Brandon Montgomery: From Hitting Jacks to Saving Lives

From Hitting Jacks to Saving Lives – My Guest, Mr. Brandon Montgomery, played triple A ball for the Los Angeles Dodgers and now saves lives on the Collierville fire department.
 
“Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical.” ~ Yogi Berra
 
My guest this week found his true passion in life at the very early age of 8.  Having an older brother, Brandon was introduced to the game of baseball basically by the time he was able to walk.  Brandon explains how introducing something to someone and being good at something is no substitution for having a passion for something.  However, when you can combine a natural ability to your passion, magic can happen.  
It was his insatiable desire to play the game that gave him the needed edge to excel through the ranks and quickly find himself playing pro ball in rookie league before eventually ascending to double A ball.  During our conversation we cover the good, the bad and the ugly of youth sports as well as the dedication needed to truly be the best of the best.
Brandon gives credit to his older brother for having a huge influence on what he believed possible for himself.  Brandon explains how COVID derailed his chances for further advancement after getting a taste of triple A and he had a hard decision to make about his future.  Seeing his older brother pursue the path of  firefighting he decided he would give that career a look.  It was there that our paths crossed and now he is serving as a firefighter for Collierville, TN.  Brandon’s story is both relatable and inspiring and his love for baseball hasn’t left him as he is now a coach and trainer at Beast Athletics in Collierville.

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.

Connecting Life’s Dots: Marika Therrien’s Traumatic Experience at the 2017 Vegas Shooting

Connecting Life’s Dots: Marika Therrien’s Traumatic Experience at the 2017 Vegas Shooting
“May all your weeds be wildflowers.”
This week’s guest was born a free spirit.  Growing up in rural New Hampshire, Marika found her love for nature and art.  Not knowing exactly what she wanted to do in life she did like many people often do and follow the advice of other’s in an attempt to find her place in the world.
After graduating from college with a biology degree, she realized medicine was not her passion.  It was a trip to Las Vegas that introduced her to an entirely different life style.  When her friend suggested she was made for that city she packed her bags and decided to try a new life out west.  Moving to Las Vegas in April of 2017 was both exciting and uncertain.
In October, she went with a friend to a country concert to assist with taking some pics.  Shortly after leaving the concert she found herself sitting at the base of the Mirage when suddenly she heard what was thought to be fireworks going off only to realize she was directly under the window of the shooter that ultimately killed 60 people and injured over 800.  Following this harrowing event she was then living her life on pins and needles when an innocent date turned into a stalker situation that haunted her for over two years.
Tune in to hear how Marika used all of these traumatic events to inspire her new business turning flowers into jewelry.  Through all that she has been through it is nothing short of amazing to see how she has used all of these life events to help others and create incredible works of art. You can find her work on Instagram @‌blossomandlove.

Addiction Knows No Boundaries: Casey Smith and his story of addiction, owner of Casey’s Remodeling.

Addiction Knows No Boundaries: Casey Smith, Owner of Casey’s Remodeling.
“Strive to find peace, not happiness. Happiness comes and goes, peace is from within.” 
It is no secret that drug addiction is rampant in America and I think most would agree drugs are deadlier than they have ever been.  Since the introduction of Fentanyl laced drugs, overdose deaths are rising by 5% each year.  The number of Fentanyl based deaths reaches into the millions worldwide.  
This week’s guest did not grow up in a tumultuous childhood surrounded by gangs and drugs.  He was like millions of other kids across America.  A kid that loved to hang with friends and play sports like football, baseball and basketball.  There was no reason to think that he wouldn’t grow up to become whatever he chose in life.  
It was the introduction to narcotics following a surgery from a sports injury that he realized he had an affinity for the way the narcotics made him feel.  So much so, that years later he started to seek opportunities to score pills from classmates.  
Casey’s story should resonate with every single person out there because he is a glowing example of how fast things can snowball.  So many people have an incidental moment in their lives that can derail everything they have ever worked for.  It is because of this reality that Casey made the decision to take a 9 hour road trip to be on my show.  He understands how important his message is and he is now dedicated to helping as many people as he can.  Casey feels that if his story can help just one person than it was all worth it.  He has now been sober since 2019 and runs a very successful renovation business.  He wants others to know that if he can get clean, so can you!

A mother’s intuition is something that could be considered one of the world’s great mysteries.  Ms. O’Byrne was facing difficult moments as the birth of her daughter neared.  Trusting that God has a plan for her life she faced the uncertainty of a high risk delivery.
Her daughter was born without issues and it wasn’t until nearly a year and a half later that her daughter started developing some serious health issues.  Initially, she was told that her daughter was fine, but something didn’t settle right with Ms. O’Byrne and she insisted that more test be done to find out what was wrong with her daughter.  Several tests later it was discovered that her daughter had an autoimmune disease and was treated with a new drug that caused a severe reaction.
Her daughter nearly died and spent over a month in the hospital with much of that time in the ICU.  Since they were at Vanderbilt which was several hours away from their home in Alabama this caused a serious issue with where to sleep and shower.  Because of this unexpected life hardship, Ms. O’Byrne decided to take action.  Please check out this episode and learn how she took a life altering moment and turned it into something to help families facing some of the same difficulties she experienced.  You can learn more about Ms. O’Byrne’s nonprofit and how to access her services by going to www.Daisys-place.org
