, you&#8217;re requesting certain events and certain sports on certain days. So you wanted to go to, it was not the original dream team obviously but still the 96 version was still pretty good. Wanted to go to some of those USA basketball games and we got tickets to two of those games while we were there. Wow. Got to do some swimming and diving, um, some beach volleyball. But past that, you know, we were also, it wasn&#8217;t even necessarily the big stuff. Just wanted to take in some random things, handball, the clean and jerk, uh, weightlifting, Kelly: Because it&#8217;s the Olympics! Everything&#8217;s big, everything&#8217;s cool even if we don&#8217;t follow on a normal basis, to be able to go see those weightlifters do their thing. I mean, that&#8217;s incredible. Chris: Exactly. And you know, one of the things that we got tickets for that was, you know, I think when we put in for it, we didn&#8217;t think of the enormity of this event, but it was the only field hockey game I have ever been to. India versus Pakistan. That is the national game of both of those countries. They hate &#8230;]]></description>

There&#8217;s so many, I&#8217;ve never been to an Olympics. I love consuming as much Olympics as I can possibly on TV all the time, every time. So I don&#8217;t even know what it&#8217;s like to be there in person with, you know, how spread out it is and how you can get to different events. I don&#8217;t even know how you know where to be. So how did you prioritize or let&#8217;s see, I mean, you were finishing high school. So were you there just personally, or are you still kind of building some work resume and how did you cover it? Chris: Oh, no, no. It was a family trip and, um, it&#8217;s kind of funny. My, uh, my dad took me and my brothers, but then my mom was actually there for work. Uh, she at the time was working for the national weather service in their communications wing and they had a big presence at the Olympics, as you might expect with all the different things that depend on them. Uh, so she was there working and we were able to spend some time with her, even though we were there with our dad. So it was very cool for everybody to be there at the same time. Uh, everything was a ticket lottery. So I think now it might be a little bit tougher, but back the]]></itunes:summary>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly: Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle and Pro. The way we experience sports just did a 180. Remember the days of making memories at games that we still talk about with our friends and our family. Well we definitely do, and sports broadcaster Chris Majkowski is here via zoom to give us a little ranking list. How are you today, Chris? Chris: Doing well. Appreciate you having me, Kelly. Kelly: I appreciate you jumping on with us. So I know that you have some fun things, things to share via this list, but first I want to jump in with a couple of quick hits to get to know your sports favorites. You ready? Okay. All right. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? Chris: Baseball. I am, you know, I grew up essentially in the Rangers&#8217; clubhouse and we&#8217;ll talk on the list a little bit about my grandfather, but he was the original Rangers&#8217; team doctor. So getting to go to games with him as a kid, baseball just runs through my blood and, uh, absolutely my number one. Kelly: I love that. So what about your favorite sport to play? Chris: Well these days, uh, as a 41 year old, uh, church league softball is pretty much all I play other than, you know, if you, unless you count running as a, as something I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m doing for recreation. Kelly: Who is your favorite all time athlete? Chris: Nolan Ryan. Just cannot beat his larger than life persona off the field and on. And I love that just a couple of days ago was the anniversary of the game with the White Sox and the Robin Ventura charging the mounds. So we got to go through all that again, but that was one of my earliest thrills actually in, uh, in journalism, was getting to interview him. I did it as an eighth grader. So I was writing for the Ft. Worth Star Telegram. They used to have, they may still have it, I don&#8217;t get the paper anymore, a kids and teens section called Class Acts, and I wrote a weekly column for them. And through that, uh, they set up an interview with Nolan Ryan for me. So to get to go one on one with him. Yeah. On cloud nine. Kelly: That&#8217;s incredible. Oh, that&#8217;s great. He&#8217;s one of the all time Greats. So I probably could guess your next answer, but who&#8217;s your favorite all time team? Chris: Oh yeah. No, the Rangers, like I said, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s just, it&#8217;s in the family. It&#8217;s never leaving us and obviously you get frustrated as a fan with a lot of things and they&#8217;re not immune to, uh, my criticism, but you know, I love the Rangers. Kelly: Me too. What about your favorite sports movie? Chris: Huh. Um, Bull Durham is fantastic. I wish I could have put together a top 10 list on sports movies too probably. Kelly: Well I am going to do that soon so you can help me. I want you to fill us in a little bit. I know that you&#8217;ve called games on ESPN platforms, for sports TXA 21, with American Digital Network. I know you were calling conference USA games and then, shutdown in March. Um, so give me just a, kind of a quick rundown and then let&#8217;s, um, let&#8217;s crack open this vault and hear about your list. So tell me also about this list of yours. Chris: Sure. Well, for eight years I was with the Southland Conference in Frisco, and then last year I went out on my own and dived back into freelance sports broadcasting. And, um, yeah, my most recent event was in Frisco, the Conference USA, women&#8217;s basketball tournament on March 11th, which in our family at least and I&#8217;m sure for a lot of people, will go down as the last normal day we actually had a full day of college basketball. I had two women&#8217;s first round games that day and was set to call men&#8217;s quarterfinal games on March 12th. And then of course, everything got canceled that day. No more college basketball. NBA was actually postponed on that evening, I think March 11th. And that was the sign that, all right, this is, this is going to start getting weird. Kelly: That was the Rudy Gobert night, I guess, right? Yeah. Okay. So now we are not, you know, you&#8217;re not in a booth calling games right now, and we&#8217;re like I said, kind of consuming sports completely differently. I&#8217;m consuming more sports on Twitter right now than normal, which is fun but different. But so tell me about this list and let&#8217;s get started. Chris: &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m doing well. I think it&#8217;s been good. How are you doing? I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m excited to hear some, some stuff from you on what you&#8217;re up to lately. Before we jump into, before we get into some of that, I want to have a, do some quick hits, so I haven&#8217;t had you on before. And I like to tell our audience a little bit about you, um, as a sports fan and or athlete. So are you ready? I&#8217;m ready. Let&#8217;s see, we got Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Kobe Bryant. Okay. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to play? Football. And what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? Football. Do you have any sports superstitions? So I, I do. Oh, it was weird when I was playing. I never tied my laces until before kickoff. You warmed up without shoes tied. Yep. Warmed up with my, you know, obviously as a, you know, an, a skill position that the cleats are pretty tight, but yeah. Never had them, never had them tied. Okay. That&#8217;s a good one. What about you? What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Uh, remember the Titans. Okay. Football of course. Okay. So that&#8217;s probably going to answer a lot of my next question before we get into some of your career. Um, Steph, what, uh, can you give us a rundown of your own profile as an athlete? Yeah, I mean, I was, I was kind of always an athlete grew up multi-sport athlete. I think I&#8217;m still big proponent on that. You know, I want, I think kids should play as many sports as they can get their hands on and just figure out what they love, played baseball, soccer, basketball, growing up. Obviously when I got into high school, I started to focus more just on football and, um, played through my four years and then went on to play at the university of Southern miss, which is a group of five school in the conference USA, um, as a wide receiver for, for a season before my, uh, I had an injury with my, my wrist and, uh, like every athlete, uh, unless you&#8217;re one of the select few that can make it to the league, your, your play day comes to an end, uh, at that stage. Yeah. You mentioned. So you played all those other sports and when you got to high school, you only played, so for your high school, you only focused on football or did you get to get a little bit into high school with other s]]></itunes:summary>

There&#8217;s a strategic plan behind shaping a brand to elevate it, to make you think of it in a certain way. That&#8217;s what our guest, Mike Jones, does with college programs and athletes — he propels them as a brand. Mike played multiple sports as a kid and focused on football into his later high school years. He played in college, then became a part of the staff to work in the ranks of the collegiate sports. Now his business, J1S, creatively pulls all those skills together for clients. Enjoy this discussion &#38; find other episodes of Hustle &#38; Pro.

The sudden, unexpected stop was one thing, but now the uncertainty of restarts, the cancelations, and the delays of seasons is starting to take its toll.

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro it&#8217;s a tough season right now. It&#8217;s complicated for athletes and parents and for coaches and for schools and for districts and decision makers, cancellations, and postponing practices and delaying entire seasons. It&#8217;s all happening right now. And it&#8217;s all playing tricks on our minds and our athletes minds. So we brought in Kip Watson to explore that with us. Welcome back to Hustle and Pro, Kip. Hey, it&#8217;s good to be here. Good to be here. Good to have you here. Uh, so of course I thought about you. This has been on, on everyone&#8217;s mind. Um, the last several months I thought about you to come in and just sort of share your professional opinion. Um, a lot of us as parents think we&#8217;re qualified to give, you know, give advice and what should and shouldn&#8217;t happen and how we should feel on this topic, but you actually have some chops. So just tell us real quick, um, a little bit about you and who you are and how you kind of fit into the puzzle. When we talk about sports being on the mind here. Sure. Well, I&#8217;ve been in the sports psychology and therapy world here in this area for 23 years. So a long time, um, work a lot with, um, high school athletes, college athletes, professional athletes. And this has definitely been a time where we&#8217;ve had to navigate more back towards therapeutic and therapy issues versus, you know, mental performance issues, but guess what they go hand in hand. Definitely. Okay. Let&#8217;s talk about kids in sports, um, and what they specifically are dealing with right now. You mentioned the different, different levels and ages that you work with, but what are you seeing as far as delays and cancellations playing tricks with, with these athletes? Well, it definitely is, you know, there&#8217;s just one big question, Mark. That&#8217;s there for a lot of them, um, because kind of like you said, you know, we may get a starting date and then it delays, then it changes and almost at every level, things have been postponed or canceled. And I think it&#8217;s hard because sports is something that we normally turn to, especially in times of trauma and crisis, at least nationally, we have, um, as a sense of normality as a sense of distraction on the calendar, it&#8217;s like we&#8217;re looking forward to a season. Yeah. And that, I think the hard part is kind of what you just said is we don&#8217;t have something to aim for. We don&#8217;t have something to look forward to or hope for, or like with sports work, we, part of the goal is to set goals, evaluate ourselves, then go challenge ourselves. And we don&#8217;t have a sense of when that&#8217;s going to happen. And so it&#8217;s, we train a lot of times in the off season cause we know the challenge is coming and here we don&#8217;t know when that&#8217;s coming. And that challenge, you know, athletes, we thrive off of that challenge and, and facing that personal achievement. Right. And getting to see our friends and our peers and all that. Are you seeing, like, What is that? There&#8217;s a lot of anxiety. I I&#8217;ve actually had three of my clients that have become, you know, a higher level of suicidal ideation where we had to hospitalize. Um, so it is. Where does that stem from? Is it fear that they won&#8217;t get to play again because they&#8217;re done with their career at whatever level? Is it just pure, um, anxiety that they don&#8217;t know what is going to happen to them? Yeah, I think it stems from, um, there&#8217;s a, it&#8217;s not that they want to die all three and all three cases. It was two teenagers. And then I had one executive that I was working with. Um, that&#8217;s been much more suicidal. It&#8217;s not that I want to die. I just don&#8217;t know how to live with the current circumstances as they are. And, and because there&#8217;s so much that&#8217;s unknown and outside of my control, I don&#8217;t know what to do with this. Um, and so it, it, it brings about a sense of hopelessness, which then, you know, what that reveals is that a couple of things somebody&#8217;s belief system is more in what they do rather than kind of who they are and their spirituality, so to speak. Um, and then that identity similar, right? It&#8217;s in, I&#8217;m an athlete, I&#8217;m an executive, I&#8217;m a mom, I&#8217;m a, whatever the role is versus having life skills to be able to adapt and adjust and focus on what is good. Okay. If that role is compromised because they can&#8217;t go out and do that, what do they feel? &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Thanks for joining us. As we record this episode of Hustle and Pro the MLS is back tournament starts today and our very own FC Dallas withdrew from the tournament. That&#8217;s a whole nother conversation for a whole nother day, but also our Dallas Mavericks are headed to the NBA level in Orlando too. So it&#8217;s an unusual time for sports to say the very least, but something else is happening besides this coronavirus pandemic that is changing the landscape of sports. Right now, there is a movement happening racism and racism in sports is not a new conversation, but the conversation to bring it up and to keep it up and to talk about it and have people listen and learn is new. So my eyes personally have been opened recently. I&#8217;ve learned more than I ever knew that I didn&#8217;t even know about racism in sports. And so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to talk about today. So let&#8217;s get started expanding on that with our guest Tony Graham. Thanks for showing up Tony. Hi. Yeah, thank you for having me. Thank you. So I know you through sports, right, but I want to stop talking for a second and give you the floor to tell us about you and introduce yourself to us. Yeah. So thank you. Um, uh, like she said, I&#8217;m Tony Graham. I, uh, gosh, I&#8217;ve been involved in youth sports for, gosh, I guess over about 22 years now. So, uh, coach soccer for FC Dallas, uh, currently coaching 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 boys. So, uh, I stay pretty busy on the soccer fields and then also have, uh, three kids of my own. So, uh, when I&#8217;m not, uh, on the soccer fields, I&#8217;m chasing them around too. So it&#8217;s a pretty busy life, but it&#8217;s a, it&#8217;s fine athlete, kids of yours. They are, uh, two of them are, uh, uh, 2010, uh, son and a 2009 both play for FC Dallas. So I get to coach them both for now. I know that that won&#8217;t last forever, but, uh, definitely enjoy coaching them. And, uh, they&#8217;re good players they&#8217;re excelling and, uh, doing quite well. So yeah, happy dad. Awesome. I mentioned that I really only know you through sports. So the few conversations I&#8217;ve ever had with you have probably just been about soccer, right? Either on the soccer field related to my husband or added FC Dallas games saying hi, or talking about the game or something like that. Uh, so you grew up here in Plano, right? Yeah. I grew up in Plano, um, uh, went through all Plano schools, uh, middle school and high school and played soccer for Plano East. And so, yeah, I&#8217;m a, I&#8217;m a local Plano East, I think. So that means you played against my husband. Well, I told him you were meeting me here today and of course he said, tell him this and remind him this. I&#8217;m like, okay, we don&#8217;t need to talk about high school soccer. And I think you&#8217;ve played with him also, right. We, uh, we played on, uh, North Dallas, 40 men&#8217;s outdoor team, uh, uh, got a chance to play with him and a couple other guys that, uh, you knew back from the Plano East Plano senior high day. So it was quite fun playing on that team. So, Yeah, there&#8217;s a strange underground, uh, I not to offend you, but old man soccer group of guys here that have stuck around this area and continued to be in and around soccer, right? Yeah, it is. It&#8217;s really, really cool. Um, you know, getting to play with those guys, uh, remembering them back during the high school days, but then being on like men&#8217;s teams with them playing with them, playing against them, uh, soccer community is a small world. And so, um, um, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s pretty cool, but uh, definitely enjoyed seeing, uh, your husband out at the fields, you know, through the youth soccer stuff. Just kind of remind him, reminding us back of our times when we were, you know, that youthful and running around and still trying to do it to this day. So yeah, it&#8217;s pretty cool. So this will be a different conversation for us. We&#8217;ll still talk about sports, but it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s hard for me. Um, you know, I don&#8217;t talk about race and racism every day, so this is tough for me, but that&#8217;s why I invited a friend in &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle and Pro. We are talking with the Frisconian, who is a product of Wakeland high school basketball and a fellow Texas Tech Red Raider. Now a leader here in Frisco, Daniel Rentie. How are you today? Daniel? I&#8217;m doing well. Thank you for having me. Yeah. Thanks for coming in. All right. Let&#8217;s jump in with some quick hits to get to know you a little bit better in your, in your sports world here. So if you had to say who your favorite athlete of all time was, who would that be? Oh, man, that is tough. Uh, favorite athlete all time. Uh, Jason, Terry he&#8217;s one of my favorites is the random, but, um, I love Jason Terry out and my first Mavericks game, he went off for like 30 and I saw a lot of my playing style in Jason, Terry. And so, uh, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s one of those like weirdest things is like, uh, like why is Jason Terry your favorite? But I really love his playing style. I love his confidence, um, and the way he carries himself. And then he brought our city at championship. Yeah. Yeah. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s that weird. In fact, um, my second question, if you didn&#8217;t answer a Mav was going to be who&#8217;s your favorite Mav. So I guess that answers to that one too. Um, so he&#8217;s not, he&#8217;s not in Frisco anymore. He was here, you know, front office with the Legends this past season and just went back. I think he went back to his Alma mater maybe. Yeah, Arizona. I think he&#8217;s an assistant coach right now. Yeah. Yeah. So no more jet here in the, in the Frisco arena. That&#8217;s all right. Okay. Then who I&#8217;m. So sports wise, what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? And what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play yourself? Favorite sport to watch is basketball and then my favorite sport to play as well as basketball too. So travel wise. I know we&#8217;re gonna talk about maybe you doing some traveling when you were younger for sports, what&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled for sports to play or to watch to go to a game? Um, I think, um, to play was, was Las Vegas. I think that was the furthest trip. Um, we always had the, uh, we had the super 60 for the Adidas invitational. Um, I think that was the furthest one, either that one, or I think Atlanta might be somewhere near the same digit. This is, but we flew for both. And then for, for traveling, um, I went to the, um, the Rams, Chiefs game in California. The one where they, it was like 52 to 55, the shootout that one was honestly, probably one of the best games I&#8217;ve ever been to. That was, uh, that was a fun one. That game was actually originally supposed to be in Mexico City. And, uh, I was planning on being out there for Thanksgiving and once they moved it up, I tried to see if I can get my flight moved up. Did, and that ended up being the game of the century. So yeah, it did. That&#8217;s awesome. That great one that works out. One of our favorite, my, my husband and I favorite memories was a last minute kind of game that worked out too. We weren&#8217;t planning on being there. It was a, a Tech game in Lubbock. We were, um, it was just the last minute we, we accidentally kind of got these tickets we weren&#8217;t really supposed to have. And they ended up being like first row. And it was just one of those. Like, we will never forget being at that game. Sometimes those are the best ones. Uh, it was football game. Yeah. It was like a crab back in the Crabtree days. Yeah. I don&#8217;t even remember all the details. It was a, it was a UT game. And um, like we just, we thought we, well we&#8217;ll swing by and tailgate. Was it, was it the game?

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle and Pro. We are talking with the Frisconian, who is a product of Wakeland high school basketball and a fellow Texas Tech Red Raider. Now a leader here in Frisco, Daniel Rentie. How are you today? Daniel? I&#8217;m doing well. Thank you for having me. Yeah. Thanks for coming in. All right. Let&#8217;s jump in with some quick hits to get to know you a little bit better in your, in your sports world here. So if you had to say who your favorite athlete of all time was, who would that be? Oh, man, that is tough. Uh, favorite athlete all time. Uh, Jason, Terry he&#8217;s one of my favorites is the random, but, um, I love Jason Terry out and my first Mavericks game, he went off for like 30 and I saw a lot of my playing style in Jason, Terry. And so, uh, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s one of those like weirdest things is like, uh, like why is Jason Terry your favorite? But I really love his playing style. I love his confidence, um, and the way he carries himself. And then he brought our city at championship. Yeah. Yeah. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s that weird. In fact, um, my second question, if you didn&#8217;t answer a Mav was going to be who&#8217;s your favorite Mav. So I guess that answers to that one too. Um, so he&#8217;s not, he&#8217;s not in Frisco anymore. He was here, you know, front office with the Legends this past season and just went back. I think he went back to his Alma mater maybe. Yeah, Arizona. I think he&#8217;s an assistant coach right now. Yeah. Yeah. So no more jet here in the, in the Frisco arena. That&#8217;s all right. Okay. Then who I&#8217;m. So sports wise, what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? And what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play yourself? Favorite sport to watch is basketball and then my favorite sport to play as well as basketball too. So travel wise. I know we&#8217;re gonna talk about maybe you doing some traveling when you were younger for sports, what&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled for sports to play or to watch to go to a game? Um, I think, um, to play was, was Las Vegas. I think that was the furthest trip. Um, we always had the, uh, we had the super 60 for the Adidas invitational. Um, I think that was the furthest one, either that one, or I think Atlanta might be somewhere near the same digit. This is, but we flew for both. And then for, for traveling, um, I went to the, um, the Rams, Chiefs game in California. The one where they, it was like 52 to 55, the shootout that one was honestly, probably one of the best games I&#8217;ve ever been to. That was, uh, that was a fun one. That game was actually originally supposed to be in Mexico City. And, uh, I was planning on being out there for Thanksgiving and once they moved it up, I tried to see if I can get my flight moved up. Did, and that ended up being the game of the century. So yeah, it did. That&#8217;s awesome. That great one that works out. One of our favorite, my, my husband and I favorite memories was a last minute kind of game that worked out too. We weren&#8217;t planning on being there. It was a, a Tech game in Lubbock. We were, um, it was just the last minute we, we accidentally kind of got these tickets we weren&#8217;t really supposed to have. And they ended up being like first row. And it was just one of those. Like, we will never forget being at that game. Sometimes those are the best ones. Uh, it was football game. Yeah. It was like a crab back in the Crabtree days. Yeah. I don&#8217;t even remember all the details. It was a, it was a UT game. And um, like we just, we thought we, well we&#8217;ll swing by and tailgate. Was it, was it the game? She has an eight, the one crab. She had the game winning touchdown. Oh wow. You stumbled a little bit. Yeah. We were supposed to just be tailgating with some friends and we kind of did that whole, you know, you&#8217;re not really supposed to do like walk around at the front and feel like, see if you can get some tickets. And some kids like sold us some tickets for cash, and we thought there&#8217;s a good chance. These might not even get us in. Right. You never know what you&#8217;re buying.

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle and Pro thanks for joining us. So we are wrapping up our conversation on the last dance. We&#8217;ve got a new, a new guest with us today to give his perspective. So Malcolm Farmer, this president and general manager of the Texas Legends is with us today via zoom. Thanks for hopping on Malcolm, Anytime Kelly. We&#8217;re excited to jump into this and, uh, talk some last dance. Yeah. So you&#8217;ve got to fill Chad Brown&#8217;s shoes. He&#8217;s given us his perspective, the last few episodes. That&#8217;s funny, literally fill Chad Brown&#8217;s shoes. He&#8217;s got the big shoes, right? I don&#8217;t know if I can do that, but look, I&#8217;ll, I&#8217;ll do what I can here to provide some value. Fantastic. And we also have Fred Hammond he&#8217;s back again for the third episode in this series to chat with us. So let&#8217;s jump in. We&#8217;ve got a lot to cover, cause we&#8217;re going to wrap up episode six through 10 here in the next several minutes. So, and episode six, um, we, we really dive into Jordan&#8217;s gambling. So, um, they talked to us about him going to Atlantic city. I think it was, um, before a game to have an Eastern conference finals. Um, and they lost that game and they, they talked to his teammates and everybody about how that affected them. And then he comes back and of course, what do you, nothing less you&#8217;d expect for game the next few games that he&#8217;s back better than ever for those games. Um, so you guys probably, we all knew about Jordan&#8217;s gambling before this, but did this, did this shed any new light on anything or give you a different perspective, seeing it on, on the show? It gave me a perspective of, uh, how it is the, the media reports and the, uh, the accusations, if you will. That Michael Jordan took actually I think really brought that team closer together. Um, they kind of use it as a rallying cry, um, quite a bit. And if I recall correctly, they had lost the first two games of that series. Um, and if I recall correctly, they won the next four. Um, so if anything, it would have worked against, uh, the Knicks and their hopes of finally advancing to the defeating, uh, MJ. Yup. And that kind of feeds into this next topic. They show us. So we talked about a lot about confidence and, and just insane level of confidence that Jordan had to pull off some of the things that he was able to, to walk the walk. So they, um, really detail the finals versus sons with, um, Charles Barkley, even saying that he played the best that he could and he just flat out couldn&#8217;t, couldn&#8217;t be Jordan. Um, but they show us the series and the bullets go up to, Oh, and then the son&#8217;s got game three and I think it was three overtime, triple overtime. Um, and then the bulls come back and then the sentence come back and all this. So it was back and forth. And, um, MJ talked about how he only packed one suit. Like he&#8217;s not going to play more than another game there. Right. He&#8217;s on, he&#8217;s playing one, they&#8217;re going to win and they&#8217;re going to come home. I love that. I thought that was really interesting to really see that confidence. I don&#8217;t know, in this day and age, if that&#8217;s how it works anymore, who packs what for who and what they take on road trips. But, um, but what&#8217;d, you guys think about that level of confidence knowing like we&#8217;re not, we&#8217;re not staying there for two games, right? Yeah. The thing with Michael Jordan is she always backed it up. He&#8217;d make the comments. He was serious. I think the teammates took note that Michael is serious right now. We all have to play to a level of one suit performance or else is going to be unpleasant. But again, as Michael always did, he backed it up and it went and he only needed one suit and went home with the championship. Yeah, no question. Is it something that you hear occasionally during the NBA playoffs now, even &#8230;]]></description>

Thanks for hopping on Malcolm, Anytime Kelly. We&#8217;re excited to jump into this and, uh, talk some last dance. Yeah. So you&#8217;ve got to fill Chad Brown&#8217;s shoes. He&#8217;s given us his perspective, the last few episodes. That&#8217;s funny, literally fill Chad Brown&#8217;s shoes. He&#8217;s got the big shoes, right? I don&#8217;t know if I can do that, but look, I&#8217;ll, I&#8217;ll do what I can here to provide some value. Fantastic. And we also have Fred Hammond he&#8217;s back again for the third episode in this series to chat with us. So let&#8217;s jump in. We&#8217;ve got a lot to cover, cause we&#8217;re going to wrap up episode six through 10 here in the next several minutes. So, and episode six, um, we, we really dive into Jordan&#8217;s gambling. So, um, they talked to us about him going to Atlantic city. I think it was, um, before a game to have an Eastern conference finals. Um, and they lost that game and they, they talked to his teammates and everybody about how that affected them. And then he comes back and of course, what do you, nothing less you&#8217;d expect for game the next few games that he&#8217;s back better than ever for those games. Um, so you guys probably, we all knew about Jordan&#8217;s gambling before this, but did this, did this shed any new light on anything or give you a different perspective, seeing it on, on the show? It gave me a perspective of, uh, how it is the, the media reports and the, uh, the accusations, if you will. That Michael Jordan took actually I think really brought that team closer together. Um, they kind of use it as a rallying cry, um, quite a bit. And if I recall correctly, they had lost the first two games of that series. Um, and if I recall correctly, they won the next four. Um, so if anything, it would have worked against, uh, the Knicks a]]></itunes:summary>

We explore a lot in this episode &#8211; Charles Barkley, Gary Payton, George Karl, Karl Malone, Steve Kerr, Reggie Miller, and the Jazz and Pacers. We talk about Michael Jordan&#8217;s dad and how it impacted me personally, having lost my dad that same summer in 1993. Did Reinsdorf make a mistake letting them all end it after six championships? Was there enough in the tank for a seventh? I loved this docuseries (obviously) and hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed listening to our three-part review.

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Kelly Walker: Welcome back to hustle and pro. So we are picking up our conversation again, talking about The Last Dance ESPN, um, docu series on Chicago bulls. So we finished episode one and two last episode, and we&#8217;re going to go ahead and jump in talking episode three, we are still talking with Chad Brown of the Texas legends and Fred Hammond who&#8217;s here in Frisco, and owns a local business countdown 2 escape here down on main street. So we&#8217;re going to jump into episode three, which is, I kind of have noted as the Rodman episode. Right. So, um, which is kind of a loaded episode, I guess you could say. So we see his, um, sort of his background, like his tough life on the streets and, um, how he was able to kind of stay out of trouble. Even you talked about like he was hanging out with drug dealers and this and that. Um, but it also explained how he said he, he kinda craved the pain and wanted to like, feel that on the court. Um, I guess, which is sort of why he is known for his physicality. Um, Chad, I&#8217;m curious from your perspective, because you are a presence on the court. I mean, your nickname is The Beast, right? So as that person who&#8217;s like known for blocking shots and being physical, um, you know, how do you do, how did what&#8217;d you think when you were watching that part on the Rodman episode? Chad Brown: Um, well, honestly I think that was like one of my favorite parts of the documentary is that Dennis Rodman, cause you know, everybody knows Jordan, everybody knows Pippin. Um, but you know, a lot of, a lot of like the underdog guys, like the Rodman&#8217;s and the Ben Wallace&#8217;s of the basketball world doesn&#8217;t really get the full recognition. So it was good to kind of see, you know, his background, you know, how he, you know, how his mindset changed in the basketball world to, you know, do what he does on the court. And, you know, everybody has a different personality and everything, but one thing you can say about him is that, you know, when he stepped on the court, you know, he left it all out there, you know, he left it all on the table and you know, he was, uh, he was the heart and soul of those guys team, man. Kelly Walker: It kind of makes you wonder though, does it, do you have to have a little bit of crazy in you though to like sacrifice your, your body like that? Right. Chad Brown: Yeah. I mean, uh, I can say from experience, you know, you just have to, like I said, I think it&#8217;s just a mindset, honestly. It&#8217;s a mindset you have to have where, you know, you know, you don&#8217;t mind, you know, you know, getting a couple of bruises, a couple scars and things like that. Cause you know, it&#8217;s all about winning and that&#8217;s who you are as a person. And you know, I like to say you have to be a little crazy to have a little mindset of, of doing those little dirty works. So Kelly Walker: Yeah. So, and then they, they showed us a lot about how he did his time off. Right. To relax. Um, then so, you know, it didn&#8217;t really make it look like his teammates were that bothered by it even I think Michael was like kind of understood. I think he had to go fetch him one time to get him back. Right. He didn&#8217;t come back behind his curfew or something. Um, can you, you know, I think we talked about this a little bit last time, but I can&#8217;t imagine that today he would just get roasted by the social media, if you&#8217;re just kind of Mia and you have to take a break in mid season, like we roast athletes off season nowadays. Right. Um, so if y&#8217;all have any thoughts. Fred Hammond: Yeah. I think that, I think that the genius of Phil Jackson was that he knew Dennis Rodman had to be on the team to win and he would almost let him do and be as crazy as he needed to be to let the formula play out. And I think that&#8217;s really a credit to Phil Jackson. Now, the fact that he let him go past the curfew and passed the vacation agreement and sent Jordan out there to get him is &#8230;]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed ESPN&#8217;s original documentary on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty, The Last Dance, is historic. It&#8217;s a step back in time, a peek behind the curtain and an emotional ride with every buzzer-beater. I loved every single second of it &#8211; all 10 glorious hours re-living the playoff runs to the finals and catching those glimpses of greatness. I loved it so much I had to hop on here and talk about it. I gathered a few friends to discuss what we heard on The Last Dance, from Michael Jordan himself, his coach, his mom, his teammates, media, and team owners. In this episode, Texas Legends&#8217; Chad Brown, C2E&#8217;s Fred Hammond, and Kelly Walker discuss our takeaways from the first two hours of The Last Dance. Enjoy episode #67, catch the sequel next week, and find other episodes of Hustle &#38; Pro.

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to a special edition of Hustle and Pro. So today we&#8217;re not highlighting a specific guest and telling somebody&#8217;s story so much, but we&#8217;re pulling a few friends in to talk about the last dance. So we&#8217;ve got Chad Brown, one of our favorite Texas Legends players, and we&#8217;ve got Fred Hammond. He&#8217;s a local business owner, but also a huge sports fan. So hey, Chad and Fred, how y&#8217;all doing today? Doing good. Doing great to be with you. Absolutely. Okay. Y&#8217;all ready to jump in. Let&#8217;s talk about this. There&#8217;s 10 hours of the last dance documentary of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan. Um, we&#8217;re going to go through kind of episode by episode, so we don&#8217;t miss anything that we want to point out. Um, I guess just off the top, it&#8217;s not, I originally kind of in my mind thought, Oh, the Jordan documentary, but I don&#8217;t know about y&#8217;all, but I was really excited when it, it sort of was breaking down each episode with like different player highlights and, um, so that we could learn more about me. Of course, we all want to learn about Jordan, but it was cool to see like the teams getting put together and broken apart and, and like different player and personality and coach, you know, aspects of that whole like team dynamic. Right? Yeah. Alright. So it&#8217;s kicked off with episode one. Um, it kind of introduced like the whole thought process, I guess, behind why this is even called the last dance. So it was with Jerry Krause, um, really show what they showing the rocky relationship with Phil Jackson. And he&#8217;s the one who really said that like, even after the bulls have won all these championships, I guess they were at five at that point that this is going to be the last season, the last dance. And so that&#8217;s kind of where we get that. Um, so let&#8217;s see, let&#8217;s jump in. I mean, first of all, who&#8217;s who thinks Jerry Krause is a genius and kind of like that best GM that I think Pippin even gave him that title at the very end of this, or was he like a cancer and kind of ruined this team? So I think Jerry Krause was a genius. He set it up is that there&#8217;s no tomorrow, there&#8217;s no next season with you guys. It&#8217;s one chance make the most of it. And the players rallied around that realizing there may not ever be this opportunity again, so, and it proved to be successful. Right, right. Right. For sure. And I totally agree with that. Um, you know, I definitely believe that, you know, like you said, it was no reason to, you know, say that at the beginning of the season, um, you know, it is a business at the same time, you know, with decisions and things like that as a GM. But like you said, man, you, you have the best player in the world. You know, you have to, you know, if you, if you got to, you know, tie some strings or you got to, you know, do what you gotta do, you know, as a GM to keep your coach, you know, you have to do that. You know, you, you gotta, you guys have won five championships, you know, why not, you know, means, um, so, so I believe that, you know, Jerry Krause, um, I can&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t, I can&#8217;t say anything bad about him. Um, because you know, he, he did his job, you know, he got the team together, um, in the best way that he could. Um, but you know, like personally me, I just feel like, you know, you got a good team like that. You guys been winning championships, you know, uh, the legacy starting to build for Chicago, you know, they&#8217;re, they&#8217;re starting to become that dynasty, you know, Lakers and Celtics dynasty. Um, you know, I feel like you have to do whatever it takes to keep that thing rolling, man. You know, so it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s tough. It was tough. You know, like I said, at the end of the day, you know, it was decisions and it&#8217;s a business, but you know, when you have opportunity like that, you know, you have to seize the moment and you gotta do whatever it takes. I know. Right. It seems like there was so much left on the table. Okay. &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to a special edition of Hustle and Pro. So today we&#8217;re not highlighting a specific guest and telling somebody&#8217;s story so much, but we&#8217;re pulling a few friends in to talk about the last dance. So we&#8217;ve got Chad Brown, one of our favorite Texas Legends players, and we&#8217;ve got Fred Hammond. He&#8217;s a local business owner, but also a huge sports fan. So hey, Chad and Fred, how y&#8217;all doing today? Doing good. Doing great to be with you. Absolutely. Okay. Y&#8217;all ready to jump in. Let&#8217;s talk about this. There&#8217;s 10 hours of the last dance documentary of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan. Um, we&#8217;re going to go through kind of episode by episode, so we don&#8217;t miss anything that we want to point out. Um, I guess just off the top, it&#8217;s not, I originally kind of in my mind thought, Oh, the Jordan documentary, but I don&#8217;t know about y&#8217;all, but I was really excited when it, it sort of was breaking down each episode with like different player highlights and, um, so that we could learn more about me. Of course, we all want to learn about Jordan, but it was cool to see like the teams getting put together and broken apart and, and like different player and personality and coach, you know, aspects of that whole like team dynamic. Right? Yeah. Alright. So it&#8217;s kicked off with episode one. Um, it kind of introduced like the whole thought process, I guess, behind why this is even called the last dance. So it was with Jerry Krause, um, really show what they showing the rocky relationship with Phil Jackson. And he&#8217;s the one who really said that like, even after the bulls have won all these championships, I guess they were at five at that point that this is going to be the last season, the last dance. And so that&#8217;s kind of where we get that. Um, so let&#8217;s see, let&#8217;s jump in. I mean, first of all, who&#8217;s who thinks Jerry Krause is a genius and kind of like that best GM that I think Pippin even gave him that title at the very end of this, or was he like a cancer and kind of ruined this team? So I think Jerry Krause was a genius. He set it up is that there&#8217;s no tomorrow, there&#8217;s no next season with you guys. It&#8217;s one chance make the most of it. And the players rallied around that realizing there may not ever be this opportunity again, so, and it proved to be successful. Right, right. Right. For sure. And I totally agree with that. Um, you know, I definitely believe that, you know, like you said, it was no reason to, you know, say that at the beginning of the season, um, you know, it is a business at the same time, you know, with decisions and things like that as a GM. But like you said, man, you, you have the best player in the world. You know, you have to, you know, if you, if you got to, you know, tie some strings or you got to, you know, do what you gotta do, you know, as a GM to keep your coach, you know, you have to do that. You know, you, you gotta, you guys have won five championships, you know, why not, you know, means, um, so, so I believe that, you know, Jerry Krause, um, I can&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t, I can&#8217;t say anything bad about him. Um, because you know, he, he did his job, you know, he got the team together, um, in the best way that he could. Um, but you know, like personally me, I just feel like, you know, you got a good team like that. You guys been winning championships, you know, uh, the legacy starting to build for Chicago, you know, they&#8217;re, they&#8217;re starting to become that dynasty, you know, Lakers and Celtics dynasty. Um, you know, I feel like you have to do whatever it takes to keep that thing rolling, man. You know, so it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s tough. It was tough. You know, like I said, at the end of the day, you know, it was decisions and it&#8217;s a business, but you know, when you have opportunity like that, you know, you have to seize the moment and you gotta do whatever it takes.

Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Welcome to this episode of Hustle and Pro we&#8217;re talking to Andy Milovich. He is the president and general manager of the Frisco RoughRiders. Hi Andy. Hi, how are you? I&#8217;m great. Thanks for coming in the studio. This is great to be able to sit across from you instead of a zoom call, we get to look at each other and have a chat. So I&#8217;m an avid RoughRiders fan have been for, I don&#8217;t know. I think we&#8217;re in eight year, year, eight of maybe season tickets. So RoughRiders are my team. And so I&#8217;m anxious to get you in here and just sort of hear from you what&#8217;s going on. But first we have some icebreakers on Hustle and Pro. And since you have not been a guest on this podcast yet, I want to hear a couple things about you personally, before we jump in to talk about the RoughRiders. Um, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Ooh, favorite athlete of all time? Uh, I don&#8217;t know that I have a definite favorite. My, the first person that comes to mind is Bernie Koser. Okay. That&#8217;s I&#8217;m a lifelong Browns fan. Yeah. Alright, so then what, uh, sports you&#8217;re you run a base, a couple baseball teams. Is that your favorite sport? Yeah, baseball has been for me my entire life. I grew up, um, you know, being dragged to the little league field by my dad who started coaching when he was 18. I was born five years later. And, um, so, uh, my life has been, uh, at a ballpark and, um, all I ever want to do is play baseball and have a good time. It turns out those don&#8217;t go hand in hand. And so I played through college and then focused on selling baseball and selling it. But you&#8217;re still in baseball now. I thought you might&#8217;ve said basketball. I know you&#8217;re a basketball guy too, right? Yeah. I love basketball. I&#8217;m a more of a college guy. Grew up on Indiana. Basketball was born in Bloomington, delivered by the team doctor for, IU got to get that instilled in me and then a football, baseball. Basketball has been my go to. Basketball baby and baseball brat kid growing up. Right. So awesome. One more. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Uh, probably Field of Dreams. Me too. Yeah. Yes. See we&#8217;re baseball people. Alright. Okay. We are sitting here in early June and we know things are different this season. Normally in early June, we&#8217;d be in the thick of it. And I had gone to, you know, 10 RoughRiders games already, probably by this point and all would be good in the world of sports. We are not experiencing that this year, obviously. Um, some we&#8217;re seeing news about major league activity and what, what, what the MLB might get back to and what they&#8217;re proposing as recent as yesterday with some CVI stuff and who knows what that&#8217;ll, um, shake down to. Um, but here in Frisco, I care about what&#8217;s going on with my RoughRiders. So what can you tell us now, like how do you describe the state of, of where the minor league play is? Well, um, you know, it&#8217;s just such an interesting time, um, between the pandemic, the impact that&#8217;s had on the sporting world, uh, then you, you throw in kind of where major league baseball and minor league baseball were with the, um, the prospect of eliminating 42 teams going into next year. And, uh, the, the strain that, that is kind of put on everything and the negotiations, which have been put on hold related to that while they try to figure out what they&#8217;re going to do with the players to open their season. So in, in many respects, we&#8217;ve kind of been left in the dark. We, we&#8217;ve not been told they&#8217;re going to cancel our season. Um, but they&#8217;re not going to make a decision on our season until they&#8217;re done with theirs, uh, and, and not done with hers, but they&#8217;ve made a decision on theirs If at some point they were at the point in overturn. Yeah. And I, I think, um, I think frankly, we&#8217;re there. Um, I, I would not expect us to play, um, a RoughRider season this year, but I don&#8217;t think an announcement is going to come until they figure out what they&#8217;re doing with theirs and make that decision hand in hand, because there&#8217;s some other things that come along with that with, uh, what are they going to do in terms of a taxi squad and players to move up or move down. And some things like that. And I think what I&#8217;m expecting is that at some point in the next couple of weeks, they are going to officially make a decision on our season, which will be that they probably will not have it. And then, um, we&#8217;ll go from there. I think because of our location, the expectation is that we &#8230;]]></description>

And since you have not been a guest on this podcast yet, I want to hear a couple things about you personally, before we jump in to talk about the RoughRiders. Um, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Ooh, favorite athlete of all time? Uh, I don&#8217;t know that I have a definite favorite. My, the first person that comes to mind is Bernie Koser. Okay. That&#8217;s I&#8217;m a lifelong Browns fan. Yeah. Alright, so then what, uh, sports you&#8217;re you run a base, a couple baseball teams. Is that your favorite sport? Yeah, baseball has been for me my entire life. I grew up, um, you know, being dragged to the little league field by my dad who started coaching when he was 18. I was born five years later. And, um, so, uh, my life has been, uh, at a ballpark and, um, all I ever want to do is play baseball and have a good time. It turns out those don&#8217;t go hand in hand. And so I played through college and then focused on selling baseball and selling it. But you&#8217;re still in baseball now. I thought you might&#8217;ve said basketball. I know you&#8217;re a basketball guy too, right? Yeah. I love basketball. I&#8217;m a more of a college guy. Grew up on Indiana.

See we&#8217;re baseball people. Alright. Okay. We are sitting here in early June and we know things are different this season. Normally in early June, we&#8217;d be in the thick of it. And I had gone to, you know, 10 RoughRiders games already, probably by this point and all would be good in the world of sports. We are not experiencing that this year, obviously. Um, some we&#8217;re seeing news about major league activity and what, what, what the MLB might get back to and what they&#8217;re proposing as recent as yesterday with some CVI stuff and who knows what that&#8217;ll, um, shake down to.

