Keith Norman: The Ultimate Sacrifice

The Ultimate Sacrifice  – My Guest, Keith Norman, Retired Memphis Firefighter.
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” ~ John 15:13
It can go without saying that some jobs carry certain risks and when you choose those jobs it is important to consider the “what if’s”.  Being a firefighter on a busy department means that you are going to face dangers much more often.  This can actually be a benefit sometimes because you will gain a ton of experience in a short amount of time, but it can also be a detriment, because you will be put in difficult situations much more often
My guest this week not only faced those dangers on a regular basis, but he had family that worked alongside him on the same department.  Jeffrey and Keith were only separated by a few years and as the years went by, Jeffrey found himself following the path of his older brother.
Keith had been on the job for several years prior to Jeffrey joining.  It just so happened that Jeffrey and I came on Memphis together and got to know each other during fire school.  After we both graduated from fire school we were assigned to fire station 10 on South Parkway.  It was only 3 months after being assigned there that my Lieutenant was killed in the Frayser Dollar Store fire.  There was no way to know at that time how so many things would suddenly become intertwined.
Keith shares what life was like after his brother being killed on the job and how his brother’s last act on this earth was to shield his guy from the collapsing roof.  Jeffrey’s action saved a fellow firefighter that day and Memphis lost one of the good ones.

Twisted Tragedy: Teresa Silvestri, Life Long Paramedic and Courageous Matriarch

Twisted Tragedy  – My Guest, Teresa Silvestri, Life Long Paramedic and Courageous Matriarch.
“You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.” ~ M. Angelou
 
Sometimes in life our path starts to become clear when we have a moment that connects with us and we can see ourselves being part of the solution.  It was a moment like that which set Ms. Teresa on a path to become a healthcare provider.
 
In 1989, Ms. Teresa’s mother and her sister were involved in a horrible car accident which left her sister dead and her mother in critical condition.  So, in 1991, Ms. Teresa started down the path that eventually led her to getting her paramedic license.  Then in December of 2001 an incident took place that would forever tie us to a place and time.  I had only been a paramedic for 3 months when I responded to an accident scene as a volunteer first responder.  The accident happened to involve her 18 year old son, and it wasn’t until this episode that Ms. Teresa knew that I had been there on that day and road to the hospital in the ambulance.
 
Ms. Teresa’s story is unfortunately riddled with loss and tragedy, as you will hear in this episode.  However, it is her desire to keep moving forward, to keep living life, to lean on her faith, and is nothing less than incredible and truly an inspiration.
 
Habeeb Akande once said, “God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.”  After hearing Ms. Teresa’s life journey, I am certain that you will agree that God certainly sees her as one of his strongest soldiers.

The Devastation of Domestic Violence – My Guest, Michelle Kolcan, shares her harrowing journey through domestic violence.
“This moment contains all moments.” ~ C.S. Lewis
Sometimes when looking at someone’s situation from the outside it may seem easy to have all of the answers.  My guest this week gives us the a full view of how sometimes life can have a way of sneaking up on you and before you know it, you’ve lost everything.
When I met my guest Ms. Kolcan in March of 2024 at the reality show, The Blox, I had no idea of the trauma she had been through.  The Blox is a competition game show all about entrepreneurs.  Ms. Kolcan was there with her line of skin health products and from her outward appearance you would never know of the real life Hell she had been through.
The reality is, a lot of individuals that have been through abusive relationships in their life will put on a front of happiness.  On the outside, they smile and seem happy, but on the inside they are struggling to make it from one day to the next.
Ms. Kolcan gives us a full perspective of what life is like when you feel trapped in a toxic relationship and the ultimate price she paid was losing her two boys.  This story will pull at your heart strings and at the same time give you hope about the possibilities of a better tomorrow if you just keep pushing forward.
Dealing with skin problems and other health issues, Ms. Kolcan decides to take positive steps toward a brighter future which is what brought her to the game show, The Blox.  Now she is a published author and makes her own healthy skin care products.  You can learn more about Michelle Kolcan at and her skin products and grab a copy of her book at http://www.happyhealthnaturally.org and if you are in Asheville, NC you can shop at her store, Natural Health and Skin.

Twana Johnson: Quitting’s not an Option

Quitting’s not an Option– My Guest, Twana Johnson, Business Owner of Runway Redi Boutique, Gym Owner of Fit Wit Twana, and Adversity Overcomer.
“People don’t care how much know until they know how much you care.”
 
Most of us will have some moments in our life that turn out as planned.  This week’s guest shares her impactful story of how she had carved out the life she had wanted with hard work and determination, but lost it all, which gave her the greatest gift of all.
 
Growing up she was the youngest of five and Ms. Johnson explains how being the youngest, you had to be tough.  Her mother and father were very supportive in her endeavors and when Twana decided she would pursue a college education and become the first person in her family to graduate college her family stood behind her.
 
At the age of 19, she became a mother and this only made her more determined to be successful.  Without question this made things more difficult, but Twana only found this challenge to be motivating.  It won’t take long to realize Twana embraces adversity and finds strength during the tough times with her faith.
 
You cannot miss this incredible person’s journey from having everything to becoming instantly homeless and then her amazing journey back!  “Falling down is an accident, staying down is a choice.”  If this episode doesn’t inspire you to get up and get after life…Nothing will.

Politics vs. Perspectives with Coach Camp

Politics vs. Perspectives – This week I attempt to walk the line of between politics and keeping things in perspective.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” ~ H. Keller
 
Shying away from tough topics is never the way to support positivity.  However, some topics need the right tone and perspective to be received.  I don’t think I’m stretching it to say that politics and religion can be the two topics that are many times left untouched in mixed company.  This got me to thinking about why that is and how I could bring something to the table on the topic.
It is my feeling that most people find themselves becoming emotionally attached to these topics because, for many of us, it is those things that help mold our identity.  To question one’s religion or politics can be seen as questioning their very existence.  In addition to this perspective, I feel like people are tribal in nature.  To find the group that we fit in with means we have validation to our convictions.
I would never suggest that anyone should be less passionate about their personal convictions.  Nor should they capitulate to the pressure of following the majority.  It is our individuality that gives us the flavor to life.  I would hate to think that everyone saw the world the same as me and liked all of the same things I like.  Many times in my life I was completely certain of some things and couldn’t find a way to see things differently.  However, in time and with some different experiences, I found myself having a complete change of heart about certain things.  Some real world examples are addiction, homelessness and education to name a few.
The only way we can allow for opposing perspectives and ideas is to allow discussions of opinion.  This means that we avoid feelings of emotion and jointly understand that different opinions shouldn’t mean we have a lack of respect or love for the other person, but rather we simply have a different opinion.  I truly hope that you find this episode enlightening and thought provoking.
