Strength Through the Storm with Coach Camp

Strength Through the Storm – Coach Camp shares his perspective on why we must face storms.
“On the other side of a storm is the strength that comes from having navigated through it.”
This week’s episode was inspired through my guests that I’ve been so blessed to have on my show.  I feel like most of us would agree that hard times can come in many shapes and sizes and where one thing might be devastating for one person, that same thing may not be difficult to navigate for someone else.
It was actually a friend that once explained to me that no issue should be taken lightly and to always remember that life is not a competition.  The important thing is to be honest with ourselves first, but then allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to admit when we are having a problem and be brave enough to ask for help.
While these concepts may seem simple enough to understand, the truth is they can be very difficult to admit.  This is why I find myself being inspired every week by my guests that selflessly allow their difficult times to be shared with the world and ultimately connect with my audience in the hopes that they can find inspiration and healing through their stories.
Using those concepts, I took this week to reflect on my personal journey and hopefully this week’s message will hit home for someone out there struggling through a tough time.  The important thing to remember is that this moment in time will pass and when you come out on the other side you will be stronger than before and when you use your testimony you will infuse hope in others that they too will make it through.  That, my friends, is the way you find purpose and meaning when life tries to beat you down.

Daniel Bell: Addiction is a Thief - PART 2

Addiction is a Thief – My Guests, Mr. Daniel Bell and his mother Bunny Lee - PART 2
“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.  Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.”
I’ve heard it said, “Fentanyl is the chemical cancer that is killing our society.”  Much like cancer, most of us know someone that has either struggled with addiction or even passed away from an overdose.  I personally have had several friends and family members die from overdosing on drugs.
The blunt truth about addiction is that it is an equal opportunity employer.  It doesn’t matter who you are, who you know, what background you come from, how rich or how poor you are; anyone can become addicted to something and usually it happens when you least expect it.
Most addicts didn’t wake up one day and say, “hey, I think I’m going to pick up a habit that will completely destroy my life and everyone’s life around me.”  I think it’s safe to say that a lot of times people are just curious about it and they are looking for something to take away the pain, both physical and mental.
Regardless of why a person decides to try a drug, the point remains that addiction will take everything from you and for this week’s guest that sentiment is literal.  My guests Daniel and his mother Bunny share the unbelievable story of how Daniel became an addict 22 years ago and it took losing 19 friends, his fiancé, his brother and dying temporarily before being brought back to finally get clean.  You have to hear how he is using his incredible loss to now be a positive voice for others that recovery can happen and staying clean can become your reality.

Lynn Miller: Going My Way, Retired Memphis Firefighter

Going My Way – My Guest, Retired Memphis Firefighter, Mr. Lynn Miller.
“There are all these moments you think you won’t survive, and then you survive.”
In 1971, the world was very different than the one we know today.  I know that hitchhiking is very taboo in today’s world, but back in the early 70’s hitchhiking was a common way of traveling across America.
My guest this week, Mr. Lynn Miller had just finished Air Force tech school in Wichita Falls, Texas, and had started his long journey from Texas to Tennessee via his thumb out.  Originally, he had planned to fly back home but after someone broke into his locker at tech school and stole all of his money he decided to just hitchhike home.  Wanting to surprise his family on his return he decided to keep his trip home a secret.
Most of us can admit that at the age of 19 we often don’t make the best of decisions.  In this case, Lynn could get some grace from the fact that hitchhiking was an accepted form of travel during that time.  Starting out early in the morning he started his long, arduous trip of over 1000 miles.  He shares how the majority of his trip was mostly uneventful chipping away at the distance little by little until he found himself less than 22 miles from his house when things took an incredible turn.
At approximately a day and a half into his trip it was about 2am when he found himself being kidnapped by 4 men and brought to a cabin in the Appalachian Mountains.  His daring escape will leave you on the edge of your seat.  You do not want to miss this week’s incredible story of survival and how he has used his second chance at life to have a huge impact for others.

Mayor Ken Adams, Olive Branch, MS.

A City for the Family – My Guest, Mr. Ken Adams, Mayor of Olive Branch, MS.
“Real leadership is about transforming limitations into possibilities.”
~ R. Sharma
 
The question is often asked, are leaders born or are leaders made?  Most people would say it can be either.  However, I would argue it simply comes down to making a decision.  Every day we are faced with making choices and those choices will mold the people that we will become.  In my opinion, becoming a leader is no different.
This week’s guest was given a great foundation in leadership from his early beginnings when he started working at Fed Ex in security.  During those years he also worked as a civil/criminal court judge.
Finally, after 38 years with Fed Ex and 25 years as a judge, he decided to try his hand in politics.  Mr. Adams had been a lifelong resident of DeSoto County and he felt a calling to serve the people.  So he made the decision to retire as a judge and go all in on running for mayor of Olive Branch.  Thus his logo, “All in Ken”.  He was elected to office in 2021 and has since been blazing a trail to make Olive Branch one of the best cities to live in in Mississippi.
Tune in to hear about all of the improvements that have come to Olive Branch since he entered office and what is planned for the future as Mayor Adams looks to grow the city and expand its resources.

Cannonballing Life | One More Last Time: New Chapter

Big changes are on the horizon! In this special update, we share exciting news about the future of Cannonballing Life in 2025. This episode is especially meaningful as it marks the final recording in the original SRP Studios, which is moving to a brand-new home. The new space will be up and running in January, and we can’t wait to Thrive in Twenty Twenty-Five alongside all of you. Tune in for all the updates and a heartfelt goodbye to the studio that started it all!

Ed Stutler: Sergeant United States Marine Corp and Vietnam Veteran.

Never Lose Hope– My Guest, Ed Stutler, Sergeant United States Marine Corp and Vietnam Veteran.
“Marines are built through the ethos of struggle and sacrifice.” ~ General James Jones
Sometimes when you aren’t sure what choice to make you just choose what makes the most sense in the moment.  My guest this week had aspirations of becoming an architect after graduating, but when the program at the school he wanted to attend was full he took hard shift and joined the military.  Mr. Ed remembers how the recruiter sold him on joining the Marines by saying, “if you want to come home alive then you should join the Marines.”  The Vietnam War had been ongoing for 5 years when he decided to enlist and the loss of American life was quickly mounting.
Not sure how his family would take the news Mr. Ed opted to not mention his enlistment to his family.  It was in actual basic training when his parents learned that he had joined the Marines.  This naturally didn’t go over well but at that point it was too late to change things.
It was only two weeks after basic training when they sent Mr. Ed off to war.  He had a brief stop in Japan before being sent to Chu Lai, Vietnam.  Once in country he was assigned to being a truck driver.  This meant he transported supplies to the troops on the front lines and he found himself in dangerous situations many times.  He spent 14 months in country before coming back to the states and it was back home when he started realizing that he was not the same person that he was before he left.
Tune in to hear how Mr. Ed found himself battling depression and eventually becoming an alcoholic before finding real help through therapy and finally coming to terms that he was dealing with PTSD.    Mr. Ed now works with the Fisher House Foundation which is a nonprofit organization that houses veterans and the family when receiving treatment at the VA.  His journey to recovery and his passion for helping others is certain to pull at your heart strings.