That&#8217;s a great question. I have a background in college basketball and coach for a few years and um, and so I enjoy, there&#8217;s aspects of the game of basketball that I enjoy to watch the most, but, but at the same time, I always say there that, uh, there&#8217;s happiness and ignorance and so I probably do a little more, uh, coaching inside my head for basketball. So I&#8217;m going to say football, uh, would be my favorite to watch. Uh, and uh, and then, you know, but, but basketball is the one that I probably, uh, analyze and break down the most. Yeah, he probably watched that with a little more intensity or different focus. What about your favorite sport to play yourself? Definitely basketball. Um, and, uh, I played everything growing up. I grew up in small town of about 900 people. And so there were lots of opportunities to get involved in anything you wanted to get involved in. And, um, but you know, I, I think, uh, in, I probably was better at both baseball and football. Uh, but basketball was always kind of where my, my heart was.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro where we talk all different sports at all levels. Today we&#8217;re hitting the pro level, talking to one of our favorite Texas Legends players, Brandon Fields. Hey Brandon. Hey, how you doing? I&#8217;m doing great. Excited to talk to you again. We&#8217;ve talked before. I don&#8217;t know if you remember, but I&#8217;ve been to some practices and media days and we&#8217;ve had a few quick chats before. So I want to, um, ask you a couple of our quick hits just off the top to get to know you a little better. So who is your favorite athlete of all time? Uh, Kobe Bryant. I knew you were going to say that. I think I&#8217;ve asked you that before, off, off there. So do you have any good superstitions, any game day superstitions you got to do? Um, I have like a playlist and, um, I have there&#8217;s a lot of songs. It&#8217;s like probably like 10 songs that I have to listen to before the game and one of them for sure. Uh, out of all the ten, I listen to a gospel song, um, before every game, just because I&#8217;m a religious person and I believe that, um, if I go out there and my superstition needed, if I listen to gospel before I play, I won&#8217;t get hurt. Yeah, that&#8217;s good. Any gospel song or just like a specific one on that playlist that you have? Um, it&#8217;s a song by, uh, Kirk Franklin and, um, I think, um, [inaudible] maybe. So it&#8217;s like a specific one that you want to hear. Okay. Yeah, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s from uh, Kirk Franklin. Hold on, let me get it for you. I haven&#8217;t, we haven&#8217;t played in so long. Right. Yeah, I&#8217;m like that too. I have a playlist when I&#8217;m working out and there&#8217;s a specific few gospel songs that come on that it just changes my attitude. Right, right. It&#8217;s perfectly. And, uh, for rail and it&#8217;s called one, two, three big three. It&#8217;s like a gospel. Oh, cool. I don&#8217;t know it, so I&#8217;ll go look for it. Awesome. Alright, so what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Favorite sports movies? Blue Chips. Blue Chips. That&#8217;s a good one. I haven&#8217;t had that one on here yet. Okay. Now I usually ask a quick hit about farthest distance that you&#8217;ve traveled for sports, but for you that&#8217;s kind of crazy because there&#8217;s so many. Um, I&#8217;m going to throw out a few of them if I&#8217;m, you can correct me if I&#8217;m wrong, but I think these are places that you&#8217;ve been before for basketball, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Italy. Yeah. Wow. So when you set out on your basketball career, was, you know, seeing Europe, seeing the world, was that even anything you bottomed would happen? Uh, no I didn&#8217;t. I was, uh, I was so closed off, um, because of just my upbringing. I always just stayed in Texas, stayed in Arlington. And so when I actually went and I did all these places and I, I seen so much of the world, um, it broadened my, my, the way I think about, you know, different things in life and just, I&#8217;m very cultured now. And I always sit back and think of like, I never thought that I would go to the places that I&#8217;ve been. Yeah. So one, I think one of the first times I met you, I asked the whole team like, um, who had the most stamps on their passport or something maybe. And I feel like you and Coastus were like competing about who had been the most places. And I thought y&#8217;all were joking. I was like, how in the world. That&#8217;s crazy. How did you pick up any, any languages? Um, when I was in Japan, um, which is one of the hardest languages to learn, um, I actually learned because I was there for like 10 months straight and, um, I actually learned a little bit, but I didn&#8217;t, I didn&#8217;t, it didn&#8217;t speak. Um, I probably remember like, you know, I remember, um, thank you and little smaller words, but that&#8217;s the only country where, um, the language kind of state because the other countries, um, the European countries, those languages kind of sounded similar to me, so I would mix things up. Oh yeah, I bet. I mean, and it&#8217;s not like you live there permanently. I mean, with any language. If you don&#8217;t use it, you lose it. So, but that&#8217;s cool. I bet. You know, a lot more little bits of languages, the most people. Have you gone back to any of those places or do you want to, are there specific places that you &#8230;]]></description>

We&#8217;ve talked before. I don&#8217;t know if you remember, but I&#8217;ve been to some practices and media days and we&#8217;ve had a few quick chats before. So I want to, um, ask you a couple of our quick hits just off the top to get to know you a little better. So who is your favorite athlete of all time? Uh, Kobe Bryant. I knew you were going to say that. I think I&#8217;ve asked you that before, off, off there. So do you have any good superstitions, any game day superstitions you got to do? Um, I have like a playlist and, um, I have there&#8217;s a lot of songs. It&#8217;s like probably like 10 songs that I have to listen to before the game and one of them for sure. Uh, out of all the ten, I listen to a gospel song, um, before every game, just because I&#8217;m a religious person and I believe that, um, if I go out there and my superstition needed, if I listen to gospel before I play, I won&#8217;t get hurt. Yeah, that&#8217;s good. Any gospel song or just like a specific one on that playlist that you have? Um, it&#8217;s a song by, uh, Kirk Franklin and, um, I think, um, [inaudible] maybe. So it&#8217;s like a specific one that you want to hear. Okay. Yeah, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s from uh, Kirk Franklin. Hold on, let me get it for you. I haven&#8217;t, we haven&#8217;t played in so long. Right. Yeah, I&#8217;m like that too. I have a playlist when I&#8217;m working out and there&#8217;s a specific few gospel songs that come on that it just changes my attitude. Right, right. It&#8217;s perfectly. And, uh, for rail and it&#8217;s called one, two, three big three. It&#8217;s like a gospel. Oh, cool. I don&#8217;t know it, so I&#8217;ll go look for it. Awesome. Alright, so what&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Favorite sports movies? Blue Chips. Blue Chips. That&#8217;s a good one. I haven&#8217;t had that one on here yet. Okay. Now I usually ask a quick hit about farthest distance that you&#8217;ve traveled for sports, but for you that&#8217;s kind of crazy because there&#8217;s so many. Um, I&#8217;m going to throw out a few of them if I&#8217;m, you can correct me if I&#8217;m wrong, but I think these are places that you&#8217;ve been before for basketball, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Italy. Yeah. Wow. So when you set out on your basketball career, was, you know, seeing Europe, seeing the world, was that even anything you bottomed would happen? Uh, no I didn&#8217;t. I was, uh, I was so closed off, um, because of just my upbringing. I always just stayed in Texas, stayed in Arlington.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro I&#8217;ve been trying to book today&#8217;s guest since the very beginning of hustle and pro. So I&#8217;m very excited to have Megan Carney here. Hi Megan. Thanks for joining us. So Megan, you are a McKinney local. Um, you play played lacrosse here growing up, but now you play at Syracuse University and you were in on some of the U19 US Women&#8217;s Lacrosse action. So we&#8217;re going to talk about that and a couple other things. You ready to jump in? Yes, let&#8217;s go. Okay. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Probably in the lacrosse world, Michelle Tumolo. But outside of that, Tom Brady. Tom Brady. Okay. What&#8217;s the farthest distance traveled for sports? Um, Canada. Ah, for the, for this U19 championships we&#8217;re going to talk about, huh? So far this I&#8217;ve gone. Last year. Okay. What about your favorite sports movie? Um, definitely Rudy. The Notre Dame one. Yes, I love Rudy. Um, what about like, have you learned any cool stick tricks over the years of playing lacrosse? Um, yes, I&#8217;ve definitely developed a few tricks under my sleeve just from watching the older players and just through social media, but yet always working on the stick tricks. Anything cool that you can describe over a podcast? Oh geez. Um, let&#8217;s see. Probably it&#8217;s probably just like different combination of multiple tricks, not just one singular trick. So just hitting it off the sidewall to, around, around my back. Under the legs over the shoulder, stuff like that. Very cool. So I should mention, I didn&#8217;t mention this off the top, that younger voice you heard during those quick hits was Reese Walker. So my daughter Reese is here joining us. She is a lacrosse player too, so she had some exciting questions for you. Okay. So you went to John Paul the second for high school. Um, and there&#8217;s not, you know, high school across everywhere here in Texas yet anyway, so it&#8217;s up to club play to provide that environment for, um, this high school players. So tell us about your club experience here and, um, how it prepared you for your college experience. Yeah, so basically I started playing in club lacrosse in sixth grade. Um, I was fortunate enough to be coached by Molly Ford who came down to Dallas as soon as I was starting called lacrosse and she was on the USA team and played at Georgetown. So she was very experienced, knew a lot of people and brought down a pretty, pretty, uh, um, advanced coaching staff with her. So that just helps me get more involved because my mom knew like I was gonna love her. So she actually tricked me into going to like what I thought was just a day camp or like a little clinic, but it was actually tryouts for the team because she knew I was gonna fall in love with it. So then from there it just took off and I was lucky to have coaches that was able to help me get recruited and noticed and, um, just getting exposed to a higher level of lacrosse. So I was wondering, have you always played attack or did you start off your lacrosse journey with like a different position? Um, so I actually in high school, just because we had a smaller team and it wasn&#8217;t, um, you weren&#8217;t that strong of a team yet. I played midi. Um, I also took the draw sometimes, so I have a little experience with that, but I&#8217;ve always wanted or liked attack more. But yeah, I played midi in high school, but club and college I moved to attack. I think that&#8217;s good for, I mean, I don&#8217;t know how common that is. That kind of happened to Reese too, but it&#8217;s probably good to make a more well rounded player when you have to switch. You can probably see the field differently and adjust and adapt differently with those experiences. Okay. So your sophomore year in high school you&#8217;d already committed to Syracuse. Right. So why Syracuse? Um, so what I said earlier my favorite lacrosse player, Michelle Tumolo, she first recruited me when she was at Florida and I went and visited. I loved her. We like totally hit it off, kind like great, like bond. Um, but Florida wasn&#8217;t the school for me. So then she left and went to Syracuse where she played in college and recruited me from there. And so that was, that fell in love with the school. Um, I love Gary and just like his style of play that he coaches was the best fit for me. And then academics, they have a great sports marketing school so I knew that was &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro I&#8217;ve been trying to book today&#8217;s guest since the very beginning of hustle and pro. So I&#8217;m very excited to have Megan Carney here. Hi Megan. Thanks for joining us. So Megan, you are a McKinney local. Um, you play played lacrosse here growing up, but now you play at Syracuse University and you were in on some of the U19 US Women&#8217;s Lacrosse action. So we&#8217;re going to talk about that and a couple other things. You ready to jump in? Yes, let&#8217;s go. Okay. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Probably in the lacrosse world, Michelle Tumolo. But outside of that, Tom Brady. Tom Brady. Okay. What&#8217;s the farthest distance traveled for sports? Um, Canada. Ah, for the, for this U19 championships we&#8217;re going to talk about, huh? So far this I&#8217;ve gone. Last year. Okay. What about your favorite sports movie? Um, definitely Rudy. The Notre Dame one. Yes, I love Rudy. Um, what about like, have you learned any cool stick tricks over the years of playing lacrosse? Um, yes, I&#8217;ve definitely developed a few tricks under my sleeve just from watching the older players and just through social media, but yet always working on the stick tricks. Anything cool that you can describe over a podcast? Oh geez. Um, let&#8217;s see. Probably it&#8217;s probably just like different combination of multiple tricks, not just one singular trick. So just hitting it off the sidewall to, around, around my back. Under the legs over the shoulder, stuff like that. Very cool. So I should mention, I didn&#8217;t mention this off the top, that younger voice you heard during those quick hits was Reese Walker. So my daughter Reese is here joining us. She is a lacrosse player too, so she had some exciting questions for you. Okay. So you went to John Paul the second for high school. Um, and there&#8217;s not, you know, high school across everywhere here in Texas yet anyway, so it&#8217;s up to club play to provide that environment for, um, this high school players. So tell us about your club experience here and, um, how it prepared you for your college experience. Yeah, so basically I started playing in club lacrosse in sixth grade. Um, I was fortunate enough to be coached by Molly Ford who came down to Dallas as soon as I was starting called lacrosse and she was on the USA team and played at Georgetown. So she was very experienced, knew a lot of people and brought down a pretty, pretty, uh, um, advanced coaching staff with her. So that just helps me get more involved because my mom knew like I was gonna love her. So she actually tricked me into going to like what I thought was just a day camp or like a little clinic, but it was actually tryouts for the team because]]></itunes:summary>

So who is your favorite athlete of all time? I would have to say Muhammad Ali just because of the awesome athlete that he was, but also his social responsibility was second to none and he stood up for what was right and he was just good on all levels. So I say Muhammad Ali by far. Brooke, what about you? I don&#8217;t know. I have to say I grew up and everything about him I could relate to. So he was my favorite player growing up. Alright. So what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play yourselves? Basketball. Basketball. That&#8217;s probably an easy one to just say. You just almost said it. So then what about you Kevin? I enjoyed both baseball and football. I&#8217;d say equally great sports, different, but um, I don&#8217;t think I would pick between the two, but between the two I&#8217;d have to say baseball and football because opposite seasons. So you got to be athletic, round seats. All right. Then flipping it a little. Your favorite sport to watch. Cause now we don&#8217;t all participate all the time anymore. I can, I can watch football all day. I can&#8217;t watch baseball. Yeah. So, so definitely football is my favorite sport to watch. This may sound a little left field tennis. I love watching tennis. Yeah, there&#8217;s some like there&#8217;s some like rhythm to tennis that does kind of suck you in and it&#8217;s hard to stop watching it. And I played in high school too. So it, I&#8217;m not the type to sit down and watch a lot of sports, but I definitely love watching tennis. All right, last quick hit. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie?

Favorite sports movie coach Carter? No, those two are like top two for me. I&#8217;d say, you know, the one that I thought was the most emotional was like Field of Dreams cause I can relate to that. Um, so I&#8217;d say if I had to put one on the spot right now, I&#8217;d say Field of Dreams, cause I can just remember it right now. But there&#8217;s a lot. I love sports. I love the different uh, movies that they&#8217;ve had out there. But I&#8217;d say Field of Dreams. The magical one, I love Field of Dreams can not not watch it when I pass by it. Like it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s impossible to just not see what part of the movie it&#8217;s on. And then I&#8217;m stuck watching it cause I don&#8217;t want to change it. I love it. Okay.

I love football and all these things, but what did you, what did your sports look like growing up? Yeah, and that&#8217;s a great question.

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed With cheer being ranked #2 as a source of serious injuries, you can&#8217;t ignore that these young athletes are in a dangerous sport. I love cheerleading; I lived it, I coached it, I watch it — and I&#8217;m well-acquainted with the devastating and brutal injuries that can occur. It&#8217;s important we care for young athletes by giving them a break and providing downtime to rest and recover. Overuse is a huge factor, whether it&#8217;s too much throwing or pitching in baseball or a gymnast training like a professional year-round, it can hurt a body that&#8217;s not yet fully developed. In this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro, we share clips from a discussion with Children Health&#8217;s Dr. Troy Smurawa on what they see at the Andrews Institute, plus preventative tips in relation to cheer and dance. Enjoy episode #61, and, listen to more episodes from the Hustle &#38; Pro archives. Show Notes [01:29] Injuries Dr. Smurawa Sees [04:00] Overuse &#38; Specialization [06:18] Back Injuries [07:35] Pediatric Dance Medicine Program Resources within this episode:  Netflix series Cheer: Navarro College Website Troy Smurawa, M.D., Director of Sports Medicine, Children&#8217;s Health Andrews Institute: Bio Pediatric Dance Medicine Program: Website Kelly Walker: Instagram @kelly_walkertexas &#124;  Twitter: @kelly_walker_TX Connect with Lifestyle Frisco:  Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter LinkedIn Transcript: (machine-generated) Welcome to Hustle and Pro season two talking sports and Frisco from youth to pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Today we&#8217;re talking about cheer. So yes, we&#8217;ve talked about cheer before, but the Netflix series that got so popular cheer really got me thinking. And um, I&#8217;ve been wanting to talk about it lately and I love it so much. I love watching those athletes. I love watching the behind the scenes of them training. And one of the things that kinda came out of that, that&#8217;s been making me think is all of the injuries that we&#8217;ve seen on that show. Now, I love cheer. So I&#8217;m not a cheer hater. I&#8217;m not bashing cheer as a sport. I love it. I participated in it when I was young. My children or my daughter has participated in it. I&#8217;ve been involved with it. So I do love it and I like to watch it so I&#8217;m not hating on it. But you also kind of, as a parent, you should also, you know, realize that it&#8217;s important to talk about. I found it really interesting when I read that of the 22 most popular sports in the U S cheer has the second highest proportion of injuries resulting in time lost of at least three weeks. So I&#8217;ll say that again. Of the 22 most popular sports cheer is number two when it comes to serious injuries and they&#8217;re saying those are injuries that result in lost time of at least three weeks. So yeah, we know that the football players are out there getting hurt. That&#8217;s another topic. But what we don&#8217;t really think about as much is that the cheerleaders on the sidelines and the cheerleaders competing for their club or their school or their gym are really getting hurt more than 20 of the other most popular sports in the U S so I had a conversation with dr Troy Smurawa at the, he&#8217;s the director of sports medicine at Children&#8217;s Health Andrews Institute. And so we talked a little bit about why he&#8217;s seeing some of these high injury, um, numbers, you know, he&#8217;s seeing them in the ankles and shoulders, ribs back and concussions. What are you seeing when we talk about chairs specifically as the most common injuries? Yes. So when we talk about cheerleading, I think cheerleading, um, most of the increase in injuries that we&#8217;re seeing has a lot to do with the, uh, the high level of competitiveness and the higher level of skills that the cheerleaders are doing. So like anything, as you become more competitive, you try to do more things to make yourself seem better. So we&#8217;re starting to, we start to see as a lot of cheerleaders and cheerleader groups are doing more stunts and, um, and type of activities. So because of that, uh, we&#8217;re seeing more acute injuries in cheerleading versus more overuse injuries. Um, and what we can see is that probably the most common type of injury we see are strains and sprains. And that probably counts for about a little over half of all injuries are due to his sprains and strains. Um, then there&#8217;s also, um, fractures and dislocations. Uh, and I think the biggest thing that we&#8217;re seeing a large increase in injuries are concussions in cheerleaders. And, uh, I think because of the nature of the high level of skill and high level of stunting that now we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re seeing a larger number of cheerleaders are getting concussions. We see that because they&#8217;re there, there&#8217;s a lot more stunting where they&#8217;re more likely to fall or hit their head get landed on if they&#8217;re a bottom row. Correct. Yeah, exactly. So I also want you to kind of understand why these are happening, what he&#8217;s seeing specifically when you&#8217;re talking about overuse. So why is overuse even happening? Dr Troy explains to us that those specializing in sports so early is really like, it&#8217;s you&#8217;re competing like a professional on professional schedule and you&#8217;re applying it to a young athlete whose body isn&#8217;t really fully developed. Their bodies are not ready to take on that amount of stress over long periods of time. We do find that in youth sports that early specialization has resulted in a lot more overuse injuries. Um, so we know that, uh, like things like baseball, um, that&#8217;s is a very prominent one where kids are specially early in baseball and do a lot of throwing and pitching, um, and doing it year round. So it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s kind of a combination of early specialization, um, year-round, uh, participation in one single &#8230;]]></description>

Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed With cheer being ranked #2 as a source of serious injuries, you can&#8217;t ignore that these young athletes are in a dangerous sport. I love cheerleading; I lived it, I coached it, I watch it — and I&#8217;m well-acquainted with the devastating and brutal injuries that can occur. It&#8217;s important we care for young athletes by giving them a break and providing downtime to rest and recover. Overuse is a huge factor, whether it&#8217;s too much throwing or pitching in baseball or a gymnast training like a professional year-round, it can hurt a body that&#8217;s not yet fully developed. In this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro, we share clips from a discussion with Children Health&#8217;s Dr. Troy Smurawa on what they see at the Andrews Institute, plus preventative tips in relation to cheer and dance.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Today we&#8217;re talking about cheer. So yes, we&#8217;ve talked about cheer before, but the Netflix series that got so popular cheer really got me thinking. And um, I&#8217;ve been wanting to talk about it lately and I love it so much. I love watching those athletes. I love watching the behind the scenes of them training. And one of the things that kinda came out of that, that&#8217;s been making me think is all of the injuries that we&#8217;ve seen on that show. Now, I love cheer. So I&#8217;m not a cheer hater. I&#8217;m not bashing cheer as a sport. I love it. I participated in it when I was young. My children or my daughter has participated in it. I&#8217;ve been involved with it. So I do love it and I like to watch it so I&#8217;m not hating on it. But you also kind of, as a parent, you should also, you know, realize that it&#8217;s important to talk about. I found it really interesting when I read that of the 22 most popular sports in the U S cheer has the second highest proportion of injuries resulting in time lost of at least three weeks. So I&#8217;ll say that again. Of the 22 most popular sports cheer is number two when it comes to serious injuries and they&#8217;re saying those are injuries that result in lost time of at least three weeks. So yeah, we know that the football players are out there getting hurt. That&#8217;s another topic. But what we don&#8217;t really think about as much is that the cheerleaders on the sidelines and the cheerleaders competing for their club or their school or their gym are really getting hurt more than 20 of the other most popular sports in the U S so I had a conversation with dr Troy Smurawa at the, he&#8217;s the director of sports medicine at Children&#8217;s Health Andrews Institute. And so we talked a little bit about why he&#8217;s seeing some of these high injury, um, numbers, you know, he&#8217;s seeing them in the ankles and shoulders, ribs back and concussions. What are you seeing when we talk about chairs specifically as the most common injuries? Yes. So when we talk about cheerleading, I think cheerleading, um, most of the increase in injuries that we&#8217;re seeing has a lot to do with the, uh, the high level of competitiveness and the higher level of skills that the cheerleaders are doing.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. We are digging a little bit deeper into eSports today. So a familiar voice is here to help John Davidson. He knows eSports because he&#8217;s worked in it via GameStop stadia ventures, uh, throughout UNT and also PRG and then some. So John, welcome. Thanks for coming back. Are you ready to jump in? I am, thank you for having me. So I mentioned the, um, some of the stops in your career quickly off the top, but I want to hear in your words some of your kind of credentials and work experience in this eSports world. Yeah. So, um, essentially, uh, the, the things that I&#8217;ve done in eSports, uh, I worked at the marketing arm, um, agency of GameStop. Um, so I was on the, the agency team for GameStop there. Then I was hired onto the, uh, the brand side at GameStop, uh, to lead non-endemic partnerships. And my first day they said, we want you to figure out eSports for us. And so that was just one of those moments where it&#8217;s kind of a fork in the road first day. Yeah. They cause, you know, they&#8217;re like, okay, we have this guy who&#8217;s, who&#8217;s doing, uh, you know, he&#8217;s doing partnerships and it was a little bit of a different workflow from everybody else on the marketing team. Everybody else is managing the publishers of the video games, um, Ubisoft, Activision, et cetera, Nintendo. And so, um, they&#8217;re like, they, they gave me influencer marketing and eSports in addition to partnerships. I was like, am I getting paid three times more? The answer was no, no. The answer is you&#8217;re the new, the new young person who can take all this on and go figure it out. Right, exactly. You know, a lot of people say, John, that was just three years ago and you know, uh, was what was GameStop doing? Not doing anything, any sports. Wait, this was just three years ago. Yeah. Okay. Nevermind. I&#8217;m thinking this was like ages ago for some reason. No, no. So it&#8217;s just, I&#8217;ve been, you know, build the brand marketing, uh, experiences. Not that you&#8217;re not the young guy. I&#8217;m just saying like for some reason I was thinking this was like at the very early forefront of eSports or something. So three years ago. Yeah. We, eSports is basically dog years, so, right. But yeah, essentially, uh, you know, I obviously I had experienced, I was, you know, knowledgeable to a point about eSports, you know, just because I&#8217;m 36 so everybody&#8217;s been who&#8217;s my age, you know, um, playing video games as a hobby when I wasn&#8217;t skateboarding. And so, um, you know, GameStop brought me on and they S they say we should figure it out. ESports for us. And what that meant was they had dabbled in, you know, Madden back in the day. Some Streetfighter determines what they want to figure out is how can we make money doing this because it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a very, it&#8217;s a much longer conversation. So I was tasked with figuring out how to make money in eSports at GameStop because that&#8217;s the challenge, right? Um, most eSports titles are old, meaning people already own the game. And so new revenue for GameStop, right? So you show up to a tournament, you&#8217;re trying to sell video games. Everybody already owns him and there&#8217;s a lot of games that are free now. So you have fortnight, um, uh, activist and just re released a new version of call of duty that&#8217;s free. It&#8217;s like kind of like a fortnight genre battle Royale genre. Um, so it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s difficult for a physical Dame gaming retailer to make money doing that. And so, you know, we figured out that way. Yeah. They, once they&#8217;ve sold one, you know, game one unit, like they need the people that are playing it. They saw that possible monetization on the table. And that was your job to go figure out how to get some more from any sport in the sports world. Exactly. So, um, I went to this conference and, um, it was everybody who, you know, the, the OGs of the industry, um, were there and they were very open about, we haven&#8217;t even really figured this out yet. You know, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s still the wild, wild West. And I just saw the opportunity of like, this needs to be my focus, you know. So I came back and I said, guys, there were challenges with partnerships, um, over there with endemic brands, just the sales cycle and things of that nature is challenging when you&#8217;re promoting a game for two weeks and then you&#8217;re on to the next one, et cetera. It&#8217;s a &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. We are digging a little bit deeper into eSports today. So a familiar voice is here to help John Davidson. He knows eSports because he&#8217;s worked in it via GameStop stadia ventures, uh, throughout UNT and also PRG and then some. So John, welcome. Thanks for coming back. Are you ready to jump in? I am, thank you for having me. So I mentioned the, um, some of the stops in your career quickly off the top, but I want to hear in your words some of your kind of credentials and work experience in this eSports world. Yeah. So, um, essentially, uh, the, the things that I&#8217;ve done in eSports, uh, I worked at the marketing arm, um, agency of GameStop. Um, so I was on the, the agency team for GameStop there. Then I was hired onto the, uh, the brand side at GameStop, uh, to lead non-endemic partnerships. And my first day they said, we want you to figure out eSports for us. And so that was just one of those moments where it&#8217;s kind of a fork in the road first day. Yeah.

Not that you&#8217;re not the young guy. I&#8217;m just saying like for some reason I was thinking this was like at the very early forefront of eSports or something. So three years ago. Yeah. We, eSports is basically dog years, so, right. But yeah, essentially, uh, you know, I obviously I had experienced, I was, you know, knowledgeable to a point about eSports, you know, just because I&#8217;m 36 so everybody&#8217;s been who&#8217;s my age, you know, um, playing video games as a hobby when I wasn&#8217;t skateboarding.

All my soccer guests have to say Messi at some point, right? Yeah. Well it&#8217;s not like a I and his going with it cause he like he&#8217;s the best or whatever. But it&#8217;s like, cause he&#8217;s started like really everyone was really negative with him cause he was very short and you know, so he basically just proved them all wrong. So that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s like I feel I could do something like that. Yeah. You like his story? I do too. What about sports movies? Are you into watching any soccer movies or any other sports movies that you can think of that you like? Um, I used to love watching movie Goal and go to [inaudible] and those are probably my favorite ones. Those are good ones. What about superstitions? Do you have any game day superstitions that you, that you have to do on game day? Um, on game day I always have to go on the field with my shin guards on and my socks above my knees. Like while I&#8217;m walking in. I don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s just something I always do and then I changed my cleats like right before we started warming up. But my socks always have to be able to have my knees and my shin guards in. Okay. It&#8217;s like you gotta it has to make, is that what makes you feel right and ready to go? Yeah, I just feel like I&#8217;m ready to get going. One more quick hit. What&#8217;s the farthest you&#8217;ve ever traveled to play sports or to watch sports? [inaudible] travel a lot about your travel. Lots for tournaments and play. Have you ever traveled internationally for sports? No. Never. No. Never been anywhere internationally. Um, seven, uh, Kansas, Florida. I&#8217;m trying to think. It&#8217;s so many steps and yeah, we usually go like Houston, Oklahoma, which aren&#8217;t as far, but I&#8217;ve been to Missouri also. That&#8217;s probably the furthest. Okay. Yeah, probably. Okay. All right. So tell me about your story growing up. Um, obviously you&#8217;re a soccer player now, but did you play other sports when you were younger? Yeah, so I was, well mom always said I was very energetic when I was little. So she put me in multiple sports to like try to get me to put all my energies somewhere instead of running around the house all the time. So she tried putting me in gymnastics. Um, I think volleyball, a little bit of basketball, but not really. And then she put me in soccer and I was just like constantly running everywhere. So she thought it was perfect. So around four years old, I was put on my first soccer team and then I went to six years old and that&#8217;s when I started playing, playing competitively. And ever since then. Yeah. Yes ma&#8217;am. So that’s [inaudible], I was going to ask you, sorry I interrupted you. Um, so I was going to ask you, did you drop your other sports? At what point? Like middle school is, is kind of um, you know, a common thing, but were you focused on soccer earlier than that? Yeah. So in elementary school, like basically the rest ever since I started playing competitively it&#8217;s the only been soccer. Of course in middle school I played like ball volleyball and basketball, but it&#8217;s just like for fun, like if I didn&#8217;t have practices or games that day, then yeah, I would go. But if it had interfere with soccer, I would always choose soccer players. Priority over soccer was your first priority, but then you fit in some of the fun stuff at school. Okay. So you played, um, with FCD, when did you start playing with the FC Dallas club? Hmm, I think 2016 my freshman year. I know &#8230;]]></description>

I like Rudy but then obviously like Rocky, Rocky is my all time favorite movie series but it&#8217;s more of like boxing so, but yeah, I like Rudy too, but it&#8217;s been ruined for me over the years. Hearing people talk about it, how it&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s kind of true and accurate is the movie makes it look so, but I like it. It&#8217;s a good story. All right. What about superstitions? You have any game day superstitions or routines that you&#8217;ve got to do? Well I have it everyday superstition. I have, no matter what it is, I have to put my left foot in it first. So like if I&#8217;m putting on shoes and has to be my left foot goes in the shoe first and then my right foot. And then when I take off my shoes, I have to take off my right shoe first and then take off my left shoe. It goes with socks as well. I have to put my left sock on first and then my right sock. That&#8217;s just how it is. I don&#8217;t know why, but that&#8217;s pretty much it. I don&#8217;t really have any, any superstitions. If I don&#8217;t do something then something bad&#8217;s going to happen. But that&#8217;s pretty much it. Just the kind of random left foot first thing. Yes. Left foot. No, I&#8217;m right footed. I&#8217;m right footed. All right. Yes. Weird one. It&#8217;s a little weird. No, that&#8217;s good. I mean it&#8217;s like a habit you just have to like, once you&#8217;re in it, you don&#8217;t want to break it I guess. Huh? Exactly. Exactly. Okay. So I, I&#8217;m always love on this show, learning about the history of athletes and like if they were multi-sport athletes. So if I&#8217;m talking to a high school kid that&#8217;s committed to play somewhere in college, I like knowing like how many sports they played and how far into their life did they play them. And of course with pro athletes, it&#8217;s even more fascinating to learn that I&#8217;m with you. It&#8217;s a little bit kind of not necessary because you are definitely a multi, multi sport athlete up until like a second ago. So, um, can you tell me that football story and history and kind of the story about Clemson? Well, yeah, so I&#8217;ve been playing a bunch of sports ever since. I was little, always the main three were soccer, basketball and football. I had a little bit of tennis, um, other sports here and there, but those were the main three. And um, I really, my two favorite sports are basketball and soccer. Those are my true loves football. I never really got into as much I could say. Uh, just didn&#8217;t really like it as much. But, uh, so I, I played football all the way until eighth grade and then on in ninth grade I moved here to um, Frisco and started playing, um, for FC Dallas Academy. And so I couldn&#8217;t play basketball anymore and I couldn&#8217;t play football either because here at FC Dallas Academy you can only play once, you have to focus on soccer. And that, that&#8217;s just how it is you, it takes up so much of your time, mornings, afternoons, games, everything. So you really don&#8217;t have time to do anything else. But, so when I moved here, I was solely focusing on a soccer and then, um, then I &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. It&#8217;s about time we highlighted another standout FISD student athlete. So today we&#8217;re chatting with Madison Ott Centennial High School&#8217;s point guard on the basketball team. Hi and welcome Maddie. How are you? I&#8217;m good. How are you? I&#8217;m good. Well I&#8217;m excited to take the time to get to know your story a little, but first I have a few quick hits to know you a little bit better. So if I was to ask you who your favorite athlete of all time is, who would you say? Um, probably for the male side it would be Steph Curry because I just idolize how he plays and his demeanor and for the woman&#8217;s side Sabrina Inosceu just because she&#8217;s just a big role model of mine and I love how she plays. What about sports superstitions? So do you have any personally or your team has any habits or game day superstitions that you guys do? Um, I mean we always usually huddle before games. We always have a superstition that you have to end on a make whatever we&#8217;re doing warm up or whatever. So anytime we go to the huddle after warmup, before games, we always end on a making it get shot in. That&#8217;s a good one. And on a make. Okay. What&#8217;s your favorite or some of your favorite sports movies? Oh, um, all time. Favorite is probably Love and Basketball. That was like one of my first favorite basketball movies. Um, I watched Hoosiers as a kid with my dad and that was a good one. Um, 42 is that the baseball movie? I really liked that one too. Yes. That, that was such a cool movie. So those are probably my top three. Those are great. Okay. Now my first question is a little random, but as I was doing some research on you, I noticed this and I couldn&#8217;t help but have to ask you right off the top. How in the world do you know Jason Terry enough for like Twitter conversations and follow you on Twitter? Um, so my outside of school basketball team is driving nation. I&#8217;m on the 17 U EIB L team and he is actually the head coach of that team. So this past summer he was my head coach for all the club basketball throughout the summer. And then this summer my new coach, her name is Edwina Brown, she, she&#8217;ll be the new head coach and he&#8217;ll be the assistant head coach. So he&#8217;s my club head coach and I work with them all as though That&#8217;s pretty amazing. Did you know who he was before he was your coach? Yeah, I&#8217;ve kind of like saw some stories about it and I didn&#8217;t know as much about him cause he of course he played like whenever I wasn&#8217;t even involved in basketball but I knew about him and my dad was a big fan of his so it was pretty cool to find that out. So once you kind of find out, did you go back and like look at videos of him or kind of get to see why everybody loves him so much? Yeah. Yeah, me and my dad, we watched like a lot of his games on the, um, whenever they were in the NBA finals or whatever. It was so cool. Like I, I would always like get nervous to go up to him and he would be like, I&#8217;m just your coach. But we are pretty comfortable now, so it&#8217;s cool. Yeah. Good. Well that&#8217;s pretty neat. Not many high school students get to say they were coached by somebody like Jason Terry. That&#8217;s awesome. Yeah. Okay. So now we&#8217;ll go back to my, yeah, my normal line of questioning about your yourself and your sports journey. So I&#8217;m always curious what other sports, if any, did you play when you were younger. I started off with soccer whenever I was like five or something and I played that till I was 10. Um, and then I just kind of tried everything. In middle school I did track soccer, volleyball, basketball, um, I did gymnastics when I was younger, so I kind of tried everything until I fell in love with basketball. I actually didn&#8217;t originally like basketball. My parents forced me to play and I did not want to play owl. I was crying before the game. I was so mad that they made me play. What age is that? So what [inaudible] I think I was about 10 or 11 so I kind of had like a later start, but I fell in love with it right after the first game. So I was, I definitely liked it after that and then it became serious. Okay, so you didn&#8217;t want to play the first game, but they forced &#8230;]]></description>

So what [inaudible] I think I was about 10 or 11 so I kind of had like a later start, but I fell in love with it right after the first game. So I was, I definitely liked it after that and then it became serious. Okay, so you didn&#8217;t want to play the first game, but they forced &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. It&#8217;s about time we highlighted another standout FISD student athlete. So today we&#8217;re chatting with Madison Ott Centennial High School&#8217;s point guard on the basketball team. Hi and welcome Maddie. How are you? I&#8217;m good. How are you? I&#8217;m good. Well I&#8217;m excited to take the time to get to know your story a little, but first I have a few quick hits to know you a little bit better. So if I was to ask you who your favorite athlete of all time is, who would you say? Um, probably for the male side it would be Steph Curry because I just idolize how he plays and his demeanor and for the woman&#8217;s side Sabrina Inosceu just because she&#8217;s just a big role model of mine and I love how she plays. What about sports superstitions? So do you have any personally or your team has any habits or game day superstitions that you guys do? Um, I mean we always usually huddle before games. We always have a superstition that you have to end on a make whatever we&#8217;re doing warm up or whatever. So anytime we go to the huddle after warmup, before games, we always end on a making it get shot in. That&#8217;s a good one. And on a make. Okay. What&#8217;s your favorite or some of your favorite sports movies? Oh, um, all time. Favorite is probably Love and Basketball. That was like one of my first favorite basketball movies. Um, I watched Hoosiers as a kid with my dad and that was a good one. Um, 42 is that the baseball movie? I really liked that one too. Yes. That, that was such a cool movie. So those are probably my top three. Those are great. Okay. Now my first question is a little random, but as I was doing some research on you, I noticed this and I couldn&#8217;t help but have to ask you right off the top. How in the world do you know Jason Terry enough for like Twitter conversations and follow you on Twitter? Um, so my outside of school basketball team is driving nation. I&#8217;m on the 17 U EIB L team and he is actually the head coach of that team. So this past summer he was my head coach for all the club basketball throughout the summer. And then this summer my new coach, her name is Edwina Brown, she, she&#8217;ll be the new head coach and he&#8217;ll be the assistant head coach. So he&#8217;s my club head coach and I work with them all as though That&#8217;s pretty amazing. Did you know who he was before he was your coach? Yeah, I&#8217;ve kind of like saw some stories about it and I didn&#8217;t know as much about him cause he of course he played like whenever I wasn&#8217;t even involved in basketball but I knew about him and my dad was a big fan of his so it was pretty cool to find that out. So once you kind of find ]]></itunes:summary>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis, and today we are hanging out with Bryan Linder from wealth wave. Bryan, welcome to the show. Hey, thank you so much. I&#8217;m excited to talk to y&#8217;all. Appreciate you taking the time to join us. I want to dig in and talk a little bit about what you guys do because I think people have known you for a couple of things around Frisco, but we really want them to understand what WealthWave is and what you guys do. And I think from that we&#8217;re going to spring forward into some, some current event conversation around that as well. But why don&#8217;t you start off by telling us a little bit about yourself and the story of WealthWave. Yeah, I appreciate it. That&#8217;s good. Yeah. You know what happens is funny, whenever I go somewhere they&#8217;re like, Bryan, we see you all the time, but what do you really do for a living? What do you actually do? And so, you know, I, I do want to let people know, you know, I&#8217;ve been in the financial services industry, uh, 17 years. I&#8217;m going into my 18th year and I&#8217;ve owned and operated, uh, an independent agency of my own starting in ‘07. So the first part of that I was corporate and the rest of it, I&#8217;ve owned my own business, central Texas, and it&#8217;s grown to over 2000 agents across the United States at this point. But we just moved our headquarters to Frisco last in September. So we operate right there out of the Star, right in formation. And so we&#8217;re excited about expanding there. And so I guess to kind of wrap it up in a real quick nutshell, I mean, when you think of financial services, you think of companies like Merrill Lynch and Edward Jones and New York life and Fidelity and some of these bigger firms. And basically that&#8217;s what we do in one place. So we&#8217;re a brokerage within wealth way. We can represent about 300 different companies to help individuals, families, families, businesses, really with anything financial related between budgeting, debt management, college savings, retirement, estate planning, all those things. We do all that right there in Frisco. I didn&#8217;t realize you guys were quite that big. 2000 agents? Yes. Yeah, we, you know, we started with just a couple. We expanded across a course, a bulk of them. They&#8217;re in Texas, probably about 1200 here in Texas. The other 800 are spread out throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Okay, very good. So one of the first questions that comes to my mind is how is, how, how, what makes you different with respect to how working with um, you know, kind of mid middle tier clients rather than going to the really high end stuff. Like how does that, how is that different for people like us, for families and Frisco? Yeah, that&#8217;s a great question. You know, my dad started in the industry back in 1979 he actually opened up out of his Purina feed store right there in downtown Austin where the convention center is now today. And back then, you know, he started the company in a, in a vision that a business could create, could be created in our industry where instead of the wealthy being served by these financial advising firms, that everybody, the normal person, the coach that he coached with, the people that he sold cattle feed to get access to that type of management. But for them and for their own households, even though they didn&#8217;t have 200 300 $500,000 to invest, all they had was maybe 50 bucks a month. And so fast forward now 40 years later. And that&#8217;s really what separates us from most of the big firms and wire houses is I talked to people on a daily basis that can save $10 a month, some of them, some of them $500 a month. And now some are very wealthy clients. Of course it runs the gambit. But where we have our strength is we can sit down for free with a client or a family and we get fully on in involvement in their financial household to deliver a strategy that doesn&#8217;t cost a dime for the information. And so I think that&#8217;s one of the benefits that we offer is I&#8217;ll, I&#8217;ll spend hours and hours developing a strategy and the client doesn&#8217;t have to pay me anything and I&#8217;m just there to provide that service and education. All right, that&#8217;s good to know. So, and I think, you know, kind of spilling over into current events, probably good timing for a lot of people because there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s a lot of folks that I know are feeling a lot of financial uncertainty right now and it&#8217;s probably a more important time than ever for people to have a chance to sit down with somebody to chat about what&#8217;s happening right now, how their finances are and, and having a game plan, I would think to deal with that. Are you guys having conversations with people around everything &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro we talked before about sports sadness. So today let&#8217;s flip the script a little and talk about how to get that joy back. So I&#8217;ve invited our friend Scott Secules back. Hello again, Scott. Thanks for joining us. My pleasure Kelly. How are you doing? I couldn&#8217;t get through your name this time. I even had it. I knew Secules, Secules, Secules so as a former collegiate and NFL athlete and obviously a youth athlete too, you have knowledge of setbacks and, and different parts of your life and your career. And because you work with positive coaching Alliance, now you have knowledge and resources to kind of overcome some of those things and helping our youth, um, athletes and coaches and parents get past some of those moments. So that&#8217;s what I wanted to have you on today to kind of pick your brain about how you feel about, you know, reconnecting with the joy. Of course, if you might have to be away from it for awhile. Well that&#8217;ll be good. Still, it&#8217;s a great topic. I look forward to visiting with you about it. So when you kind of think back on your life, what, what are some examples of things that maybe you&#8217;ve experienced times in your athletic career that were setbacks or delays or some disappointments that you can point out as a place? I think, I think Kelly, I think you&#8217;d go back to, gosh, you could probably go season by season and this one, this would be the longest podcast in the history of a podcast. But you know, I think if you&#8217;re competitive, and that&#8217;s one of the great lessons I think that the kids learn in sports is how to compete and, and, and if like many of our young, young people in our athletes, they&#8217;re competitive, you&#8217;re going to go for something and ultimately not get it.You know, whether it&#8217;s making a team and it&#8217;s that first time that a young athlete deals with maybe getting to a sub varsity or varsity level where they have cuts for the very first time. You know, one of the things I love about where we are here in North Texas is the middle school teams and the sub varsity teams want everybody to play. And when we first got the Texas, that&#8217;s the first time I ever saw multiple freshman football teams in the same school. Now that means these schools buy a lot of football helmets, but they don&#8217;t turn any of the young people away and they get to play. But there&#8217;s disappointments with not being the starting in search your position. Right? Uh, and, and how you deal with that. There are disappointments with getting cut. There are disappointments and setbacks that are injury based. Uh, unfortunately here in Texas with our friends at the UIL, there are disappointments and setbacks that are grade related. When these young people forget that they are student athletes. Right. So, you know, I can think back to those situations of, you know, having a bad game and throwing a couple interceptions and being really hard on myself because, you know, a lot great athletes are a lot of, you know, strong athletes are perfectionists and they, they want perfection. They demand perfection out of themselves. And then that puts you in a bad mental spot when you&#8217;re not perfect. Right. And if you&#8217;re not equipped with the tools to overcome that, then you can set yourself on a spiral. And that&#8217;s when it helps to have great teammates and great coaches and great parents to help you get out of it. Yeah. And I think some of those, you know, tools to help overcome that, it kind of goes back to, I mean there&#8217;s some fundamental things that sort of help you deal with the disappointment, um, and sort of keys to success. So some of the things that I&#8217;ve actually been reading, um, are from positive coaching Alliance, um, articles and emails and different things that I&#8217;ve been reading about. But, so some that spoke to me are about being resilient, which is kind of what you just said is, is bouncing back, um, having a growth mindset, the importance of not being so fixed on one specific thing that you can&#8217;t be flexible. Um, and then becoming a leader in and outside of your sport. So, you know, maybe it&#8217;s the example of a &#8230;]]></description>

Our guest John Davidson lays it out there that it&#8217;s not even comparable to the traditional sports he grew up playing. Hustling doesn&#8217;t necessarily equate to success in skateboarding like it does in football, baseball, and basketball. Skateboarding is more art than it is sport, he says. It&#8217;s style and how you look on the board. We talk about how John got into skating and how he and his brother truly carved out their opportunity for sponsorships. His brother had the passion for it, and John had the natural skill on the board. Kickflip, ollie and listen to learn about John Davidson&#8217;s journey as a skateboarder.

