Spin the Wheel, Pour the Milk | Cannonballing Life Series

In this hilarious and nostalgic episode of Cannonballing Life, Derrick and Coach kick things off with a spirited round of Let’s Make a Deal, sparking a deep dive into the golden age of game shows like The Price Is Right. Derrick shares stories from his first gig as a DJ and gives an update on his growing business, Thrive Entertainment. The duo also teases an upcoming KISS-themed concert Derrick is performing in—and just when things seem “normal,” an awkward story about breast milk sends the conversation completely off the rails. Expect laughs, memories, and maybe a little too much information.

Whitney Lavender: From Bilateral Amputee to Ms. Wheelchair Texas.

Perspective and Persistence – My Guest, Whitney Lavender, From Bilateral Amputee to Ms. Wheelchair Texas.
“The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective.”
It is no secret that some folks are dealt a bad hand in their youth.  When we are born into this world we can’t control who our parents are and how they will treat us.  For some, having a difficult childhood will set them up for eventual failure in life as an adult.  It is common to pass on from one generation to the next, our upbringing and experiences.
However, sometimes that tough childhood is preparing you for the trials and tribulations you will face as an adult.  My guest this week, Ms. Lavender, shares how growing up with an abusive mother conditioned her to be both mentally and physically tough.
Her mother left the family when she was still a kid and when her father was diagnosed with cancer she had to take on the role of the head of the house and got her hardship license to drive at the age of 14.  Caring for her sick father and her younger brother was actually easy in comparison to dealing with her abusive mother.
You will need to tune in to hear how Whitney battles through two abusive husbands, losing her father to cancer after a 16 year battle, and then in 2018 she receives a diagnosis that changes her life forever when she slips down some stairs injuring her leg.  After several months of seeing doctors and getting a myriad of treatments that never helped, she was diagnosed with a very rare disease know as, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
If you are looking for  a story that will give hope and inspiration to just keep going, then look no further.  Ms. Whitney is the epitome of never quit, never give up!

On this episode of Cannonballing Life, Coach unleashes another classic rant—this time targeting the ever-declining state of customer service. Meanwhile, he and Derrick recap their time at The Hope Center’s Leadership Conference in Senatobia, MS, sharing takeaways and moments from the event. Derrick also offers an update on his business, Thrive Entertainment, and reflects on a recent Memphis Redbirds game. The duo also dive into a relatable (and slightly painful) discussion about close talkers and those mysterious people who speak just above a whisper for twenty minutes straight.

Ashleigh Parker and Tina James: DeSoto Hope

A Basket of Hope – My Guests, Ashleigh Parker and Tina James, are cancer survivors and teammates with “DeSoto Hope”.
“We want to make sure no one fights alone in DeSoto County.”
When a person receives a diagnosis of cancer they immediately know that their life has changed forever.  They may experience a myriad of emotions and sometimes they may experience all of them at once.  Some of the emotions may be a feeling of loneliness, confusion, anger or even depression.  Each person may have a different response, but the one constant is, you need some folks in your corner that sign on to take the journey with you.
My guests this week know this need all too well, as they are both cancer survivors. Starting with little resources and a modest team of two, Ashleigh Parker and Tracy Gallagher  decided to make baskets filled with items that they knew would be needed by folks going through treatments.  Working from their garage they had a vision, a dream and blunt determination.  They named their organization “DeSoto Hope” as they targeted the amazing citizens of DeSoto County.
As word spread the need for expansion was evident.  Slowly others joined the team, they moved to a larger location and before they knew it they were delivering baskets to over 700 families each year.  Perhaps an unintended benefit, the team soon realized that not only was it helping others by showing them that they understood what they were going through and someone was there that cared; the team found that by helping other’s they were even helping themselves.  There is just something therapeutic about helping someone else, even when you are going through difficult times yourself. Ashleigh Parker’s quote to her team is, “I did everything that was asked of me by my team and I fought as hard as I could.”
What started as a kind gesture has now become  a true movement.  If you or someone you know would like to learn more about this amazing nonprofit or if you would like to become a volunteer you can find more information by going to http://www.desotohope.org

Angela McCaleb: Cancer Warrior by Choice.

In God’s Time – My Guest, Angela McCaleb, Hairstylist by day and Cancer Warrior by Choice.
“Cancer Sucks, God Doesn’t.”
The quote, “It’s not the amount of years in our life that matter, but rather the life in our years that matter most.” Ring more true with this week’s guest than anyone I’ve ever spoken with.
Mrs. McCaleb has lived a life of intentionality and direction since she was a little girl.  She shares how she met her future husband at the young age of 8 and in 8 short more years this young boyfriend became her husband when Angela turned 16.  Little could she have known that she would need those tools of maturity and toughness that she would develop in her early adult life.
In 2020 Angela suddenly woke up at 3am and had the feeling she needed to do a self-breast exam.  She googled how to perform the check and within a few minutes she found a lump.  She woke her husband up and told him she had cancer.  The next day they started the process of going to doctors and after her stage 2 breast cancer was confirmed, she received a double mastectomy and began radiation and chemo.  Once her treatments were complete she was given the all clear notice and life went back to usual.
Then in 2024 Angela started having severe lower back pain she was told it was likely sciatica.  She received shots and other therapy until the pain was going from her neck to her legs.  Angela explains that this was the moment she had to become her own best advocate and request some scans to be done.  The scans revealed that she had stage 4 bone cancer and would need to begin treatments again.  Angela’s unwavering love and care for other’s is evident by how many people have jumped in to lend a helping hand.  If you or someone you know has had or currently has cancer you will want to hear how Angela stays positive and continues to be a light for others while she continues the fight of her life.  At the end of our conversation she even took time to say a prayer for my daughter.  Thank you for all you do and keep fighting, your community loves you!

Kristina and Juno Avent - PART 2: Discuss life after a cervical cancer diagnosis.

Our Cancer Journey - PART 2 – My Guest, Kristina and Juno Avent, Discuss life after a cervical cancer diagnosis.
“Cancer is a challenge, but it is not an obstacle.  I will not let it stop me from living my life.”
We live in a world that is very fragile and can change in an instant.  This change can come about in a number of ways.  Unfortunately, one of those ways hits millions of people around the world every year.  The thing I am talking about is, the diagnosis of cancer.
I feel it is fair to assume that very few people on earth can say that they have never known anyone that has had some form of cancer.  Unfortunately, I myself have had several friends and family pass away from cancer.  Regardless of your ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic or even health background, no one is exempt from the possibilities of getting some form of cancer.
My guests had this possibility become a reality a few months ago and they have decided to share their journey with the world by giving regular updates on social media.  Kristina Avent shares what it was like the moment her diagnosis became a reality and how her and her husband Juno, knew they were not going to shy away from the challenge.
The couple shares how they are using their story to hopefully inspire someone else that is going through this journey by telling what is working and what is not as they figure things out from day to day.  If you or someone you know is going through cancer treatments they will certainly benefit from this series on cancer.  If you would like to follow the Avent’s journey you can find them on Facebook and TikTok.