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. It took us well over a year and more than 50 episodes to get a skateboarder on here. But today is the day John Davidson. Welcome to hustle and pro. Thank you for having me. Well, I&#8217;m excited to learn your story. Like I said, skateboarding. This is our first skateboarding episode. So you&#8217;re going to teach us some things today and dive into your story. But first couple of quick hits. Can you tell me who is your favorite athlete? Either favorite athlete in your sport or just kind of overall favorite athlete? Yeah, I think I would say in skateboarding Nyjah Huston just because he&#8217;s the best in the world. Um, he&#8217;s the best in the streets as well as competitions. Skateboarders know the big difference between that. I just, I love, uh, I love athletes that dominate the competition. I&#8217;m not an underdog guy. I&#8217;m an overdog guy. Um, I just love to watch the best, just destroy everybody else. So I was a big Michael Jordan fan. Um, I had an opportunity actually when I was 10 years old to play basketball with Michael Jordan. Yeah. Um, it was at a camp in Fresno, California, and I can&#8217;t remember the name of the guy who ran it, but, uh, he was, I remember seeing a documentary Michael Jordan later, and he was one of his teammates that was a very close friend. He wasn&#8217;t like a Scottie Pippin level or somebody you would really know, but for some reason they were very close friends. And so Michael would come out to Fresno, California of all places that&#8217;s weird and got all the kids, got to play with them. So I loved his dominance. I loved watching LeBron dominate. Um, Barry Sanders was my favorite football player growing up and I grew up as a 49er fan in California. And, uh, my brother convinced me, I think I was 10 years old, that I had to like the lions as my favorite team because Barry Sanders was my favorite player and it completely destroyed my fandom cause it&#8217;s tough to be a lions fan. So, yeah, I&#8217;d go with this three, uh, Nyjah, Jordan and Barry Sanders with LeBron as a, a recent interest. That&#8217;s a good variety there. Yeah. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Oh man, that&#8217;s a good one. I mean, are there skateboarding movies? There&#8217;s no good skateboarding movies. There are skateboarding movies. There&#8217;s none you&#8217;d ever want to watch. Um, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a tough thing to translate. It&#8217;s such a pure space that when you try to act it, in fact, Rob Dyrdek, uh, who&#8217;s probably the most successful skateboarder from a business standpoint. Um, he produced a, a movie called street dreams and he had real pro skateboarders. Poverty is rain check color. They had a real screenwriter who wrote it and it was still little, little weird street dreams. Yeah. Now documentaries, there&#8217;s probably some fantastic documentaries about skateboarding. I would assume some about surfing and other similar type of sports that can probably translate when you get to, to, um, what do you call when you get to do the voiceover and, you know, explain it and really dive in that way. Actually, um, that&#8217;s a great point. Um, a documentary that I helped to produce just premiered on Tony Hawk pro skater. It&#8217;s called, uh, Pretending I&#8217;m Superman and it&#8217;s on, um, the Tony Hawk pro skater video game. So I guess I should say that&#8217;s my favorite one. It actually, it premiered at the Mammoth Film Festival. It won two awards. Oh wow. Uh, the awards were best documentary and best action sports film at the, at the film Fest. Wow. Okay. We&#8217;ll link to it in the, in the show notes so people can find it easier. That&#8217;s awesome. Okay. But what about, you know, mainstream sports movie? Are you like, you know What pops in my head? I think, um, I&#8217;m not a huge sports movie guy, but what pops in my head is remember the Titans. Um, I&#8217;m a big Denzel Washington fan, so that&#8217;s, uh, that&#8217;s a good one. I think Field of Dreams is reading my mind. That&#8217;s one of mine. Yeah, definitely on my list. Okay. So now we&#8217;ve obviously talked that you&#8217;re a skateboarder and we&#8217;ll talk about that, but what did sports overall look like for you as a kid growing &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. It took us well over a year and more than 50 episodes to get a skateboarder on here. But today is the day John Davidson. Welcome to hustle and pro. Thank you for having me. Well, I&#8217;m excited to learn your story. Like I said, skateboarding. This is our first skateboarding episode. So you&#8217;re going to teach us some things today and dive into your story. But first couple of quick hits. Can you tell me who is your favorite athlete? Either favorite athlete in your sport or just kind of overall favorite athlete? Yeah, I think I would say in skateboarding Nyjah Huston just because he&#8217;s the best in the world. Um, he&#8217;s the best in the streets as well as competitions. Skateboarders know the big difference between that. I just, I love, uh, I love athletes that dominate the competition. I&#8217;m not an underdog guy. I&#8217;m an overdog guy. Um, I just love to watch the best, just destroy everybody else. So I was a big Michael Jordan fan. Um, I had an opportunity actually when I was 10 years old to play basketball with Michael Jordan. Yeah. Um, it was at a camp in Fresno, California, and I can&#8217;t remember the name of the guy who ran it, but, uh, he was, I remember seeing a documentary Michael Jordan later, and he was one of his teammates that was a very close friend. He wasn&#8217;t like a Scottie Pippin level or somebody you would really know, but for some reason they were very close friends. And so Michael would come out to Fresno, California of all places that&#8217;s weird and got all the kids, got to play with them. So I loved his dominance. I loved watching LeBron dominate. Um, Barry Sanders was my favorite football player growing up and I grew up as a 49er fan in California. And, uh, my brother convinced me, I think I was 10 years old, that I had to like the lions as my favorite team because Barry Sanders was my favorite player and it completely destroyed my fandom cause it&#8217;s tough to be a lions fan. So, yeah, I&#8217;d go with this three, uh, Nyjah, Jordan and Barry Sanders with LeBron as a, a recent interest. That&#8217;s a good variety there. Yeah. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? Oh man, that&#8217;]]></itunes:summary>

Eddie Munjoma is a local, he came up through the FC Dallas Academy system, headed to play for his dream school SMU and just signed a pro contract with none other than FC Dallas. Hi Eddie. Hi. Thanks for coming in. I&#8217;m excited to get to know you. Of course. Thanks for having me. So let&#8217;s do a couple of icebreakers off the top and then we&#8217;ll get into it. So who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? That&#8217;s a, that&#8217;s a tough one. Um, I mean, I&#8217;d obviously probably lean more towards soccer. Um, you could give me a non soccer and a soccer answer. Yes. Okay. Yeah, I&#8217;ll do that. I&#8217;ll do that. Um, let&#8217;s see. All time. I&#8217;m a big Muhammad Ali fan. Um, I mean I think everything he&#8217;s done for just his sport and just his character in general speaks for herself. Um, obviously I didn&#8217;t, I wasn&#8217;t around during his prime of his career, but yeah, I got the chance to like watch a couple of his clips when he was, you know, doing the amazing things that he did. Um, so definitely all time. I would say Muhammad Ali, as far as soccer, that&#8217;s also a tough one. We get a lot of Messi in here sometimes. So do you like Messi? I do, but I might be a little different. I probably prefer Ronaldo a little more. Um, I really appreciate just his work ethic and just his drive to always want to be the best. Yes. Although, yes. Um, yeah, probably been a fan of his for I&#8217;d say six, seven years now. Um, but I mean I also love Messi. Messi is there. I mean he&#8217;s amazing as well. They kind of go back and forth. Right. They play off of each other of course. What about superstitions? So do you personally have game day superstition or anything that&#8217;s interesting to tell us about? Uh, I mean, I think in general, like, I dunno, I could try to keep a similar, like schedule everything. I do. Um, I want to make sure, like I eat breakfast, depending on what time the game is. Like let&#8217;s say the game is around like six or seven. Um, I wanna make sure I have my breakfast by like nine-ish. Uh, and then I want to have a snack before I eat kind of a pregame meal around 3:30. Um, I guess when it comes to precision and I&#8217;m kinda like really specific with like the times that I wanted to your schedule. Right. Yeah. Um, Is that just for consistency purposes so that you don&#8217;t get thrown off your body&#8217;s ready? Yeah, and I think just for my personal state of mind, like I want to make sure I did this at this time and so on and so forth. So I guess that&#8217;s kind of my main superstition. Just kind of making sure I keep, uh, the schedule that I want. Yeah. Okay. What about sports? Movies? What is your favorite sports movie? That&#8217;s another tough one. Um, I&#8217;ll do one that&#8217;s not soccer and then one that is soccer. Okay. Um, a non soccer one I really liked, uh, Like Mike, I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve heard of it. Yeah, I haven&#8217;t not seen it. You haven&#8217;t seen it? I haven&#8217;t. It&#8217;s, it&#8217;s really good at highly recommend. Um, yeah, I watched the first for the first time when I was really, really young, but it&#8217;s just an instant classic to me. Like anytime it&#8217;s on, like I&#8217;m always going to my watch list. I definitely, I definitely recommend. Um, and then soccer, there&#8217;s a series a goal. Um, I think the first one is called goal. The dream begins. And then the second one is goal two, living the dream, something like that. Um, that&#8217;s probably one of the better soccer movies I&#8217;ve watched. Is it a movie or is it following a team? Like documentaries? No, it&#8217;s a movie. It&#8217;s like, it&#8217;s a fake story about a player that, uh, grows up in LA. Um, he ends up going to England playing for New Castle, and then in the second movie he transferred from Newcastle to go to [inaudible]. Um, but yeah, I&#8217;d probably say that&#8217;s probably one of the better soccer movies I&#8217;ve watched. Okay. Well now I have three to add to my watch list. You surprise me. I have no, no, those. Thank you. Oh, of course. Okay. Let&#8217;s start, um, with &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m excited because you know, I&#8217;m a customer now of yours and so I&#8217;m like was excited to sit down and talk hair with you. I&#8217;m excited to be here and I know that you&#8217;ve talked to our audience before. Um, but for those who might be hearing your voice for the first time, I definitely want to start off with kind of a brief overview, like what is Monat? Sure. I would love to share. So money, it actually stands for modern nature, so it&#8217;s pronounced magnate if you&#8217;re curious. And we are actually focused on anti-aging. We are the first really in this space to offer naturally based products for both hair and skin, but most known for our shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and the focus or the focal point is on scalp health and it&#8217;s for men, women, and children. And we&#8217;re actually now officially the number one premium hair care brand in the entire world. So that is a huge bragging, right. Yes. And we use active cellular renewal, so it preserves natural or artificial color and is safe for hair extensions and any way we&#8217;re toxin-free vegan, gluten free leaping bunny certified, which means that we don&#8217;t do cruelty like animal testing and leaping bunny. That&#8217;s, yeah. Leaping bunny certified. It&#8217;s a big deal and it&#8217;s super expensive and we actually clinically trial every product and with thousands of choices. I don&#8217;t know any other brand that can offer all of that. So it&#8217;s pretty impressive. It is. It&#8217;s just to me, feels like it&#8217;s all, all of the stuff you just said to wrap it up. It&#8217;s like the healthy way to treat your hair. That&#8217;s how I feel like now that I, I mean it&#8217;s been a few months now since I&#8217;ve been one of your customers. I&#8217;m proud of that. Um, and because I&#8217;m a customer, I wanted to say that, um, I love the way my hair looks. Of course. I feel like it&#8217;s healthier than ever. But what I like about, um, getting to know you and work with you with my hair is that you educate me. I think it&#8217;s cool that, um, you help me understand like specific products that are best for me. For example, and you can, you can better explain this, but like you taught me about, um, like dry shampoo tips. Do you want to tell us about that? Sure. So one of the best things that I&#8217;ve learned is that if you will shake up the bottle until it&#8217;s cold, so you shake, shake, shake till it&#8217;s cold to the touch, and then when you spray it on, it&#8217;s best to do it at night if you&#8217;re shampooing in the morning. So that way the dry shampoo, ours is actually a conditioning dry shampoo, which sounds like an oxymoron, but it moisturizes the scalp because it doesn&#8217;t have a talk or a butane base. And so as your oil might start producing overnight, the dry shampoo is soaking that in. And so let&#8217;s say you hold it too close to the scalp and you get like a white residue by morning, you&#8217;re not going to see that right? So it&#8217;s pretty sweet that way. Yeah, it&#8217;s, I don&#8217;t know, I guess it&#8217;s the, no talc and no butane that you mentioned that&#8217;s different from some of the other dry shampoos I use. I jumped on the dry shampoo bandwagon a little while back, but it was always using a grocery store, bought dry shampoo, right. Kind of, I&#8217;m a cheap person so like I would buy like the cheaper versions of whatever. Um, and then once I switched over to using Monat, like it&#8217;s a totally different feel in my hair with the cheaper grocery store stuff I call it. I know you probably hate me saying that, but um, my hair, my fingers would get like kind of stuck in that, that dry shampooed hair. But now it&#8217;s still like a smooth, now that, that I do the tips that you just pointed out, like dry shampooing before bed, it&#8217;s a smoother hair the next day, dry shampoo and night brush it out, sleep on it, and then it just feels like a fresher head of hair that&#8217;s not like a clumpy with a bunch of weird products in it in the morning. Yes. It&#8217;s not suffocating your follicles and your scalp. Yeah. Another tip that you gave me and taught me about my hair is this whole four inches of your hair being alive, but so can you educate us real &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of Hustle and Pro. We&#8217;re talking with Aric Holman today. Aric is a Texas Legends player, so we&#8217;re going to hear from him about his journey to the G league and what he brings to this team on and off the court. Hey Aric, welcome. Thank you for having me. Yeah, thanks for coming. First of all, I want to get your opinion kind of fresh in my mind as we&#8217;re turning this all star weekend break here. Did you watch all star weekend coverage and activities? Yes, ma&#8217;am. All right, so what, what are your thoughts on like, um, three point shoot out the new, the new green ball. I can&#8217;t remember what it was, a sponsored ball, but whatever that green ball was. Do you like that new addition? Uh, yes. I like it a lot just because of the transition of the game. You know, people were starting to shoot further out and not as close to the deeper line. So it&#8217;s letting them show their talents. Also while they&#8217;re having fun. So you&#8217;re a three point shooter? Yes. Yes ma&#8217;am. Where would your Moneyball rack be when you get to shoot in three point competition? I would probably see the left corner. Left corner? Yes. So not the baseline, but the next one over. So do you make that your second shot or your second to last shot? You know how like most of them wait and have their Moneyball rack at the end. You think that&#8217;s a good strategy or are they too tired? Um, it just depends on where, where you feel like your heart at, you know, where you know you&#8217;re gonna knock down shots in. So I would put mine last. Okay. So save it till the end. You get that rhythm going. So what about the dunk contest? It was a controversy a little year. So did you grow up watching dunk contest? Yes ma&#8217;am. Yes. So what are your favorite, like when you think of your favorite dunk contest memories, who is it? Oh, definitely say that. Does that Levine and Aaron Gordon year? Yes. All right. So speaking of Aaron Gordon, so, well, what&#8217;s your favorite? Like are those your favorite guys? Dunkers like dunking style guys or was that just your favorite like competition? Yeah. Oh, that was just my favorite competition. Who&#8217;s your favorite person to watch dunk? Um, I&#8217;ll probably say uh, Shawn Kemp. Okay. You know, he&#8217;s an older guy, but this is what he bring to the game as he&#8217;s dunking. You know, it was pretty, pretty cool to watch. Yeah. So there was controversy this year because, um, what they had to go extra rounds and I dunno, I don&#8217;t think they all had it all figured out beforehand. So that was kind of part of the problem. Now the judges are saying they thought it was going to be one way or the other. So, um, what was your favorite thing? This, that we saw a lot of new stuff this year. So what was your favorite thing you saw on the slam dunk this year? I mean there, there was creativity there, you know, but just basically the main thing was just guys is you don&#8217;t just having fun and seeing what um, Derrick Jones jr could do, you know, know. I mean, people know him for jumping and just so for him to be able to be on that stage and do good, you know, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a great thing. Yeah. He was fun to watch. He just has like a, he just looks good in the air. He&#8217;s all this low Mo&#8217;s. He looks really, you know, like picturesque that he can do. Okay. So some quick hits to kind of get to know you in your personal sports style a little better. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? A favorite sports movie would probably be Glory Road. Glory Road. That&#8217;s a new answer. I haven&#8217;t gotten that one yet. Okay. Who is your favorite athlete of all time? LeBron James. LeBron. I was quick easy. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch basketball. Definitely. What&#8217;s your favorite sport? To play baseball. Okay. That&#8217;s where I was, I was wondering that because I&#8217;ve read that about you. Right? So, um, you&#8217;ve talked about how baseball, how much you love baseball and it was a big part of your life. So tell me a little &#8230;]]></description>

You know, he&#8217;s an older guy, but this is what he bring to the game as he&#8217;s dunking. You know, it was pretty, pretty cool to watch. Yeah. So there was controversy this year because, um, what they had to go extra rounds and I dunno, I don&#8217;t think they all had it all figured out beforehand. So that was kind of part of the problem. Now the judges are saying they thought it was going to be one way or the other. So, um, what was your favorite thing? This, that we saw a lot of new stuff this year. So what was your favorite thing you saw on the slam dunk this year? I mean there, there was creativity there, you know, but just basically the main thing was just guys is you don&#8217;t just having fun and seeing what um, Derrick Jones jr could do, you know, know. I mean, people know him for jumping and just so for him to be able to be on that stage and do good, you know, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a great thing. Yeah. He was fun to watch. He just has like a, he just looks good in the air. He&#8217;s all this low Mo&#8217;s. He looks really, you know, like picturesque that he can do. Okay. So some quick hits to kind of get to know you in your personal sports style a little better. What&#8217;s your favorite sports movie? A favorite sports movie would probably be Glory Road. Glory Road. That&#8217;s a new answer. I haven&#8217;t gotten that one yet. Okay. Who is your favorite athlete of all time? LeBron James. LeBron. I was quick easy. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch basketball. Definitely. What&#8217;s your favorite sport? To play baseball. Okay.

Aric is a Texas Legends player, so we&#8217;re going to hear from him about his journey to the G league and what he brings to this team on and off the court. Hey Aric, welcome. Thank you for having me. Yeah, thanks for coming. First of all, I want to get your opinion kind of fresh in my mind as we&#8217;re turning this all star weekend break here. Did you watch all star weekend coverage and activities? Yes, ma&#8217;am. All right, so what, what are your thoughts on like, um, three point shoot out the new, the new green ball. I can&#8217;t remember what it was, a sponsored ball, but whatever that green ball was. Do you like that new addition? Uh, yes. I like it a lot just because of the transition of the game. You know, people were starting to shoot further out and not as close to the deeper line. So it&#8217;s letting them show their talents. Also while they&#8217;re having fun. So you&#8217;re a three point shooter? Yes. Yes ma&#8217;am. Where would your Moneyball rack be when you get to shoot in three point competition? I would probably see the left corner. Left corner? Yes. So not the baseline, but the next one over. So do you make that your second shot or your second to last shot? You know how like most of them wait and have their Moneyball rack at the end. You think that&#8217;s a good strategy or are they too tired? Um, it just depends on where, where you feel like your heart at, you know, where you know you&#8217;re gonna knock down shots in. So I would put mine last. Okay. So save it till the end. You get that rhythm going. So what about the dunk contest? It was a controversy a little year. So did you grow up watching dunk contest? Yes ma&#8217;am. Yes. So what are your favorite, like when you think of your favorite dunk contest memories, who is it? Oh, definitely say that. Does that Levine and Aaron Gordon year? Yes. All right. So speaking of Aaron Gordon, so, well, what&#8217;s your favorite? Like are those your favorite guys? Dunkers like dunking style guys or was that just your favorite like competition? Yeah. Oh, that was just my favorite competition. Who&#8217;s your favorite person to watch dunk? Um, I&#8217;ll probably say uh, Shawn Kemp. Okay.

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your guest host today. Nicole Barron, sitting with Ann Anderson of Anderson Insurance here in Frisco. Hi Ann. Hi. How are you Nicole? Good. It&#8217;s always a pleasure to see you. We got to do this together a year ago and at that time we had your lovely husband with us as well to chat and um, our relationship with you is so wonderful. You&#8217;re one of our favorite clients because you&#8217;re so fun to work with. You bring great content for us and the community adores you. Oh, thank you. Well, I love our community, so it makes it easy and it&#8217;s always been a great relationship with Lifestyle Frisco, so. Well thanks. I appreciate that. So you and I were chit chatting beforehand and trying to catch up personally a little bit and it was fun to talk about where your kiddos are now and how things have changed for your family in the last one, what would you say? 10 to 15 years. How long have you been here again? We just had 15 years. Yes. Years. So long. And we won&#8217;t, we won&#8217;t do the cliche. Oh, back when it was fields on La Hacienda Ranch, we&#8217;ll just breeze past that. Thank you. By the mall. Dirt roads. It&#8217;s been said. It&#8217;s been said. Um, so what is new with your family? How are things going? So I think a year ago our daughter was in college in North Carolina, but now she&#8217;s done a semester at Disney in an internship there with their college program, which was amazing. Also gave her some clarity and time to look back and think. So she&#8217;s moved home and is doing Collin for a semester. So our, our college junior is home, which is different dynamic. And our youngest is about to graduate from Frisco High School. So we&#8217;re um, he is very clear he&#8217;s going to go to Collin for a couple of years and then to Texas Tech. That&#8217;s been, he said that for years, uh, our, but now we&#8217;re looking at colleges again cause our junior needs to transfer, so to finish up somewhere. So we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re back at that kinda stage, but she&#8217;s, she&#8217;s very level headed and she has a much better idea of what she&#8217;s, where she wants to be. So good. We have such good options here. Do you do that? Play the parent card, like, you know, you could go to UNT and just the around the corner. Are you comfortable with them going off and being wherever they want to be? You know, she just did, you know, five, six months in Orlando without a car figuring it out. She only asked us for money once. She lived in an apartment with five other girls and have the most amazing time of her life. And I think she wants to go work for Disney for the rest of, for every forever. Right. She&#8217;s like a Disney fiend now. But um, so I don&#8217;t worry so as much, you know, um, we are, we are definitely looking at Texas colleges though she&#8217;s, she&#8217;s kind of put that like, I want to stay in Texas. It&#8217;s easier. It, you know, it&#8217;s not so far away. It&#8217;d be nice to kind of finish and then, and then we&#8217;ll see where life takes her. So, you know what, that&#8217;s a unique segue into what you do professionally and are so good at is insurance. And I have to wonder because I have little kids, we&#8217;re all very just living the Frisco life. Haven&#8217;t had to give thought to like the future future quite yet. From an insurance perspective, when you&#8217;re sending kids off to college in state, out of state, what do you have to think about? What are the, I mean that&#8217;s a giant question. It&#8217;s a huge question, you know, and I will tell you that, you know, we have attorney friends there. Of course, there&#8217;s so many things that they, they remind us of, you know, make sure you have a powers of attorney you have, there&#8217;s a number of legal documents when our kids turn 18 they immediately are not our children anymore. They&#8217;re adults in their own right. And so there&#8217;s a lot of legalities around that and being able to even just have access when you go. Okay. The first rude awakening was at the college when we went to, it was called one-stop and that&#8217;s where kind of the offices are. And you just went in and we wanted to find out some information about paying. We knew we wanted to pay them and they were like, we&#8217;re sorry. Do you have the code that your student would have given you to access her account? I was like, I want to give you money. I kid, she&#8217;s my kid. But those are real things and I, and I, I really understand the reasons for it. So, um, so yeah, even in insurance then we think about, well we need to make sure that, you know, she set up with insurance for her dorm room, &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Pee Wee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. Happy one year to Hustle and Pro to celebrate. I have a VIP guest. There literally would not be a Hustle and Pro podcast without Scott Ellis. Hi Scott. How are ya? That&#8217;s good. I&#8217;m great. It&#8217;s good to be here. Good. I&#8217;m excited for you to be having me on your podcast. Well thank you for coming and for this podcast itself. So you&#8217;re the co-founder of Lifestyle Frisco and you&#8217;re the it guy who helped me get this project, um, podcast project built in live. So first of all, thank you for saying yes when I kind of had this idea a little while ago. Absolutely. Thank you for taking the initiative and just running with it the way you did. So why did you say yes to a sports specific podcast here in town? Good question. I think there were a couple of reasons. One, uh, I was interested in seeing us do more audio content in general. I think it&#8217;s a great format. It&#8217;s easy. It&#8217;s very portable. People can listen to it, the car or while they&#8217;re out for a walk or a run or what have you. Um, I also appreciated how prepared you seemed to be to get something up and running. You seem like you were very dedicated to the idea and you were already working on a logo and all that kind of thing. And a lot of people have an idea for a podcast and they start something, but on average, a lot of people don&#8217;t know this. The average podcast only makes it to episode seven and then then, Oh, we killed it. Oh yeah, you&#8217;re slaying it. But I mean, the problem that I think people confront is it seems very easy just to sit in front of a microphone and talk. And that&#8217;s not the hard part. There&#8217;s a whole lot of other work that goes on outside of that when you realize how much work it is. It&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a, it&#8217;s a hobby that demands some of your time and it needs to be done consistently if you&#8217;re going to build an audience. And then the third reason I was interested in it was a specifically because sports is so popular in Frisco and there&#8217;s so many, uh, sports-related activities and teams. There&#8217;s an endless amount of content and I thought it would be a great way to cover all those things. And I love the fact that you&#8217;re doing, as we say, from Peewee to Pro. I mean you&#8217;ve got the gauntlet covered and good stories. I think the first one you did was first or second was the, uh, women&#8217;s lacrosse first. First one. I think that was Beth. And it was a, it was a really fun episode to listen to for me because I know nothing about lacrosse to begin with. I didn&#8217;t certainly know anything about the difference between men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s lacrosse, um, or that we even had, you know, those teams that were here. Um, so I mean it was just a great start and it was a fun episode. I love what you&#8217;re doing with it. Thank you. Yeah, we&#8217;ve covered a lot. Um, it&#8217;s kinda been fun to look back and I want to do that here in a minute, but one of the things that we started, uh, format wise was some quick hits to sort of, let me get into the minds of my guests off the top. So I have some quick hits for you. Hit me. Okay. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Or you can name a few. I know there&#8217;s a lot of pressure to pick up. It&#8217;s hard because I&#8217;ve, even though I&#8217;m not known as being like a hardcore sports guy, I have definitely followed sports for a long time, you know, starting when I was a kid playing basketball and football. And I&#8217;ll tell you the first couple of people that pop into my head. Well, first of all, Jordan is the first one that popped into mind. Michael Jordan. Yeah, I mean that guy, just what he did for the game of basketball, um, was just amazing. I mean, he really was a true, um, steward of the game and a good ambassador for the game of basketball. And I&#8217;m dominantly a basketball person. I do like football as well. Um, as far as watching, yeah. Basketball and football. Yeah. What about playing yourself? Uh, playing basketball? I mean, if I was going to play actively, I haven&#8217;t been out playing basketball &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we&#8217;re hanging out with Buddy and Robyn from Visual Learning Solutions. Guys, welcome to the show. Thank you very much Scott. It&#8217;s good to have you here. Visual learning solutions, I&#8217;m guessing you help people teach. Well are it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s visual because I&#8217;m a visual learner and uh, obviously we wanted when we pick the brand years ago and we wanted it to be in the name, you know what we do. So, uh, we designed training for the visual learner to be consumed as most people do now on some type of device. Uh, that&#8217;s really kind of where we started was picking a lane on, on how we&#8217;re going to deliver training. So it&#8217;s training, development, basically if you like most people have taken some type of online training, you&#8217;ve consumed, say a e-learning or watched a training video, that is what we do. Gotcha. Um, so just so I know kind of who we&#8217;re talking to here, if I&#8217;m going to teach a course, I wanted to develop a course that&#8217;s going to be out online in somehow consumed through devices online. Do I come to you to help me produce and develop that is, does that what I understand correctly then? Yes. So I, so I&#8217;m Buddy Broyles, I&#8217;m the CEO of the company. I&#8217;m the, I&#8217;m the uh, chief creative if you will, but I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m, I wear a lot of different hats and of course my business partner, Denise Broyles, she&#8217;s the operations manager in Robin&#8217;s seated to my right. She&#8217;s the senior creative editor and other things. But as when we&#8217;re approached and when we&#8217;ve talked to new customers, our goal is to understand basically from concept delivery and where they are in that cycle. So if you, for example, if you are a, uh, a typical trainer that is like instructor led, you lead courses, you talk in front of people in front of a room, maybe with a PowerPoint or something like that, we would want to understand, you know, what are your goals and who&#8217;s the greater audience you&#8217;re trying to reach for our co, our corporate customers, they will reach out to us and say, well buddy, we have instructional designers. People that understand how people learn and that are trained in that area. They&#8217;ve written a script or they have some type of content already created. We, we need your help fulfilling that either it&#8217;s video production or it&#8217;s a e-learning design or graphic design or even help designing the brand of that training. What does it look like? How, you know, what&#8217;s the user experience? How are people consuming that? So we can answer a lot of different questions based on whatever the need, whatever you bring to me as the, uh, even as someone who doesn&#8217;t know how people learn, but you know that you have a topic that you need them to consume. Then we just start the conversation there. Gotcha. So I&#8217;m curious what, uh, what was it that got you guys into this business and wanting to help develop courses and training and education for online consumption? Well, Robin, if you don&#8217;t mind just kind of start with your history. Well, I&#8217;m like Buddy, I&#8217;m a visual person. You know, I&#8217;ve always been a visual storyteller and a, I started out in the industry, you know, working TV and, and corporate stuff. And then I went into teaching for a while and I was in public education. And teaching is something that came very naturally to me. And so when I got out of education and came back to the, uh, production industry, I, you know, met up with Buddy. I, uh, knew him while I was teaching. He actually came and talked to my classes. Um, but it was a perfect fit for me because I could utilize my education background and my visual storytelling strengths and marry the two together. It&#8217;s kind of a management and have an Arthur. Yeah, for sure. Good deal. So I&#8217;m kind of curious when, when you&#8217;re putting together or helping somebody to kind of come up with a look in the field and in developing that, that online training, um, is it, are we building things that are not only maybe somebody on camera whiteboard stuff, but also graphics, infographics and kind of motion graphics and things like that, incorporate it into, do you guys do all that stuff? We do it all. And so as I&#8217;ve mentioned before, or possibly it&#8217;s concept to delivery, so, um, we&#8217;ll first, uh, we&#8217;d like to host what it&#8217;s called a discovery sessions, very similar to the marketing, uh, life cycle. So it&#8217;s essentially bringing all of the stakeholders together, even if it&#8217;s just one person on the other side of the table with us and to understanding their brand, their goals, their audience. So that&#8217;s the discovery. And that usually results in a report that is, this is the roadmap for what the project should look like from a &#8230;]]></description>

Then we just start the conversation there. Gotcha. So I&#8217;m curious what, uh, what was it that got you guys into this business and wanting to help develop courses and training and education for online consumption? Well, Robin, if you don&#8217;t mind just kind of start with your history. Well, I&#8217;m like Buddy, I&#8217;m a visual person. You know, I&#8217;ve always been a visual storyteller and a, I started out in the industry, you know, working TV and, and corporate stuff. And then I went into teaching for a while and I was in public education. And teaching is something that came very naturally to me. And so when I got out of education and came back to the, uh, production industry, I, you know, met up with Buddy. I, uh, knew him while I was teaching. He actually came and talked to my classes. Um, but it was a perfect fit for me because I could utilize my education background and my visual storytelling strengths and marry the two together. It&#8217;s kind of a management and have an Arthur. Yeah, for sure. Good deal. So I&#8217;m kind of curious when, when you&#8217;re putting together or helping somebody to kind of come up with a look in the field and in developing that, that online training, um, is it, are we building things that are not only maybe somebody on camera whiteboard stuff, but also graphics, infographics and kind of motion graphics and things like that, incorporate it into, do you guys do all that stuff? We do it all. And so as I&#8217;ve mentioned before, or possibly it&#8217;s concept to delivery, so, um, we&#8217;ll first, uh, we&#8217;d like to host what it&#8217;s called a discovery sessions, very similar to the marketing, uh, life cycle. So it&#8217;s essentially bringing all of the stakeholders together, even if it&#8217;s just one person on the other side of the table with us and to understanding their brand, their goals, their audience. So that&#8217;s the discovery. And that usually results in a report that is, this is the roadmap for what the project should look like from a &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we&#8217;re hanging out with Buddy and Robyn from Visual Learning Solutions. Guys, welcome to the show. Thank you very much Scott. It&#8217;s good to have you here. Visual learning solutions, I&#8217;m guessing you help people teach. Well are it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s visual because I&#8217;m a visual learner and uh, obviously we wanted when we pick the brand years ago and we wanted it to be in the name, you know what we do. So, uh, we designed training for the visual learner to be consumed as most people do now on some type of device. Uh, that&#8217;s really kind of where we started was picking a lane on, on how we&#8217;re going to deliver training. So it&#8217;s training, development, basically if you like most people have taken some type of online training, you&#8217;ve consumed, say a e-learning or watched a training video, that is what we do. Gotcha. Um, so just so I know kind of who we&#8217;re talking to here, if I&#8217;m going to teach a course, I wanted to develop a course that&#8217;s going to be out online in somehow consumed through devices online. Do I come to you to help me produce and develop that is, does that what I understand correctly then? Yes. So I, so I&#8217;m Buddy Broyles, I&#8217;m the CEO of the company. I&#8217;m the, I&#8217;m the uh, chief creative if you will, but I&#8217;m, I&#8217;m, I wear a lot of different hats and of course my business partner, Denise Broyles, she&#8217;s the operations manager in Robin&#8217;s seated to my right. She&#8217;s the senior creative editor and other things. But as when we&#8217;re approached and when we&#8217;ve talked to new customers, our goal is to understand basically from concept delivery and where they are in that cycle. So if you, for example, if you are a, uh, a typical trainer that is like instructor led, you lead courses, you talk in front of people in front of a room, maybe with a PowerPoint or something like that, we would want to understand, you know, what are your goals and who&#8217;s the greater audience you&#8217;re trying to reach for our co, our corporate customers, they will reach out to us and say, well buddy, we have instructional designers. People that understand how people learn and that are trained in that area. They&#8217;ve written a script or they have some type of content already created. We, we need your help fulfilling that either it&#8217;s video production or it&#8217;s a e-learning design or graphic design or even help designing the brand of that training. What does it look like? How, you know, what&#8217;s the user experience? How are people consuming that? So we can answer a lot of different questions based on whatever the need, whatever you bring to me as the, uh, even as someone who doesn&#8217;t know how people learn, but you know that you have a topic that you need them to consume. Then we just start th]]></itunes:summary>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And in this episode we&#8217;re talking about the Home and Garden Show that&#8217;s coming to Frisco on March 20th through 22nd I have a number of guests in the studio with me today. So, uh, I tell you what, instead of me introducing you guys, why don&#8217;t we go around the room and you guys can introduce yourselves and I&#8217;m gonna start with Sue. Hi, my name is Sue Yaghi. I am going to be the home and garden show and I am going to talk about the basic methods of the KonMari organizing. So you&#8217;re gonna be doing, talking to you have a booth there as well. I do not have a booth. I&#8217;ll be talking on Saturday. I have two sessions at 11 and two and then on Sunday at one o&#8217;clock. Perfect. Okay. Howard. Well, I&#8217;m the dirt doctor. I&#8217;m been, I&#8217;ve been in the landscape business all my life. I&#8217;m currently doing the radio talk show weekly that&#8217;s nationally syndicated. I&#8217;ve written 15 books on organic gardening, various specific subjects. And I, uh, just teach people how to go organic and stop using synthetic fertilizers and toxic chemical pesticides. We&#8217;ll be speaking three times at the event. Okay. Very good. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll have a number of questions for you. And last but not least, mirror. Hi, my name is Me Ra Koh and I was a photo mom on Disney for several years, which is a show called capture your story. And I love empowering people with photo tips on how to capture their family. We&#8217;re going to have a booth there as well. We um, just came here from Seattle and have a local studio now in Frisco. So I&#8217;ll be on the stage giving tips on how to look thinner in photos, how to get high energy kids to like calm down for the photo. Just all kinds of tips that, you know, we just want when we&#8217;re working with kids, um, as well as have some of our fine artwork of families on display there. Well, we&#8217;re going to have a lot of questions for you guys as well. So we&#8217;re gonna have some fun here today. And again, the Home and Garden Show is happening. It&#8217;s at the Star in Frisco. So if you didn&#8217;t get to go last year, uh, this is the second year at the star and it is March 20th through 22nd. So it&#8217;s coming up pretty fast. So, uh, let&#8217;s go ahead and dig in with a little bit of organizing talk here because you know that that&#8217;s a topic that comes up frequently, um, with some of our writers and other people that we work with at lifestyle Frisco. There&#8217;s so many families moving into Frisco, you know, kind of clean slate, new house, all that kind of stuff. So tell us a little bit about the KonMari method. What exactly does that mean? And we&#8217;ll go from there, Right? The KonMari method really has three rules, uh, three basic rules. And the first rule is be honest with yourself and visualize your ideal life. What is your ideal life and why do you want to tidy? It&#8217;s not just about tidying or houses. Why do you want to do it? And trust me, once you are done, you will find out that your life is just a little more and less, more stress, fee free. And therefore you have a better life. So that&#8217;s number one. Number two are the rule number two is tidy in one go. Do not tidy. One room, do not tidy. One closet tidy in one go. Um, so you basically pile everything up. There are certain categories to go by, but basically you pile everything up so you see the magnitude of what you have. And the third and last rule is tidy by category. So you tidy. There are five categories in the KonMari method, clothes, books, papers, um, komono komono means miscellaneous, which is kitchen, bathroom, everything else. And the last one is sentimental. Sentimental meaning your albums, you know, the closets of albums and pictures, the pictures on the walls, sentimental item, psych, wedding dresses, um, maybe little trinkets, maybe the thousand Christmas cards that we&#8217;ve saved over the years. And we have, we don&#8217;t have the heart to throw those away. So that is sentimental. So once you go by these three rules, you will really understand that once you&#8217;re done, Oh my gosh, my life is stress free. So you, if you start with clothes, you basically take all the clothes you personally have not talking about your partner. I&#8217;m not talking about your kids, I&#8217;m talking about you personally. You, whoever wants to start it has to do it, has to go through the experience themselves. Throw all your clothes on the bed, socks, underwear, jackets, coats, um, anything you have, um, scarves. Throw them all on the bed in a huge pile and take a look at it and say, why do I have all of this? &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Pee Wee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host Kelly Walker. We talk plenty about pro sports and even high school athletes in sports here on hustle and pro. But we&#8217;re diving into college sports again today and telling you about a chance to see some college basketball here in Frisco soon. Our guest, Keisha Dunlap is here to help. Welcome to Hustle and Pro Keisha. Thank you Kelly. Excited to be here. Yeah, thanks for coming. So let&#8217;s learn about you and then we&#8217;ll get into some of the conference USA action that&#8217;s coming up. So tell me who you would say is your all-time favorite athlete. Ooh, that&#8217;s easy. Michael Jordan. Easy, easy peasy. Would you say then what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? Probably along the same lines. We&#8217;ll keep the theme going. Basketball grew up playing a lot of different sports. Um, my dad played college basketball, my brother played basketball in high school. Um, so that&#8217;s been a big, a big sport in our family. Then what&#8217;s your favorite sport to do yourself or to play? I really liked playing volleyball when I was in, um, when I was in high school. That was probably my favorite sport to play actually when I went to college. Um, I went to college on a track scholarship, so I ended up throwing the hammer, uh, in college. Uh, but my roommates were volleyball players and they&#8217;re still some of my very best friends to this day. So I really learned to love the game of volleyball when I was playing it and then supporting my, my roommates and the volleyball team in college. So you played volleyball in high school then ended up playing, well track and field events, right. And college, but then your roommates are volleyball players, so you probably were at those games and were kind of a pseudo volleyball team. And I was, it kinda came full circle for me because that was always my favorite sport. Wasn&#8217;t the sport I was best at, but really just, I like the action. Uh, the fast-paced action of volleyball. Um, and then I just so happen to live right across the hall from volleyball players. And like I said, they became really my group of friends in college. And um, still to this day they&#8217;re my college friends. So is this throwing the hammer in, getting a scholarship for that? Was this sort of a random thing or were you, is that something you excelled at all through high school? I really didn&#8217;t start with track until my sophomore year in high school. So I played everything growing up. Um, you know, the Saturday morning soccer where you got the donuts and the orange juice after the games. I did, went through that stage, um, played slow pitch softball. Um, but when I got to high school it was fast pitch softball and I think I got a little scared just because I had never played it before, so I didn&#8217;t play anything in that spring of my freshman year in high school and I was so bored, I was just so used to always having, you know, one when once one sport was done, I was going right to the next one. So then after basketball season, my freshman year in high school, I didn&#8217;t do anything in the spring. And when about crazy, um, so my sophomore year, one of my friends that played basketball said, why don&#8217;t you just at least go out for the track team? Just throw the shot, put in the disc. It&#8217;s just so you&#8217;re doing something. And I was like, Oh, okay, I&#8217;ll try it. You never know. I&#8217;m never field is one of those things that you just, you might have that skill and you didn&#8217;t really know it. I had no idea. You don&#8217;t play it as a young child usually? No, not at all. So ended up being pretty successful, um, in the first year that I did it in the second year that I did it. Um, and then it was really important for me. I really wanted to play sports in college and I hadn&#8217;t kind of had to look at myself and say, okay, what&#8217;s going to give me the best opportunity to play sports in college? And it was track and field. So I really focused on that my senior year in high school. So growing up, were you a family that had that, you know, hope and goal that &#8230;]]></description>

SHOW NOTES: [01:30] Advanced Data Analytics Master&#8217;s program at UNT [03:32] What is DFW Open Data Day [08:48] Where open data is published [13:31] Examples of using open data [14:45] DFW Open Data Day information [16:18] Data sets and transportation LINKS &#38; RESOURCES: UNT Frisco University of North Texas DFW Open Data Day Info: Website Eventbrite  Abdulrahman Habib: Bio &#124; LinkedIn Connect with Lifestyle Frisco on:  YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Transcript Machine-generated. Welcome to UNT Unplugged. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis, and I am here with, he&#8217;s just got one name, like Prince. We&#8217;re going to call him Habib. Welcome to the show Habib. Thanks for joining us today. We&#8217;re going to talk a little bit about what you do with UNT in an event that you have coming up today. Sure. Um, I teach advanced analytics and advanced analytics program at UNT Frisco and I&#8217;m here for the Open Data Day or DFW Open Data Day today we are hosting in a couple of weeks. Awesome. So we&#8217;re going to talk about that in just a minute, but I want to start a little bit, uh, just by way of what you do at UNT and that. So you&#8217;re an associate professor. I&#8217;m an assistant professor, assistant professor, yes. And you teach, uh, advanced data and analytics. So I teach a, a bit of stats and a bit of data visualization and some, some basic codings here and there, big data, uh, infrastructure and that engineering. Very cool. So my wife is actually taking your class right now. Um, and I would not define her as a quantitative type of a quote unquote quants necessarily. But she&#8217;s getting a lot out of it and I think she&#8217;s enjoying it. I&#8217;ll be maybe a little bit of frustration at times, but, uh, fortunately she&#8217;s got a technology person there to help her out once in a while. She mentioned to you my anytime I do try to keep her sane with that respect. But no, it&#8217;s, it sounds like an interesting course and it&#8217;s definitely the kind of thing that I would be interested in taking. So if somebody is interested in learning more about data science in general and they&#8217;re interested in this master&#8217;s course at UNT, what do they have to look forward to? What are they going to learn while they&#8217;re there? Um, so far as the fall, they, um, this program is a master program. Uh, you need to have a bachelor degree to apply to it. Um, it&#8217;s a very flexible, open type of program where it&#8217;s mainly geared toward practitioners, so people who are working full time, um, and we teach multiple topics or you will get introduced to many areas within that eScience. And then you will take it from there to develop yourself further and maybe get that internship board world. Can I industry in that area. So if you ever changing careers or if you are interested in just learning about this area within it or within a computer science, uh, this is your place. Um, again, this program is meant to be for practitioners, so not that much requirements or different courses to prerequisite. We go through the basic details for each of the single course. Most of the courses are hybrid and in a eight week type of courses.Uh, so it&#8217;s a bit condensed, but it&#8217;s to the point. And to give you, um, the headstart with any of the topics we have. I think it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s cool that you guys have this at UNT because, um, in, in the, in, in all of the different companies I&#8217;ve worked with, data science and data scientists are becoming a pretty hot commodity right now. People that can figure out how to get their arms wrapped around all the big data that&#8217;s being produced and then actually go and make some kind of sense out of it so that the business can make decisions is just more and in demand. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s going away anytime soon. So definitely something I would encourage people to think about if they&#8217;re interested in that kind of thing. Yeah, the program is super cool. We have group from different all walks of lives, uh, in the program and you will learn multiple things again, your get out of your comfort zone, that&#8217;s for sure.And many topics and many things you need to learn. But I think it&#8217;ll give you the basics to start with and it will accept any, any students from different backgrounds. We have from stats, good mystery to business, to even a healthcare. So good deal. Yeah. Okay. So let&#8217;s change gears and talk a little bit about the event that&#8217;s coming up cause that&#8217;s really what we&#8217;re here to discuss today. So why don&#8217;t you tell us what is the event and when&#8217;s it happening and we&#8217;ll go from there. Let&#8217;s start. What is open data. So open data is the government data that&#8217;s available for you for free. To give you a basic example, now everybody is using GPS. GPS is started as an open data where the system, the whole system started to be open for public after, um, after it started with the military then now everybody uses it.So similarly, now government are publishing their data about all of all operations. You can think about it from um, inspection, earth renters inspections where Yelp is using that data to tell you this, this place is nice or it&#8217;s, this place is clean and this is the rating for the inspection for this base. This is all open. If you&#8217;re using even Google maps &#8230;]]></description>

You can think about it from um, inspection, earth renters inspections where Yelp is using that data to tell you this, this place is nice or it&#8217;s, this place is clean and this is the rating for the inspection for this base. This is all open. If you&#8217;re using even Google maps &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Welcome to UNT Unplugged. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis, and I am here with, he&#8217;s just got one name, like Prince. We&#8217;re going to call him Habib. Welcome to the show Habib. Thanks for joining us today. We&#8217;re going to talk a little bit about what you do with UNT in an event that you have coming up today. Sure. Um, I teach advanced analytics and advanced analytics program at UNT Frisco and I&#8217;m here for the Open Data Day or DFW Open Data Day today we are hosting in a couple of weeks. Awesome. So we&#8217;re going to talk about that in just a minute, but I want to start a little bit, uh, just by way of what you do at UNT and that. So you&#8217;re an associate professor. I&#8217;m an assistant professor, assistant professor, yes. And you teach, uh, advanced data and analytics. So I teach a, a bit of stats and a bit of data visualization and some, some basic codings here and there, big data, uh, infrastructure and that engineering. Very cool. So my wife is actually taking your class right now. Um, and I would not define her as a quantitative type of a quote unquote quants necessarily. But she&#8217;s getting a lot out of it and I think she&#8217;s enjoying it. I&#8217;ll be maybe a little bit of frustration at times, but, uh, fortunately she&#8217;s got a technology person there to help her out once in a while. She mentioned to you my anytime I do try to keep her sane with that respect. But no, it&#8217;s, it sounds like an interesting course and it&#8217;s definitely the kind of thing that I would be interested in taking. So if somebody is interested in learning more about data science in general and they&#8217;re interested in this master&#8217;s course at UNT, what do they have to look forward to? What are they going to learn while they&#8217;re there? Um, so far as the fall, they, um, this program is a master program. Uh, you need to have a bachelor degree to apply to it. Um, it&#8217;s a very flexible, open type of program where it&#8217;s mainly geared toward practitioners, so people who are working full time, um, and we teach multiple topics or you will get introduced to many areas within that eScience. And then you will take it from there to develop yourself further and maybe get that internship board world. Can I industry in that area. So if you ever changing careers or if you are interested in just learning about this area within it or within a computer science, uh, this is your place. Um, again, this program is meant to be for practitioners, so not that much requirements or different courses to prerequisite. We go through the basic details for each of the single course. Most of the courses are hybrid and in a eight week type of courses.Uh, so it&#8217;s a bit condensed, but it&#8217;s to the point. And to give you, um, the headstart with any of the topics we have. I think it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s cool that you guys have this at UNT because, um, in, in the, in, in all of the different companies I&#8217;ve worked with, data science and data scientists are becoming a pretty hot commodity right now. People that can figure out how to get their arms wrapped around all the big data that&#8217;s being pr]]></itunes:summary>

What is your favorite sport to watch as a spectator of football? Football. And what&#8217;s your favorite sport to participate in? I would say a triathlon. Okay. Now what&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to participate in sports or to watch sports? The other side of the world? Yeah. Japan. Ah, Japan. Yeah. And I know you&#8217;ve probably traveled, um, personally as well. That doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with sports, so we can talk about that as well. So let&#8217;s get a little bit of background information from you. Um, I mentioned you&#8217;re an endurance athlete and um, you&#8217;re an endurance athlete for charity. I don&#8217;t even know if I said that important piece and we&#8217;ll learn a little bit about that. But tell me how you, how and when in your life you began in this endurance sport. Sure. Uh, in the prior to, well, it all started back then. I was an athlete in high school. Why? I swam on the, on the high school team. I swam collegiately and I was a lifeguard, uh, on the New Jersey shore. Not one by the pool, but one actually on the seashore. Best job in the world cause you got paid to do something that was, to me it was just like was like play serious jobs. But a lot of times it was, it was playing. Um, and then, uh, then I became an officer in the army. So I had to, and I was in the type of unit where I had to stay athletically, fit there the entire time. And when I departed the army and started working a corporate desk job for 15 years, I led a sedentary lifestyle and I gained to wear 50 pounds or so. And then, um, and I would go to the gym and [inaudible] for maybe a week or two. And I was so motivated to go, but it didn&#8217;t really stick. And then, um, in, uh, 2004, uh, one day I couldn&#8217;t fit into my blue jeans and winter had common. Now it&#8217;s spring and I couldn&#8217;t fit in my blue jeans and I was trying to suck it into a button up a pair of scientists, 44 pair of size of parasites, 40 fours and, and I, and it was just my, kind of my epiphany at that, uh, at that moment. Well, right then about that time, it was also the, um, this low carb, high protein diets were becoming more and more popular, the zone diet, South beach and such. And they kind of interested me and I started, uh, you DD eating in that way. And then the third piece came along and that is ice.

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee league to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. So one of my favorite things about this podcast is talking to pro athletes to learn about their path. I like to rewind and think of how they were and what they were up to as kids. So now I&#8217;m flipping the script today and we&#8217;re getting into the heads and hearts of some youth athletes. So welcome to our youngest guests so far, Reganne Morris, Chris Bush and Reese Walker. Okay. So let&#8217;s do a couple of quick hits to sort of get to know each of you a little bit better. So Reganne, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Um, I would probably say my favorite athlete is Megan Rapino from the women&#8217;s national team. She just has a lot of, she works really hard and does a lot for that team. Yeah. What about you Chris? Um, mine&#8217;s definitely Jamie Benn cause I grew up loving hockey and just watching him on, on ice. It&#8217;s pretty fun. Reese. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? My favorite athlete is Gabby Douglas because she&#8217;s very inspirational. We&#8217;re going to talk about the different sports that you play, but if you can pick one of your favorite sports to play yourself, what is it? Chris? Probably football. Okay. Soccer for sure. For Reagan. Lacrosse. Lacrosse for Reese. Okay. So just so you guys know on this show, I talk a lot about multi-sport athletes and I think it&#8217;s important, um, super important for athletes as they&#8217;re growing up to play different sports and not just focus on one. So I want you guys to tell me what sports each of you have played kind of over the years and what you&#8217;re playing now. Reganne, you want to go first? Uh, okay. So I&#8217;ve played a lot of things. I&#8217;ve done basketball, volleyball, soccer, um, I&#8217;ve done a lot of different things. But um, as of right now, soccer is definitely my main sport. And then I further school I play basketball and um, volleyball. And then last year I did track and um, I did some cross country too. Okay. What about you, Chris? Um, I also grew up playing a lot of sports, football, hockey, baseball, basketball, you know. And right now I&#8217;m definitely focusing on football in the football season just ended. So I&#8217;m now playing basketball at the moment. Um, I&#8217;ve, I mean I&#8217;ve played soccer and volleyball and basketball and for school I, Oh and I play lacrosse out of school, but I played volleyball for school and basketball for school and I&#8217;ve been running cross country and yeah. So I should have also said that you guys are currently in eighth grade, so your middle school kiddos at Pearson Middle School. So that&#8217;s um, you guys keep saying school sports and then outside of school. So I want to talk about that a little bit. Do all of, I know Reese and Reagan play school, non-school sports too. And I know you, you have in the past, Chris, like on different clubs and I&#8217;m out of school sports, so I want to know like what, like Reagan specifically. Um, cause you&#8217;re a competitive soccer player. Right? So what&#8217;s the biggest differences that you noticed between your school sport and your club sport? Um, I would just say with the club sport, it&#8217;s a lot of people who have, um, especially at this age realize that that&#8217;s the sport that they really want to pursue. And that&#8217;s the sport that they really want to continue playing. And so it&#8217;s more competitive and it&#8217;s um, more concentrated and super focused on that one sport compared to a bunch of different sports. And um, as to when you&#8217;re at school you can play almost all sports and without knowing exactly what you want to do for sure in the future. And so I would say that&#8217;s probably the biggest difference between them. So you can kind of try out. I feel like school sports, you&#8217;re trying out that sport maybe for the first time in his track in a sport like track or something. What is your favorite thing, Chris, about playing sports for school? My favorite thing, so like I played when I played high school, I played with like a bunch of kids who I didn&#8217;t know to start off with. But when you play in school, you know, you grow up with those people, you see them every single day throughout the school year. So when you finally get to go together and play on a team, you know, it&#8217;s pretty cool to see like all the chemistry that you might have. They don&#8217;t realize just how fun it is &#8230;]]></description>

So now I&#8217;m flipping the script today and we&#8217;re getting into the heads and hearts of some youth athletes. So welcome to our youngest guests so far, Reganne Morris, Chris Bush and Reese Walker. Okay. So let&#8217;s do a couple of quick hits to sort of get to know each of you a little bit better. So Reganne, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? Um, I would probably say my favorite athlete is Megan Rapino from the women&#8217;s national team. She just has a lot of, she works really hard and does a lot for that team. Yeah. What about you Chris? Um, mine&#8217;s definitely Jamie Benn cause I grew up loving hockey and just watching him on, on ice. It&#8217;s pretty fun. Reese. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? My favorite athlete is Gabby Douglas because she&#8217;s very inspirational. We&#8217;re going to talk about the different sports that you play, but if you can pick one of your favorite sports to play yourself, what is it? Chris? Probably football. Okay. Soccer for sure. For Reagan. Lacrosse. Lacrosse for Reese. Okay.

Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And in this episode we are joined by Dr. Sean Hill. Dr. Hill, welcome to the show. Sir. Thanks so much. As always. Glad to have you here. And we&#8217;re going to talk about all kinds of fun doctory things today. It&#8217;s you are a plastic surgeon if you prefer a cosmetic surgeon or does it really matter? Oh, it does matter actually. Yeah, that&#8217;s what I mean. I&#8217;ll jump into that topic since you led me into that one. So, uh, I am a plastic surgeon. I also do cosmetic surgery, but I&#8217;m not a cosmetic surgeon. And the question you may ask then is, well, what is the difference between plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon and why would I have maybe taken offense to that? Well, so, uh, plastic surgeons, um, are trained in a full plastic surgery residency and then a will then they will be boarded by the governing body, the American board of medical specialties, which is a body that does board certification. Okay. And so that as part of that you have to do a board exam and then do continuing medical education throughout your entire lifetime. A cosmetic surgeon is anyone that&#8217;s completed some medical residency, whether that is emergency medicine, family medicine, OB, GYN, internal medicine or anything. And then they do a short, maybe six month or one year fellowship in cosmetic surgery surgery. And lo and behold, there are cosmetic surgeon out there hanging a shingle and doing scary things like breast augs and whatnot. Okay. That is, first of all, let me dive back in here for a minute. That&#8217;s great information because I never knew there was actually a difference. I always just assume those two things were synonymous. So that&#8217;s really good to know if somebody is looking for someone to do a procedure or maybe has needs a procedure of some kind. Um, it sounds to me, and I don&#8217;t want to offend anyone else, but it sounds to me like what I&#8217;m looking for is a plastic surgeon.Ideally. Yeah. I mean as, as we always tell people, do your homework. I mean, obviously, you know, cosmetic medicine and aesthetic medicine is a very lucrative thing. So it, you know, and when, when there is revenue in something, everyone wants to be doing it. So thus if you&#8217;re going, even if you&#8217;re going in for something as simple as simple, seemingly simple as Botox or fillers, you should do your homework because, you know, I mean, I don&#8217;t just let anyone with a pair of scissors cut my hair. Um, I want someone that&#8217;s actually been trained to cut hair to cut my hair and that&#8217;s just my hair, which will grow back and well, I mean for me, Oh, a long time. But for the most, for average people, three weeks. Yeah. Okay. So that makes a lot of sense. I&#8217;m thank you for clarifying that for us. Now that we understand. So you are a plastic surgeon and your practice is called Lone Star Plastic Surgery? Yes, sir. A plastic surgeon. The plaque, the practices here in Frisco called Lone Star Plastic Surgery. I have done way too much training to be injecting poison in people&#8217;s faces. I&#8217;m, I, uh, I&#8217;m from Illinois, originally. Did, um, general sir, I&#8217;m sorry. I did med school in the full general surgery residency there. And then I moved down to DFW to train at Parkland and UT Southwestern, uh, in plastic surgery, which is renowned as the top training program in the entire world actually. Um, and then did an extra year fellowship down in Austin, Texas doing cranial facial plastic surgery as well. So nine years of postgraduate training and three fellowships and boy am I exhausted. Wow. Yeah. You&#8217;ve been in school for a long time. We&#8217;re training of some sort for a long time. Yeah, I know some, some, yeah. Longer than some people have been alive. They&#8217;re probably listening to this. So, um, when, when did you start your practice here in Frisco? Oh, we&#8217;ve been open for about a year and a half now. Um, and, uh, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s been an adventure, you know, we&#8217;ve seen growth every month as you can imagine, but it&#8217;s been, it&#8217;s kinda been fun getting to know everybody in town and then building up the, the Lone Star family. Very good. Are there particular things that you specialize in? Besides being awesome? Um, I, you know, I, I&#8217;ve done, like I said, I&#8217;ve done all of that training. So ultimately where I want the practice to grow as to, you know, be doing facial aesthetics. So facelift eyelids, a rhinoplasty especially. Um, but being an in Frisco, kind of the, the largest segment of the population here is probably the 35, 30 to 50 year old young family. And so up until &#8230;]]></description>

Well, so, uh, plastic surgeons, um, are trained in a full plastic surgery residency and then a will then they will be boarded by the governing body, the American board of medical specialties, which is a body that does board certification. Okay. And so that as part of that you have to do a board exam and then do continuing medical education throughout your entire lifetime. A cosmetic surgeon is anyone that&#8217;s completed some medical residency, whether that is emergency medicine, family medicine, OB, GYN, internal medicine or anything. And then they do a short, maybe six month or one year fellowship in cosmetic surgery surgery. And lo and behold, there are cosmetic surgeon out there hanging a shingle and doing scary things like breast augs and whatnot. Okay. That is, first of all, let me dive back in here for a minute. That&#8217;s great information because I never knew there was actually a difference. I always just assume those two things were synonymous. So that&#8217;s really good to know if somebody is looking for someone to do a procedure or maybe has needs a procedure of some kind. Um, it sounds to me, and I don&#8217;t want to offend anyone else, but it sounds to me like what I&#8217;m looking for is a plastic surgeon.Ideally. Yeah. I mean as, as we always tell people, do your homework. I mean, obviously, you know, cosmetic medicine and aesthetic medicine is a very lucrative thing. So it, you know, and when, when there is revenue in something, everyone wants to be doing it. So thus if you&#8217;re going, even if you&#8217;re going in for something as simple as simple, seemingly simple as Botox or fillers, you should do your homework because, you know, I mean, I don&#8217;t just let anyone with a pair of scissors cut my hair. Um, I want someone that&#8217;s actually been trained to cut hair to cut my hair and that&#8217;s just my hair, which will grow back and well, I mean for me, Oh, a long time. But for the most, for average people, three weeks. Yeah. Okay. So that makes a lot of sense. I&#8217;m thank you for clarifying that for us. Now that we under]]></itunes:summary>

So before we jump into some of this Frisco college baseball that we&#8217;re going to talk about, I want to know a little bit about you personally with some of these quick hits that we do off the top. So, okay. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Favorite athlete? Current or all time? All time. Who? Probably Dizzy Dean. Who was a pitcher for the Cardinals? I don&#8217;t know. Dizzy Dean, a pitcher for the Cardinals in the 50s from a small town called Darnell, Arkansas. And I grew up small town, Arkansas, so I kind of can relate. Awesome. Dizzy Dean, dizzy Dean. That&#8217;s a great name. It is. What is your favorite sport? Favorite sport is baseball by far. Okay,quick answer. So do you have any sports superstitions from maybe when you were an athlete or favorite superstitions that you&#8217;ve seen? Athletes by far, it is not stepping on the chalk and baseball and every time I see a pitcher walking into the mountain and he steps on the chalk, it just breaks my heart dead to you. Very disappointing. It&#8217;s pretty much inevitable he&#8217;s going to have a bad ending. Oh, it&#8217;s a curse. It is a curse. The sacred chalk lines. High school baseball. If we got caught doing warmups stepping on the chalk, we would, we would get benched. Wow. It&#8217;s a big deal. Take it. Yeah. Take it seriously. I like watching them chalk the field. Yeah. I don&#8217;t know why it&#8217;s satisfying to watch. Just to watch the planes go down. It&#8217;s gotta be the real chocolate. I can&#8217;t be the paint. Why? I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing. But like the actual chocolate, you see it fall out, whereas the paint you&#8217;re spraying out. I think it&#8217;s the chalk, so, so maybe we&#8217;re like, we get to the Rough Riders before the games and sometimes if we&#8217;re there really early watching from the club eating, um, I&#8217;m just like fixated watching them, especially the area on the batter&#8217;s box. When they do the frame, they put the frame down and then chalk it and then measure it and like, it&#8217;s great. They actually, they do, do, use the real stuff. Right. Good. Good. I didn&#8217;t want to call out the Rough Riders. Okay. Let&#8217;s dive into a little bit of this D one baseball talk that I mentioned and the tournament that&#8217;s coming up where we can all catch a weekend of great baseball here in Frisco. So tell me who will we see? Uh, February 28, 29th and March 1st here in Frisco This year we are bringing an A&#38;M back for the second time. So Texas state and it will be here.

Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And this episode we are joined by Jason Taylor from Code Authority and Jason is the president and founder of Code Authority. You started that about 18 years ago. Welcome to the show. Glad to have you here today. Thank you Scott. And we&#8217;re going to talk about Code Authority a little bit, but we&#8217;re going to start off with Give for Frisco and you guys, Code Authority is the sponsor of Give for Frisco this year. Decided to get involved in stuff behind it, Give for Frisco&#8217;s something we&#8217;re hugely, hugely passionate about. Um, but what made you want to get involved in and sponsor the Give for Frisco initiative? Well, um, like you mentioned, I did start Code Authority, um, 18 years ago and um, you know, that&#8217;s a technology services business, um, software development, digital marketing. Um, but also 10 years ago I was asked to help get a charity started. And so a close friend of mine asked me to help him, um, everything from legal to forming a board to forming bylaws and try to get the structure going to create a charity that was designed to help men, um, in a way that we hadn&#8217;t seen that had been done before. Um, so, um, my last 10 years of, of that effort, which has been all volunteer effort, I&#8217;ve learned and surprised to learn that was much more difficult to get a successful charity off the ground that was able to raise money and then distribute money, then, uh, it never was to get a traditional fee for service business off the ground and running healthily. So, um, when I found out about this, I thought, well, I can, uh, I know there&#8217;s other small charities here in Frisco that are run by people out of their homes from the passion of their heart and, uh, you know, their desire to help and in some cause it&#8217;s important to them. And so I thought, well, I want to support, you know, bringing light to those charities as well as mankind, um, as much as I can. Okay. Talk a little bit about Mankind, especially for those that are not familiar with, with that organization. What does Mankind do? Um, Mankind was created to help men who are facing a health crisis. So it&#8217;s a, a, a needs based giving, a model where we basically are essentially helping people that are economically challenged and at the same time they&#8217;re facing a tremendous uphill battle in some sort of medical crisis. So, um, specifically men, cause we felt like men are less likely to ask for help. Um, when they get in trouble, they usually take an inverse approach. Uh, they, they keep to themselves. Um, and that is they also tend to not take medical news as serious. They try to, they&#8217;re, they&#8217;re more likely to be in denial for a long time and even avoid medical care to avoid finding out something that they&#8217;re afraid might be true. And so oftentimes men finally get face to face with something when it&#8217;s taken too long for them to get to that point.And they could have been more proactive. So we try to encourage men to break those kind of patterns of behavior. Um, and then we also get directly involved with financial support for families, uh, of men that are facing some kind of health crisis. So if, and I completely agree and believe you, when you say that man, we tend to put things off or live in a state of denial about something or not want to get the bad news, but how do you get connected with the men that need your service if they&#8217;re not actively looking for it? Well, that was one of the challenges that we found right off the bat that was very difficult. Um, but in the most recent a few years, we&#8217;ve made a lot of progress in the area by introducing ourselves and our cause to case caseworkers at institutions that are helping people like this. So, um, cancer treatment centers, um, other charities that are designed to help people in need that will encounter, uh, men like the ones that we&#8217;re looking for, we&#8217;ll bring them to us and say, Hey, you should talk to these mankind people. And so, um, we have a nice funnel of potential beneficiaries coming at us pretty often. Okay, well that&#8217;s good to know. And it sounds like a great organization. Is that based here in Frisco or is it nearby? So a, it&#8217;s a collection of volunteer board members. Um, I would say about half of us actually live in Frisco proper. The founder has moved a few times since he started it and now he lives in Murphy. Um, and then a couple of other guys are from here and there around North Texas and it&#8217;s mostly Collin County. And, um, the people that we help are from all over North Texas.So we&#8217;ve helped people better, um, actually outside of DFW proper. But somewhere in our North Texas, our community. And um, yeah, like this last year, &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And this episode we are joined by Jason Taylor from Code Authority and Jason is the president and founder of Code Authority. You started that about 18 years ago. Welcome to the show. Glad to have you here today. Thank you Scott. And we&#8217;re going to talk about Code Authority a little bit, but we&#8217;re going to start off with Give for Frisco and you guys, Code Authority is the sponsor of Give for Frisco this year. Decided to get involved in stuff behind it, Give for Frisco&#8217;s something we&#8217;re hugely, hugely passionate about. Um, but what made you want to get involved in and sponsor the Give for Frisco initiative? Well, um, like you mentioned, I did start Code Authority, um, 18 years ago and um, you know, that&#8217;s a technology services business, um, software development, digital marketing. Um, but also 10 years ago I was asked to help get a charity started. And so a close friend of mine asked me to help him, um, everything from legal to forming a board to forming bylaws and try to get the structure going to create a charity that was designed to help men, um, in a way that we hadn&#8217;t seen that had been done before. Um, so, um, my last 10 years of, of that effort, which has been all volunteer effort, I&#8217;ve learned and surprised to learn that was much more difficult to get a successful charity off the ground that was able to raise money and then distribute money, then, uh, it never was to get a traditional fee for service business off the ground and running healthily. So, um, when I found out about this, I thought, well, I can, uh, I know there&#8217;s other small charities here in Frisco that are run by people out of their homes from the passion of their heart and, uh, you know, their desire to help and in some cause it&#8217;s important to them. And so I thought, well, I want to support, you know, bringing light to those charities as well as mankind, um, as much as I can. Okay. Talk a little bit about Mankind, especially for those that are not familiar with, with that organization. What does Mankind do? Um, Mankind was created to help men who are facing a health crisis. So it&#8217;s a, a, a needs based giving, a model where we basically are essentially helping people that are economically challenged and at the same time they&#8217;re facing a tremendous uphill battle in some sort of medical crisis. So, um, specifically men, cause we felt like men are less likely to ask for help. Um, when they get in trouble, they usually take an inverse approach. Uh, they, they keep to themselves. Um, and that is they also tend to not take medical news as serious. They try to, they&#8217;re, they&#8217;re more likely to be in denial for a long time and even avoid medical care to avoid finding out something that they&#8217;re afraid might be true. And so oftentimes men finally get face to face with something when it&#8217;s taken too long for them to get to that point.And they could have been more proactive. So we try to encourage men to break those kind of patterns of behavior. Um, and then we also get directly involved with financial support for families, uh, of men that are facing some kind of health crisis. So if, and I completely agree and believe you, when you say that man, we tend to put things off or live in a state of denial about something or not want to get the bad news, but how do you get connected with the men that need your service if they&#8217;re not actively looking for it? Well, that was one of the challenges that we found right off the bat that was very difficult. Um, but in the most recent a few years, we&#8217;ve made a lot of progress in the area by introducing ourselves and our cause to case caseworkers at institutions that are helping people like this. So, um, cancer treatment centers, um, other charities that are designed to help people in need that will encounter, uh, men like the ones that we&#8217;re looking for, we&#8217;ll bring them to us and say, Hey, you should talk to these mankind people. And so, um, we have a nice funnel of potential beneficiaries coming at us pretty often. Okay, well that&#8217;s good to know. And it sounds like a great organization.

Isaiah Rojas loves sports, and you can hear it when he talks about playing sports as a child in California, as a way to have an identity. It&#8217;s evident that he has taken this passion to preserve and respect sports into his work life. Isaiah played college baseball, went to school to be a PE teacher, pivoted into sports management, worked for our rival MLS team, the LA Galaxy, and even ran Parks and Rec for an Indian reservation. He landed a job working for i9 Sports and fell in love with the alignment of his passion and the opportunity to impact young athletes. Isaiah says, &#8220;Sports can change a kid&#8217;s life.&#8221; And, that&#8217;s what i9 excels in as a recreational league &#8211; fostering good sportsmanship and fun. One practice per week allows families to experience a sports season without taking over their schedules. Sometimes it means shifting our results-oriented way of thinking as parents.

So Isaiah Rojas, thank you for joining me and welcome to Hustle and Pro,. Thank you for having me. I&#8217;ve got a couple of quick hit questions. First to sort of get to know you and your personal sports interests. So who&#8217;s your all time favorite athlete? All time. Favorite athlete. Ken Griffey jr. Oh, love him. Yes. Consistency, right? Yes. Uh, what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play personally? Baseball goes along with the Ken Griffey jr there. Um, is that your favorite sport to watch also? Yes. Okay. Yeah. So this is a new cricket question. You&#8217;re my first guest that I&#8217;m asking this too. What&#8217;s your favorite or some of your favorite sports movies? Ooh, I love sports movies. I mean, my favorite sports movie of all time is field of dreams. I love field of dreams. I love the Sandlot. I mean obviously baseball, but so, uh, those two are, are great. Remember the Titans is a great one. So I would say those three are definitely my, my top I love field of dreams. I&#8217;ve tried to get my kids into it and they don&#8217;t get into it as much as I want them to. My little four year old to wash a Sandlot and he gets a little scared of the beast. Yeah. Yeah. It&#8217;s intimidating, but it&#8217;s, so those are such great movies. Yes. Um, another, you know, baseball ish movie. I&#8217;m a league of their own, one of my personal favorites.

But I want you to kind of rewind and tell me, you know, how you got to this point. So what was it like for young Isaiah? Um, what&#8217;s did sports look like for you as a kid? So, uh, I grew up in a very small town in Hollister, California. Um, and I went to a very small school in that town, so there was only about a hundred kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. So it was a very, uh, very different demographic there. It was a, a large part of the community was a Hispanic that worked in the farms, worked in the orchards, and a large part of the community was the people that own those farms and orchards and lived kind of in the estates up in the Hills. So, um, as a young kid I was, uh, you know, able to participate in all the sports were at the school and played in little league sports, you know, throughout. But, um, sports for me was a way to have an identity. I wasn&#8217;t, um, it kind of gave me an essence of pride. It gave me a way to, um, kind of separate myself a little bit to kind of have my own little identity there outside of sports. So I played recreational, I played for the school, I played competitively. Um, I played any sport that I can, um, baseball, flag football, soccer, basketball, anything that I &#8230;]]></description>

Isaiah Rojas loves sports, and you can hear it when he talks about playing sports as a child in California, as a way to have an identity. It&#8217;s evident that he has taken this passion to preserve and respect sports into his work life. Isaiah played college baseball, went to school to be a PE teacher, pivoted into sports management, worked for our rival MLS team, the LA Galaxy, and even ran Parks and Rec for an Indian reservation. He landed a job working for i9 Sports and fell in love with the alignment of his passion and the opportunity to impact young athletes. Isaiah says, &#8220;Sports can change a kid&#8217;s life.&#8221; And, that&#8217;s what i9 excels in as a recreational league &#8211; fostering good sportsmanship and fun.

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers, and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here’s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to hustle and pro. Today we are back talking soccer. Couldn&#8217;t let too long go by without talking about soccer. So we have Eric Quill with us today. So nine seasons in the MLS. Then as a coach, he&#8217;s led his teams to national titles and most recently a league title with Frisco&#8217;s own North Texas soccer club. Welcome, Eric. Thank you. Thanks for having me. I&#8217;m excited to get to know you. Yes. So I do have some quick hits just to, to know a little bit about your sports personality. Who would you say is your favorite athlete? Just all time. Well, I think as a kid, if you asked me that question 15 years ago with Michael Jordan, um, if you asked me that question today, um, I probably lean more on the soccer side. Um, I&#8217;m a big Messi fan, so it&#8217;s changes as the generations of time go. Sure. Those are, those are two good ones though. That probably won&#8217;t change a whole bunch more. What about, do you have a favorite team? Uh, Barcelona has always been one of my favorites. Um, English premier league has always been arsenal, so, but I&#8217;m a big follower of Barcelona, just like the way they play. What&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to either play as a player or coach or watch sports even? Uh, as a player? Probably South Africa with um, Kansas City Wizards and a preseason, uh, as a coach I went to Australia once to recruit a player. So it was, uh, both long flights, which I definitely remember not being fun. So I want to know about your background, um, this, this might help answer it. Um, what sports did you play growing up and what was your favorite to play? Whew, that was a multi, multi sport athlete. My parents put me in everything and I did, I loved them all. So started with golf really early on. Um, played baseball from, you know, [inaudible] all the way through my junior year of high school. Played basketball from five to senior year of high school. Um, always played golf on the side. Never, never for the school, but just always loved the sport. And uh, of course soccer. Um, so those four. Where were you growing up that you could play all those sports for your high school? I grew up in Houston, suburb of Houston, so we had this unique childhood where, um, we had about seven really unbelievable athletes that grew up together and lived really around the corner from each other. So every day was spent it talked about the 10,000 hours of practice. Um, we, we definitely hit 10,000 at a very early age with how much we played after school and every day played everything, everything, every sport under the sun. Um, we had this perfect little small field in between two houses. There was not, you know, developed. So we used as our own yours. Yeah, your Sandlot kids met there and it was just a, it was a lot of fun. Looking back on it now, I think that it had a large part to do with my development as a, as an overall athlete Playing all those different sports you mean? Yup. And obviously that much time. But I think, I think playing different sports throughout the year is huge. Um, when athletes focus one too early on one, I do think it does more harm than good. Usually kind of backfires on you. Any of those seven or nine, however many friends you said, anybody we know? Maybe Kip Wells play pitch and major league baseball for maybe 11 years. Wow. Um, others may, you know, made it to the AAA, uh, couple of, uh, NFL players and uh, Really? So out of how many, seven 70 said nine, whatever. It&#8217;s probably some pretty good odds. Yeah, no, it was a, you didn&#8217;t get out of high school was very, very good. And what high school was that? Elkins high school out of Missouri City. So they want to spin state baseball championship actually too. Um, James Loney came out of their Dodgers first base. Um, so we had a, we had a lot of baseball players come out of there. That&#8217;s a serious Sandlot group there. That&#8217;s pretty great. Okay. So I read that, um, at University of Houston, um, is where you, is that where you got your undergrad or your degree from there and then you &#8230;]]></description>

On this episode of UNT unplugged, we&#8217;re going to sit down with a couple of the UNT cohort program students, Rebecca Irizarry and Joanna Desu Dawson, and they&#8217;re going to give us the inside scoop on what they&#8217;re going through, what they&#8217;re learning and how the cohort program is impacting them. If you or maybe your child is interested in the cohort program, you&#8217;ll definitely want to tune in and give this one a listen, learn a little bit more about the program and how it is affecting these students personally. All right. I want to welcome both of you to this podcast. And first of all, why don&#8217;t we start with allowing you guys to introduce yourselves. Tell us your name and what year you are in the cohort program and what it is you guys are studying right now. My name is Rebecca Irizarry and I am a freshman of the Cohort Program. Okay. I&#8217;m Joanna Jesu Dawson and I&#8217;m a freshman at the Cohort Program. Okay, so you guys are both freshmen and does that mean you&#8217;re just got started this fall? Okay, so what are you studying? What is the the course or the project that you&#8217;re working on? Right. The project that we are focused on. So the program that we are in is an integrative program. So all of our classes including our core classes all relate to each other and are all focused around our main project. And right now we are working on discovering a route of public transportation for possible AI systems within the city of Frisco. That sounds complicated. Um, is that something that&#8217;s of personal interest to you guys? You find that interesting? Is that I definitely do. When I was interested, like when I was attracted to the program I was, they told us we&#8217;re going to be working in like project based learning, which is something that I learn the best with. So that&#8217;s what really attracted me to it. The topic itself interested me, but I had no experience with it. Fair enough. So tell us a little bit more about, let&#8217;s talk just generally about the cohort program, cohort program. It is project based learning. Um, but you guys are still taking all the regular classes and things too, right? We are. So the way it works is we have a, we&#8217;re taking English history, psychology and a couple of other classes that are related to the pro cohort itself. But everything we&#8217;re learning in the core classes, um, help relate to our pro uh, project. Okay. So how many, how many hours in a semester is that equal then? Do they still measure it that way? I mean that&#8217;s that when I was in college, that&#8217;s kind of how we were looking at it. I think it&#8217;s 1313 hours. Okay. Plus is that including the time that you spend what is solely 13 hours in the classroom. Okay. And then you&#8217;ve got hours on top of that to work on the actual project? Yes. So when we entered into the cohort program, we each got split into different groups. So as a whole year, five different groups and we each have to meet outside of the cohort in order to work together and meet together and get our, basically our thoughts planned out and what we&#8217;re doing. Cause we each, basically our end goal by the end of this semester is to have each of us individually as a group present to the city of Frisco. Okay. So who are you guys working with on this project? Who&#8217;s the, the business partner? The city of Frisco would be, it is the city of Frisco specifically. Okay. So you guys are, if I understand correctly, you guys are going to help us figure out the best paths for AI driven vehicles to take within the city. Is that the goal? Yes sir. Yes. That&#8217;s pretty interesting. And it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s definitely something I think the citizens of Frisco would love to hear more about. There&#8217;s been a lot of, well there&#8217;s always a lot of talk about how much traffic is infrast go and the people keep moving here and the traffic keeps getting worse. So hopefully these will be, uh, you guys will help us, uh, maybe solve a part of that problem. Definitely. That was one of the main we had for our psychology course. We had to conduct a survey to find out people&#8217;s thoughts about the transportation within Frisco. Tell us about that then. Yes. And of course, as you can imagine, what most people said, Oh, it&#8217;s awful. There&#8217;s traffic all the time. Most of the people that I interviewed personally, I don&#8217;t know about Joanna, um, came from outside of the city of Frisco. So they have to transport to Frisco, which means they get to deal with all of the traffic early in the morning, late at night when they&#8217;re getting off at work. So that was &#8230;]]></description>

Um, is that something that&#8217;s of personal interest to you guys? You find that interesting? Is that I definitely do. When I was interested, like when I was attracted to the program I was, they told us we&#8217;re going to be working in like project based learning, which is something that I learn the best with. So that&#8217;s what really attracted me to it. The topic itself interested me, but I had no experience with it. Fair enough. So tell us a little bit more about, let&#8217;s talk just generally about the cohort program, cohort program. It is project based learning. Um, but you guys are still taking all the regular classes and things too, right? We are. So the way it works is we have a, we&#8217;re taking English history, psychology and a couple of other classes that are related to the pro cohort itself. But everything we&#8217;re learning in the core classes, um, help relate to our pro uh, project. Okay. So how many, how many hours in a semester is that equal then? Do they still measure it that way? I mean that&#8217;s that when I was in college, that&#8217;s kind of how we were looking at it. I think it&#8217;s 1313 hours. Okay. Plus is that including the time that you spend what is solely 13 hours in the classroom. Okay. And then you&#8217;ve got hours on top of that to work on the actual project? Yes. So when we entered into the cohort program, we each got split into different groups. So as a whole year, five different groups and we each have to meet outside of the cohort in order to work together and meet together and get our, basically our thoughts planned out and what we&#8217;re doing. Cause we each, basically our end goal by the end of this semester is to have each of us individually as a group present to the city of Frisco. Okay. So who are you guys working with on this project? Who&#8217;s the, the business partner? The city of Frisco would be, it is the city of Frisco specifically. Okay. So you guys are, if I understand correctly, you guys are going to help us figure out the best paths for AI driven vehicles to take within the city. Is that the goal? Yes sir. Yes. That&#8217;s pretty interesting. And it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s definitely something I think the citizens of Frisco would love to hear more about. There&#8217;s been a lot of, well there&#8217;s always a lot of talk about how much traffic is infrast go and the people keep moving here and the traffic keeps getting worse. So hopefully these will be, uh, you guys will help us, uh, maybe solve a part of that problem. Definitely. That was one of the main we had for our psychology course. We had to conduct a survey to find out people&#8217;s thoughts about the transportation within Frisco. Tell us about that then. Yes. And of course, as you can imagine, what most people said, Oh, it&#8217;s awful. There&#8217;s traffic all the time. Most of the people that I interviewed personally, I don&#8217;t know about Joanna, um, came from outside of the city of Frisco. So they have to transport to Frisco, which means they get to deal with all of the traffic early in the morning, late at night when they&#8217;re getting off at work. So that was &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers, and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. You guys know I like getting athletes here on Hustle &#38; Pro, players from all of our pro sports teams here in Frisco especially. But in a weird way. I actually like having guests on like today who are the organizers, the front office and the people with all the real access to everything. So enter Al Whitley who has a particularly cool access to the pro basketball scene here in Dallas. Welcome Al. Thank you. Thanks for having me. I&#8217;m excited. Well, I&#8217;m excited too. We have Brandon May with us again because you know all things basketball, he&#8217;s here to help me out. The real expert. The real for sure. For sure. So I want to have a couple quick hits just to jump off with and then we&#8217;ll get into some questions for you. This is a simple one. Who&#8217;s your all time favorite athlete? Wayne Gretzky. Grew up in Canada, You know, if you&#8217;re growing up in Canada, you&#8217;re a hockey guy and just mesmerized by him, his creativity, uh, from an early age and just watch all those Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers. So he hands down was my favorite and a close second was Michael Jordan. Okay. Yeah. So when we talk about the farthest distance you&#8217;ve traveled for sports, how far have you traveled to either play sports if as an athlete, maybe yourself as a kid or now in your professional life? I think professionally, it was China with the Mavericks, you know, recently last year. We&#8217;ve been to Europe, we&#8217;ve, you know, kinda been all over the world, which is incredible, if you think about it, you get to travel the world, see different cultures and you know, you&#8217;re technically working. So it&#8217;s uh, yeah, China would be, that would be the farthest for sure. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll talk a little bit more about Mark Cuban, but what is your favorite Cuban moment or a memory? I think, um, you know, when we won the championship, just, uh, we had a, an embrace in a hug on the court and just the, the pure joy of, you know, accomplishing a goal that was set years and years ago. The amount of hard work, the things that have to go into it in order to reach the pinnacle, um, behind the scenes, uh, lots played out in public, so on and so forth, uh, was just magical. It really was. And I know how much he puts into it, how much he cares. He&#8217;s a, you know, he&#8217;s not just a face, he&#8217;s an owner that&#8217;s invested not just financially but all around. So to finally see that happen, um, was really, really special. Now that you&#8217;ve seen it happen, you also now how hard it is to recreate, right? Yeah. You know, just to go back in time a little bit, in 2006, you&#8217;re up to in the finals and I have a hard time talking about it too. And you know, you think, Oh wow, this is good. There&#8217;s nothing guaranteed. Right. And things didn&#8217;t work out. And then the next year we start off 0 and 4 and we&#8217;re like, wow. But then we go 67 and 11, we&#8217;re the number one seed. And we&#8217;re thinking, okay, we&#8217;re back. You know, this, I guess we can get back there every year. And it just doesn&#8217;t work that way. There&#8217;s just so much, there&#8217;s so much luck that&#8217;s involved making moves, team chemistry, whatever you have. There&#8217;s so many factors to get to that level that you really, really, really appreciate when you&#8217;re able to. And in 2011 we were um, when you get there, cause it&#8217;s, you know, nothing&#8217;s guaranteed in pro sports. Yeah. Going off script here, but do you think, um, winning a NBA championship or hockey NHL championship is tougher? I&#8217;ve always heard people say that they think hockey is the toughest series to win &#8230;]]></description>

We&#8217;re going to talk about who some of the current partner companies are and we&#8217;re also going to talk about the very interesting cohort program that&#8217;s a student learning program that UNT has gotten started that gives students some very hands on practical knowledge and experience in developing solutions to problems that exist today. So it&#8217;s a very business focused and very practical, uh, educational program that is a part of their normal learning with a few things added on. So super interesting stuff. And again, if you are in a business here in Frisco or the area and you want to learn how to work with UNT, tune in, we&#8217;re going to talk to Roxanne starting now. Roxanne, welcome to the show. Thank you for joining us today. Thank you for having me. Okay, so you are the assistant director of career services for the Frisco campus? That is correct. Okay. So what exactly does that mean? Oh my goodness. That means so much. Um, so when I first was out there, students were telling, um, our director or assistant vice president, that where&#8217;s career services? I need to find a job. I don&#8217;t have anybody to look over my resume. I need somebody to talk to about an internship. What are we doing with employers that are coming in through the front door saying, how can I get involved with UNT at Frisco? All of those things. It&#8217;s a big, huge umbrella. So when I was, when I was asked to go out there, one of the great things was this was all brand new, right? So it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re opening up a whole new career center. Even though I was still a part of the Denton career center. Um, this was me opening up like a whole career services office in this campus. So started meeting with students. I think the first semester I was there, I think I met with 25. The second semester I was there, I met with 175. So, um, and this is just, it all entails, you know, how it, how does a resume look? How are they engaging with employers? Are we able to bring career fairs and workshops and employers into the classroom to talk to students about what they have to offer? Um, it also entails internships on a daily basis. I probably talked to at least three to four companies a day, um, about our students paid internships, unpaid internships, full time jobs, part time jobs, co-ops. It&#8217;s, it&#8217;s across the gamut, right, of everything that you think about when you think about a career. Okay. So you are ultimately, if I could summarize that you are the person responsible for helping students get connected with businesses, whether that&#8217;s internships or jobs of one sort or another. That is correct. That&#8217;s gotta be kind of a fun position to be in though. You&#8217;re helping these, these students and these kids transition or bridge that gap from, you know, the academic world into what they&#8217;re going to be doing, you know, hopefully for a career, at least for awhile. It&#8217;s such a fun job. I just absolutely love it. Um, the kids skews me, the students, um, really like when they finally see something come to fruition. If I may, I would love to tell you about a student that I&#8217;ve been helping with for over a year. Um, he came into my office today, smiling ear to ear. Um, he had gotten an internship at internet of things America this past summer. And so he had started, uh, the start of the school year came in and said, okay, so what&#8217;s next? What do I do? Um, you know, how do I prepare my resume now after this internship asked him, are you going to the career fairs? Let&#8217;s look at your resume. Let&#8217;s talk about interviewing because you&#8217;re graduating in may. Came into my office today and he, uh, from going to the career fair in Denton, I told him to talk to Texas instruments because he&#8217;s a supply chain logistics major. He talked to Texas instruments and they just recently offered him a full time co-op position at, at TEI to then turn into a full time position once he graduate. Wow. Congratulations to him. That&#8217;s exactly, that makes my day. I mean that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m there for is to make sure that they&#8217;re making the right connections. They&#8217;re getting out there, they&#8217;re networking, they&#8217;re doing the things that they need to do so that once they know that graduation is just right around the corner, they&#8217;re walking across that stage with a huge smile because they&#8217;ve gotten a job and we&#8217;ve helped them do it. Yeah, that&#8217;s wonderful. And it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s great that they &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to today&#8217;s episode of hustle and pro. We&#8217;re talking football today with Jamar Landrom who played at Tennessee state and was a formal former NFL player. We&#8217;re going to talk a little bit about football and a little bit about life and what Jamar is up to lately. So welcome Jamar. Thanks for joining me. Welcome, welcome. I&#8217;m glad to be here. Okay, so we always jump into a few quick hits to sort of get to know your, your sports personality a little bit. So, okay, this is a big one, but who&#8217;s your favorite all time athlete? Favorite all time athlete is Kobe Bryant. So what&#8217;s your favorite sport then? Uh, to play? Oh, my favorite sport to play. No question. It&#8217;s football, football. But then what&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? Um, I would say it&#8217;s kind of leaning towards basketball more. I mean football for awhile it was a love hate relationship because I had to walk away, not on my own terms. Um, so for a while I stopped watching football, but I&#8217;m slowly back watching football. But I would say basketball has become one of my favorite sports to watch in my downtime. Now. Do you have a favorite all time team favorite all time team? In particular in a sport, no, I don&#8217;t know. I always had a tendency to uh, like individuals, you know, I get attracted to individual players because I see myself, um, in, in some of the players as far as relating to them as far as how they carry yourself and the way they attack the games they played and you know, and with the preparation. So I have a tendency to like players notnecessarily teams. But now, you know, two teams I root for in football is the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars, two teams. I was previously with. And then in basketball I like a Westbrook now. So you know, Houston is my squad also like LA Clippers cause I like Kawhi Leonard or I like individual players so I don&#8217;t have a particular team that I like. Okay. Growing up that where, where did you grow up? I grew up in Pontiac, Michigan, right outside Detroit. Outside of Detroit. So were you growing up like a pistons fan? No. No, no. So my childhood where I grew up, actually it was a San Francisco fan. I like San Francisco, um, for professional. I like, um, let&#8217;s see, uh, Miami, university of Miami for football and also like Duke for basketball. Okay. So you&#8217;re all over the place. I was exposed to sports earlier, so I think those are the teams that were good, you know, at the time. So I fell in love with those teams. So, yeah. What&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to play sports? Germany, you played in Europe, NFL Europe. So one other thing. What do you have any superstitions? So like game day superstitions, is that something you have to do to get your mind right or your body right for games? Yeah, so game day superstitions. What I did was before I went out or wherever I did, always ran to the opposite end zone and said a quick prayer. And I always was pointed up to the sky. I said, as this one is for you granddad, I lost my granddad at 14. He was, you know, very close to me. It was like a father figure to me in since then, you know, going through that adversity, I use that as motivation to propel me forward and be successful in life and also at our sports. So always dedicate everything I did to him, um, when they, when it came to football. Wow. Okay. Let&#8217;s talk a little bit more about you growing up in sports. Obviously when you hear, when I hear that you&#8217;re a former NFL player, I want to talk about that, but I want to know a little bit before that. Like what sports shaped you as an athlete besides football? I&#8217;m assuming hoping you played some other sports and so at what ages were you playing other things and what were you into? Yeah, well, the first sport I actually played was um, a T ball baseball because I was too young to &#8230;]]></description>

And then in basketball I like a Westbrook now. So you know, Houston is my squad also like LA Clippers cause I like Kawhi Leonard or I like individual players so I don&#8217;t have a particular team that I like. Okay. Growing up that where, where did you grow up? I grew up in Pontiac, Michigan, right outside Detroit. Outside of Detroit. So were you growing up like a pistons fan? No. No, no. So my childhood where I grew up, actually it was a San Francisco fan. I like San Francisco, um, for professional. I like, um, let&#8217;s see, uh, Miami, university of Miami for football and also like Duke for basketball. Okay. So you&#8217;re all over the place. I was exposed to sports earlier, so I think those are the teams that were good, you know, at the time. So I fell in love with those teams. So, yeah. What&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to play sports? Germany, you played in Europe, NFL Europe. So one other thing. What do you have any superstitions? So like game day superstitions, is that something you have to do to get your mind right or your body right for games? Yeah, so game day superstitions. What I did was before I went out or wherever I did, always ran to the opposite end zone and said a quick prayer. And I always was pointed up to the sky. I said, as this one is for you granddad, I lost my granddad at 14. He was, you know, very close to me. It was like a father figure to me in since then, you know, going through that adversity, I use that as motivation to propel me forward and be successful in life and also at our sports. So always dedicate everything I did to him, um, when they, when it came to football. Wow. Okay. Let&#8217;s talk a little bit more about you growing up in sports. Obviously when you hear, when I hear that you&#8217;re a former NFL player, I want to talk about that, but I want to know a little bit before that. Like what sports shaped you as an athlete besides football? I&#8217;m assuming hoping you played some other sports and so at what ages were you playing other things and what were you into? Yeah, well, the first sport I actually played was um, a T ball baseball because I was too young to &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I mean football for awhile it was a love hate relationship because I had to walk away, not on my own terms. Um, so for a while I stopped watching football, but I&#8217;m slowly back watching football. But I would say basketball has become one of my favorite sports to watch in my downtime. Now. Do you have a favorite all time team favorite all time team? In particular in a sport, no, I don&#8217;t know.

Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we are chatting with Dr. Trillion Small, who was the organizer of the upcoming TEDx Frisco. Dr. Small, welcome to the show. Thank you Scott for having me. It&#8217;s such a pleasure to be here. Great to have you on. We are looking forward to having our first TEDx and Frisco. But before we get into that, I want to, I want to learn a little bit more about you. What kind of a doctor are you? So I have a PhD in clinical counseling, so I&#8217;m passionate about all things. Mental, emotional wellness. Do you, do you have a, so, okay, so you&#8217;re in the, the mental health field. Do you have your own practice? Do you work inside of another practice? How does, what do you, how do you operate? I do, yes. So I&#8217;ve been working with clients individually for about eight years now. Um, I&#8217;m transitioning a little bit from just doing the one-on-one to working with, um, athletes who are working on their mental performance. I love also working with companies who just are passionate about helping their staff take their performance to the next level as well. And so I&#8217;m finding different ways to really take my psychology degree and really apply it to different areas now. That&#8217;s interesting. So usually when you talk to somebody about a mental health professional, you think about them treating things like depression or other mental health issues that that may come up. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever met anybody that focuses on the performance side aspect of mental health. What made you get, how did you get into that? That&#8217;s very, that&#8217;s interesting. Yes. So I do, I do work with those with anxiety and depression and PTSD. The majority of my clients have experienced trauma of some sort. So when I say trauma, trauma is very subjective. Trauma for one person can be, I witnessed domestic violence while trauma for someone can be, my father never showed up to my basketball games and that affected them right. In a negative way. And so I still, I work with those. Your, your typical mental health issues. But I, I realized that if we have anxiety and depression, it affects our performance as, as it does with athletes. If they&#8217;re, if they&#8217;re at the free throw line and they&#8217;re anxious, right? Their heart rate is increasing, their, their mind is all over the place that&#8217;s going to affect their performance. And so just being the creative that I am and loving to be diverse as possible, I said, in what ways can I expand myself and what ways can I take my knowledge and help as many people as possible? And I realized that it wasn&#8217;t just limited to people who were cutting themselves and they were suicidal. It literally is the top CEO who says, our company is doing well, but I have this roadblock and I have a difficult time overcoming it. How do I, and it&#8217;s really just working through cognitive distortions. It&#8217;s working through those, those mental barriers that we, we know that they&#8217;re there, but we don&#8217;t realize we can actually overcome them. And so that&#8217;s what I do. I love working with people, providing them with tools and techniques to really live a fulfilled life. And I don&#8217;t believe that we have to live a life that is bound by our insecurities. It&#8217;s just a matter of once you become aware of them, like, Hey, let&#8217;s become aware of them and now let&#8217;s do something about them. Very interesting. I can imagine that would take you into all kinds of fascinating places and meeting with a lot of interesting people. Soit has, it has, it has opened up so many different doors. I would have never thought, right? Like working with, uh, attorneys, right? They&#8217;re like one of the top, um, careers that are known for suicide, but, but we don&#8217;t think about it that way. We just think, Oh, these are top attorneys. But you don&#8217;t realize that the stress that they&#8217;re under. And so it&#8217;s just if you&#8217;re helping person, if you, if you&#8217;re a social person that loves social enterprise, if you will, you find a problem. That&#8217;s what I do. I love finding problems. Not because I like problems, but because I like solutions. So when I see a problem, I say, Ooh, this is an awesome opportunity to make an impact in this area. That&#8217;s interesting. The, uh, you know, I think for a lot of folks, and just for the sake of disclaimer on the podcast, um, I have a bachelor&#8217;s in psychology and I worked in a clinical environment for a couple of years. I am not the professional that you are and I know, pretend to be, although it is funny, as soon as you tell people you have a degree in psychology, the first thing they always want to know is if you&#8217;re summing up, even assessing everything they say. And no, I&#8217;m not, I&#8217;m not analyzing you, but yes I am. But no, no, I&#8217;m not. I&#8217;m curious how &#8230;]]></description>

Prod you a few other sweets and then all smart use of our savior Adam&#8217;s that have done really well here in Frisco. One of those you said is a, um, it&#8217;s a gluten free blueberry muffin that is a gluten free. It looks like pumpkin. Okay. So we have, we do one different, we do a different flavor and gluten free. Um, as we sell them, we do about six to 10 a day. Um, the gluten free muffins have sold really well and then just picking up steam cause they&#8217;re so good. If you don&#8217;t tell people they&#8217;re gluten free, they&#8217;ll eat it without even knowing it&#8217;s gluten free. You guys are so good form that recipe over several years and it does really well. So we change out that flavor, um, almost daily. Okay. Good to know. And then there was also a vegan zucchini bread, is that what that and zucchini bread. So it has no egg or dairy in it. Okay. So does really well. It has really good, it&#8217;s really good flavor. Very Nice. There are some good items you can add to vegan items to make it for the eggs. Okay. Well, it all smells and looks delicious, so I can&#8217;t wait to dig in a little bit, but I&#8217;m not going to be chewing it, you know, chewing and everybody&#8217;s here right now, so we&#8217;ll have to wait. But you guys, that&#8217;s something that you guys pay a lot of attention to, I&#8217;ve noticed over the years is you&#8217;re always refining and perfecting your recipes for different things. So kind of what does that process look like for you guys? How do you go about figuring out what things to either keep around or take the next step with? So menu mix wise, we do, we do have a menu mix, but as far as ingredients go, we&#8217;re always looking at ingredients and trying to make sure we keep the best ingredients and we make as many items and almost everything in house from scratch. So we know what we&#8217;re putting into everything. And we&#8217;re not 100% but most everything you have in our stores we make from scratch. Um, and by doing that, there&#8217;s five or six ingredients there. You can read the name of all of them. It just makes me feel good. And I prepare food at our stores the way I eat too. So, uh, my ended our stores all the time. And you&#8217;re still nice and lean. I still look fit. And Iceland lane, yes. Always say the coffee helps too. Coffee probably does help and, and I just have to give a plug for the chicken salad sandwich cause my wife is a fiend for chicken salad. She absolutely loves it. And yours is hands down her favorite. So yeah, it&#8217;s it, it does really well here. It&#8217;s been really picked up. Wells people are trying it. And then the San Marcus is one of our staples in San Marcus. Okay. So right now, um, what locations do you guys still have? We still have all four in San Marcus and then we have the one here in Frisco. We have five currently.

This episode we dive into that sinking feeling sports lovers get every now and then. In between seasons, when a player leaves our team, or leaves the sport, when we lose a meaningful game &#8211; it all adds up and it leaves us sad. It seeps into our everyday lives. We wake up with a grey sports cloud over our heads. We replay it all day. We listen to sports talk radio all day, which makes it better, like therapy, to talk it out. Sometimes talking it out helps, so hopefully this episode will do just that. Show Notes [:57] Rangers trading a player and losing a big series [4:08] Cowboys &#8211; high hopes or lower expectations? [5:40] Tech Basketball &#8211; NCAA Tournament finals compared to football season [8:04] Losing a Coach [10:23] Off season sadness [12:06] Parent sports sadness? Coaching? [14:26] Our own experiences as athletes Resources within this episode:  Kelly Walker: Instagram @kelly_walkertexas &#124;  Twitter: @kelly_walker_TX Connect with Lifestyle Frisco:  Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter LinkedIn Transcript: (machine-generated) This is Hustle and Pro with Kelly Walker. Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. I listen to sports talk a lot. So maybe I dwell too much sometimes about sports stuff, but this is real thing to me. But I get sports sad. I think when there&#8217;s a passion for something then there&#8217;s highs and there&#8217;s lows and sometimes those lows stay with you and bum you out for maybe a few days or maybe a few years. I don&#8217;t think this will make sense to everybody. I don&#8217;t think this will make sense to non-sports people. I think some non-sports people will think this is silly, but I um, so I brought my husband with me today, Ryan to talk with me since he gets this, we live in the same household and we talk a lot about sports together and when there is something going on that makes us sort of sports depressed, we uh, we feel it together. So, hi Ryan. Thanks for joining me. Thanks for having me. Okay. So my first kind of example of how to explain this is like with the Rangers. Um, there&#8217;s all kinds of things that can make me sad with sports. But like most recently, like when they trade away a player, so like, like Nomar Mazara was recently traded and Delino was gone. And I mean it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a bummer just for the player standpoint that maybe you&#8217;re gonna miss the actual talent on the field. But what bums me out sometimes even more than that is like the memories that you have of those people. So when I say those two names, I know you know about different memories, but like, like I yell silly things. I yell, nomargarciapara to embarrass our kids at roughriders games and stuff. And um, I just remember watching his major league debut and his great rookie season. And then with Delino, there&#8217;s just some funny history there too, so that just knowing that they&#8217;re not on the roster anymore makes me sad or I don&#8217;t know, a couple of days, a couple of weeks. I know you get over it because then somebody replacing them and then by middle of the next season you have all these other new household names and you&#8217;ve, you know, forget, but you&#8217;ve moved on from kind of missing the old guys, right? Well we grow up watching these guys so we see them coming in as teenagers and playing with the Frisco rough riders and then moving onto the Rangers. And then when we see him go, it&#8217;s just, it&#8217;s hard. And you know, kids have jerseys and they grew up watching them. Forgot about that. Your kids have their jerseys. We go through that a lot, like as close as we are to FC Dallas. Um, you know, you get attached to these players and then when they&#8217;re gone you, it makes me sad. I miss them, but I follow them all on social media so I can at least keep up with them. Like some of the FC Dallas players that we knew and they&#8217;ve moved on, they&#8217;ve moved on and gotten married and had kids. And so I still like feel like I at least get to kind of follow them, but I miss them. I wish they were still in our market, but also speaking of the Rangers, so that&#8217;s just kind of like a player example, but then what about when you lose a huge game? Like losing the world series when you&#8217;re as close as we were to winning the world series is not a couple of days bummed out water cooler talk like that&#8217;s longterm. Right? For me it is. What about you? Well, I won&#8217;t go back and watch any of the highlights. I don&#8217;t want to see that ball coming off the right field wall. So maybe it still hurts you. It still hurts totally. When one it&#8217;s going to hurt. I know. So close. I know that that one hasn&#8217;t gone away and that doesn&#8217;t keep me depressed or anything. It&#8217;s just a little bit of that aching, that pain. It&#8217;s being so close and then it just kind of slips by hurts more than if you&#8217;re just a bad team for several seasons. Yeah. The giants World series didn&#8217;t hurt as bad because I believe they got sweat. Yeah. We didn&#8217;t, we didn&#8217;t expect to win, but against the Cardinals of all teams, the Cardinals and they had their chance. So that means like when your hopes aren&#8217;t as high, the lows aren&#8217;t as low. So like I know we&#8217;re in this current Cowboys season and you and I are seeing it a little differently, &#8230;]]></description>

We go through that a lot, like as close as we are to FC Dallas. Um, you know, you get attached to these players and then when they&#8217;re gone you, it makes me sad. I miss them, but I follow them all on social media so I can at least keep up with them. Like some of the FC Dallas players that we knew and they&#8217;ve moved on, they&#8217;ve moved on and gotten married and had kids. And so I still like feel like I at least get to kind of follow them, but I miss them. I wish they were still in our market, but also speaking of the Rangers, so that&#8217;s just kind of like a player example, but then what about when you lose a huge game? Like losing the world series when you&#8217;re as close as we were to winning the world series is not a couple of days bummed out water cooler talk like that&#8217;s longterm. Right? For me it is. What about you? Well, I won&#8217;t go back and watch any of the highlights. I don&#8217;t want to see that ball coming off the right field wall. So maybe it still hurts you. It still hurts totally. When one it&#8217;s going to hurt. I know. So close. I know that that one hasn&#8217;t gone away and that doesn&#8217;t keep me depressed or anything. It&#8217;s just a little bit of that aching, that pain. It&#8217;s being so close and then it just kind of slips by hurts more than if you&#8217;re just a bad team for several seasons. Yeah. The giants World series didn&#8217;t hurt as bad because I believe they got sweat. Yeah. We didn&#8217;t, we didn&#8217;t expect to win, but against the Cardinals of all teams, the Cardinals and they had their chance. So that means like when your hopes aren&#8217;t as high, the lows aren&#8217;t as low. So like I know we&#8217;re in this current Cowboys season and you and I are seeing it a little differently, &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. I listen to sports talk a lot. So maybe I dwell too much sometimes about sports stuff, but this is real thing to me. But I get sports sad. I think when there&#8217;s a passion for something then there&#8217;s highs and there&#8217;s lows and sometimes those lows stay with you and bum you out for maybe a few days or maybe a few years. I don&#8217;t think this will make sense to everybody. I don&#8217;t think this will make sense to non-sports people. I think some non-sports people will think this is silly, but I um, so I brought my husband with me today, Ryan to talk with me since he gets this, we live in the same household and we talk a lot about sports together and when there is something going on that makes us sort of sports depressed, we uh, we feel it together. So, hi Ryan. Thanks for joining me. Thanks for having me. Okay. So my first kind of example of how to explain this is like with the Rangers. Um, there&#8217;s all kinds of things that can make me sad with sports. But like most recently, like when they trade away a player, so like, like Nomar Mazara was recently traded and Delino was gone. And I mean it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a bummer just for the player standpoint that maybe you&#8217;re gonna miss the actual talent on the field. But what bums me out sometimes even more than that is like the memories that you have of those people. So when I say those two names, I know you know about different memories, but like, like I yell silly things. I yell, nomargarciapara to embarrass our kids at roughriders games and stuff. And um, I just remember watching his major league debut and his great rookie season. And then with Delino, there&#8217;s just some funny history there too, so that just knowing that they&#8217;re not on the roster anymore makes me sad or I don&#8217;t know, a couple of days, a couple of weeks. I know you get over it because then somebody replacing them and then by middle of the next season you have all these other new household names and you&#8217;ve, you know, forget, but you&#8217;ve moved on from kind of missing the old guys, right? Well we grow up watching these guys so we see them coming in as teenagers and playing with the Frisco rough riders and then moving onto the Rangers. And then when we see him go, it&#8217;s just, it&#8217;s hard. And you know, kids have jerseys and they grew up watching them. Forgot about that. Your kids have their jerseys. We go through that a lot, like as close as we are to FC Dallas. Um, you know, you get attached to these players and then when they&#8217;re gone you, it makes me ]]></itunes:summary>

Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And this week we are joined by Sammy Gonzales and Karen Hughes from Vogel Alcove. And we&#8217;re going to be talking a little bit about what their organization does and an upcoming event called day one Dallas. That&#8217;s happening on January 1st, 2020 first and foremost, guys, welcome to the show. Cool, thank you. Thank you. And I feel, I think I introduced you in the wrong order because Karen is the president and CEO of Vogel Alcove. And tell us a little bit about yourself and your background and how you came to be involved with this organization. Well, early childhood has always been my background. I started at Baylor and with elementary ed and then went to Houston and taught school and own my own school at one point and then got my masters degree and then went to Houston community college and started their onsite lab school and taught early childhood classes and then left the great state of Texas and moved to DC. And so I was in DC for about 10 years working for the national association for the education of young children. And then another nonprofit called the companion center. My husband and I adopted a little boy from Ethiopia when we were up there. And once we got Noah, we wanted to move back and the Vogel Alcove did a national search and found me there and I was ready to come home. So that&#8217;s how I got back here. Well, based on what little I know about Vogel Alcove, it sounds like you have exactly the right background to be leading this organization. So we&#8217;ll talk some more about that in a little bit. And Sammy, how about you? Yeah, after the designer out of college, um, started here in Dallas and started working with the American heart association, uh, was in their brand advertising and design department. So I&#8217;ve really learned more about marketing back when marketing was still pretty new as far as like the blogs and, and you know, getting more content creation out and everything. And I found an organization that had a great role as the director of marketing it&#8217;s called. And it was called Vogle Alcove. And so learned all about it and learned that there was homeless children in Dallas. Very naive to that subject. And then, um, and went through one of the toughest interviews I ever had in my entire life, um, sat here with Karen and uh, but really prepared me for the day to day operations of Vogel Alcove and that was going on about seven years ago. Um, and so really to see the organization change so much, um, about using all my whole background, social media marketing, graphic design, um, really leaving that stamp on the organization and helping communicate to the public about what we do and how we serve the homeless children and families in Dallas. So, uh, that&#8217;s a great segue into talking about Vogel Alcove and what that organization does. So prior to the, the podcast interview this morning, I was doing some additional research and reading about it and watching some of the video that you guys have produced. And, um, for whatever reason, homeless, the, the, the topic of homelessness is always something that&#8217;s been a little bit close to my heart because I&#8217;ve always felt like for somebody that wants to get their life back on track, if they, if you don&#8217;t even have a place to live, it&#8217;s very hard to do. Right? You don&#8217;t even really have the basics covered. And I know there are organizations and a lot of help and support out there for homeless adults, but you guys are taking it a step further and not only are the adults getting what they need, but you guys are helping the kids and putting a lot of focus on that and trying to break that cycle, which I think is a phenomenal idea. So talk to us a little bit about, in a little more detail about what Vogel Alcove does and how you&#8217;re helping the children that are part of homeless families. Well, the children who come to us, um, every day are [inaudible] when they first come to us, they&#8217;re living in a emergency shelter, a transitional housing program or a domestic violence shelter. Um, once they arrive and we work with them for awhile then and if their pant family gets housing, they can still stay. So right now it&#8217;s about 50% of people are housed and 50% are still in shelter with the children that we have. I like to say in terms of our programs that what Vogel does is we, um, rewire brains. We repair hearts and we restore families. So the rewiring the brain part comes with the fact that our children are zero to three. So we work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. And brain research will tell you that &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. Our guest today covers both the hustle and the youth side of sports and the pro side. Welcome Scott Secules. Scott was an NFL quarterback for six years and another 15 within the college sector and now leads a team who helps with youth athletics. How are you Scott? Great, how are you? Thanks for having me. Yeah, I&#8217;m great. All right, so I want to jump into a couple of quick hits to get to know you better. Who is your all time favorite athlete? Boy, that&#8217;s a tough one cause you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re making me pick sports there too. Well I know that&#8217;s my next question. You can go with a few if you need to. Well, you know, I, I as at a point now with someone that played for three different teams in the NFL, I root for the offense. So I like watching great quarterbacks play. So it would have to be a great quarterback. I don&#8217;t really know if I really have a favorite, but you know, guys, now I, you know, I love watching Tom Brady play, Drew Brees, Aaron Rogers, those guys that do it at a high level. You know, I was lucky enough to spend four years really close to Dan Morino in South Florida with the Dolphins. And that was a great experience just to see, you know, be that close to greatness. Really. Yeah. So then how about this, thinking back when you were a kid playing, who was your, you know, idol that you were looking up to? Well, I grew up in Northern Virginia as a Redskin fan, so Sonny Jurgensen and Billy Kilmer to date the really old people, were the quarterbacks then. They won a Superbowl with Joe Theismann. And you know, there were some great quarterbacks and some great teams, uh, that were part of the Joe Gibbs era and the George Allen era in DC. So those were, that was my team, you know, cause I was probably a football fan worse, you know, or more so than any other DC area sports even though I was, uh, adamant about cheering for something all year round. Right. So that was another question then. What&#8217;s, when we talk about your favorite sport to, to watch and then versus your favorite sport to play yourself, whatta ya got? Oh, I, I&#8217;m too old to play a lot anymore, but you know, I still love watching football. You know, I will sit and watch a football game. I won&#8217;t watch a baseball game unless it&#8217;s the world series or playoffs. And you know, kind of the same with basketball, although I&#8217;m more of a college basketball fan I think than the NBA, uh, until playoff time. But, and I also watch English premier league soccer and I will have a cup of coffee once on a Saturday morning and watch an EPL game and thoroughly enjoy that. But, you know, I think it&#8217;s more so that I&#8217;ve always had a great appreciation for something being done well. And I love watching guys at their craft, you know, regardless of what it is. Right. What about distance, say the farthest distance you may have traveled to either play yourself a as a player or to go watch sports? Well, to play is an easy one. In back to back years when I was in Miami, we played in Berlin and in Tokyo, the dreaded preseason games that had to travel. So, uh, we played the Raiders in Tokyo in the Tokyo Dome, so that was probably the farthest. And then the second farthest was we played the Broncos in Berlin and actually stayed in East Berlin and drove through the Brandenburg Gate going to and from practice. And we played in Olympic Stadium and practiced on the parade fields, which has a big stone tower where, you know, Hitler used to stand and watch the troops. Who&#8217;d have thought playing football would take you there? Yeah. It was an amazing experience. And then when our son was playing at Jesuit, they played in Dublin. Oh really? Yeah. They were part of a group of Catholic schools that went over and Notre Dame and Navy played in Dublin as the marquee game and they played three or four high school games the day before and the Jesuit kids got to go. So as a high school sophomore, you know they took the JV kids as well and they all got to go to Dublin for a couple &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. Our guest today covers both the hustle and the youth side of sports and the pro side. Welcome Scott Secules. Scott was an NFL quarterback for six years and another 15 within the college sector and now leads a team who helps with youth athletics. How are you Scott? Great, how are you? Thanks for having me. Yeah, I&#8217;m great. All right, so I want to jump into a couple of quick hits to get to know you better. Who is your all time favorite athlete? Boy, that&#8217;s a tough one cause you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re making me pick sports there too. Well I know that&#8217;s my next question. You can go with a few if you need to. Well, you know, I, I as at a point now with someone that played for three different teams in the NFL, I root for the offense. So I like watching great quarterbacks play. So it would have to be a great quarterback. I don&#8217;t really know if I really have a favorite, but you know, guys, now I, you know, I love watching Tom Brady play, Drew Brees, Aaron Rogers, those guys that do it at a high level. You know, I was lucky enough to spend four years really close to Dan Morino in South Florida with the Dolphins. And that was a great experience just to see, you know, be that close to greatness. Really. Yeah. So then how about this, thinking back when you were a kid playing, who was your, you know, idol that you were looking up to? Well, I grew up in Northern Virginia as a Redskin fan, so Sonny Jurgensen and Billy Kilmer to date the really old people, were the quarterbacks then. They won a Superbowl with Joe Theismann.

In this episode we continue our chat with President Smatresk and Dean Randall about the history, future, and overall vision for UNT.

Welcome back to UNT unplugged. In part two of our conversation with president&#8217;s Smatresk and Dean Randall, we&#8217;re going to talk about creative tension kicking off the first cohort class, innovative partnerships, makeup, e-sports, and the founding fresco freshmen, and a few other surprises along the way. Welcome back. Here&#8217;s part two. We&#8217;ve got great creative tension, right? So we just look at, um, within the music programs, we&#8217;ve got incredibly talented artists who are purist. Um, and then we&#8217;ve got a Dean who is very entrepreneurial. It&#8217;s a perfect tension. Sure. Those conversations are not always comfortable, but in the end we get something that is, um, that&#8217;s really amazing and it&#8217;s great for our students. It gives them a tremendous potential. Imagine, for example, uh, that&#8217;s you&#8217;re Jeff Bezos working with Amazon and what is it that you&#8217;re looking for? Well, I think you&#8217;re looking for a total global market domination along with, by doing. And if you, if you don&#8217;t have a great website, if you don&#8217;t understand big data, if you don&#8217;t understand pricing strategies, if you don&#8217;t understand how to engage the consumer, you&#8217;re going to fail. What do we do at the university? We have the best calm design program, certainly in the Southwest and maybe the top one in the country communication design, formerly kind of the advertising marketing graphic design is now about user interface experience UX it&#8217;s about engaging people and bringing them in. And that program partners with our digital merchandising program, which is over in the school of merchandising and hospitality, those kids are getting jobs at Amazon and everyone everywhere else that is trying to market a, they have a new degree now called consumer experience. I mean, if your consumer is not having a good experience, they&#8217;re not coming back and look at the choice. They have a, we blend these classes and students are doing pick and take, you know, they&#8217;ll do a little social media here, a little new media, they&#8217;re a little calm design. Uh, and then they&#8217;ll go into the digital merchandising piece to get a backbone and with a little business core behind them. And they come up super competitors because they&#8217;re thinking in ways that traditional majors don&#8217;t think. I love that. And we&#8217;re bringing more and more of this kind of new cutting edge curriculum to our students every day. Yeah. And what that allows us to do as we start to watch our own students pick and choose, and then we interact with industry, particularly here in Frisco, that allows us to go, okay, this is now a thing, right? Like this project design and analysis. It&#8217;s really, we took, we started it with an integrative studies degree. We began this whole adventure. What last, not last may, may of 2018 gosh, it just, just way back then and now I, the first time we talked about it was may of 2018 we&#8217;ve already got the first group of students here doing it. So the current cohort group is the first to go through the program and that is a, you talk to anybody in higher ed that&#8217;s rapid because we&#8217;ve got this backbone of being able to come up with new ideas, put them together rapidly and as they work and we&#8217;ve pilot tested it, then we create a new degree around that topic. Right. The other thing that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s excellent, particularly in the Frisco ecosystem and at UNT is if you, if you wanted to create value, you&#8217;ve got to either increase benefit or decrease cost period. That means you got to make decisions. Means you got to take risks. If people go out and take, make a smart decision and it fails, everybody is okay with it. The senior administration is okay with it. If you&#8217;re continually making smart decisions that fail, somebody&#8217;s gonna have a chat with you. But in general there is an acknowledgement that we need to innovate and there is top level support for, Hey, great idea. We supported you. This one didn&#8217;t work. What are we going to learn for from it and let&#8217;s go try the next one. That&#8217;s not common. It&#8217;s not even that things don&#8217;t always work. Um, it&#8217;s okay to have an experimental approach. Yes. You know, in in maybe many institutions I&#8217;ve been in committees with, you know, there&#8217;d be the committee to study the committee that was going to start the committee and we go, let&#8217;s run. And we put the groups together. We try to launch a, if it&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t work, we correct on the fly. And we believe that that kind of agility is going to really be the difference maker. Uh, we, we started, uh, big data programs out here. We have data analytics, uh, two master&#8217;s degrees programs, and they&#8217;re not just for stat jocks or mathematicians or computer science geeks. These are on ramps or accessible that allow people who feel that they&#8217;re can really improve their base skills and get a job, uh, by understanding how to be users of big data and, and, and to bring that to their corporate environment. And that&#8217;s critical. &#8230;]]></description>

Imagine, for example, uh, that&#8217;s you&#8217;re Jeff Bezos working with Amazon and what is it that you&#8217;re looking for? Well, I think you&#8217;re looking for a total global market domination along with, by doing. And if you, if you don&#8217;t have a great website, if you don&#8217;t understand big data, if you don&#8217;t understand pricing strategies, if you don&#8217;t understand how to engage the consumer, you&#8217;re going to fail. What do we do at the university? We have the best calm design program, certainly in the Southwest and maybe the top one in the country communication design, formerly kind of the advertising marketing graphic design is now about user interface experience UX it&#8217;s about engaging people and bringing them in. And that program partners with our digital merchandising program, which is over in the school of merchandising and hospitality, those kids are getting jobs at Amazon and everyone everywhere else that is trying to market a, they have a new degree now called consumer experience. I mean, if your consumer is not having a good experience, they&#8217;re not coming back and look at the choice. They have a, we blend these classes and students are doing pick and take, you know, they&#8217;ll do a little social media here, a little new media, they&#8217;re a little calm design. Uh, and then they&#8217;ll go into the digital merchandising piece to get a backbone and with a little business core behind them. And they come up super competitors because they&#8217;re thinking in ways that traditional majors don&#8217;t think. I love that. And we&#8217;re bringing more and more of this kind of new cutting edge curriculum to our students every day. Yeah. And what that allows us to do as we start to watch our own students pick and choose, and then we interact with industry, particularly here in Frisco, that allows us to go, okay, this is now a thing, right? Like this project design and analysis. It&#8217;s really, we took, we started it with an integrative studies degree. We began this whole adventure. What last, not last may, may of 2018 gosh, it just, just way back then and now I, the first time we talked about it was may of 2018 we&#8217;ve already got the first group of students here doing it.

Welcome to The Frisco Podcast. This is Nicole Barron, editor in chief of Lifestyle Frisco. And today I have the privilege of sitting with representatives from Leadership Prep School in Frisco off Teel Parkway. There&#8217;s a lot of great things you need to learn and know about this fantastic charter school in Frisco. But first I want my guests to introduce themselves. Please. We&#8217;ll begin right here with our superintendent. Please. Hi, my name is Stacy Alton. I&#8217;m the superintendent at Leadership Prep School. Hi, my name is Audra Floyd. I&#8217;m the principal at the secondary campus. And my name is Michelle Creamer, and I&#8217;m the elementary principal. It is a pleasure to have you because I think I, I&#8217;m as I say, I&#8217;m assuming, but I&#8217;ve been, I&#8217;m a first go parent. I live very near the school and I know that many of my friends we drive past. I&#8217;m familiar because I work, you know, you all are clients of ours, but many of my friends drive past and they don&#8217;t understand the difference. What sets you all apart, why you exist, uh, what your goals are as a school for the students you serve. So let&#8217;s just start at the top. For anyone listening that isn&#8217;t familiar with Leadership Prep . Stacy, can you please share a little bit about the school? Absolutely. Um, Leadership Prep is a public school. It is free. It&#8217;s open to all and offering opportunities for every student to be future ready. Uh, our focus is to offer personalized attention to our students and we have the freedom to continuously innovate and give students the hands on experience they need to become the thinkers and leaders of tomorrow with one of the most robust and fastest growing job markets in the country. We need the workers of tomorrow to be highly skilled and ready to rise to the challenge. Employers are asking for a workforce with leadership set skill sets and to prepare students to be future ready, they must have opportunities to lead today. So our mission at Leadership Prep School is to inspire students to learn, grow and lead for a lifetime. And I&#8217;ll let one of our principals talk a little bit about our leadership model and what sets us apart. Good. Because I really would like to know all of that incredible messaging that you just delivered about leadership. That was what I got the most that I, that you seem to be emphasizing. I would love to know what that looks like day to day, both at the elementary and secondary level. I&#8217;m Andrea, anything you want to share about your experience and what you see day to day that sets you all apart? Yeah, absolutely. So at the secondary campus we are really focused on graduating all of our students into leadership. And what that means is that we have some strategic partnerships with Franklin Covey, Microsoft, a new tech network and code to the future that helps us to grow our students leadership, critical thinking and communication and collaboration skills. And they all get to learn from and hear from our partners from places like Toyota, a Nokia, Scottish Rite at and The Frisco Arts. And we also get to have our students solve some real world problems. And they also get to serve in the community with, um, some amazing projects that they&#8217;ve done through project based learning. So project based learning, you, you gave some fantastic examples of how you all are partnering the community and programs that you have. What does a, give me an example, if you don&#8217;t mind, if a project based activity going on this year at the school, what would be something that a child would experience? Right now we have a student that is working with, um, she&#8217;s started in the, the first goal. Entrepreneurial leader or gang entrepreneurial programs. Yes. And so part of that partnering, uh, she needs a logo for her business. And so our, um, our graphic design company or, uh, classes are designing and have gone through, you know, multiple reiterations of, of what they might look like and people are voting and the community&#8217;s voting on which one they liked the best. And so that&#8217;s one of the, we&#8217;ve gotten to do that for lots of different companies have brought that project to us. Um, they&#8217;re organizing a Ted talk right now where all of our students are going to be presenting it that, um, we do lots of planning for, uh, community outreach things that we do. Um, just to get out in the community and serve. It sounds like some of these activities could be resume items really, right. When they begin to apply for college, they have this actual hands on experience already in something that they might want to do in the future. Absolutely. That&#8217;s really amazing. Yeah.

Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; Over the past 40 episodes of Hustle and Pro, we&#8217;ve talked about baseball, football and basketball, and memories and visual images that fill our minds as we reimagine moments and athletes. Today, we dive into the world behind the lens of those capturing the images. What&#8217;s it like from their angle? For 28 years, Tim Heitman has been photographing college and pro teams and contributing to media organizations such as USA Today and Getty Images. Now, Tim talks to us about his career in sports photography. Tim tells us about his favorite athletes he&#8217;s worked with (it&#8217;s no coincidence this is episode number 41), his favorite sports to shoot (Go Stars), and some of the dangers he faces that you and I don&#8217;t even think about when we enjoy a game (you might not watch an infield double play the same way again). Show Notes [1:45] Quick hits with Tim Heitman [6:43] Teams Tim has worked with [10:30] Schedule of game day [12:34] What&#8217;s changed with digital and social media?

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. 00:13                            Ever noticed the photographers at sporting events? I definitely do. They seem to camouflage into the sidelines sometimes, but for me personally, I not only notice them, I&#8217;m really intrigued by them. I sit and I want to know what shots they&#8217;re getting, um, if they&#8217;re on a specific assignment, um, how much it hurts when they get tackled by the brunt of a out-of-bounds play or something like that. So we&#8217;re going to learn some of that today. So my guest today is Tim Heitman, sports photographer for Getty Images. Hi Tim. How are you? I&#8217;m good. How are you doing? I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m excited to talk to you. Thank you. First, I kind of want to know though, how long or how and when did you get into the business of, of sports? 00:51                            Well, I&#8217;ve been doing it a 27 or 28 years now and my background is actually finance. I had no training in photography whatsoever, happened to be playing in a band as a hobby. And the girlfriend of the guitar player used to be in the SID office of SMU. She said, Hey, I understand that you&#8217;ve taken some pictures and you&#8217;ve played baseball in college, would you want to be a sports photographer? So I, so I, uh, I kinda thought about that for a second and I asked what she was looking for and basically I started shooting SMU women&#8217;s basketball in about 1991 when the only people there were the coaches, the players and the parents. 01:32                            Wow. I didn&#8217;t know that background, so that&#8217;s fascinating. So you&#8217;re 27 at 28 years, is that what you said? Which is a long time, which is. Now I&#8217;m curious to know some of these quick hit answers. So that being said, and you&#8217;ve been shooting sports for so long, I&#8217;m curious, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? 01:53                            Probably Dirk. Dirk Nowitzki. I know it&#8217;s a hometown guy, but uh, that&#8217;s okay. I love Dirk. I started shooting the Mavericks about the same time he came to the Mavericks. Actually, I was there a little bit before, so I kind of grew up as a sports photographer as he grew up as a player and he&#8217;s, he&#8217;s unique on every level. What you see is what you get. He&#8217;s the nicest guy. And that was just to be the first superstar that I got to be that close to was probably something that I&#8217;ll always remember. 02:22                            Right. And what a lucky, you know, connection to make all, like you said somebody that kind of grew up in this sport as you got into this sport and didn&#8217;t leave this town. What are the odds right that that you got to have a career with someone&#8217;s career? 02:37                            That&#8217;s a good way to look at it. It was, we have co careers, although I think his is a little more successful. Maybe, maybe a few more, a few more people might know, know his name. One or two more. Alright. You mentioned um, playing baseball. So what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play? 02:54                            Baseball probably is my favorite sport to play. Um, I played since I was five years old, something like that. And I played up until my sophomore year in college, so it was just the sport. My dad actually played basketball at Iowa, played with, um, Don Nelson of all people speaking of another Dallas Maverick. My list to ask you about also the Dallas Maverick connection there. Um, so my dad played it, played basketball, but he never said, Hey, I have to go play basketball. And I just always loved baseball. So baseball. 03:25                            Okay. So two questions about your favorite sports to watch. One is what, how do you watch, what&#8217;s your favorite to watch as a fan? What&#8217;s your favorite sport to shoot as a photographer? 03:36                            Actually they are the same thing, uh, hockey. I don&#8217;t know how to play hockey. I don&#8217;t know how to skate. Um, but, um, it&#8217;s the fastest sport. It&#8217;s the most random in terms of how the outcomes come. Uh, I think anybody that watches it on TV doesn&#8217;t get the sense of the speed and the power. You really have to go to a game. And that kind of flows into the, my favorite sport to shoot because it&#8217;s by far the most challenging. Um, a lot of the other sports are, I don&#8217;t want to say easy, but it&#8217;s relatively easy, because of the, the lack &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. 00:13                            Ever noticed the photographers at sporting events? I definitely do. They seem to camouflage into the sidelines sometimes, but for me personally, I not only notice them, I&#8217;m really intrigued by them. I sit and I want to know what shots they&#8217;re getting, um, if they&#8217;re on a specific assignment, um, how much it hurts when they get tackled by the brunt of a out-of-bounds play or something like that. So we&#8217;re going to learn some of that today. So my guest today is Tim Heitman, sports photographer for Getty Images. Hi Tim. How are you? I&#8217;m good. How are you doing? I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m excited to talk to you. Thank you. First, I kind of want to know though, how long or how and when did you get into the business of, of sports? 00:51                            Well, I&#8217;ve been doing it a 27 or 28 years now and my background is actually finance. I had no training in photography whatsoever, happened to be playing in a band as a hobby. And the girlfriend of the guitar player used to be in the SID office of SMU. She said, Hey, I understand that you&#8217;ve taken some pictures and you&#8217;ve played baseball in college, would you want to be a sports photographer? So I, so I, uh, I kinda thought about that for a second and I asked what she was looking for and basically I started shooting SMU women&#8217;s basketball in about 1991 when the only people there were the coaches, the players and the parents. 01:32                            Wow. I didn&#8217;t know that background, so that&#8217;s fascinating. So you&#8217;re 27 at 28 years, is that what you said? Which is a long time, which is. Now I&#8217;m curious to know some of these quick hit answers. So that being said, and you&#8217;ve been shooting sports for so long, I&#8217;m curious, who&#8217;s your favorite athlete of all time? 01:53                            Probably Dirk. Dirk Nowitzki. I know it&#8217;s a hometown guy, but uh, that&#8217;s okay. I love Dirk. I started shooting the Mavericks about the same time he came to the Mavericks. Actually, I was there a little bit before, so I kind of grew up as a sports photographer as he grew up as a player and he&#8217;s, he&#8217;s unique on every level. What you see is what you get. He&#8217;s the nicest guy. And that was just to be the first superstar that I got to be that close to was probably something that I&#8217;ll always remember. 02:22                            Right. And what a lucky, you know, connection to make all, like you said somebody that kind of grew up in this sport as you got into this sport and didn&#8217;t leave this town. What are the odds right that that you got to have a career with someone&#8217;s career? 02:37                            That&#8217;s a good way to look at it. It was, we have co careers, although I think his is a little more successful. Maybe, maybe a few more, a few more people might know, know his name. One or two more. Alright. You mentioned um, playing baseball. So what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play? 02:54                            Baseball probably is my favorite sport to play. Um, I played since I was five years old, something like that. And I played up until my sophomore year in college, so it was just the sport. My dad actually played basketball at Iowa, played with, um, Don Nelson of all people speaking of another Dallas Maverick. My list to ask you about also the Dallas Maverick connection there. Um, so my dad played it, played basketball, but he never said, Hey, I have to go play basketball. And I just always loved baseball. So baseball. 03:25                            Okay. So two questions about your favorite sports to watch. One is what, how do you watch, what&#8217;s your favorite to watch as a fan? What&#8217;s your favorite sport to shoot as a photographer? 03:36                            Actually they are the same thing, uh, hockey. I don&#8217;t know how to play hockey. I don&#8217;t know how to skate. Um, but, um, it&#8217;s the fastest sport. It&#8217;s the most random in terms of how the outcomes come. Uh, I think anybody that watches it on TV doesn&#8217;t get the sense of the speed and the power. You really have to go to a game. And that kind of flows into the, my favorite sport to shoot because it&#8217;s by far the most challenging. Um, a lot of the other sports are, I don&#8217;t want to say easy, but it&#8217;s relatively easy, because of the, the lack &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

That beginning established a culture for UNT that continues to this day. In this episode, we chat with President Neil Smatresk and Dean Wesley Randall about the history, future, and overall vision for UNT.

Welcome to U N T Unplugged. And on this first episode, we&#8217;re going to sit down and have a conversation with UNTS own president, Neil Smatresk and the Dean of the Frisco campus, Wesley Randall. We&#8217;re going to get into a very interesting conversation about the history of UNT, about their vision for the Frisco campus on the new UNT cohort program they just launched and the future of education and how UNT is leading the way. This is a very interesting, very fun conversation. We got into so much good stuff. We&#8217;ve got to break it up into two parts. So here&#8217;s part one. I hope you enjoy. All right, President Smatresk and Dean Wesley Randall, thank you both for joining us on the podcast today. Good to have you here. It&#8217;s great to be here. One of the things I wanted to do is since we&#8217;re expanding into Frisco now and [inaudible] get a little bit of a history of UNT, I think that&#8217;s something that a lot of people don&#8217;t necessarily know as much about. So, uh, would you like to maybe kick it off and just give us a little bit of background of the university? Sure. You know, a lot of people don&#8217;t realize that we&#8217;re 129 years old about to be 130 years old. I almost had trouble with that map there. That&#8217;s never do pilot. No, it&#8217;s horrible. Um, we have founded in 1890 and we were founded, uh, initially as a kind of a normal school to help educate teachers. Our first class had 70 students and it was a mix of women and Indians, uh, native Americans. It was phenomenal because the start of us from the very beginning was very much diverse and very much inclusive. That went on for a while. We began developing real degrees around 1914 moved into the 1920s. We started offering bachelors. We were in normal school. Then as time went on, we added degree programs and all kinds of different activities. We began sports back in the, I think it was the 20s, we decided we would be Eagles and that our colors would be green and white. And this is really cool. The green and white colors were because the colors of mother earth were green. And we decided way back then that sustainability and honoring the earth would be part of our heritage. And it has been, we&#8217;re considered the greenest campus in Texas, not just because of mean Joe Green in our colors, but because we actually are very sustainable and have a lot of LEED certified buildings, uh, windmills and so forth. So that has carried forward to the point where we began offering, um, advanced degrees in the forties and fifties. And then docs in the late sixties, seventies, uh, our graduate programs have been growing explosively along with our population. And now you look at 20, 19, we stand at 39,000, 330 students. We offer an incredible array of the most comprehensive array of graduate and programs in North Texas. Uh, we&#8217;re a Carnegie tier one institution. We went from being tier two to tier one in a 15 year period. And that&#8217;s really remarkable. So we have really accelerated our growth and our national and international reputation. And so in a nutshell, we went from a school that was focused on serving the region around them to a school that is now focused on helping North Texas to achieve the great goals of economic prosperity and to transform our population so that they can continue to contribute for years to come. So in the Carnegie, uh, ranking that you talked about, what does that mean? Well, of the schools in the United States, all of them are ranked as specific categories from community colleges through the greatest research institutions, the very top tier of Carnegie rankings known as research. One includes about 131 universities. We&#8217;re one of them. Of course, when you enter, we entered in 2015. Uh, which was a great surprise to us and really quite gratifying. Of course, once you&#8217;re there, you want to stay in. Not everybody stays in. So we&#8217;ve made a number of really strong moves that in graduate programs adding graduate students, building their research funding capacity. We&#8217;re now moving our way up and we&#8217;re kind of broaching the middle of tier one now. And it&#8217;s our plan to continue to move into really strong areas and become a nationally prominent institution as opposed to what people used to call it directional institution, you know, with the North Texas moniker. Okay. So as UNT has, has grown and expanded, how many campuses are there now? Well, there&#8217;s really only two campuses. We have a little bit of a satellite activity, uh, on occasion around the Alliance airport, but that&#8217;s not really a campus. There&#8217;s the Frisco campus in the main campus. We have sister institutions in Fort worth and in South Dallas. But this is our big expansion because the Frisco area is so incredibly dynamic, the growth of industry tech industry in what we believe to be the future jobs of the world are really happening here in Frisco. So we wanted to implant ourselves, uh, embrace the corporate community, bring close that gap &#8230;]]></description>

Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Nicole Barron editor in chief of lifestyle Frisco. And today I have the privilege of sitting with the owners of POParella&#8217;s Gourmet Popcorn and Treats in Frisco Square. I&#8217;m a name and a business you&#8217;ve known for a long time. There may be some new things that we get to share with you that you weren&#8217;t familiar with about POParella&#8217;s. So I&#8217;m going to go ahead and let our guests introduce themselves. Hi, I&#8217;m Gina Johnson. I am the cone co owner of POParella&#8217;s Gourmet Popcorn and Treats and I&#8217;m Robert Johnson also Kona gourmet pepper rolls going my popcorn and treats. Fantastic. I&#8217;m so happy you&#8217;re both here because what a fun business to get to talk about. So we all know Frisco square as I sort of walkable, you know, area. Lots of events happen on down there all year long, which I want to talk about how that impacts you and what that&#8217;s like for you all. Um, when did you purchase POParella&#8217;s? Because although it&#8217;s been around a long time and you can tell me exactly how long, when did you enter the scene? So we entered the scene back in July of 2018 so it&#8217;s been a little over what, 16 months or so. Wow. Okay. How long has POParella&#8217;s has actually been there before you took over? We just had a birthday. You did? 11 years. 11 years? Yep. Yep. 11 years. So what has this last year and a half nearly been like for you? I bet learning so much. Um, I had a little bit of background around popcorn because I, uh, kinda did it out of my house. I had a cottage food store out of my house and sold it by word of mouth and that&#8217;s how Gary, the previous owner found me. So I didn&#8217;t go in totally blind, but there was so much to learn. Um, different types of seed. I only used one kind of seed. We use two different kinds of seed in the store. Um, flavoring machines, uh, cash register personnel, HR, your everything. When you step into that role. Wow. What a great opportunity though. I can&#8217;t imagine what that&#8217;s been like for you. So do you happen to know, this is like a way background question, where does the name proper Relas come from? So Gary, um, initially opened the store with a name called love, peace, popcorn, but he found out pretty quickly that he had to change the name because that name was already taken by the trademark association. So, um, he had to come up with the name quickly to name the store. And his last name&#8217;s pepper Ella. So they took the a between the P a P and put an O there. And so it&#8217;s pop. So it&#8217;s a name after his last name. That&#8217;s a fun bit of history. Yeah, it is. It is. Yeah. So interesting. All right, so tell us about the popcorn. We need to know, I mean, this is not just your basic popcorn. This is super fun and where, and so tasty. Um, he, he has these recipes down to the T. um, so when we bought the store, we bought the name, but we also bought the recipes. Nothing&#8217;s changed. The name hasn&#8217;t changed in the recipes, haven&#8217;t changed, which in my opinion are the two most important things in the store. Um, the recipes, uh, he, over the 10 years that he owned the store, uh, he refined them to where they are just perfect. Uh, majority of the people that come in and like them 99.9% of the people that come in, like the flavors say they are true to the flavor that they&#8217;re, they&#8217;ve asked for. So, um, now we&#8217;re up to a little over 60 flavors. 60, 60 flavors. Yup. Four different categories. Um, savory kettles, caramels, Candide and specialties. So what&#8217;s the, and Robert, maybe you have an opinion about this. What&#8217;s the like craziest, I mean that&#8217;s, you know, a relative term, but what&#8217;s the craziest flavor? Like something people just would not think of or believe could be done? I heard there&#8217;s one called a Frisco blend. What&#8217;s that first go blend is a cheese and caramel mix. Probably like dr pepper maybe or a dill pickle. Oh my gosh. Those must surprise me a lot. Dr pepper. That&#8217;s big around here. It is huge. How cool is that? Yeah. And we compliment it with dr pepper, cotton candy and dr pepper gummies. And occasionally I&#8217;ll make some dr pepper fudge to go with it. Oh my gosh. So we specialize in a basket that has all dr pepper flavored items in it that can be purchased on our website. We need to partner with dr pepper ballpark if you haven&#8217;t yet. Oh, we have a little bit of work. You&#8217;d be surprised at all of it here that okay. Awesome. So, and then you mentioned &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker 00:13                            Welcome to Hustle and Pro. On today&#8217;s episode we&#8217;re talking to Jackson Bourne. Jackson wrestles for the Reedy High School wrestling team. Welcome Jackson. Hi. How are you today? I&#8217;m good, how are you? I&#8217;m good. So let&#8217;s jump in to a couple of quick hits to get to know you and some things about you a little bit better. So who would you say is your favorite athlete of all time? Of all time I&#8217;d probably say Jordan Burroughs. He&#8217;s a Olympic gold medalist and Olympic bronze medalist for wrestling. I don&#8217;t know him. That&#8217;s a first so far. I haven&#8217;t had anybody say that before, so that&#8217;s good. So is wrestling your favorite sport to watch? Yes, it is. And is it your favorite thing to do as far as sports go? Um, my favorite sport, probably player, just like mess around doing is probably like football or something, but I didn&#8217;t really get like big enough to play football until like this year. Like all my other years. I was like, I think I broke five foot freshman year, so I just didn&#8217;t play football after that. But you like to play just for fun? Yeah. So we might get into this in a minute, but I always like to know what&#8217;s the farthest distance that you&#8217;ve traveled to either like wrestle yourself or to watch some, some other sport. So I think I know your answer from something you just got to do recently. Yeah, I went to the Olympic training center. So where&#8217;s that? Colorado Springs. Okay. Is that the farthest distance you think you think you&#8217;ve gone for wrestling or have you traveled farther? I have been in Dakota and I&#8217;ve been to New York. Oh! So one other thing. Do you have any superstitions that you have to do on match day or whatever you call it in wrestling? Uh, no, not really, but I always wear like Nike socks. Oh, gotta have the Nike socks. Okay, fair enough. 02:05                            All right, so I want to learn about your story. I don&#8217;t know much about wrestling yet. Um, you&#8217;re my first wrestler I&#8217;ve had on here, but I want to know how you got into it since it&#8217;s not like one of the most common sports of people I talk to. How&#8217;d you find it? How old were you? Tell me about it. Well, I was four years old when I started wrestling and I, I got into it cause my dad wrestled in middle school, but when he moved like his eighth grade year and his high school didn&#8217;t have wrestling so he didn&#8217;t wrestle in high school. So I just picked it up when I was four and I&#8217;ve been doing it ever since. So did he stop? So if he didn&#8217;t have it in his high school, he just didn&#8217;t have any way to do it anymore, so he was done? Yes ma&#8217;am. Okay. So then does he help you out knowing the sport? Yes sometimes he does. Do you like that he knows the sport? Uh, sometimes. Sometimes I don&#8217;t. So you started when you were four. So where do you wrestle as a four year old? Well I&#8217;ve been part of the Frisco Bombers Wrestling Club since then. I still am. And at that time it was run out of Centennial with uh, Mikey and Darren Snyder and Darren Snyder now is my assistant wrestling coach at Reedy. Wow. 03:23                            So you&#8217;ve known these guys your whole lives wrestling with them. So you started at four and then so, how do you start getting competitive? I mean, I assume it&#8217;s kind of like when kids take Karate or TaeKwonDo or something and they&#8217;re just learning it, right as a sport. But then at what age do you start competing in wrestling? I think I competed that year probably. That little, Oh wow. They have like youth divisions and stuff, but I didn&#8217;t really start taking it seriously until probably like seventh or eighth grade. Okay. What other sports did you play then I guess in middle school? Sounds like you focused on wrestling mostly, but you mentioned football and, but not playing like in high school. Did you play other sports when you were younger? Uh, when I was like three, four or five, I played soccer, but I didn&#8217;t play after that and I played football from first grade to eighth grade I think. Yeah. No track or running sports or conditioning type of off-season sports, because I&#8217;m guessing, right. I don&#8217;t know a lot about wrestling yet, but you&#8217;re very fit, right? You have to &#8230;]]></description>

Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker 00:13                            Welcome to Hustle and Pro. On today&#8217;s episode we&#8217;re talking to Jackson Bourne. Jackson wrestles for the Reedy High School wrestling team. Welcome Jackson. Hi. How are you today? I&#8217;m good, how are you? I&#8217;m good. So let&#8217;s jump in to a couple of quick hits to get to know you and some things about you a little bit better. So who would you say is your favorite athlete of all time? Of all time I&#8217;d probably say Jordan Burroughs. He&#8217;s a Olympic gold medalist and Olympic bronze medalist for wrestling. I don&#8217;t know him. That&#8217;s a first so far. I haven&#8217;t had anybody say that before, so that&#8217;s good. So is wrestling your favorite sport to watch? Yes, it is. And is it your favorite thing to do as far as sports go? Um, my favorite sport, probably player, just like mess around doing is probably like football or something, but I didn&#8217;t really get like big enough to play football until like this year. Like all my other years. I was like, I think I broke five foot freshman year, so I just didn&#8217;t play football after that. But you like to play just for fun? Yeah. So we might get into this in a minute, but I always like to know what&#8217;s the farthest distance that you&#8217;ve traveled to either like wrestle yourself or to watch some, some other sport. So I think I know your answer from something you just got to do recently. Yeah, I went to the Olympic training center. So where&#8217;s that? Colorado Springs. Okay. Is that the farthest distance you think you think you&#8217;ve gone for wrestling or have you traveled farther? I have been in Dakota and I&#8217;ve been to New York. Oh! So one other thing. Do you have any superstitions that you have to do on match day or whatever you call it in wrestling? Uh, no, not really, but I always wear like Nike socks. Oh, gotta have the Nike socks. Okay, fair enough. 02:05                            All right, so I want to learn about your story. I don&#8217;t know much about wrestling yet. Um, you&#8217;re my first wrestler I&#8217;ve had on here, but I want to know how you got into it since it&#8217;s not like one of the most common sports of people I talk to. How&#8217;d you find it? How old were you? Tell me about it. Well, I was four years old when I started wrestling and I, I got into it cause my dad wrestled in middle school, but when he moved like his eighth grade year and his high school didn&#8217;t have wrestling so he didn&#8217;t wrestle in high school. So I just picked it up when I was four and I&#8217;ve been doing it ever since. So did he stop? So if he didn&#8217;t have it in his high school, he just didn&#8217;t have any way to do it anymore, so he was done? Yes ma&#8217;am. Okay. So then does he help you out knowing the sport? Yes sometimes he does. Do you like that he knows the sport? Uh, sometimes. Sometimes I don&#8217;t. So you started when you were four. So where do you wrestle as a four year old? Well I&#8217;ve been part of the Frisco Bombers Wrestling Club since then. I still am. And at that time it was run out of Centennial with uh, Mikey and Darren Snyder and Darren Snyder now is my assistant wrestling coach at Reedy. Wow. 03:23                            So you&#8217;ve known these guys your whole lives wrestling with them. So you started at four and then so, how do you start getting competitive? I mean, I assume it&#8217;s kind of like when kids take Karate or TaeKwonDo or something and they&#8217;re just learning it, right as a sport. But then at what age do you start competing in wrestling? I think I competed that year probably. That little, Oh wow. They have like youth divisions and stuff, but I didn&#8217;t really start taking it seriously until probably like seventh or eighth grade. Okay. What other sports did you play then I guess in middle school? Sounds like you focused on wrestling mostly, but you mentioned football and, but not playing like in high school. Did you play other sports when you were younger? Uh, when I was like three, four or five, I played soccer, but I didn&#8217;t play after that and I played football from first grade to eighth grade I think. Yeah. No track or running sports or conditioning type of off-season sports, because I&#8217;m guessing, right. I don&#8217;t know a lot about wrestling yet, but you&#8217;re very fit, right? You have to &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;ve invited one of our own Lifestyle Frisco family sports fans, Oliver Barron, to run through a few of our lists on game changers in sports. Growing up overseas, Oliver played cricket, soccer, and rugby. Having moved to the US as a teenager, he adopted American sports quickly and developed favorite teams and players. Oliver shares his perspective on who has impacted basketball, football, soccer, golf, tennis, and more. Sports keep us entertained and amazed. Sports make us happy and sometimes sad and disappointed.

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee League to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. Changing the outcome. That&#8217;s what we are talking about today. This is the game changers episode. I asked my friend Oliver Baron to help. How are you Oliver? I&#8217;m good, Kelly, how are you? I&#8217;m great. Thanks for joining us. So let&#8217;s do what we do here on Hustle and Pro and do a couple of quick hits to get to know you a little bit. Who&#8217;s your favorite team? I would say St Louis Cardinals baseball, obviously. Is baseball your favorite sport to watch? It isn&#8217;t actually. I&#8217;ve just been a Cardinals fan for most of my US life, so I grew up overseas primarily. Where&#8217;d you grow up? So I was born in South Africa. I lived in Hong Kong and Singapore and I&#8217;m from an English father. So my sports as a youth were primarily the English sports, like cricket and rugby and soccer. That you played? I did, yeah. You played cricket and soccer and rugby? Oh yeah. Not for extended periods of time, but I&#8217;ve definitely played in a season or two in all of those, soccer more, you know, through my freshman year in high school until we moved to the US. So what&#8217;s this sport that you&#8217;d say you&#8217;ve played the most? Soccer probably. Yeah. And is that one of your favorite still? It is. I mean, World Cup time, obviously that&#8217;s the most glorious time, you know, every four years. Right. So definitely, you know, but as far as following the pro leagues during the professional seasons, a little bit difficult, I think just having to have, you know, the particular channels and things to watch those games. So yeah, it&#8217;s not always easy to follow the English premier league champions league soccer all the time. My husband tries. So I&#8217;m sure that you wish you had more time to watch that all weekend too. It&#8217;s all hours of the day, right? Absolutely. So what is the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to play sports or to watch sports? Yeah, so that&#8217;s a good question. That, I guess if we&#8217;re measuring from where we&#8217;re sitting today, it would be Indonesia. I played soccer there when I was living in Singapore, but so that&#8217;s actually a very short distance. So, but maybe that&#8217;s an answer to your question. Short distance from where you were living at the time, but far from here. Right, exactly. Probably one of the farthest I&#8217;ve ever had someone say. And so then I know we&#8217;re going to talk about game changers today, but if you had to pick one athlete overall who was like a favorite of yours, who would it be? That&#8217;s easy. Actually. Michael Jordan. So we moved to the U S in 89 and so he had just, you know, sort of what, three years into his career. And you were either a Bulls fan or you are not right at that time. And so I was a huge Michael Jordan fan. He was amazing. He is definitely a game changer. So that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to talk about. So a game changer is, I guess it could mean anything to anybody, but it&#8217;s really like a shift, someone who changes the course of doing something or how you see something. And like in sports it&#8217;s really players who changed the game, right? It could be good or bad. While I was brainstorming to talk to you, I thought, man, some of these are not great connotations of game changers because sometimes people spoil the game or I don&#8217;t know for whatever reason. Like there&#8217;s a particular baseball name on here that that might be a negative perception sometimes. But let&#8217;s go through and see who you think some of the game changers are in sports. So how do you want to tackle this? You do you have a list for me? I kind of do. Yeah, It&#8217;s in my head a bit. So with all apologies to Michael Jordan, my favorite athlete of all time, I&#8217;m gonna sort of go to a more modern player. I think maybe it&#8217;ll be more relevant for your audience. I don&#8217;t wanna get too old school here. Right. But Steph Curry, you know, and I think obviously the thing that stands out, you know, immediately with him is he&#8217;s basically revolutionized the long distance game. Right? And maybe fans like myself who &#8230;]]></description>

I played soccer there when I was living in Singapore, but so that&#8217;s actually a very short distance. So, but maybe that&#8217;s an answer to your question. Short distance from where you were living at the time, but far from here. Right, exactly. Pr]]></itunes:summary>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And this morning we are joined by Josh Sandler, the president and CEO of Gold Medal Pools. Josh, welcome to the show. Thank you. Pleasure to be here, Scott. Yeah, it&#8217;s good to have you on. I, I&#8217;ve been interested to chat with you for a while because as I understand it, some of the more interesting and fun kind of cool, uh, Frisco pool projects or Gold Medal Pools projects. Can you tell us a little bit about a couple of those love to, um, you know, obviously we&#8217;ve built, uh, my family&#8217;s built residential swimming pools in this market for over five decades. And, um, you know, over the past several decades, we&#8217;ve grown our presence in the commercial space and we&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to work with the city and some other great partners on, uh, some pretty unique projects. One of them being the lazy river and the rough riders park. Uh, we built a pool on the roof of the Omni at the star. We&#8217;re building the pool on the roof of 12 Cowboys way. Um, we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re doing a several large found and hardscape projects at, uh, grand scapes. They&#8217;re connected in Nebraska furniture Mart. So, uh, we&#8217;ve found a niche for ourselves doing, uh, uh, doing some pretty unique projects and we&#8217;re super proud of them. Very cool. I definitely want to dive into a couple of those. Uh, just cause I have some key questions. I&#8217;ve been curious about how rooftop pools get built for awhile without, you know, caving in and causing any problems. I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s an art to that, but before we dive into all of that, uh, it is the holiday season. It is a time of year forgiving and you guys are big supporters of and a drop off point for the toys for tots and drive that is happening right now. So first of all, is there any particular background? Is this just something you guys have done for a long time or is it, why is that important to Gold Medal Pools? Our company and family is focused on giving, you know, this cause, uh, really resonates with us, you know, for a number of reasons. One, um, you know, having the Marines and armed forces involved. Um, we&#8217;re just so thankful for everything they do for the daily freedoms that we can have. And then being able to help, uh, children that aren&#8217;t as fortunate as some of our children here, uh, during, during the holiday times is, is just something that, uh, holds a special place in our heart. So for those that would like to come by the show, is it the showroom where people can drop things off? Yes, sir. Okay. So if people want to come by the showroom, drop off toys, where, where is that located? We&#8217;re at 43, 26 Preston road. Okay. Um, if you know where the new Tinder barbecue is, we&#8217;re just up from the Hacienda. You can&#8217;t miss us. We&#8217;re right on Preston road. We&#8217;ve got several show pools and uh, and displays built for our clients to see. In addition to coming by. And we definitely want to get people to come over to the showroom and see all the cool projects. But if they want to donate a toy for the toy drive but don&#8217;t have an opportunity to get by for whatever reason. Uh, I understand you guys have another way for people to uh, to contribute to the cause. We do and thank goodness for technology. We actually have an Amazon registry. Uh, you can go to Gold Medal Pools, toys for tots if you&#8217;re unable to make it by our location and still donate a toy to the cause. Okay, very good. Yeah, so you guys will definitely link that up in the show notes. If you want to make a donation a contribute, I strongly recommend go by the show room if you can, especially if you&#8217;re in the area. But if for whatever reason you cannot make it by, there is another opportunity there. And again, look at the show notes for the link. Do you guys go beyond just the pools? I assume you do like the whole backyard thing and all that stuff as well or no? We, we do a really how we&#8217;ve grown this is by listening to our clients and you know, where it &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as she talks sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee league to pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Welcome to Hustle and Pro. Thanks for joining us today. You&#8217;re going to hear from Kip Rogers Watson. I asked Kip to join us because her story is cool and unique and her role in sports is cool and unique as a sports psychology professional and therapist supervisor and certified high performance coach and a PCA trainer. We&#8217;re going to get into all of those things. Thank you for joining us. Absolutely. Thanks for having me. So at the beginning of these, I do some, some quick hit fast favorites about your own sports preferences. So tell me who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Oh my gosh. It depends on which decade. Um, I, you know, I had the honor of watching Michael Jordan play when he was just, you know, at his best, at his peak. So I&#8217;d probably have to say as an athlete, Michael Jordan, and as someone who inspired me way back when, Nadia Comaneci. I love her,. You know, way back when. Yeah, smooth gymnast, tiny little thing. She was. Yes. What about your favorite team? Ohio State Buckeyes. I grew up on Buckeyes and that&#8217;s really what got me into sports at the very beginning is my dad dragged me to all kinds of Buckeye events. And you experience at five years old, you experienced the horseshoe with 100,000 fans and it is a spiritual experience and you&#8217;re hooked and you&#8217;re hooked. Yes. What about your favorite sport to play? Favorite sport to play? Mm, well gosh, the sports I love to play like I&#8217;m so old now. That&#8217;s okay. It makes it difficult. I mean, I loved being a competitive gymnast and I loved being a competitive tackle football player. And now that I&#8217;m not doing either one of those, um, I just enjoy being physical, whether it&#8217;s, you know, whatever. I like kickboxing a ton. I do, I do it a lot. So, you know, those are three, well I guess not three different things, but the gymnastics and the tackle football are not what I define as sports, but very similar in, if you have a fear response, which we can get into, they&#8217;re both bad. If you struggle with fear, huh? Yes. Cause you can&#8217;t hesitate in either one. Okay. I&#8217;m ready to get into that in a minute. One last quick thing. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? Oh, anything I geek out on anything I can watch anything, especially during Olympics time, like don&#8217;t bother me. I&#8217;m watching whatever&#8217;s on. Don&#8217;t talk to me. Don&#8217;t interrupt me. I&#8217;m watching. I love it. Okay, let&#8217;s explore your story, your personal story. I want to hear more about the professional side of things. But to get to know you a little bit better about that, the first time I met you I heard you talking about playing football and I was intrigued, obviously. Um, so what is your story as far as you being an athlete? Well, when I was three my dad stuck a golf club in my hand cause he played collegiate golf at Texas Tech. And so I, he tried early on to get me into golf. Um, but my brain really was far too scattered to for a mental game, like golf. I mean, I&#8217;m decent at it, but I just find it hard to concentrate like that, that sport requires. Um, but my parents were really good. They let me try a variety of things. So when I was young, like I did dance, I did tennis, I did ice skating, uh, swimming, diving, you know, all, all kinds of different things. And um, and then I really landed on gymnastics, which I started late actually as a gymnast. My first competitive season was when I was 11. Oh, that is pretty late. Yes. Most kiddos start when they&#8217;re toddlers and you know, like forward rolls and like keep at it. Right. You got started a little later. That&#8217;s interesting. And how, how long were you at gym? Like how competitive? Eight years. Okay. I did it competitively eight years and back then there were known as classes, not levels in got to that class right before elite level. So, and then I hung up my grips when I went to college. What did you do in college? Any sports? Nothing. Any recreational sports though? Or did you just not play for awhile? I didn&#8217;t do anything. Okay. Then tell me how you became a football player. Well, I was, you know, I went to college and got my degrees, got my master&#8217;s and I, uh, actually worked in radio and television for about eight years and then went back to school. Went to Dallas Seminary, got a master&#8217;s &#8230;]]></description>

I asked Kip to join us because her story is cool and unique and her role in sports is cool and unique as a sports psychology professional and therapist supervisor and certified high performance coach and a PCA trainer. We&#8217;re going to get into all of those things. Thank you for joining us. Absolutely. Thanks for having me. So at the beginning of these, I do some, some quick hit fast favorites about your own sports preferences. So tell me who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Oh my gosh. It depends on which decade. Um, I, you know, I had the honor of watching Michael Jordan play when he was just, you know, at his best, at his peak. So I&#8217;d probably have to say as an athlete, Michael Jordan, and as someone who inspired me way back when, Nadia Comaneci. I love her,. You know, way back when. Yeah, smooth gymnast, tiny little thing. She was. Yes. What about your favorite team? Ohio State Buckeyes. I grew up on Buckeyes and that&#8217;s really what got me into sports at the very beginning is my dad dragged me to all kinds of Buckeye events. And you experience at five years old, you experienced the horseshoe with 100,000 fans and it is a spiritual experience and you&#8217;re hooked and you&#8217;re hooked. Yes. What about your favorite sport to play? Favorite sport to play? Mm, well gosh, the sports I love to play like I&#8217;m so old now. That&#8217;s okay. It makes it difficult. I mean, I loved being a competitive gymnast and I loved being a competitive tackle football player. And now that I&#8217;m not doing either one of those, um, I just enjoy being physical, whether it&#8217;s, you know, whatever. I like kickboxing a ton. I do, I do it a lot. So, you know, those are three, well I guess not three different things, but the gymnastics and the tackle football are not what I define as sports, but very similar in, if you have a fear response, which we can get into, they&#8217;re both bad. If you struggle with fear, huh? Yes. Cause you can&#8217;t hesitate in either one. Okay. I&#8217;m ready to get into that in a minute. One last quick thing. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch? Oh, anything I geek out on anything I can watch anything, especially during Olympics time, like don&#8217;t bother me. I&#8217;m watching whatever&#8217;s on. Don&#8217;t talk to me. Don&#8217;t interrupt me. I&#8217;m watching. I love it. Okay, let&#8217;s explore your story, your personal story. I want to hear more about the professional side of things. But to get to know you a little bit better about that, the first time I met you I heard you talking about playing football and I was intrigued, obviously. Um, so what is your story as far as you being an athlete? Well, when I was three my dad stuck a golf club in my hand cause he played collegiate golf at Texas Tech. And so I, he tried early on to get me into golf. Um, but my brain really was far too scattered to for a mental game, like golf. I mean, I&#8217;m decent at it, but I just find it hard to concentrate like that, that sport requires. Um, but my parents were really good. They let me try a variety of things. So when I was young, like I did dance, I did tennis, I did ice skating, uh, swimming, diving, you know, all, all kinds of different things. And um, and then I really landed on gymnastics, which I started late actually as a gymnast. My first competitive season was when I was 11. Oh, that is pretty late. Yes. Most kiddos start when they&#8217;re toddlers and you know, like forward rolls and like keep at it. Right. You got started a little later. That&#8217;s interesting. And how, how long were you at gym? Like how competitive? Eight years. Okay. I did it competitively eight years and back then there were known as classes, not levels in got to that class right before elite level. So, and then I hung up my grips when I went to college. What did you do in college? Any sports? Nothing. Any recreational sports though? Or did you just not play for awhile? I didn&#8217;t do anything. Okay. Then tell me how you became a football player. Well, I was, you know, I went to college and got my degrees, got my master&#8217;s and I, uh, actually worked in radio and television for about eight years and then went back to school. Went to Dallas Seminary, got a master&#8217;s &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis, and today we are joined by Alison Byram from the North Texas Turkey Trot. It&#8217;s that time of year again. Allison, welcome to the show. Scott, thanks for having me. I cannot believe it&#8217;s November already. I know that, uh, the Turkey Trot is going to sneak up on us pretty fast. I know, I honestly can&#8217;t believe it. And this is going to be our ninth year doing the North Texas Turkey Trot. Thank you. And yours is a, that&#8217;s a bunch in Frisco. That&#8217;s a long time in Frisco. We were, you know, we got started before fresco was really getting started or as it was getting started. We&#8217;ve really grown with the city. 2010 was the first year, 2011, 2011 was the first year. And I haven&#8217;t been involved since the very beginning, but I know a lot of the committee and a lot of our participants have been involved since the beginning. So it&#8217;s excited. It&#8217;s exciting to have made it this far. So great segue into the first question and that is how did you become involved in the North Texas Turkey trial? Oh, that&#8217;s a really, really good question. When I was out, I own my own PR consulting firm for a while now and I got involved by way of some people that I knew that were on the board of the miracle league of Frisco. And so the North Texas Turkey Trot raises money for the miracle league. So it was just kind of a, a perfect marriage for me. An organization that I really care a lot about. The miracle league of Frisco supports kids with special needs, providing sports opportunities and across seven different sports. And I know we&#8217;ll get into that a little bit, but just by way of knowing people in Frisco and got plugged in and found it was a cause that I really cared about. And what&#8217;s more fun than getting up on Thanksgiving with thousands of Frisco residents and people from surrounding suburbs and you know, putting on a cool tee shirt and maybe a Turkey hat and you know, sweating it out before you eat all the Thanksgiving calories. I&#8217;ve done a few runs on Thanksgiving morning in my time and I tell you, it is very, uh, satisfying to go burn off those calories before you take them all in again. So absolutely. Wow. I eat double because I cause I&#8217;ve earned it. Right. And I encourage everyone to do that too. I&#8217;m very good and hopefully we&#8217;ll have a good weather again this year for the Turkey Trot. I hope so. Last year was beautiful and I know you and Wendy and the lifestyle Frisco team were out. The weather was perfect and I always say with Texas and our unpredictable weather, you know, some years we&#8217;re putting the layers on and some years we&#8217;re taking them off who&#8217;s to say what this year&#8217;s going to look like, but we are a rain or shine event. So you know, despite, you know, unless crazy ice appears and it&#8217;s just not safe to do the rice, we will be there. So want people to know that uh, yeah, something you can depend on and thanks so many people come out to the event. Let me, let me rephrase that. Cause I know a lot of people come out, but how many people run? Sure. So and just, it&#8217;s funny, there is this interesting, in 2011 we had 1600 participants and I was saying the race has really grown as Frisco has grown. Last year we had more than 8,000 participants and more than 12,000 on the race site. We&#8217;re expecting more than that this year. It way, you know, the grassroots nature of how this event has really grown year over year is so exciting to see. And with all the new families moving to Frisco and surrounding areas, you know, it makes sense that our event is has grown and we&#8217;re just really, really excited about it. Well good. Congratulations on all that growth. Yeah, that&#8217;s a lot of, that&#8217;s a lot of runners. I know we&#8217;re actually the city of Frisco&#8217;s largest active lifestyle event, which is great because it&#8217;s an industry that has kind of senior, we saw some rapid growth over the years and it&#8217;s kind of just spin a little stagnant or even declining in some markets just because you saw so many races pop up. So for ours to continue to grow despite an industry that&#8217;s maybe not doing as well, I think just speaks volumes to the team that works behind this. And I think to the dedication of, you know, and the beauty that is tradition, you know, we have all of these families who come out year after year and they&#8217;ve, you know, when they started, &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly is she talked sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee league pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Kelly Walker:                Welcome to Hustle &#38; Pro. Today we have our first Lebanon Trail High School student athlete on the show. Thanks and hello Olivia Mitchell. How are you doing today? Olivia Mitchell:              I&#8217;m good. How are you? Kelly:                            I am great. So I&#8217;m excited to talk to you about some golf. So let&#8217;s explore your story a little bit and I have some fast favorites I want to ask you first. Who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? Olivia:                           My favorite athlete would outside of the golf world is probably Tom Brady just because I grew up in a household where it was all about the Patriots. My dad&#8217;s been a Patriots fan forever, so we always watch games on Sunday and he&#8217;s probably it. Kelly:                            What about in the golf world then? Olivia:                           In the golf world? Um, I&#8217;m a big fan of Matt Kuchar. He is so awesome. So fun to watch. Super great guy. I&#8217;d never met him, but you know, one day. Kelly:                            One day. What about your favorite team? So we might might go with Patriots here. You might&#8217;ve already said. Olivia:                           Definitely the Patriots for sure. Kelly:                            Okay. What&#8217;s the farthest you&#8217;ve ever traveled to play sports or to watch? Olivia:                           Um, I haven&#8217;t played or in a tournament play, I went across the country to Gig Harbor, not this summer but the last summer. So Washington. So that&#8217;s about as far as tournament play, but just playing for fun. I played in Curacao with my mom. Well it&#8217;s a part of the ABC Island, so like Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. It&#8217;s and down by South America. Wow. It was so pretty. It was [inaudible] Kelly:                            I bet. Do you have any sports superstitions? As an athlete do you have to do something every time you golf? Olivia:                           Um, I talked about it with my dad a lot and I&#8217;m like, I have to like our first tournament, I shot 66 last year. So our first tournament this season, I saw actually six and I had this nail color on my nails, so I put it on my nails before I played in the same tournament. And it, it wasn&#8217;t as, it wasn&#8217;t a six six but it was, it was, it was. Okay. Kelly:                            The luck wore off a little bit. A little bit. Nail Polish. What does that like a like a blue like a sky blue? Olivia:                           C13. Kelly:                            Oh C13. You know it. So you still have it on. It must be your good luck nail color. So I love that you dream big. When I was researching you, I love that. And you&#8217;ve had some success though in high school with um, playing for Lebanon Trail. Right? So you were back to back district champions and 2017, 18, 19 and UIL region two champs 18 and 19 and then in 2019 girls by age state runner up and there&#8217;s, I think there&#8217;s even more than that. So there&#8217;s a lot. Right. That&#8217;s been a good run so far. You&#8217;re seeing here, is this what you expected when you, you know, get started at Lebanon Trail to have this much success in golf? Olivia:                           Um, I think, no, to answer your question. No, it was so awesome to come in and start a new, and coach Carmichael has been amazing and he has had, he has formed this team and he has made us do things that we never even thought we could accomplish as a team. But as a 4A, as we were 4A, when we first opened, we won district, or our second year. Kelly:                            It&#8217;s pretty great. Olivia:                           No, we won our first year. Kelly:                            Oh you did? When did it open? Do you remember? Olivia:                           We opened 2016. So we won 2016 and then 2017 in the 4A district. We didn&#8217;t get out of regionals the first year. That was it. But I think the first district we ever played and we won, we were like, Oh, okay. That&#8217;s pretty like, Hey, Hey everyone, what&#8217;s going on? But I think that&#8217;s whenever we kind of started to realize, we were like, okay, we can do this. And then, so we went district, region, second and state our sophomore year. And then district region, second, and state our junior year. So it&#8217;s our time. We, yeah, it&#8217;s our time. We are ready. Kelly:                            You&#8217;re ready. And so as you finish up this &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. I&#8217;m filling in today and I&#8217;m happy because I get to chat with Angela Holt. How are you Angela? I&#8217;m good, thank you. How are you? I&#8217;m great. So this is funny cause this is not your first time joining us on the Frisco podcast. Right, right. So we love Jungle Joe&#8217;s so much that we keep working with you and wanting to let people in Frisco know all about Jungle Joe&#8217;s. So to do that can we just start off with a quick kind of intro and recap kind of what is Jungle Joe&#8217;s? Absolutely. Yes. So we are a cafe where kids can play, we call ourselves the kids cafe. We have the structure where the kids can run around and play and all different kinds of kids activities, arts and crafts Monday through Friday. And the parents can come in and chill, relax. We&#8217;re smaller than most indoor plays and they can work, they can have coffee, they can have good food. And then we have other things like birthday parties and camps and all the other kid related items as well. So you are what, three and a half years into Jungle Joe&#8217;s? Yes ma&#8217;am. Three and a half years. You&#8217;ve probably learned a lot right by now and I&#8217;m sure things are smoothing out. Um, so some of the things I kind of want to ask you about that maybe have evolved or changed, um, lately since um, some of our listeners have gone into Jungle Joe&#8217;s. One thing I noticed last time I was in there, the menu I feel like, and then I know that you do some specials. I saw chicken tacos or something the other day. So yeah, like your menu has um, expanded and maybe evolved and I don&#8217;t know all these things. So tell me about what you guys are doing over there on the cafe side of things. Yeah. Well we have a Jen who has been an employee there for, gosh, almost three years now. So with her help, we&#8217;ve been able to bring on some new menu items over the summer. We had a really good roasted veggie wrap and then we had a summer salad with fruit and tomatoes and cucumbers and it was really good. And then she makes a phenomenal tortilla soup that we&#8217;re bringing back on the menu for the winter that we&#8217;re going to start doing here now that it&#8217;s starting to get cold. That sounds good. Yeah, it is. That&#8217;s what I think is interesting. It&#8217;s not, you know, I&#8217;ve, I&#8217;ve had plenty of mommy play dates or coffee play dates. Right, right. Um, or coffee meetups. Um, but it&#8217;s not your kind of typical like there&#8217;s a croissant over there or a donut or I don&#8217;t know, pastries here and there. Like it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s full-blown fresh, real food that you want to eat. We make everything fresh. Yeah. Nothing is frozen. We roast our vegetables, we make our soup, we make our salad dressings. It&#8217;s chemo parables. We do everything. Everything in house. Yes. So then let&#8217;s talk about, um, the day parts. So you have breakfast, what are all the different day parts of food you offer? Yes. So we just brought on our brunch menu that we started less than a month ago. So now on Saturdays and Sundays you can come in and not only order off our full menu, but we have a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon or sausage. Um, we have really, really good homemade methods that are a weekend supervisor makes that are carrot or carrot with chocolate or carrot with nuts. They&#8217;re fantastic. Um, and then there&#8217;s other things that we&#8217;ve always offered, like our breakfast taco and our veggie breakfast taco and different things like that. So there&#8217;s a good variety of things that you can order on that menu as well. And that served till one o&#8217;clock on Saturday and Sundays. The brunch menu, the new brunch menu. Okay. I didn&#8217;t know about that. I&#8217;ll have to check that out. Yeah. And I must say like I don&#8217;t have, let&#8217;s talk about the age range cause I was going to talk about how Mike, how I relate to Jungle Joe&#8217;s. What is the primary age range of the kiddos that are in their playing? I usually say eight and under. Okay. Kids are welcome, but we are a smaller, we&#8217;re 3,500 square feet and the structure is not huge. But that&#8217;s the beauty of Jungle Joe&#8217;s in the customer feedback we get is that it&#8217;s not huge. Parents really can sit and have a nice lunch and talk to their mommy friends and, and grandparents bring in their, their, uh, grandchildren. I actually speak to them a lot and not just them, but a few of them have come up to me lately and just been like, thank you for having a place that we can come and hang out and not have to be running around everywhere and chasing the kid. Yeah. Be comfortable and not, you know, I have thankfully grandparents that help us with things too and with kids and you &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host Kelly Walker. I&#8217;m filling in today and I&#8217;m happy because I get to chat with Angela Holt. How are you Angela? I&#8217;m good, thank you. How are you? I&#8217;m great. So this is funny cause this is not your first time joining us on the Frisco podcast. Right, right. So we love Jungle Joe&#8217;s so much that we keep working with you and wanting to let people in Frisco know all about Jungle Joe&#8217;s. So to do that can we just start off with a quick kind of intro and recap kind of what is Jungle Joe&#8217;s? Absolutely. Yes. So we are a cafe where kids can play, we call ourselves the kids cafe. We have the structure where the kids can run around and play and all different kinds of kids activities, arts and crafts Monday through Friday. And the parents can come in and chill, relax. We&#8217;re smaller than most indoor plays and they can work, they can have coffee, they can have good food. And then we have other things like birthday parties and camps and all the other kid related items as well. So you are what, three and a half years into Jungle Joe&#8217;s? Yes ma&#8217;am. Three and a half years. You&#8217;ve probably learned a lot right by now and I&#8217;m sure things are smoothing out. Um, so some of the things I kind of want to ask you about that maybe have evolved or changed, um, lately since um, some of our listeners have gone into Jungle Joe&#8217;s. One thing I noticed last time I was in there, the menu I feel like, and then I know that you do some specials. I saw chicken tacos or something the other day. So yeah, like your menu has um, expanded and maybe evolved and I don&#8217;t know all these things. So tell me about what you guys are doing over there on the cafe side of things. Yeah. Well we have a Jen who has been an employee there for, gosh, almost three years now. So with her help, we&#8217;ve been able to bring on some new menu items over the summer. We had a really good roasted veggie wrap and then we had a summer salad with fruit and tomatoes and cucumbers and it was really good. And then she makes a phenomenal tortilla soup that we&#8217;re bringing back on the menu for the winter that we&#8217;re going to start doing here now that it&#8217;s starting to get cold. That sounds good. Yeah, it is. That&#8217;s what I think is interesting. It&#8217;s not, you know, I&#8217;ve, I&#8217;ve had plenty of mommy play dates or coffee play dates. Right, right. Um, or coffee meetups. Um, but it&#8217;s not your kind of typical like there&#8217;s a croissant over there or a donut or I don&#8217;t know, pastries here and there. Like it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s full-blown fresh, real food that you want to eat. We make everything fresh. Yeah. Nothing is frozen. We roast our vegetables, we make our soup, we make our salad dressings. It&#8217;s chemo parables. We do everything. Everything in house. Yes. So then let&#8217;s talk about, um, the day parts. So you have breakfast, what are all the different day parts of food you offer? Yes. So we just brought on our brunch menu that we started less than a month ago. So now on Saturdays and Sundays you can come in and not only order off our full menu, but we have a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon or sausage. Um, we have really, really good homemade methods that are a weekend supervisor makes that are carrot or carrot with chocolate or carrot with nuts. They&#8217;re fantastic. Um, and then there&#8217;s other things that we&#8217;ve always offered, like our breakfast taco and our veggie breakfast taco and different things like that. So there&#8217;s a good variety of things that you can order on that menu as well. And that served till one o&#8217;clock on Saturday and Sundays. The brunch menu, the new brunch menu. Okay. I didn&#8217;t know about that. I&#8217;ll have to check that out. Yeah. And I must say like I don&#8217;t have, let&#8217;s talk about the age range cause I was going to talk about how Mike, how I relate to Jungle Joe&#8217;s. What is the primary age range of the kiddos that are in their playing? I usually say eight and under. Okay. Kids are welcome, but we are a smaller, we&#8217;re 3,500 square feet and the structure is not huge. But that&#8217;s the beauty of Jungle Joe&#8217;s in the customer feedback we get is that it&#8217;s not huge. Parents really can sit and have a nice lunch and talk to their mommy friends and, and grandparents bring in their, their, uh, grandchildren. I actually speak to them a lot and not just them, but a few of them have come up to me lately and just been like, thank you for having a place that we can come and hang out and not have to be running around everywhere and chasing the kid. Yeah. Be comfortable and not, you know, I have thankfully grandparents that help us with things too and with kids and you &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

He tells us about watching greats like Kevin Garnett and Ben Wallace, why he believes in defense, and most importantly, how he&#8217;s bringing his defensive prowess to the Legends this year. Our co-host Brandon May talks with Chad about the satisfaction of being a shot blocker, the timing to get it right, being a rebounder, and growing up with a twin sister who also plays basketball. Chad&#8217;s intense and competitive, and we love it. &#160; Show Notes [:30] Quick hits with Chad Brown [2:40] Why #21? [3:40] Blocked Shots &#38; Defensive mindset [7:15] &#8220;The Beast&#8221; nickname and playing with Tacko Fall [10:45] Chad&#8217;s twin sister [12:35] Next level from college to NBA [15:10] No 3s??

So of course Hustle and Pro is talking to the Legends. We&#8217;ve got Chad Brown with us today. How are you today Chad? Chad Brown:                 I&#8217;m doing great. I&#8217;m doing great. Kelly Walker:                Awesome. We&#8217;ve also got a cohost, my favorite basketball writer, Brandon May. How&#8217;s it going Brandon? Brandon May:               It&#8217;s going very well. Kelly :                           All right, so Chad, we do some fast quick hits to get to know our guests. So before we jump into some, some, uh, long-winded questions and answers, I want to ask you a couple of quick hits. Okay. Like who is your favorite athlete of all time? Chad:                           Um, my favorite athlete of all time. I&#8217;ll definitely say LeBron James. Kelly :                           So I always ask people what their favorite sport to play is. You&#8217;re a professional basketball player, so I&#8217;m going to go with that. But just in case you have another answer. Is basketball your favorite sport? Chad:                           Um, yes. I mean, I definitely love basketball. Um, but also love football too. Uh, I played football when I was younger, so, um, football and basketball. My two favorite sports. That, Kelly :                           How long did you play football? I ha until, what age? Chad:                           Um, I actually played football before I started playing basketball. Um, so I played basketball, football when I was, I wanna say when I was 10 years old, I started playing football and then started playing basketball when I was 12, so. Kelly :                           All right. So if you had to pick one, is your favorite to watch? Chad:                           Uh, definitely basketball, definitely basketball, basketball, just the intensity of going up and down. Um, the excitement. Um, football is very exciting as well too, but it&#8217;s nothing like just watching, you know, players go up and down. They compete at a high level. So I&#8217;d definitely say basketball, Kelly :                           The pace of it. Do you have any sports, superstitions? [inaudible] Anything you&#8217;ve got to do on game day or you know, practices or anything that you have to have just right to make it all work for you? Chad:                           Um, I would say just the music that I listened to. Um, I&#8217;m a very intense and, uh, high energy player. Um, so to calm me down in certain ways, I have to listen to reggaeton, um, before I play and before I practice. Um, which kinda like soothes me a little bit, um, before I played. So that&#8217;s, I would say that would be one of my superstitions. Kelly :                           Good. It&#8217;s like a routine. I think everybody&#8217;s gotta have their routine to get you comfortable and ready and the right in the right frame of mind. Right. Chad:                           Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Yes. Kelly :                           Alright, Brandon, what you got, I know you&#8217;ve got a question for Chad. Brandon:                      Oh well I would go on to the quick hits, number 21, is there any meaning behind that? Any favorite player that that&#8217;s attached to Florida guys at Dion? Chad:                           Yeah, I mean not Dion. Dion Is definitely a, I could think of Dion. But you know, playing basketball, my favorite, my favorite basketball player when I was growing up and just watching this intensity and how he play with was um, Kevin Garnett that, um, just sees his intensity and his passion for the game. Um, which I, which, which kind of drove me to wearing 21. Um, cause you know, he had 21 when he was with the Timberwolves and um, you know, just his energy and his passion for the game. Um, just kinda what separates himself from other guys. And um, that&#8217;s where I feel like, um, what separates me from other guys as well. Brandon:                      No, that&#8217;s, that makes perfect sense because my followup question cause I&#8217;m just curious, so cause I was doing research before you came in. Um, so you almost averaged a triple double the hard way your senior year in high school. Yeah. Yeah. Like usually it&#8217;s assists use block shots. Right. Then if I&#8217;m not mistaken, you almost, uh, you were almost a hundred block shots, your college career, right? Right. Yes. How satisfying is that to just totally stuff a dude when he&#8217;s coming in the lane? Chad:                           Um, I mean it, I think it goes back just to the intensity I play with and the energy I play with. Um, I, I don&#8217;t like anything easy, uh, in the pain. Um, I&#8217;m a very competitive guy. Um, so even if somebody does score on me, um, I take it personally. So, so now, I mean I definitely, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s my motivation. That&#8217;s my drive is defense. I love playing the game. Um, defensively I love offense as well, but I, I believe defense wins championships and um, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m all about. Um, &#8230;]]></description>

So before we jump into some, some, uh, long-winded questions and answers, I want to ask you a couple of quick hits. Okay. Like who is your favorite athlete of all time? Chad:                           Um, my favorite athlete of all time. I&#8217;ll definitely say LeBron James. Kelly :                           So I always ask people what their favorite sport to play is. You&#8217;re a professional basketball player, so I&#8217;m going to go with that. But just in case you have another answer. Is basketball your favorite sport? Chad:                           Um, yes. I mean, I definitely love basketball. Um, but also love football too. Uh, I played football when I was younger, so, um, football and basketball. My two favorite sports. That, Kelly :                           How long did you play football? I ha until, what age? Chad:                           Um, I actually played football before I started playing basketball. Um, so I played basketball, football when I was, I wanna say when I was 10 years old, I started playing football and then started playing basketball when I was 12, so. Kelly :                           All right. So if you had to pick one, is your favorite to watch? Chad:                           Uh, definitely basketball, definitely basketball, basketball, just the intensity of going up and down. Um, the excitement. Um, football is very exciting as well too, but it&#8217;s nothing like just watching, you know, players go up and down. They compete at a high level. So I&#8217;d definitely say basketball, Kelly :                           The pace of it. Do you have any sports, superstitions? [inaudible] Anything you&#8217;ve got to do on game day or you know, practices or anything that you have to have just right to make it all work for you? Chad:                           Um, I would say just the music that I listened to. Um, I&#8217;m a very intense and, uh, high energy player. Um, so to calm me down in certain ways, I have to listen to reggaeton, um, before I play and before I practice. Um, which kinda like soothes me a little bit, um, before I played. So that&#8217;s, I would say that would be one of my superstitions. Kelly :                      ]]></itunes:summary>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellison. Today I am joined by Jeb and Bryan, you know them as Tumbleweed Texstyles. Good to have you with us today, guys. Thanks for having us. Yeah, appreciate it. Always fun to chat with you guys. And we&#8217;re going to get into talking a little shop today, but we&#8217;re going to talk about business specifically, not just Tumbleweed Texstyles, but before we get into all of that, give me an update, like what&#8217;s been new with you guys? What&#8217;s happening, what&#8217;s, what&#8217;s going down? Well, um, we&#8217;re in the middle of our fall season, so we&#8217;ve launched, been launching quite a few tee shirts and hats and things. Uh, here recently we&#8217;ve got a few new items coming up. Um, of course we&#8217;re gearing up for, uh, a big holiday season. You know, this is usually kind of our busier time of the year as far as e-commerce goes. Uh, so October, November, we really get going, especially with like black Friday and everybody, uh, shopping for Christmas. So that&#8217;s kind of on our, uh, immediate, uh, mine&#8217;s, you know, right now. Uh, we&#8217;ve also got our, uh, our store, our first brick and mortar store that&#8217;s going to be coming in, uh, at the patios, at the rails, uh, there at South County in Maine. And so, um, that&#8217;s under construction at the moment. So we&#8217;re hoping that&#8217;s going to be opening up, uh, the first of the new year. So that&#8217;s another thing we&#8217;re kind of preparing, uh, with as far as, uh, dealing with architects and contractors and trying to get all that stuff figured out how the build out&#8217;s gonna look. So yeah, we are definitely excited for that. That&#8217;s really cool that you guys are gonna have a bricks and mortar place that people can go in and shop is going to be all t-shirts. Now. It&#8217;s not going to be all t-shirts. We&#8217;re going to try and, um, that&#8217;s another kind of exciting thing. We, we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re kinda gonna branch out a little bit and kind of do some, um, some more, uh, some different types of apparel. Um, you know, we&#8217;re, we have hoodies, long sleeves, um, some collared shirts, things of that nature. But then we&#8217;re also gonna carry our glassware. Um, some artwork, um, books, I mean, just kind of a whole, you know, run the gamut, a lot of different items. Okay. Sounds like fun. Yeah. And part of that as an extension to what&#8217;s going on is we&#8217;re also still growing our wholesale, um, partners. So we actually just signed up a deal with hallmark and so we have 30 stores in the area that we&#8217;ll be carrying our shirts, which is exciting, a little different target audience than we&#8217;ve had in the past. Um, continuing to grow our wholesalers like buckle Tyler&#8217;s rally house, um, as they grow our products throughout the state and maybe even extending outside of the state one day I&#8217;m carrying our products in their stores there as well. Um, but also about the products. Uh, you know, we, we were trying to grow beyond just the teacher guys. And so with our store, we&#8217;re hoping to kind of live off of our, our motto drift and explore and, uh, kind of become a lifestyle brand with tee shirts, glassware, um, home decor, uh, different things that make us more than just your, I guess, concert, a bar brand, but also said that you can go camping and hiking and fishing and kind of live the outdoors and the different Texas lifestyle. I love it. Yeah, it&#8217;s funny. I think one of the, the advantages that you guys have, uh, is that Texas has, every state has some to some degree in identity, but Texas really has a strong, very recognizable identity no matter where you go. So I, I&#8217;ve traveled a bit internationally and any time I&#8217;ve been somewhere where I tell the person I&#8217;m from Texas that I&#8217;ve met, they like, they instantly light up. They have this vision of what Texas means in their mind. Um, in two distinct stories. I remember one was, uh, a cab driver in London as soon as I got in the cab and he said, where are you from? I said, Dallas, Texas. I was living in Dallas at the time. I was not in Frisco. Um, but he, all he wanted to do was talk about the Dallas Cowboys, um, the whole time. And he was fascinated by that. And then in another occasion, um, I was actually visiting a resort in Bulgaria and we were on the beach and we had a, &#8230;]]></description>

On this episode of Hustle and Pro, we welcome to the show one of Lone Star High School&#8217;s football team captains, Jake Bogdon. Like any good team player, Jake talks less about his own individual success and more about how his team focuses on the upcoming game rather than the noise surrounding the undefeated team. He&#8217;s been called a Swiss Army Knife because of his skills on and off the field, and even switched positions from receiver to running back for his senior year. Each week they aspire to get better as a team and have stepped it up this season to improve practices and leadership. It seems to be working for them. We&#8217;re watching Lone Star HS do their thing and enjoying their success as they represent Frisco ISD very well. Show Notes [:35] Quick hits with Jake Bogdon [1:40] Jake&#8217;s multi-sport history [3:00] Highlights for Lone Star Football so far this season [4:18] Turf/Indoor vs under the lights [5:30] Swiss Army Knife &#38; Boggy nicknames [8:36] Lone Star&#8217;s season, leadership and stepping up [10:00] Jake&#8217;s plans for college &#38; adapting this season [16:15] Toughest part even with success Resources within this episode:  Frisco ISD Athletics: Website Lone Star High School Football: Website Connect with Lifestyle Frisco:  Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter LinkedIn Transcript: (machine-generated) Kelly Walker:                On today&#8217;s episode of hustle and pro, we have a representative of none other than lone star high school&#8217;s number one ranked football team. This is so exciting for me. So Jake Bogdan, how are you Jake? Jake Bogdon:                I&#8217;m good. How are you? I&#8217;m great. Kelly Walker:                Thanks for stopping in today. So besides letting everybody know that you&#8217;re killing it right now on the field, um, we&#8217;re going to talk more about that of course. But I have some quick hits to get to know you a little bit better. Are you ready? Who is your all time favorite athlete? Jake Bogdon:                I&#8217;m a big Hershel Walker fan because that was my uncle&#8217;s favorite player. Ah, yeah.

Jake Bogdon:                I think I&#8217;ve gone to Houston for a baseball tournament before. Kelly Walker:                Okay. One more.

So how long did you play those other sports? Jake Bogdon:                Well I&#8217;d played them, I think I started playing them in when I was in like third grade and then baseball, I think I stopped playing in sixth grade in basketball. My last year was in eighth grade. Kelly Walker:                Okay. So when you got to high school, did you just focus on football? You knew that was going to be your one thing? Football these four years? Jake Bogdon:                Yeah, just football and well they make us do track and of course track. Kelly Walker:                So I wondered that you didn&#8217;t say it but I thought, I thought a lot of football players do track. Kind of an off season conditioning keep healthy kind of thing. Jake Bogdon:                Right. Sport as much as it doesn&#8217;t work out so. Jake Bogdon:                Do you do like track? You do? Jake Bogdon:                Yeah, the meets are fun. Kelly Walker:                Okay, good. What do you, what&#8217;s your event. Jake Bogdon:                I ran the four one one last year. Kelly Walker:                Okay. Yeah. Are you guys good at track? Jake Bogdon:                Decent. Kelly Walker:                Not as good as you are right now in football. So you guys are having pretty much the most amazing season, right? Yes ma&#8217;am. Tell me, so tell me what your seasons has been like so far and like what&#8217;s the biggest highlights? You&#8217;ve had some big things, right? So what has been your highlight? Jake Bogdon:                No, we try to like not focus on some of the big things that we&#8217;ve done and we just try and focus on our team. So I think the highlights for us is that we just keep getting better each week. I feel like, cause last game was like a real test to show like how good we really were. And so, uh, I think I&#8217;m proud of how we&#8217;ve gotten better each week. Kelly Walker:                So last week was the colony? Yes. And it was a close game? Yes. Was it y&#8217;alls closest so far? Jake Bogdon:                I would say yes, it came down to the end. Yeah. Kelly Walker:                And you ended up being the one, did you have like a 40 yard? 55 yard, 55 yard. Was it four minutes left? Something out with a four. I feel like. Okay. At the end of the game you scored a touchdown and that was the go ahead and you guys ended up beating them. . Yes. So that&#8217;s a pretty big highlight. You didn&#8217;t say Highland park, but that was probably a pretty, pretty awesome win also. &#8230;]]></description>

On this episode of Hustle and Pro, we welcome to the show one of Lone Star High School&#8217;s football team captains, Jake Bogdon.

Each week they aspire to get better as a team and have stepped it up this season to improve practices and leadership. It seems to be working for them.

Hits that we still dance to today&#8230; On November 2, 2019, KC invites you to come out and shake your booty for a &#8220;Boogie Bash&#8221; at Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas. SHOW NOTES: [00:44] KC and the Sunshine Band in Frisco, Texas on November 2, 2019 [00:52] The origin of the name &#8220;KC and the Sunshine Band&#8221; [02:28] Early influences [04:15] Establishing longevity [08:18] The Show Experience (what to look forward to) [9:45] Dallas/KC and the live debut of &#8220;Shake Your Booty&#8221; LINKS &#38; RESOURCES: KC and The Sunshine Band Website Get tickets to the Nov 2, 2019 Frisco Show Connect with Lifestyle Frisco on:  YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Transcript Machine Generated All right Frisco. We are very fortunate today to have a very special guest with us, none other than KC from KC and the Sunshine Band. KC, thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. How&#8217;s everything? Everything is going great. We&#8217;re looking forward to having you in Frisco very soon. So, uh, how&#8217;s the tour going so far? Well, it&#8217;s always going great. I mean, I do mostly weekends, so, um, I&#8217;m looking forward to coming to Frisco. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever been to actually Frisco and, uh, coming, you know, with the band and having a good time with you, with everyone. Well, very good. So for everybody listening to us, KC and the Sunshine Band are going to be here at Comerica center on November the second, so that&#8217;s coming up very quickly. Be sure to go out and get your tickets for that. Uh, but KC, why don&#8217;t we have you, I wanted to just kind of get a little bit more about you and some of the background on the band. And the first question I have is how did you come up with the name, the Sunshine band? Uh, my last name is KC and I worked in a record store in the prefix for Columbia records at the time was aK and a C. and, um, so when I&#8217;m coming up for the name, there was no band. It was just me really. So, um, I had been to a wedding and I saw this chunk of new band and so I made this record and I thought, well, I&#8217;ll just call the KC and the Sunshine Band from the state of Florida. And it was actually KC, the Sunshine junk, a new band, what I called it. And, uh, we, we, I dropped the junk and after the second record, cause it was kinda just too long to go on playlist and everything like that. Totally makes sense. So, and when did you actually form, uh, formed the band? Uh, the day I put out the first record actually, I mean, you have to understand that there was really no band. Uh, it was just studio musicians that I used and, and, and hired to, to play on the records. And, um, uh, all of a sudden I start becoming successful with this name and there&#8217;s no bands. So eventually, um, after the second album or whatever, I have to get down at night or those started happening, I just went to the, some of the guys who were playing on the record and asked, you know, would you be part of, you know, Gladys as KC and the Sunshine Band. Oh, very good. And in terms of, of the music you write, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a lot of fun. It&#8217;s very danceable. Um, what were some of the early influences for you in, in the stylistically the type of music that you&#8217;ve been putting on? Well, I&#8217;ve always just all kinds of music around. Like my mother loved music. My mother loved more B music. My father could care less about any kind of music, I think. Um, I mean he enjoyed it, but I don&#8217;t think he ever bought a radio or anything in his life. Um, um, which is not a bad thing. And my father was the most amazing person to have, either one, like downplaying my father&#8217;s being somewhat bad person, but, um, uh, so I grew up listening to, to that. I grew up in the gospel church. Uh, and, uh, so I, I gravitated more towards RNB music. Um, you know, the gray ends up in the Motown sound that definitely a lot of the Motown sound and, uh, you know, the greater reach of Franklin stop with all the horns and the stacks stop with Sam and Dave and, uh, you know, Johnny Taylor and then all the LATIC stumble, Wilson Pickett and, um, you know, just all that great R and B music at the time. And then there we came along, then came James Brown, of course James Brown. And uh, then later on it was like Joe Cocker and Englishman. Uh, uh, I just, you know, that whole scene. And then there was Chicago and blood, sweat and tears. So it just kind of grabbed me, you know, from what I think I, I was just, I was influenced by a little bit of everybody, but probably more by Motown than, than anyone. I would think totally makes sense. And there are certainly a lot of that reflected I think in the music that we hear. Um, knowing that we were going to have a chance to chat a little bit today, I&#8217;ve been going back and listening to a lot more of the old songs and you can certainly hear that Motown influence in that. Um, another interesting aspect of your music to me has been the longevity. You&#8217;ve written songs that people still love to listen, to, still love to go out and dance to and, and have a good time.

We are very fortunate today to have a very special guest with us, none other than KC from KC and the Sunshine Band. KC, thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. How&#8217;s everything? Everything is going great. We&#8217;re looking forward to having you in Frisco very soon. So, uh, how&#8217;s the tour going so far? Well, it&#8217;s always going great. I mean, I do mostly weekends, so, um, I&#8217;m looking forward to coming to Frisco. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever been to actually Frisco and, uh, coming, you know, with the band and having a good time with you, with everyone. Well, very good. So for everybody listening to us, KC and the Sunshine Band are going to be here at Comerica center on November the second, so that&#8217;s coming up very quickly. Be sure to go out and get your tickets for that. Uh, but KC, why don&#8217;t we have you, I wanted to just kind of get a little bit more about you and some of the background on the band. And the first question I have is how did you come up with the name, the Sunshine band? Uh, my last name is KC and I worked in a record store in the prefix for Columbia records at the time was aK and a C. and, um, so when I&#8217;m coming up for the name, there was no band. It was just me really. So, um, I had been to a wedding and I saw this chunk of new band and so I made this record and I thought, well, I&#8217;ll just call the KC and the Sunshine Band from the state of Florida. And it was actually KC, the Sunshine junk, a new band, what I called it. And, uh, we, we, I dropped the junk and after the second record, cause it was kinda just too long to go on playlist and everything like that. Totally makes sense. So, and when did you actually form, uh, formed the band? Uh, the day I put out the first record actually, I mean, you have to understand that there was really no band. Uh, it was just studio musicians that I used and, and, and hired to, to play on the records. And, um, uh, all of a sudden I start becoming successful with this name and there&#8217;s no bands. So eventually, um, after the second album or whatever, I have to get down at night or those started happening, I just went to the, some of the guys who were playing on the record and asked, you know, would you be part of, you know, Gladys as KC and the Sunshine Band. Oh, very good. And in terms of, of the music you write, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a lot of fun. It&#8217;s very danceable. Um, what were some of the early influences for you in, in the stylistically the type of music that you&#8217;ve been putting on? Well, I&#8217;ve always just all kinds of music around. Like my mother loved music. My mother loved more B music. My father could care less about any kind of music, I think. Um, I mean he enjoyed it, but I don&#8217;t think he ever bought a radio or anything in his life. Um, um, which is not a bad thing. And my father was the most amazing person to have, either one, like downplaying my father&#8217;s being somewhat bad person, but, um, uh, so I grew up listening to, to that. I grew up in the gospel church. Uh, and, uh, so I, I gravitated more towards RNB music.]]></itunes:summary>

It&#8217;s a hugely popular sport with innovative technology, highly skilled (and highly paid) drivers and the latest and greatest in auto manufacturers competing against each other.

Whether you&#8217;re a fan already or a new one like me, enjoy the ride on this episode. Show Notes [:45] Quick hits with Suad [3:50] Formula 1 Overview [6:10] Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull Racing and more [9:50] Well-known tracks in F1 [14:00] Circuit of the Americas [16:18] Upcoming races remaining this season: Austin Nov 1-3 [21:43] Drivers &#8211; favorites and up and coming [26:46] Formula 1&#8217;s popularity [31:20] Photography and F1 Resources within this episode:  Suad Bejtovic: Website &#124; Instagram: suadbphoto &#124; Facebook: SuadBejtovicPhotography Formula 1: Website Circuit of the Americas: Nov 1-3 Race Information Connect with Lifestyle Frisco:  Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter LinkedIn Transcript: (machine-generated) Kelly Walker: If you aren&#8217;t a Formula One fan yet I hope you will be by the end of this episode cause we&#8217;re talking Formula One today with our own Suad Bejtovic. He&#8217;s here to catch us up to speed. See what I did? Speed. Speed on F1. So hi, Suad. How&#8217;s it going?  Suad Bejtovic: I&#8217;m good. How are you?  Kelly: I’m fantastic. I&#8217;m excited to learn more. Now this is another one of those things where I am not an expert in this field, but you&#8217;re going to fill me in and teach me and my listeners a little bit about it. So before we jump into that stuff, I do want to get some quick hits and learn some of your favorites. I&#8217;m anxious to hear about a couple of these things. Okay. Who would you say is your favorite athlete of all time?  Suad: Favorite athlete of all time. It was a close race between Mike Modano and Dirk Nowitzki. But, over the last, like 5 to 10 years since Modano retired it would probably have to be Dirk.  Kelly: What about your all time favorite team?  Suad: All time favorite team? That&#8217;s a good question because I&#8217;m European and I&#8217;m going to mention that several times today. I&#8217;m more of a soccer guy than anything else. So I&#8217;m, you know, I like a lot of the English premier league teams, you know, like Chelsea or Liverpool. Um, so that, those would probably be my favorite. Yeah. I would have to add, FC Roma, an Italian, Serie A, because, one of the great Bosnian players is playing there.  Kelly: Oh, okay. Yeah. You and Jack will have to talk. He is now a Chelsea fan okay, because of Pulisic. So he&#8217;s got his Chelsea gear now. So next time you see him, you guys can talk, talk all things Chelsea, right? Um, so what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play?  Suad: I&#8217;m not very coordinated. And I don&#8217;t do well in team sports. Uh, but I, I&#8217;m a little bit of a runner, so I like running. But as far as team sports, uh, I like running around a soccer field. I played some indoor soccer here in the leagues in Frisco. And I usually just stay away from the ball, bring a defender over to my side so the other guys can score goals.  Kelly: What about your favorite sport to watch?  Suad: A favorite sport to watch has to be soccer. Uh, but I, I enjoy a couple of others. Um, tennis is one of them. I love watching tennis, especially on the highest level. And of course Formula One, which we&#8217;ll talk about today.  Kelly: Yes. Now I&#8217;m curious about this one. Farthest distance you&#8217;ve traveled to watch sports or to play sports. I doubt it&#8217;s playing it yourself, but maybe to watch sports.  Suad: Ooh, that&#8217;s an interesting one. I can&#8217;t quite, Oh, well, yeah. Okay. So that, that kinda ties into what we&#8217;re talking about today. Uh, cause I did travel to Austin for the inaugural Formula One race in 2012 when the racetrack just opened a, it was a brand new thing and I was kind of expecting it to, uh, to be pretty cool because it&#8217;s been building for about a year and a half. I think they started construction 2010. So when the race rolled around, yeah, I traveled. It&#8217;s not a big distance, I suppose, you know, a 250 or so miles. But uh, but yeah, that&#8217;s a,  Kelly: So I was expecting you to say European soccer.  Suad: Well yeah, but most of those were in my backyard, although one time when I went back to Bosnia to visit my parents and my family, which is where I&#8217;m from, uh, my sister took me to one of the local teams, uh, soccer games. So even though that&#8217;s still kind of my backyard, I traveled about 6,000 miles to go see that soccer game. So, you know, maybe that counts.  Kelly: Seems far. All right, let&#8217;s talk Formula One. So first, I guess maybe just give us a little overview. I mean, people like me know that it&#8217;s racing, but there&#8217;s lots of forms of racing. And I thought, okay, I&#8217;ve been at Texas Motor Speedway, I&#8217;ve seen NASCAR races, I&#8217;ve seen IndyCar races, there&#8217;s other races. So like, what&#8217;s the, the summary of what are we talking about when we say Formula One?  Suad: Formula One is basically the highest level of motor sports. It&#8217;s open-wheel racing. So the cars kind of look like IndyCar racing, uh, IndyCar race or cars. However, they don&#8217;t necessarily compete on ovals. Uh, they are all on road tracks. They are either purposefully built road circuits or on a couple of &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we&#8217;re gonna stretch out a little bit and we&#8217;re going to talk about yoga. We have Mary Von Ahnan, sorry about that. And Sally Scott from Horizon Hot Yoga in the room. Welcome to the show. Good to have you both here. Uh, my wife is a huge yoga fan. In fact, Sally, she was in your class this morning and I&#8217;ve done a little bit of yoga myself. I don&#8217;t do it as consistently as I should, but I&#8217;ve always enjoyed hot yoga. It&#8217;s hard, but it always feels good. Um, first of all, why don&#8217;t we start off talking just a little bit about Horizon and how that got started. When did you come to Frisco and what made you want to do the yoga studio? So we started our business in January of 2018 and my husband and I had been searching for something that we both enjoyed and could do together. I&#8217;ve practiced yoga since 2007 and Mike, maybe just a few years after that, started his yoga practice. And I think Frisco was such an attractive growing community and also just a community that embraces small business. Um, we really had a vision for our studio to be inclusive of anyone and we love it that we&#8217;re living that dream. Um, Sally, we&#8217;ll talk a little bit about her perspective on our community as well, but we do feel like we&#8217;re a place for, for anyone yoga should be for everyone. So we offer a number of different styles so that you can come and find your style. What really fits you? Um, our community ranges in age greatly. Um, race, body type. I mean we, we are inclusive, so, uh, that was really important to us to have a community that made everyone comfortable. Yeah. Yoga definitely is one of the those fitness slash wellness areas that seems to really foster community a lot. People kind of get into it, they get into it together and everybody&#8217;s there to learn and improve their practice and, and do well. So I&#8217;m glad to hear you guys are having success with that. Yes. Um, Sally, did you want to talk a little bit about the, the community itself at Horizon? What&#8217;s it like? What&#8217;s the experience? What is the community experience like for somebody that comes to Horizon and think of it as somebody coming for the first time, what would they expect It is like no other. And I can just say that it started with great owners who had this great vision, great vision for teachers who love their students. Um, and when you walk into the doors, you are greeted. You are more than likely hugged. We tend to be a little touchy, huggy, loving community. Um, but they just, I think the moment that they walk in, they, they feel it. They&#8217;re greeted, the teachers love their students and they keep coming back. In fact, they, they, they might stay a while each day. They might take several classes every day and they, they feel it and you become, you become friends. I became just like, you&#8217;re a new family. But that is truly the feeling that you get when you come to horizon. How long have you been teaching yoga there? Since we opened the doors from the beginning. Right out of the gate. Okay, good. Glad to hear it. Best decision ever. So, Mary, what are, what are some of the things beyond just the community aspect of it that you feel make Horizon yoga unique compared to other yoga studios? Sally touched on it. I do feel as if we, we pay hand picked our teachers. I&#8217;m very careful about hiring experienced teachers, um, that really understand their, their, the depth of their style. We offer multiple styles. I think I counted 10 plus. We have two rooms and so we, you know, and they&#8217;re each built out differently. So our, our hot 26 classes kind of, it&#8217;s the classic beat from yoga and it&#8217;s a very different room, a very different type of yoga than classic Vinyasa for example. So I D I do feel like having multiple styles where you can get different needs met in different classes. I mean, Wendy would tell you that, you know, she&#8217;s taken three or four different types at our studio. Um, normally you go to a studio and you get &#8230;]]></description>

Have you dreamed of checking great American baseball ballparks off your bucket list? Me too, and we aren&#8217;t alone. In this episode of Hustle and Pro, we talk to Vicki Sohn, who has quite a list of ballparks and breweries pinned on her wall. As the friendly face who greets you at the front office of the Frisco RoughRiders, Vicki has stories going back to day one at the ballpark in Frisco, including getting to meet one of her favorites &#8211; Pudge. Vicki and her husband have 26 ballparks pinned on their wall, and, of course, there are more in their sights. This love of ballparks started as a way to visit ballparks and breweries on family vacations when her kids were little. We talk through Vicki&#8217;s list and then some, including what&#8217;s going on in Arlington. Join our ballpark chat and add some to your own bucket list! Show Notes [:40] Quick hits with Vicki Sohn [3:00] Vicki&#8217;s Ballpark List Story [6:30] Fenway, Comerica, Camden Yards, Anaheim, Wrigley / Jelly Belly, and more [10:30] Ballparks long gone: Astrodome, Shea Stadium, Candlestick and more [14:00] Minor league ballparks [17:10] Arlington Stadium and Globe Life Park Memories [21:00] Dr Pepper Ballpark Favorites and Memories Resources within this episode:  Frisco RoughRiders: Website &#124; Dr Pepper Ballpark Texas Rangers: Website Ballparks of Baseball Website Connect with Lifestyle Frisco:  Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter LinkedIn Transcript (machine created): This is Hustle and Pro with Kelly Walker. Join Kelly as she talk sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee league to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker.  Kelly: Welcome to Hustle and Pro. All this talk lately about Globe Life Park got me thinking about ballparks. I was talking to some of my friends over at the Roughriders and I found out that one of their own is a bit of a ballpark junkie and has some cool stories. So I had to have her on here. So welcome Vicki.  Vicki: Thank you so much for inviting me.  Kelly: Yes, I&#8217;m glad to have you. I&#8217;m excited to hear about your ballpark adventures and some lists that you have built. But first let&#8217;s get to know you a little bit. So who is your favorite athlete?  Vicki: Well, has to be Pudge.  Kelly: I love Pudge.  Vicki: Yes. And I&#8217;ve, I&#8217;ve been very lucky that when he comes to the Roughriders, um, I&#8217;ve had the chance to, you know, chit chat with him a little bit, got to meet his brother last time, um, or the last year, one of the last times he came. Um, he had his golf clubs in his trunk of his car and he asked me if, if he would bring them in, if I&#8217;d watch them for him. So I said sure. And of course I had to take a little peak and they all have number seven, um, and Pudge written on each, you know, grade and each golf clubs. That was cool. Yeah, he is definitely my favorite. And now I&#8217;ve got to get back to Cooperstown to see his black.  Kelly: He&#8217;s a good one to be a favorite. I would love to play around of golf with old Pudge. That&#8217;d be fun. Who&#8217;s your favorite team?  Vicki: Oh, well it has to be, I mean, it&#8217;s gotta be the Rangers, you know, growing up. Um, I&#8217;m from New York and um, my family, um, big Mets fans, my husband also from New York, big Yankee fan. And I think that&#8217;s part of why I think this kind of fueled the fire. So growing up, definitely a Mets fan, but now, um, we&#8217;ve lived here in Texas long enough that we are die hard Ranger fans.  Kelly: Sure. And you are affiliated with the Rangers’ Frisco team here, the Roughriders we should say. We&#8217;ll talk more about that too. But the Rangers are my team too. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to play? Are you a sports person that plays sports?  Vicki: Uh, does walking count as a sport?  Kelly: Ha. Um, it can. I took Walking in college.  Vicki: There you go. Okay. Well, um, back in college I actually was on several bowling teams. I was a fair bowler, but I haven&#8217;t done that in years.  Kelly: Yeah, bowling counts.  Vicki: Okay, good. Well then we&#8217;ll say bowling.  Kelly: How about the farthest distance that you&#8217;ve traveled to watch sports?  Vicki: Well, I would say, by plane it would be the Seattle Mariners and by car it would be the Angels, California.  Kelly: Okay. That&#8217;s gonna come up on our list then. So ballparks, so let&#8217;s talk about this. Tell me what’s behind, you know why Jennifer says, Oh, go talk to Vicki about ballparks. Why Vicki?  Vicki: Well, I&#8217;ve been to, I made a list. I&#8217;ve been to 21 ballparks and um, and that&#8217;s just major league. I&#8217;ve been to several, you know, minor league, but 21 ballparks and actually my husband&#8217;s been to five more than that. Um, he&#8217;s been to 26. So now let me qualify that by saying some of these were the older ballparks, like I&#8217;ve been to the old Yankee, I haven&#8217;t been to the new, you know, so.  Kelly: When like, when did this come about? When did you start sort of making this, this mental list of parks to visit?  Vicki: Well, um, we would, every year we would take our daughters, would go on vacation and the vacation was not complete if we didn&#8217;t do two things. One was to go on a brewery tour and the other was to go to a ballpark.  Vicki: We just, you know, we just enjoyed it so much and um, we just said, you know, this is fun. They&#8217;re all so unique. They&#8217;re all so different. I mean, they&#8217;re the same but different. I mean, they &#8230;]]></description>

Why Vicki?  Vicki: Well, I&#8217;ve been to, I made a list. I&#8217;ve been to 21 ballparks and um, and that&#8217;s just major league. I&#8217;ve been to several, you know, minor league, but 21 ballparks and actually my husband&#8217;s been to five more than that. Um, he&#8217;s been to 26. So now let me qualify that by saying some of these were the older ballparks, like I&#8217;ve been to the old Yankee, I haven&#8217;t been to the new, you know, so.  Kelly: When like, when did this come about? When did you start sort of making this, this mental list of parks to visit?  Vicki: Well, um, we would, every year we would take our daughters, would go on vacation and the vacation was not complete if we didn&#8217;t do two things. One was to go on a brewery tour and the other was to go to a ballpark.  Vicki: We just, you know, we just enjoyed it so much and um, we just said, you know, this is fun. They&#8217;re all so unique. They&#8217;re all so different. I mean, they&#8217;re the same but different. I mean, they &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

Join Kelly as she talk sports with players, coaches, organizers and entrepreneurs from Peewee league to Pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker.  Kelly: Welcome to Hustle and Pro. All this talk lately about Globe Life Park got me thinking about ballparks. I was talking to some of my friends over at the Roughriders and I found out that one of their own is a bit of a ballpark junkie and has some cool stories. So I had to have her on here. So welcome Vicki.  Vicki: Thank you so much for inviting me.  Kelly: Yes, I&#8217;m glad to have you. I&#8217;m excited to hear about your ballpark adventures and some lists that you have built. But first let&#8217;s get to know you a little bit. So who is your favorite athlete?  Vicki: Well, has to be Pudge.  Kelly: I love Pudge.  Vicki: Yes. And I&#8217;ve, I&#8217;ve been very lucky that when he comes to the Roughriders, um, I&#8217;ve had the chance to, you know, chit chat with him a little bit, got to meet his brother last time, um, or the last year, one of the last times he came. Um, he had his golf clubs in his trunk of his car and he asked me if, if he would bring them in, if I&#8217;d watch them for him. So I said sure. And of course I had to take a little peak and they all have number seven, um, and Pudge written on each, you know, grade and each golf clubs. That was cool. Yeah, he is definitely my favorite. And now I&#8217;ve got to get back to Cooperstown to see his black.  Kelly: He&#8217;s a good one to be a favorite. I would love to play around of golf with old Pudge. That&#8217;d be fun. Who&#8217;s your favorite team?  Vicki: Oh, well it has to be, I mean, it&#8217;s gotta be the Rangers, you know, growing up. Um, I&#8217;m from New York and um, my family, um, big Mets fans, my husband also from New York, big Yankee fan. And I think that&#8217;s part of why I think this kind of fueled the fire. So growing up, definitely a Mets fan, but now, um, we&#8217;ve lived here in Texas long enough that we are die hard Ranger fans.  Kelly: Sure. And you are affiliated with the Rangers’ Frisco team here, the Roughriders we should say. We&#8217;ll talk more about that too. But the Rangers are my team too. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to play? Are you a sports person that plays sports?  Vicki: Uh, does walking count as a sport?  Kelly: Ha. Um, it c]]></itunes:summary>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today I am joined by somebody you know from hustle and pro Kelley walkers in the, in the studio with me today. Hey Kelly. Kelly Walker: Hi. SE: And our guest is Andy Milovich, the GM and President of the Frisco roughriders. Thank you for joining us today. Andy Milovich: Thank you for having me. Scott Ellis: It&#8217;s great to have you here. I want to let everybody know before we get going that before we started recording we kind of kicked this off by finding out that we&#8217;re both Indiana boys and big IU basketball fans. So if any of you out there are big IU basketball fans, please connect with us one way or another on social media. We need more of you around. Andy Milovich: Absolutely. Scott Ellis: So how did you make your way from Indiana to Frisco, Texas? Andy Milovich: Well, it was a long winding road through some, a lot of small towns and I guess, uh, like a lot of kids growing up. I had a dream of playing major league baseball and um, I was fortunate to have had an opportunity to play in college. Started. I, you finished at Valparaiso university and from there the, the opportunity to play professionally clearly wasn&#8217;t going to happen. Um, and so for me, the, the front office route was the way I wanted to go. And, um, the player development side is appealing is that was back in the early nineties. If you hadn&#8217;t had a career playing professionally, there really wasn&#8217;t much of a transition to get into the baseball operations side of it. So the front office and the minor league baseball side of it was a perfect fit and you know, had a chance to go to the minor league baseball winter meetings. And in Atlanta in 93, I had done three internships prior to that, hooked on with the team in Madison, Wisconsin, running food and beverage, uh, in a really, really challenging situation. A lot of fun but not a lot of success. And, um, I learned quite a bit after a year with that organization, I hooked up with, um, my former GM in South bend. He had put me in touch with the guys that were opening a new ballpark in Erie where they needed some staff and I joined them and spent 18 years with Palisades baseball open three different ballparks in Erie, then as the GM in Mahoning Valley in 1999 in Northeast Ohio and then in Charleston, West Virginia in Oh-five. And at the end of the 2012 season, again at the winter meetings, um, I was approached by Chuck Greenberg about an opportunity in Myrtle beach and, um, close friend of mine, best man in my wedding I had worked with for 15 years, had been considering that job, wasn&#8217;t a great fit from a timing standpoint with his family. And um, he put Chuck in touch with me and um, moved down to Myrtle beach, spent six years there before the opportunity here to, to move over with Chuck presented itself and we&#8217;ve been here since last July, so we&#8217;re really excited and having a lot of fun and learning the community and making ourselves at home. Scott Ellis: Well very good. We&#8217;re very excited and happy to have you here in Frisco. And I understand that we have a, maybe set some records this year at the dr pepper ballpark. Andy Milovich: Yeah, we had a great year. Um, you know, like every year we had some ups and downs, some challenges. It was my first full season here. And so learning the operation, learning the community, learning what worked and what didn&#8217;t. Um, you know, it&#8217;s always a pretty involved process. But, um, we hit our stride and, and felt really good about things. I think we had our second biggest attendance ever next to Dude Perfect night last year. And, uh, we had our biggest final weekend the team has ever had. So we feel really good about what we&#8217;ve been able to do in the last year. Uh, feel great about our role in the community and the strides that we&#8217;ve made and we&#8217;re looking forward to bigger and better things, uh, in the years to come. Scott Ellis: Well, the Roughriders have become, I think of them as an institution and Frisco been here for a long time. &#8230;]]></description>

We really love it when they come back home to live in Frisco and build a career. Noah Westerfield is our guest this week on Hustle and Pro. Following his success at Wakeland High School in Frisco, Noah went on to play 3 seasons for Cal, and finished up his football career at SMU. (I love that he sneaks in a #gobears and #goponies whenever he can&#8230;) Knowing Noah as a football player, he surprised us citing basketball as his favorite sport to play, and tennis as his favorite sport to watch. His experience playing with big-time players and learning from some legendary coaches has positioned him to pass that knowledge on to the next generation.

Kelly Walker: Today on Hustle and Pro, we have Noah Westerfield joining us. Noah&#8217;s a former Frisco student athlete and now works in sports here in Frisco. How are you today, Noah?  Noah: I&#8217;m doing pretty good. How about you? Kelly: I&#8217;m great. I&#8217;m excited to learn a little bit about your story. So first I want to learn some quick favorites about you. Who would you say your favorite team is of all time?  Noah: New Orleans Saints. Till I die. And New Orleans Saints coming up this Sunday night. 7:00 PM is going here. It&#8217;s going to be in New Orleans. It&#8217;s going to be in the Big Easy. We&#8217;re ready.  Kelly: This podcast will air after that Cowboys New Orleans game. So I&#8217;m going to go ahead now and call a Cowboys win.  Noah: Ooh, you wanna put money on that? Kelly: No, because I don&#8217;t know as much about it as you since you&#8217;re a football guy. But I mean, I&#8217;m going to say my Cowboys are gonna win, so we&#8217;ll see. We&#8217;ll see. If not, I&#8217;m going to cut this section out, okay. So nobody will ever even know about it. Ha. What about your favorite all time athlete?  Noah: All time athlete. It would have to be Joe Horn. You know, I received the New Orleans Saints you know, back a few years ago, a guy that not many people talk about for what he did for the city of New Orleans and everything and kind of getting that program back, you know, back in the right way. So, you know, his quarterback was Aaron Brooks running back was Deuce McAllister. Um, a lot of really, you know, great guys that could play the game at a high level but just weren&#8217;t able to really succeed just due to the situation as far as football. I mean they were last night, NFC North, I mean they were laughing stock. That was like 2004, 2005, 2006 so like right before, you know, we made that jump with Drew Brees. Yeah, exactly. So like this McAlester I mean that&#8217;s a guy, you know, running back. Great running back also. I mean they were all in that era right before Drew Brees came and went. Aaron Brooks was kind of leading the ship and it just wasn&#8217;t, it just didn&#8217;t look good. It just didn&#8217;t look good. But I was a diehard fan though.  Kelly: But he&#8217;s your favorite.  Noah: Yeah. He scored a touchdown back in, I think it was ‘05. And he had his phone in the upright, pulled the phone out and called his mom. And that was a moment where I was like, I want to be able to call my mom, you know, it was one of those situations.  Kelly: That name didn’t sound familiar to me personally, but now that you say that, I gotcha. So what&#8217;s your favorite sport to play?  Noah: Definitely basketball. That&#8217;s why.  I grew up, um, you know, I didn&#8217;t start playing football til I was in fourth grade. I hated football when I first started. I was a big, clumsy, really soft, nice kid that, you know, everybody kind of pushed around. I was real soft. I didn&#8217;t like football. So basketball, I was a hooper since I was four. My brothers and sisters all play basketball and yeah, I was always naturally really good at basketball. So I love playing. So yeah football. So it&#8217;s sort of like a secondary, you know, as far as they loving the place to me.  Kelly: Cause we&#8217;re going to talk about football today. Maybe we need to switch gears and talk about basketball. So then your favorite sport when you choose to watch on TV, what&#8217;s your favorite there?  Noah: Favorite sports watch on TV? Tennis, I mean it&#8217;s just so exciting and so cool. I just love watching the game. I mean, I do enjoy watching football. I do enjoy watching basketball, but I&#8217;ve been, you know, I played those for so long. I mean, it&#8217;s sort of like that athlete burnout, you know, concept. As far &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we are here with Dr. Cannon Clifton from Kalypso wellness centers. Dr Clifton, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me out, Scott. Good to have you on board. So we&#8217;re here to talk about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. So one thing a lot of people don&#8217;t know about me is I have a degree in psychology and I worked in a clinical setting for a little while, eventually got out of that. But um, it&#8217;s still something that, that I think that experience gave me a different perspective on the topic we&#8217;re going to talk about today and that is depression and the treatment of depression. And so you have co founded something called the Kalypso wellness centers and you guys have a, I guess a unique approach to how you&#8217;re treating depression and some of the success that you&#8217;re having with that. So let&#8217;s start there. Tell us a little bit about your background and how you got into Kalypso and treating depression. Dr. Cannon Clifton: Definitely. Well, uh, I started off, uh, initially as a chemical engineer and actually worked for five years up at an oil refinery up in Minneapolis. Uh, it got to the point where somebody was gonna have to start making the gasoline, but it just wasn&#8217;t going to be me anymore. And at the time, my brother was in medical school and I started talking to him and, uh, I realized that why I really wanted to figure out how to get into medical school so I can still do science related stuff but maybe help more people. Uh, fast forward a bunch of years and went to medical school and ended up doing residency and got my, uh, a certification in anesthesiology and was practicing as a anesthesiologist in San Antonio for about eight or nine years. And about that time, my brother who also decided to specialize in anesthesia, he had moved to San Antonio as well. And we were in the same group. And we started looking to say, okay, what can we do? We keep getting the subset of patients that, that need more help, uh, whether it be chronic pain or depression or anxiety. In San Antonio where we practice, there&#8217;s a lot of veterans that have PTSD. And we started coming across as research of patients that would get low dose ketamine infusions that was having pretty remarkable results. And so then we started talking to some other pain physicians that are now our partners. And they said, yeah, we&#8217;ve heard about that, but we just don&#8217;t have time to kind of explore it more. And so my brother and I said, well, we&#8217;ll make time out of our anesthesiology schedule and let&#8217;s start seeing some of your patients. And so we saw 10 of their worst pain and depressed patients and remarkably nine out of 10 of those patients got way better. And we said, man, we might be onto something here to get a new type of treatment for these patients. And so then from there we said, well, let&#8217;s, let&#8217;s do all the research. Let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s going on. And one of the things we found was that unfortunately, the medicine itself, ketamine, while it&#8217;s highly effective for helping these, it also had a pretty bad side effect profile. Uh, the literature States that 40 to 60% of patients, you know, can&#8217;t tolerate getting infusions. And we found that for our first 10 patients, almost exactly half of &#8217;em said, boy, that really helped me, but I don&#8217;t know if I want to do that again. Um, and medicine, there&#8217;s an old joke that if I come up with a cure for cancer, if it causes Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, not a very good cure. Right. Um, so that&#8217;s when we said, well, let&#8217;s go back to the drawing board. I mentioned I was a chemical engineer. We started looking at more of the organic chemistry literature. Uh, one of our partners, Dr. Mark Moran, he&#8217;s got a master&#8217;s in pharmacology. Um, my brother I mentioned, he&#8217;s always just been kind of a research nut. And so we started looking at all different types of things that we can say, what can we add in to help put the ketamine to make it either work better? And maybe more importantly have less side effects. And, um, you know, I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll talk &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we are here with Dr. Cannon Clifton from Kalypso wellness centers. Dr Clifton, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me out, Scott. Good to have you on board. So we&#8217;re here to talk about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. So one thing a lot of people don&#8217;t know about me is I have a degree in psychology and I worked in a clinical setting for a little while, eventually got out of that. But um, it&#8217;s still something that, that I think that experience gave me a different perspective on the topic we&#8217;re going to talk about today and that is depression and the treatment of depression. And so you have co founded something called the Kalypso wellness centers and you guys have a, I guess a unique approach to how you&#8217;re treating depression and some of the success that you&#8217;re having with that. So let&#8217;s start there. Tell us a little bit about your background and how you got into Kalypso and treating depression. Dr. Cannon Clifton: Definitely. Well, uh, I started off, uh, initially as a chemical engineer and actually worked for five years up at an oil refinery up in Minneapolis. Uh, it got to the point where somebody was gonna have to start making the gasoline, but it just wasn&#8217;t going to be me anymore. And at the time, my brother was in medical school and I started talking to him and, uh, I realized that why I really wanted to figure out how to get into medical school so I can still do science related stuff but maybe help more people. Uh, fast forward a bunch of years and went to medical school and ended up doing residency and got my, uh, a certification in anesthesiology and was practicing as a anesthesiologist in San Antonio for about eight or nine years. And about that time, my brother who also decided to specialize in anesthesia, he had moved to San Antonio as well. And we were in the same group. And we started looking to say, okay, what can we do? We keep getting the subset of patients that, that need more help, uh, whether it be chronic pain or depression or anxiety. In San Antonio where we practice, there&#8217;s a lot of veterans that have PTSD. And we started coming across as research of patients that would get low dose ketamine infusions that was having pretty remarkable results. And so then we started talking to some other pain physicians that are now our partners. And they said, yeah, we&#8217;ve heard about that, but we just don&#8217;t have time to kind of explore it more. And so my brother and I said, well, we&#8217;ll make time out of our anesthesiology schedule and let&#8217;s start seeing some of your patients. And so we saw 10 of their worst pain and depressed patients and remarkably nine out of 10 of those patients got way better. And we said, man, we might be onto something here to get a new type of treatment for these patients. And so then from there we said, well, let&#8217;s, let&#8217;s do all the research. Let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s going on. And one of the things we found was that unfortunately, the medicine itself, ketamine, while it&#8217;s highly effective for helping these, it also had a pretty bad side effect profile. Uh, the literature States that 40 to 60% of patients, you know, can&#8217;t tolerate getting infusions. And we found that for our first 10 patients, almost exactly half of &#8217;em said, boy, that really helped me, but I don&#8217;t know if I want to do that again.

We have some powerful people talking to us today. Welcome to the Hustle and Pro Show, Mike and Sharyn King. Before we tell your story, I want to know a few fast favorite facts about you guys. So we have both of you here so you can both answer or you can each take one however you choose. So who is your favorite all time athlete?  Mike King: I might get myself in trouble because I&#8217;m originally from Pennsylvania and I am a Philadelphia Fan.  Kelly: Don&#8217;t even say something about the Eagles.  Mike: So I&#8217;ve always enjoyed watching Harold Carmichael play. Awesome athlete, big tall, wide receiver.  Kelly: Okay. Sharyn, do you have an all time favorite athlete you want to throw out there?  Sharyn King: Well, I&#8217;m a huge Cowboys fan, so, yeah, football is interesting in our house.  Kelly: I bet.  Sharyn: And I grew up, well I was in my thirties, with the Cowboys, with Aikman and Emmett and yeah, so those would be my favorites.  Kelly: I love those guys too.  Sharyn: That was a great time for the Cowboys.  Kelly: I feel like I know the answer to this next one then. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch?  Sharyn: Oh, definitely. Football. Football.  Kelly: Now this might be a loaded question because what you&#8217;re going to tell us later, but what&#8217;s the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to watch sports or to participate in sports yourself?  Mike: Well, I mean, I did that super long trip, which I was able to stop at some of the ball parks and watch some ball games, got to meet players. But the furthest I intentionally traveled to do a sport would probably be Japan for the Oita Marathon.  Kelly: Wow. Okay. What&#8217;s the Oita Marathon?   Mike: Oita Marathon is the, well, back when I did it in ’92, it was the largest wheelchair racing event in the world.  Kelly: Wow. Fantastic. Okay. Do you have a different answer or were you also there?  Sharyn: No, no, that predates me. Okay. Yes, I’m not as sporty as Mike is. But I did, do love biking and in Colorado when I lived there, I did the ms one-fifty from Loveland to Estes Park. So that isn&#8217;t as far as he went, but it was on a bicycle and a lot of it was uphill.  Kelly: Fantastic. Okay. Now I&#8217;m curious, Mike. So growing up, what, what did that look like for you as, as far as what kind of a sports kid were you, what did you do? What sports did you play when you were younger?  Mike: Sports were a big part of our family, mainly because my dad was an avid baseball player. He, other than work lived for playing softball or baseball. And of course he taught us kids that I have four brothers, so we almost had a full team in the backyard. After the work was done growing up on a dairy farm, we were always out playing ball, doing something like that. And Dad also had a lot of other sports. He loved, uh, ice hockey and, and basketball. So anytime he was playing those sports, we were along watching and as we grew up we were playing them also.  Kelly: So we&#8217;re going to talk about, a lot about your organization that you guys are here with, Powered to Move. But I think in order to understand where you are today and what Powered to Move is, let&#8217;s take a step back. Talk about where you&#8217;ve been. So you&#8217;ve had a life-altering accident that no doubtedly changed probably every aspect of your life.

Sharyn, do you have an all time favorite athlete you want to throw out there?  Sharyn King: Well, I&#8217;m a huge Cowboys fan, so, yeah, football is interesting in our house.  Kelly: I bet.  Sharyn: And I grew up, well I was in my thirties, with the Cowboys, with Aikman and Emmett and yeah, so those would be my favorites.  Kelly: I love those guys too.  Sharyn: That was a great time for the Cowboys.  Kelly: I feel like I know the answer to this next one then. What&#8217;s your favorite sport to watch?  Sharyn: Oh, definitely. Football.

Please forgive errors. Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis and this week we&#8217;re going to try something a little bit different. We&#8217;re going to do a rundown of things that you might&#8217;ve missed or in case you missed it happening around Frisco and we&#8217;re going to pull from a bunch of different sources and learn a little bit about some things that are happening in Frisco that you may or may not have heard about yet, but we&#8217;ve got some interesting news updates so let&#8217;s go ahead and dig in. The first one I&#8217;ve got for you is the Uber elevate project that&#8217;s coming to Frisco. Now you&#8217;re probably familiar with the company Uber who will bring you a car. You just order it up on the app and somebody will come and take you wherever you want to go. Uber is working on a project called Uber elevate where it is shared aircraft for short distance travel, so Frisco is going to be one of the first test beds, the one of the first places where they&#8217;re going to try this out with test flight starting next year. That&#8217;s in 2020 and commercial availability. Hopefully in 2023 but what they&#8217;ve got going is a landing pad. It&#8217;s a hell a pad of sorts that will be anchored in Frisco station and you will be able to go down there, call up an Uber elevate, which looks like a small airplane, but it&#8217;s got a couple of rotors that rotate, um, on the wings for vertical takeoff and landing. And then obviously horizontal travel. And the route will be from Frisco to DFW airport and it will take nothing more than seven minutes. So for those of you that are traveling up and down the toll road or down one 21 to get to the airport, this is gonna be a really, really cool thing. It&#8217;s certainly an interesting answer to at least a part of the traffic problem we have going on here and a ton of cool factor and we&#8217;re very excited for first, not only to be a part of that, but at least at this point it looks like we&#8217;re going to be the first place they&#8217;re going to be testing it out. So definitely check out the link below to that. There&#8217;s some cool videos embedded in the article that we link to that&#8217;ll give you a sense of how that&#8217;s going to work and what that&#8217;s all gonna look like in Texas legends news. We&#8217;ve got something really exciting here. If you remember Jason Terry, if you&#8217;re a Mavs fan at all, you remember Jason Terry. Jason was six man of the year and was just a really beloved player on the Mavericks. Well he has been brought on board with the Texas legends as a part of the front office staff. So he&#8217;s going to be the assistant in general manager for the Texas legends starting this season. So we&#8217;re super excited to have Jason Terry on board. You know, a lot of great NBA players have been apart of the Texas legends, uh, after their NBA careers were over, done a lot of great things for the team. Uh, this was one I didn&#8217;t see coming, but I gotta tell you I&#8217;m super excited to see Jared, Jason Terry coming onboard. So Jason, welcome to Frisco. We love having you here. Now also on sports, if you haven&#8217;t been keeping with high school football, our own Lonestar is currently top of the five a rankings. As of the time of this. They&#8217;ve had I believe 119 points this year so far. They&#8217;re three games in, they are undefeated so they&#8217;re sitting at the top of the five a, they are definitely a team to keep an eye on this season. And if you caught an earlier episode with hustle and pro, you know that uh, there&#8217;s a couple other schools here in Frisco and the five [inaudible] that are also very worth keeping a super close eye on. And those would include Frisco Reedy who we know has been, uh, just a really excellent football program, especially for one that is so young and also Frisco high school. So go check out the latest episode of hustle and pro where Kelly talks to Greg Temper. He gives you a great rundown of high school football in Texas in general, but with some particular emphasis of course for us on Frisco football. So go check out that episode. And I will also link to a post that has the current rankings of the five eight teams. So you can check that out if you&#8217;re interested. And then last but not least, let&#8217;s talk, talk about a couple of upcoming events. It is going to be a big, big weekend and Frisco coming up. So on Saturday there are a number of, of events happening. Um, but the two that I want to &#8230;]]></description>

Join Kelly as we talk sports with players, coaches, organizers, and entrepreneurs from pee-wee league to pro. Now here&#8217;s your host, Kelly Walker. Kelly Walker:    It’s football time in Texas. And we have Greg Tepper here to tell us all about it. Welcome to hustle &#38; pro, Greg. Greg Tepper:    Thanks for having me. I appreciate you letting me into your palatial studio. This is a lot nicer than I&#8217;m used to. Kelly:                Well, I&#8217;m excited to have you here. So I think you have what many people would say is their dream job getting to work in sports and specifically in football. So you are the managing editor of Dave Campbell&#8217;s, Texas football, which is called by many, the Bible of Texas football. You work for Fox, Fox sports southwest, where you host the Fox football Friday and the high school scoreboard live. Right? And you host a daily live show on Texas football.com. Greg:                Yeah, all my bad days at work involve football. That&#8217;s a pretty good gig. That&#8217;s pretty good Gig, right? Kelly:                So, I usually do these quick hits and one of them is about your favorite sports. So is football your favorite sport to watch? Greg:                Yes. But at the same time, like when you work in football, you like, it becomes work. Do you know what I mean? That, that when I watch football, I now watch it with a really analytical, I am always looking at things. It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve been able to sit in, like enjoy a football game. Uh, so it is, uh, because I, I, I loved the game and I love kind of breaking it down in depth. If you&#8217;re talking about what I do just to turn my brain off into a fun, uh, I like food. I like baseball and I like soccer. Uh, those are two things that I, that I hop into. But, uh, but football, look, I love football. I don&#8217;t want to, I don&#8217;t want to make any bones about it, but, uh, yeah, there are definitely perks. You know, you go to a party or something like that and people find out what you do and they say, oh, well what do you think of this? And in football, and I&#8217;m like, I&#8217;m at a party. You, we&#8217;re talking about now, we&#8217;re talking about work, we&#8217;re talking about work. Um, but it&#8217;s, you know, it&#8217;s still, it&#8217;s a dream job. So I do love football. Kelly:                So all that being said, who is your favorite athlete? Greg:                Oh, wow. So I have, I have an odd answer to that. My favorite athlete of all time is, a former Rangers third baseman named Hank Blalock. He, his, his probably claim to fame was in 2003 at the game-winning home run in the All star game. He was not the MVP of that all star game, but that&#8217;s not bothering me 16 years later, but it&#8217;s, um, uh, that is a guy that whenever I was really becoming sports conscious and really appreciating what, what football, what, what sports, uh, it could have an impact on people. He was somebody who came here all came along and played the right style at the right time in my life and so much so that I have a son. I have a nine month old son and there was a rumor that I will not substantiate on this podcast that we named him Hank because of Hank Blalock. That is, that is a vicious rumor very far from I&#8217;ve, I just don&#8217;t get it. But he was, he&#8217;s probably my guy. And what&#8217;s weird is I think when you people, people think who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? They&#8217;re, oh, like Michael Jordan or somebody like that. Yeah. You know, like one of the all time greats. Hey, well it&#8217;s never going to be mistaken for one of the all time greats. But he also, I hold a candle. Kelly:                I love getting the obscure well rather than what’s everybody&#8217;s a thinking already. So that&#8217;s great. That&#8217;s a great answer. Greg:                Well, if you&#8217;re into the obscure, you have come to the right place. Right? Kelly:                What about, okay, I&#8217;m anxious for this one now. So what about your favorite team of all time? Greg:                &#8230;]]></description>

And we have Greg Tepper here to tell us all about it. Welcome to hustle &#38; pro, Greg. Greg Tepper:    Thanks for having me. I appreciate you letting me into your palatial studio. This is a lot nicer than I&#8217;m used to. Kelly:                Well, I&#8217;m excited to have you here. So I think you have what many people would say is their dream job getting to work in sports and specifically in football. So you are the managing editor of Dave Campbell&#8217;s, Texas football, which is called by many, the Bible of Texas football. You work for Fox, Fox sports southwest, where you host the Fox football Friday and the high school scoreboard live. Right? And you host a daily live show on Texas football.com. Greg:                Yeah, all my bad days at work involve football. That&#8217;s a pretty good gig. That&#8217;s pretty good Gig, right? Kelly:                So, I usually do these quick hits and one of them is about your favorite sports. So is football your favorite sport to watch? Greg:                Yes. But at the same time, like when you work in football, you like, it becomes work. Do you know what I mean? That, that when I watch football, I now watch it with a really analytical, I am always looking at things. It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve been able to sit in, like enjoy a football game. Uh, so it is, uh, because I, I, I loved the game and I love kind of breaking it down in depth. If you&#8217;re talking about what I do just to turn my brain off into a fun, uh, I like food. I like baseball and I like soccer. Uh, those are two things that I, that I hop into. But, uh, but football, look, I love football. I don&#8217;t want to, I don&#8217;t want to make any bones about it, but, uh, yeah, there are definitely perks. You know, you go to a party or something like that and people find out what you do and they say, oh, well what do you think of this? And in football, and I&#8217;m like, I&#8217;m at a party. You, we&#8217;re talking about now, we&#8217;re talking about work, we&#8217;re talking about work. Um, but it&#8217;s, you know, it&#8217;s still, it&#8217;s a dream job. So I do love football. Kelly:                So all that being said, who is your favorite athlete? Greg:                Oh, wow. So I have, I have an odd answer to that. My favorite athlete of all time is, a former Rangers third baseman named Hank Blalock. He, his, his probably claim to fame was in 2003 at the game-winning home run in the All star game. He was not the MVP of that all star game, but that&#8217;s not bothering me 16 years later, but it&#8217;s, um, uh, that is a guy that whenever I was really becoming sports conscious and really appreciating what, what football, what, what sports, uh, it could have an impact on people. He was somebody who came here all came along and played the right style at the right time in my life and so much so that I have a son. I have a nine month old son and there was a rumor that I will not substantiate on this podcast that we named him Hank because of Hank Blalock. That is, that is a vicious rumor very far from I&#8217;ve, I just don&#8217;t get it. But he was, he&#8217;s probably my guy. And what&#8217;s weird is I think when you people, people think who&#8217;s your favorite athlete? They&#8217;re, oh, like Michael Jordan or somebody like that. Yeah. You know, like one of the all time greats. Hey, well it&#8217;s never going to be mistaken for one of the all time greats. But he also, I hold a candle. Kelly:                I love getting the obscure well rather than what’s everybody&#8217;s a thinking already. So that&#8217;s great. That&#8217;s a great answer. Greg:                Well, if you&#8217;re into the obscure, you have come to the right place. Right? Kelly:                What about, okay, I&#8217;m anxious for this one now. So what about your favorite team of all time? Greg:                &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today I am joined by Charlie Windell from Melody of Hope. Charlie, welcome to the show. Charlie: Hi, thank you so much for having me. Y&#8217;All are so great. Scott: Thrilled to have you here because we&#8217;re going to talk about a subject today that is near and dear to both of our hearts, music, but you&#8217;re taking what you&#8217;re doing with music and doing something really well beyond that and doing a lot of good with music. So I&#8217;m very excited to hear you tell myself and everybody listening. What is Melody of Hope and how did you get started? Charlie Wendell: Absolutely. Well, once again, thank you so much for having me. I feel honored to be on your podcast. I&#8217;m, you and Wendy are just incredible people and I&#8217;ve gotten to know you guys over the last two years and so I really appreciate it. Um, so in a nutshell, Melody of Hope, we are a music nonprofit that does benefit concerts and builds live music programs into nonprofit events. And so we partner with about 16 nonprofits a year. Um, in January. Our board votes on the nonprofits we partner with and we basically provide free of charge, live music programs and to all of their events. And so, um, you know, we&#8217;re doing the camp cro gala barbecue, we&#8217;re doing the Frisco arts walk in the fall, so there&#8217;s a ton of nonprofit events, um, that are already happening in the community. So we really want to come alongside of what they&#8217;re already doing and help in, you know, in any capacity that we can. Um, and the foundation of what we do though is based on the Gospel. And so we share the gospel at every event we do. That&#8217;s kind of the trade-off is, you know, we provide this free musical talent and production and then we get the stage for like a minute to share, you know, about the true hope that we believe in, which is found in Christ. So that&#8217;s the foundation of it. Yeah. Scott: Okay. Very good. So you would, would you consider yourselves a faith-based nonprofit? Charlie: So government wise we are, um, I think our code is an x, which is a religious, but, um, you know, our mission is based on the Lord, but you know, we don&#8217;t just do Christian events. A lot of nonprofits that we&#8217;re helping, they don&#8217;t have a faith-based mission. Right. And so we really try to be in the community and do other nonprofit events, not just faith-based. Scott: Well, you&#8217;re out there doing good and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s, that&#8217;s kind of the core of it. All right, cool. Thank you. [inaudible] is the, is is the model, if I&#8217;m a nonprofit and I&#8217;m having an event, usually having some kind of, or options are usually often having some kind of entertainment is a part of that. Sure. So is that what you guys are doing is to come in and help offset the cost that would normally be associated with having that entertainment there, that musical entertainment? Charlie: Sure. And honestly, what we found is a lot of these nonprofit events, they didn&#8217;t have a music component to them. Um, you know, I think the best example I have is the Camp Curl Camp Craig Allen Barbecue. It&#8217;s a massive event and they had never had a musical component. And so we came in and basically built a music fest onto it. But it&#8217;s, it was interesting because not a lot of nonprofit events have the music component. They never thought about it, you know, it&#8217;s just their mission is not centered around music and so it&#8217;s just something that they had never thought about. But Scott: I would imagine that serves as a good driver to get more people out and keep them there longer and taking part in, in the event. For sure. Charlie: Yeah. We&#8217;ve, um, we hope to be just another outlet and a revenue stream for their event. And so like I had mentioned, we do everything free of free of charge and so we&#8217;ll help market the event, we&#8217;ll help market. The artists will help, you know, provide volunteers. We&#8217;re lucky to have about 25 committee members and board members &#8230;]]></description>

Kelly Walker:    Thanks for joining us for today&#8217;s episode of Hustle in Pro Kaytie Logan is our guest. Hello and welcome Kaytie. We&#8217;re going to talk about softball today, Kaytie and Kaytie’s journey as a softball player into the collegiate level. First let&#8217;s go ahead and get to know you with some of our quick hits. So who is your favorite athlete of all time? Kaytie Logan:   I&#8217;d probably say Jennie finch. Kelly:                Love her. Who&#8217;s your favorite team of all time? Kaytie:              Probably UT. Kelly:                Do you have any superstitions with sports? Kaytie:              I did on my shoe, so whenever I hit a home run I would tie something on my shoe, like a little string. And then the whole season I had it on there cause I thought it was good luck. Kelly:                What about the farthest distance you&#8217;ve ever traveled to play sports or to watch sports? Kaytie:              I&#8217;ve traveled to Florida, so like 16 hours, probably the longest. Kelly:                Okay. Now I&#8217;m anxious to learn a little bit about your, your softball life, but also some other things about you growing up in sports. So tell me about different sports that you might&#8217;ve played as a kid. Kaytie:              So I really loved softball first. Um, but my second love was definitely in volleyball. Um, I&#8217;m five two for reference, so I&#8217;m pretty short, so I was always in the back, the one like diving around. Um, but I played that and then I played basketball was terrible at basketball, but I loved playing it. Um, and then yeah, I just kind of stuck on softball. Kelly:                At what point was that? Like how old were you when you stuck on softball? Kaytie:              I started select when I was about 10, so 10 all the way up to college. I started playing and then I played volleyball and basketball throughout middle school, but nothing ever serious or just kind of for fun. Kelly:                Got It. So I love softball too personally. People that have heard some of the intros to this hustle impro might have heard me talk about that.  I just love the game so much. And as a kid I loved the team Camaraderie and just being at practice and the hard work you put in and like everything from uniforms and gear, like I love, I still wear, use my old glove and all like all of it. And it was a family thing for me. It gave me really good memories with my dad who was a coach and my sister who we always played on the same team together. Um, that I&#8217;m super thankful for. So I&#8217;m curious about you, like what do you love about the game of softball? Kaytie:              You hit pretty much the main points. Pretty much the same for me. So I grew up playing softball every single weekend. I&#8217;m always traveling throughout the weeks doing practices, private lessons. And I think the best thing that I loved was just improving. Um, so each week I felt like I kind of would just get a little better in progress. And then also just being along with the team and the girls. Once you get into that select group and you&#8217;re with them every single weekend, you kind of get to gain that bond the same throughout high school and college. Kelly:                So you were applying selects, so you what, what position did you play? Kaytie:              Catcher. Kelly:                Oh, I didn&#8217;t know that. Yeah. Awesome. Um, so only catcher or would you rotate around? Kaytie:              No, I bounced around so I did third, short second, and then catcher. I wasn&#8217;t fast enough yet. Field. Kelly:                Okay. And so starting select at such a young age, were you traveling, is this like a travel team to where you&#8217;re traveling all across different parts of the state? Kaytie:              Yeah, so we would, normally, when I was that young, it would just be around local ones. So like flower mountain, McKinney, Plano, stuff like that. Um, but whenever I got into the college, I mean, not college, sorry, into the middle school and to high school, I kind of traveled a lot more. So there&#8217;s like tournaments in Colorado, there&#8217;s ones in Illinois, there&#8217;s one in California. So those ones were definitely a lot more serious. But the younger ones, it was just local teams and we would just play, you know, starting Friday night from six o&#8217;clock all the way till 10 o&#8217;clock and then playing Saturday throughout the day. &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we are here with Kaylee from SBG Hospitality and Keith from Nine Band Brewing. And we&#8217;re going to talk about one of, one of my favorite topics, beer, or more specifically, Oktoberfest. Frisco&#8217;s having its first October fest and SBG is putting that on. So thank you guys for joining me today. Keith Ashley: Well I&#8217;m happy to be here and I&#8217;m glad we were able to be invited. Scott: Yeah, good to have you here. Kaylee Kelly: Absolutely. We&#8217;re glad to share what&#8217;s to come at Frisco Oktoberfest with everyone in Frisco. So I&#8217;m gonna start off by saying that Oktoberfest is an idea, it&#8217;s something, I&#8217;ve been to the Oktoberfest in Munich before and it was so much fun. I&#8217;ve wanted to see one come to Frisco for a long time. We thought about doing one at lifestyle Frisco. But as you know, events of that scale are a huge undertaking and it takes a lot of work to pull something like that off. So we just, we never did it. And we&#8217;re really glad that you guys are doing it. Cause you did a fantastic job with the wine festival last year or so. Or was it the spring I should say? Kaylee: Yes, it was the spring. And you&#8217;re definitely right about festivals like this with the attendance rates. They are massive and a lot of work goes into it. But we are so excited to do it all and to bring this style of event to Frisco, especially with all the expectations being so high of knowing what a general Oktoberfest is. Um, we&#8217;re definitely excited to bring a whole authentic German experience to Frisco. Scott: So you already started down the road of my first question and that is what is the experience going to be like? Because I&#8217;ve Bend Oktoberfest in Munich, which is kind of like the granddaddy, but I&#8217;ve been to other Oktoberfest here around the country and they&#8217;re all a little bit different and sometimes they&#8217;re not quite like the, um, what I would consider the authentic or original German Oktoberfest. So how were you guys kinda queuing up the experience for what&#8217;s going to happen in Frisco? Kaylee:  So something that is great that we think is not only are we bringing in authentic German experience, but we&#8217;re also involving a lot of the local restaurants and vendors as well just to kind of bring fresco together as a whole. But as long as far as the Oktoberfest experience goes, there will be live German music and dancers as well as some entertainment such as some stilt walkers. So you&#8217;ll definitely have plenty to be entertained by. We&#8217;ll also have some delicious German cuisine so you can expect lots of a Broadway or sinned, sauerkraut and things of that sort. Um, and then aside from that we&#8217;ll have, we&#8217;ll have costumes. Everyone is recommended to come out in their best German attire as well as our entertainment. We&#8217;ll be all decked out in German attire. And then as far as for the local Frisco, we&#8217;ll have a ton of local restaurants. They&#8217;re serving up food as well. And then local vendors probably have over a hundred of them out on display for lots of shopping. Scott: Okay, wonderful. And so are we gonna have the beer tents or is the getting your beer experience going to be a little different than that? Kaylee: Well, it wouldn&#8217;t be Oktoberfest without the beer tents. Scott: Ok, Good News. Kaylee: So we will definitely have beer tins filled with a Nine Band Brewing beer. They&#8217;re breaking out some special edition beers for the October fest. So we&#8217;re really excited about that. And um, absolutely with a beer pass that you can buy on Frisco octoberfest.com it does come with a vintage Bier stein, it&#8217;ll be 16 ounces and that&#8217;s what our attendees will use to drink beer out of for the entire Oktoberfest. Scott: Wow. Wonderful. That sounds like fun. I&#8217;m already getting excited. And so we&#8217;re going to talk to Keith now a little bit. You are with nine band brewing and you guys are the presenting sponsor for this first October fest in Fresco. Tell us a little bit about what we can expect, um, in the beer treatment. Keith: Well, we are a very thankful that we were chosen to be the, uh, presenting, uh, beer sponsor. Um, we&#8217;re very excited. Uh, we, uh, we have a specialty beer that, uh, outside of our Oktoberfest beer of course, but, uh, we have a specialty beer that will not be tapped &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we are here with Kaylee from SBG Hospitality and Keith from Nine Band Brewing. And we&#8217;re going to talk about one of, one of my favorite topics, beer, or more specifically, Oktoberfest. Frisco&#8217;s having its first October fest and SBG is putting that on. So thank you guys for joining me today. Keith Ashley: Well I&#8217;m happy to be here and I&#8217;m glad we were able to be invited. Scott: Yeah, good to have you here. Kaylee Kelly: Absolutely. We&#8217;re glad to share what&#8217;s to come at Frisco Oktoberfest with everyone in Frisco. So I&#8217;m gonna start off by saying that Oktoberfest is an idea, it&#8217;s something, I&#8217;ve been to the Oktoberfest in Munich before and it was so much fun. I&#8217;ve wanted to see one come to Frisco for a long time. We thought about doing one at lifestyle Frisco. But as you know, events of that scale are a huge undertaking and it takes a lot of work to pull something like that off. So we just, we never did it. And we&#8217;re really glad that you guys are doing it. Cause you did a fantastic job with the wine festival last year or so. Or was it the spring I should say? Kaylee: Yes, it was the spring. And you&#8217;re definitely right about festivals like this with the attendance rates. They are massive and a lot of work goes into it. But we are so excited to do it all and to bring this style of event to Frisco, especially with all the expectations being so high of knowing what a general Oktoberfest is. Um, we&#8217;re definitely excited to bring a whole authentic German experience to Frisco. Scott: So you already started down the road of my first question and that is what is the experience going to be like? Because I&#8217;ve Bend Oktoberfest in Munich, which is kind of like the granddaddy, but I&#8217;ve been to other Oktoberfest here around the country and they&#8217;re all a little bit different and sometimes they&#8217;re not quite like the, um, what I would consider the authentic or original German Oktoberfest. So how were you guys kinda queuing up the experience for what&#8217;s going to happen in Frisco? Kaylee:  So something that is great that we think is not only are we bringing in authentic German experience, but we&#8217;re also involving a lot of the local restaurants and vendors as well just to kind of bring fresco together as a whole. But as long as far as the Oktoberfest experience goes, there will be live German music and dancers as well as some entertainment such as some stilt walkers. So you&#8217;ll definitely have plenty to be entertained by. We&#8217;ll also have some delicious German cuisine so you can expect lots of a Broadway or sinned, sauerkraut and things of that sort. Um, and then aside from that we&#8217;ll have, we&#8217;ll have costumes. Everyone is recommended to come out in their best German attire as well as our entertainment. We&#8217;ll be all decked out in German attire. And then as far as for the local Frisco, we&#8217;ll have a ton of local restaurants. They&#8217;re serving up food as well. And then local vendors probably have over a hundred of them out on display for lots of shopping. Scott: Okay, wonderful. And so are we gonna have the beer tents or is the getting your beer experience going to be a little different than that? Kaylee: Well, it wouldn&#8217;t be Oktoberfest without the beer tents. Scott: Ok, Good News. Kaylee: So we will definitely have beer tins filled with a Nine Band Brewing beer. They&#8217;re breaking out some special edition beers for the October fest. So we&#8217;re really excited about that. And um, absolutely with a beer pass that you can buy on Frisco octoberfest.com it does come with a vintage Bier stein, it&#8217;ll be 16 ounces and that&#8217;s what our attendees will use to drink beer out of for the entire Oktoberfest. Scott: Wow. Wonderful. That sounds like fun. I&#8217;m already getting excited. And so we&#8217;re going to talk to Keith now a little bit. You are with nine band brewing and you guys are the presenting sponsor for this first October fest in Fresco. Tell us a little bit about what we can expect, um, in the beer treatment. Keith: Well, we are a very thankful that we were chosen to be the, uh, presenting, uh, beer sponsor. Um, we&#8217;re very excited. Uh, we, uh, we have a specialty beer that, uh, outside of our Oktoberfest beer of course, but, uh, we have a specialty beer that will not be tapped &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; This week we explore our role in parenting young athletes in Frisco. Recently, I sat in on a Positive Coaching Alliance session at my daughter&#8217;s middle school. Honestly, it made me pause and check myself as we enter into another season of school athletics and recreational sports. How do we ensure that our kids come away with the physical, mental, and character-building opportunities that we hoped for when we signed them up for sports? Learning how to fail, being accountable to their team, developing strong relationships, learning respect&#8230; And hopefully, that great feeling of success and accomplishment. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves why we&#8217;re all doing all of this, right? In the thick of it, it&#8217;s easy to get carried away. I&#8217;m guilty of it myself. I like to yell, coach, and correct. But, when your kid thinks back on this stage of their life, do you want them to cringe and remember those awful rides home from the game? I hope you don&#8217;t. I hope we all want more for our kids. We want them to be respectful young adults who treat opponents, officials, coaches, and teammates with respect, remembering that there are many sides to sports. Grace and growth are things I want to see in my children, win or lose. Enjoy this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro, and please leave a comment with your thoughts on parenting and sports.

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today we&#8217;re sitting down with Jeremy and Justin from rush cycle. Guys, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having us. Thanks. Good to have you here today. Um, I&#8217;m a huge fan of cycling. I do it mostly indoors. I&#8217;m not an outdoor guy so much, but I&#8217;m excited to have you here because I want to hear a little bit more about rush cycle and what brought you guys to Frisco and what makes this different than other similar types of workouts. So what&#8217;s a, Jeremy, why don&#8217;t we start with you and then we&#8217;ll go over to Justin, but how did you come to be a part of this and, and why this particular business? Jeremy: Like a lot of things you, you think about, uh, the booming air or the booming industry, the booming economy. Like I want to get a part of that. I want, I want to get involved, be a part of a, a big time city exploding and there&#8217;s probably not a larger city like that in America right now than Frisco. Um, so with that in the back of the head, my wife found the franchise found, uh, on a show she liked that we don&#8217;t watch together because it gives me anxiety. Um, anyway, it, we, we talked to send an email to the guys over in San Diego, Tim Suski and Corey Spangler, we flew out to meet them. We rode a class. It killed us. A lot of fun as you can. You can tell we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re not like a fit and uh, you know, we&#8217;re not the biggest cyber athletes yet Scott: Working on it though, right? Jeremy: We&#8217;re working on it. And so we, uh, we talked to those guys out there. We bought into their brand, their community focus, their culture. Um, Rush is a place where you come in and you&#8217;re not left out, you&#8217;re not looking over there and somebody is just looking to be the strongest or the fastest and you&#8217;re just in the way. Everybody, it&#8217;s like Cheers. You walk in, everybody knows your name, they&#8217;re glad you&#8217;re there, you kind of go into it together, you ride together and then when you finish, you&#8217;re sweating like always. And then you come back the next day, the day after. That&#8217;s Kinda the goal. Scott: I love that, and I know that that kind of community focus and camaraderie is a good, good way to encourage people to keep coming so that they&#8217;re meeting their goals and doing the things that they need to do. Justin, how about you? What was, what inspired you to get involved in this and take part in Rush Cycle? Justin: Much like Jeremy said, I&#8217;ve always had kind of a vision to be a franchise owner. I&#8217;m originally thought it was going to be food and then realize that maybe that&#8217;s not the best idea how much work goes into that. Um, but then Jeremy, like he said, his wife found, um, from the show Out Daughtered a place in league city. They opened up a rush cycle and that&#8217;s kind of what initially got us interested in it. And then he brought me in a couple months after he&#8217;s been going through the process, brought my wife and Whitney and I in and we went out there to San Diego, did the ride and just had an absolute blast. I mean we&#8217;ve, I had zero spin cycle experience prior to this. My wife had done a couple in college and you know, at the, you know, anytime fitness, or not Anytime but LA Fitness, but a, we went out there and just had an absolute great time. You know, we were very intimidated going into it. Then once you&#8217;re there and you&#8217;re kind of in the setting, it&#8217;s dark, it&#8217;s dim lit, you know, everybody&#8217;s kind of doing their own thing. There&#8217;s not some big projection scoreboard showing you you&#8217;re in first or last. You&#8217;re kind of ran at your own pace and you&#8217;re getting a great workout. And, um, we just fell in love with it immediately. So describe the experience to somebody that&#8217;s never been to Rush Cycle. When I go to my first class, what am I, what should I be ready for? What am I in for? Justin: So the main thing they say is it&#8217;s very rhythmic. It&#8217;s a rhythmic workout. It&#8217;s a, you have a lead instructor on her podium. Then you&#8217;ve got 43 bikes in front of her, him or her, and they are just, they&#8217;re dancing, they&#8217;re keeping you, you know, they&#8217;re dancing in and out of the saddle. They&#8217;re, you know, not up jumping around in between the seats, but they are just going, they&#8217;re keeping you on beat and you&#8217;re just, you&#8217;re riding. Next thing you know, you feel like, you know, 45 minutes, it&#8217;s just gone by so fast. It&#8217;s dark black lit. It is. It&#8217;s a really fun thing to do. And you&#8217;re burning, I mean, I checked my iWatch, it was like 650 calories. Scott: Yeah. That&#8217;s a good burn in that time. Yeah. Okay. So it&#8217;s basically kind of, it&#8217;s a dark room, but you say it&#8217;s black lit. So Justin: yes, there&#8217;s a, there&#8217;s &#8230;]]></description>

Um, so with that in the back of the head, my wife found the franchise found, uh, on a show she liked that we don&#8217;t watch together because it gives me anxiety. Um, anyway, it, we, we talked to send an email to the guys over in San Diego, Tim Suski and Corey Spangler, we flew out to meet them. We rode a class. It killed us. A lot of fun as you can. You can tell we&#8217;re, we&#8217;re not like a fit and uh, you know, we&#8217;re not the biggest cyber athletes yet Scott: Working on it though, right? Jeremy: We&#8217;re working on it. And so we, uh, we talked to those guys out there. We bought into their brand, their community focus, their culture. Um, Rush is a place where you come in and you&#8217;re not left out, you&#8217;re not looking over there and somebody is just looking to be the strongest or the fastest and you&#8217;re just in the way. Everybody, it&#8217;s like Cheers. You walk in, everybody knows your name, they&#8217;re glad you&#8217;re there, you kind of go into it together, you ride together and then when you finish, you&#8217;re sweating like always. And then you come back the next day, the day after. That&#8217;s Kinda the goal. Scott: I love that, and I know that that kind of community focus and camaraderie is a good, good way to encourage people to keep coming so that they&#8217;re meeting their goals and doing the things that they need to do. Justin, how about you? What was, what inspired you to get involved in this and take part in Rush Cycle? Justin: Much like Jeremy said, I&#8217;ve always had kind of a vision to be a franchise owner. I&#8217;m originally thought it was going to be food and then realize that maybe that&#8217;s not the best idea how much work goes into that. Um, but then Jeremy, like he said, his wife found, um, from the show Out Daughtered a place in league city. They opened up a rush cycle and that&#8217;s kind of what initially got us interested in it. And then he brought me in a couple months after he&#8217;s been going through the process, brought my wife and Whitney and I in and we went out there to San Diego, did the ride and just had an absolute blast. I mean we&#8217;ve, I had zero spin cycle experience prior to this. My wife had done a couple in college and you know, at the, you know, anytime fitness, or not Anytime but LA Fitness, but a, we went out there and just had an absolute great time. You know, we were very intimidated going into it. Then once you&#8217;re there and you&#8217;re kind of in the setting, it&#8217;s dark, it&#8217;s dim lit, you know, everybody&#8217;s kind of doing their own thing. There&#8217;s not some big projection scoreboard showing you you&#8217;re in first or last. You&#8217;re kind of ran at your own pace and you&#8217;re getting a great workout. And, um, we just fell in love with it immediately. So describe the experience to somebody that&#8217;s never been to Rush Cycle. When I go to my first class, what am I, what should I be ready for? What am I in for? Justin: So the main thing they say is it&#8217;s very rhythmic. It&#8217;s a rhythmic workout. It&#8217;s a, you have a lead instructor on her podium. Then you&#8217;ve got 43 bikes in front of her, him or her, and they are just, they&#8217;re dancing, they&#8217;re keeping you, you know, they&#8217;re dancing in and out of the saddle. They&#8217;re, you know, not up jumping around in between the seats, but they are just going, they&#8217;re keeping you on beat and you&#8217;re just, you&#8217;re riding. Next thing you know, you feel like, you know, 45 minutes, it&#8217;s just gone by so fast. It&#8217;s dark black lit. It is. It&#8217;s a really fun thing to do. And you&#8217;re burning, I mean, I checked my iWatch, it was like 650 calories. Scott: Yeah. That&#8217;s a good burn in that time. Yeah. Okay. So it&#8217;s basically kind of, it&#8217;s a dark room, but you say it&#8217;s black lit. So Justin: yes, there&#8217;s a, there&#8217;s &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

SHOW NOTES: [1:55] How To Up Your Shelfie Game [2:20] Mr. Penumbra&#8217;s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan [4:12] Why Wendi chose to read Mr. Penumbra&#8217;s 24-Hour Bookstore [5:13] Invisible Women &#8211; Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez [10:00] I&#8217;ll Be Gone In The Dark &#8211; One Woman&#8217;s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer &#8211; Michelle McNamara [12:18] Finding The Exit &#8211; It&#8217;s Not Where you Start, It&#8217;s Where You Finish &#8211; Lea Ellermeier [14:27] Factfulness &#8211; Ten Reasons We&#8217;re Wrong About the World&#8211;and Why Things Are Better Than You Think by Hans Rosling (check out the video below) RESOURCES: Goodreads Hans Rosling&#8217;s 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes Connect with Lifestyle Frisco on:  YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Transcript Scott Ellis: Welcome to the Frisco podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today, I get to interview my wife. Wendi McGowan-Ellis: This is so fun. Scott: Yes, we&#8217;re going to talk about books because you have become an absolutely voracious reader in the last couple of years. You how many books did you read last year? Wendi: Okay, last year I read 24 books. Scott: And this year as of August? Wendi: As of August, 2019 I&#8217;ve read 38 bucks and my goal is 50. Scott: Since January 1st? Wendi: Since January 1st, yes. Scott: That&#8217;s probably more books than I&#8217;ve read in my whole life. Wendi: Well, I doubt that because you&#8217;re smarter than I am and you know all that big tech brain you got over there. But first let&#8217;s talk about something else. Let&#8217;s talk about where we physically are right now. Scott: So this is the first episode that we are recording in our new podcast studio at UNT inspire park. Wendi: Yes, in our new offices. And we are super thrilled with this room and how it turned out and all of the baffling on the walls and the fact that we&#8217;ve got four mikes and we&#8217;ve got to a flat screen TV to show great things while we&#8217;re recording. So I am just thrilled. This is like a dream come true. Scott: Pretty amazing. And UNT, the guys did a great job. We&#8217;re very grateful to them for all the work they put into this room. Wendi: So yes we are. Yes we are. Scott: Alright, so we get back into talking about books. Wendi: Yes, we can get back into talking about that. Scott: Allright. So we&#8217;re going to talk about your fall reading lists. Yes. And that&#8217;s a, a rundown of I think four books that you&#8217;re recommending for fall. Wendi: Yes. I&#8217;m just going to kind of recap four that I&#8217;ve read already. Um, and in no particular order, um, I kinda did a how to up your shelf-ie game for a summer reading list, um, on the site. And it was a big article. I&#8217;m a gigantic listicle on there. So yeah, we&#8217;re going to talk about fall. All to the, all of the kids have gone back to school and they&#8217;re all reading. So parents, it&#8217;s time to break out the bookmarks, then head back to the library and get some interesting stuff. Scott: Right. Summer&#8217;s over time to turn your brains back on. Wendi: That&#8217;s right. Exactly. So, um, so I&#8217;m going to start off with a fiction book that I have not finished, but I&#8217;m reading it right now called Mr Penumbra&#8217;s 24-hour bookstore by Robin Sloan. And this book is just a whimsical little jaunt to back in 2009 during the great recession. Um, the book is set in San Francisco and the hero of the story has been fired from his web design, um, coding job because of the great recession and he&#8217;s taken a job in Mr Penumbra&#8217;s 24 hour bookstore and he soon discovers that there&#8217;s rarely a customer in the bookstore like he has. First of all, he works the night shift. He literally works from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM there&#8217;s rarely a customer that comes into the store, but when they do come into the store, they ask for a section that he internally dubs to himself the way back list because it&#8217;s all of the dusty musty items like way in the back of the store and they&#8217;re hard to find on shelves. But these customers are completely deliberate about what book they want. Now, not only do they ask for a specific dusty musty book, they also don&#8217;t pay for them. They turn in another dusty musty book in exchange for the new one that they just get. So our hero of the story, Clay Janin is perpetually confused by this process. The fact that no money is changing hands, but yet this is supposed to be a business and a 24 hour one at that. So I&#8217;m having quite the joy ride on this one. Scott: What would you say made this book the most fun for you to read? Wendi: Well, the reason why I picked it up is because it was recommended on a list, um, for book lovers about book lovers or book or libraries. Scott: Very meta? Wendi: Yes, it was. Yes, it was metadata on libraries, people who love to read, et Cetera. So I received &#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m your host, Scott Ellis. And today, I get to interview my wife. Wendi McGowan-Ellis: This is so fun. Scott: Yes, we&#8217;re going to talk about books because you have become an absolutely voracious reader in the last couple of years. You how many books did you read last year? Wendi: Okay, last year I read 24 books. Scott: And this year as of August? Wendi: As of August, 2019 I&#8217;ve read 38 bucks and my goal is 50. Scott: Since January 1st? Wendi: Since January 1st, yes. Scott: That&#8217;s probably more books than I&#8217;ve read in my whole life. Wendi: Well, I doubt that because you&#8217;re smarter than I am and you know all that big tech brain you got over there. But first let&#8217;s talk about something else. Let&#8217;s talk about where we physically are right now. Scott: So this is the first episode that we are recording in our new podcast studio at UNT inspire park. Wendi: Yes, in our new offices. And we are super thrilled with this room and how it turned out and all of the baffling on the walls and the fact that we&#8217;ve got four mikes and we&#8217;ve got to a flat screen TV to show great things while we&#8217;re recording. So I am just thrilled. This is like a dream come true. Scott: Pretty amazing. And UNT, the guys did a great job. We&#8217;re very grateful to them for all the work they put into this room. Wendi: So yes we are. Yes we are. Scott: Alright, so we get back into talking about books. Wendi: Yes, we can get back into talking about that. Scott: Allright. So we&#8217;re going to talk about your fall reading lists. Yes. And that&#8217;s a, a rundown of I think four books that you&#8217;re recommending for fall. Wendi: Yes. I&#8217;m just going to kind of recap four that I&#8217;ve read already. Um, and in no particular order, um, I kinda did a how to up your shelf-ie game for a summer reading list, um, on the site. And it was a big article. I&#8217;m a gigantic listicle on there. So yeah, we&#8217;re going to talk about fall. All to the, all of the kids have gone back to school and they&#8217;re all reading. So parents, it&#8217;s time to break out the bookmarks, then head back to the library and get some interesting stuff. Scott: Right. Summer&#8217;s over time to turn your brains back on. Wendi: That&#8217;s right. Exactly. So, um, so I&#8217;m going to start off with a fiction book that I have not finished, but I&#8217;m reading it right now called Mr Penumbra&#8217;s 24-hour bookstore by Robin Sloan. And this book is just a whimsical little jaunt to back in 2009 during the great recession. Um, the book is set in San Francisco and the hero of the story has been fired from his web design, um, coding job because of the great recession and he&#8217;s taken a job in Mr Penumbra&#8217;s 24 hour bookstore and he soon discovers that there&#8217;s rarely a customer in the bookstore like he has. First of all, he works the night shift. He literally works from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM there&#8217;s rarely a customer that comes into the store, but when they do come into the store, they ask for a section that he internally dubs to himself the way back list because it&#8217;s all of the dusty musty items like way in the back of the store and they&#8217;re hard to find on shelves. But these customers are completely deliberate about what book they want. Now, not only do they ask for a specific dusty musty book, they also don&#8217;t pay for them. They turn in another dusty musty book in exchange for the new one that they just get. So our hero of the story, Clay Janin is perpetually confused by this process. The fact that no money is changing hands, but yet this is supposed to be a business and a 24 hour one at that. So I&#8217;m having quite the joy ride on this one. Scott: What would you say made this book the most fun for you to read? Wendi: Well, the reason why I picked it up is because it was recommended on a list, um, for book lovers about book lovers or book or libraries. Scott: Very meta? Wendi: Yes, it was. Yes, it was metadata on libraries, people who love to read, et Cetera. So I received &#8230;]]></content:encoded>

	<description><![CDATA[Subscribe on iTunes! Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; On this episode of Hustle &#38; Pro, we chat with swimmer Hanna-Mary Cook. As a young kid, Hanna-Mary was scared of the water. But, between swim lessons and friends who helped influence her to embrace the water, she turned into a competitive swimmer. In fact, she used that early experience to help others learn to love swimming, too. Four successful years of swimming at Reedy High School in Frisco didn&#8217;t come easy. Hanna-Mary shares about dryland workouts, the early hours in the pool, and the grueling 5-6 hours of training a day that competitive swimmers must endure. She heads off to Wellesley College in Massachusetts later this month. She&#8217;ll continue swimming and is leaning towards studies in Anthropology.

He&#8217;s been the Director of Basketball Operations, among many other things, and now serves as the Assistant General Manager for our favorite Frisco basketball team. He has soaked in years and years worth of basketball knowledge working with greats such as Donnie Nelson, Nancy Lieberman, Del Harris, and Spud Webb. It&#8217;s evident how much Byron loves basketball (and baseball) &#8212; and especially &#8212; how much he loves the Texas Legends. It&#8217;s a huge part of why we love the Legends, too. Next time you find yourself at a Legends game, say &#8220;hi&#8221; to Byron. He&#8217;ll definitely be saying hi to you from the mic, on the court &#8212; always with a huge smile.

Subscribe on Google Play Podcast RSS Feed &#160; Cesar came to Frisco from El Paso at age 15 to play soccer, but what we love about his story is that he says he was not the top player &#8212; &#8220;just the guy who would always give 100%.&#8221; Maybe he&#8217;s never been the superstar or the best on the team, but hard work, preparation, setting an example and being a leader (as the oldest on his team currently) has served him well in his soccer career. In this episode, learn about the North Texas Soccer Club, what Cesar describes the &#8220;FC Dallas 2nd team&#8221; in Frisco. NTSC players have pro contracts, use the FC Dallas facilities, and train with the first team players and coaches. We talk about how preparation, being flexible to do what your team needs on the field, and even yoga can keep you ready to perform at the elite level.
