Debbie King | A Grandma, A CEO, A Heart Full of Purpose

Leading by Love: A Grandma, A CEO, A Heart Full of Purpose. – My Guest, Southaven Chamber of Commerce President, Debbie King.
“Alone we strong, together we are unbreakable .”
My guest this week shows us what being a leader is all about.  I was introduced to Mrs. King at a leadership conference and soon I learned that she was not only a community leader, but she was someone that knew how to do the right thing, even when the right thing was the hardest thing to do.
Mrs. Debbie King grew up in a very diverse family that taught her how to embrace the moment and not fear change.  She shares how her time spent at the casino’s actually molded her “can do” attitude and gave her a sense of loving the challenge.  She explains how every time a new opportunity presented itself she was quick to jump at it.  If nothing else, she wanted to be a perpetual learner.
After nearly 20 years in the casino business, Mrs. King was given an opportunity to go to work for the very young city of Southaven, MS.  Working at the Chamber of Commerce meant that she we would have to once again push herself out of her comfort zone and become very familiar with how to communicate with a diverse group of business leaders.
In 2021 Mrs. King was rewarded for all of her strong efforts and she was assigned as the President and CEO of the Southaven Chamber of Commerce.  This new role and challenge in her life inspired her to press forward and build an amazing team of people around her by which, she gives all the credit to for making her look good.  These roles and life progression would seem to be impressive enough, but it is in our last part of the conversation that you see how big her heart truly is.  When she was faced with adopting her two grandkids she knew that the road ahead wouldn’t be easy, but there was no way that she was going to walk away from this unexpected change.  Mrs. King is the shining example of what a mentor, a city leader and a loving person should be, and I know that you will be moved by her story, just as I was.

Sergeant First Class Christopher Wright | How Army Recruiters Adapt to a Changing Nation

Raising the Bar: How Army Recruiters Adapt to a Changing Nation – My Guest, Sergeant First Class Christopher Wright.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
~ R. Reagan
Times change and so does the military.  As we go from one generation to the next, the needs and threats to America continue to evolve. So in order to keep up with the everchanging world that we live in, our military recruiters are tasked with finding the right people for the job.
My guest this week, Sergeant First Class – Christopher Wright, has been serving as an Army recruiter for 4 years and he has seen a lot of changes in the military over the past two decades.  Since all of America’s branches are volunteer, finding qualified individuals is not always so easy.  Sgt. Wright discusses how the military is not for everyone, but for those that do fit the calling, the military can be a very exciting and rewarding career.
Travel, career options, lifelong benefits, and unique experiences await those that join the services.  Sgt. Wright discusses the diversity of jobs that are available and how the needs are always changing, like how AI is impacting the tech world as an example.  If you or someone you know has ever been interested in joining the military or maybe they are just curious about the nuances between the guard versus the reserves then this is the episode for you.  It is always an honor to highlight our military and our veterans.

Bailee Harris | Uncovering the Truth About Postpartum

Beyond the Baby Blues: Uncovering the Truth About Postpartum Depression – My Guest, Bailee Harris.
“My scars are badges of courage – proof I fought for my baby and myself.”
My guest this week shares her difficult journey of battling through postpartum depression and how she found healing in small steps.  Today, we are breaking the silence on a topic that affects 1 in 7 new mothers yet remains hidden behind smiles and baby photos.
Mrs. Bailee Harris talks about how she had pre-planned her entire life, from when she would go to college, to when she would get married, to what age she would start her family.  For Bailee life was a series of boxes that she enjoyed checking and up to the birth of her daughter, her plans had all come together accordingly.
It was shortly after her daughter was born that both mom and baby started to have some health issues.  When Bailee’s baby became jaundiced and had to go to the doctor for some treatment and she had some health problems pop up, suddenly Bailee started doubting her ability to care for her daughter and quickly found herself falling into a state of depression.
Our conversation is open and honest and Bailee hopes that by sharing her story she will give another mother out there that might be struggling to wrap her head around why she feels sad or is even having suicidal thoughts, that she is not alone.  She hopes that her story will give someone else the strength and courage to ask for help and realize that asking for help is the strongest, bravest and most helpful thing you can do for yourself and for your baby.  If you or someone you know is suffering from postpartum depression you can call the Postpartum Depression (PPD) hotline at 844-987-9882.

Dr. Tracy Hall, President of STCC: Love for Community

Leading the Way: The Love for Community Drives Dr. Hall
My Guest, Southwest Tennessee Community College President, Dr. Tracy Hall.
“ Community is not just a place, it’s a purpose.” ~ Unknown
My guest this week is a true leader in every sense of the word.  Dr. Tracy Hall is the president of Southwest Tennessee Community College and her story that led her to Memphis was not one of an accident.
Dr. Hall shares how she grew up near St. Louis, Missouri, and she came from a large family that played a huge roll in her early foundation which instilled a love and compassion for everyone.  Dr. Hall explains that even though she considers herself to be an introvert she still won Homecoming Queen at her high school and was even voted most popular.  She attributes these accolades to how she always treated everyone the same and genuinely enjoyed learning about others interests.
Dr. Hall didn’t initially set out to be an educator, but when a friend suggested she should try teaching, it didn’t take long before she realized how impactful teaching can be.  Over the years Dr. Hall furthered her education and she eventually found her way to administrative roles.  Then when she had the opportunity to apply for a president’s position she had two possibilities.  She could have went to Chattanooga Community College or she could take the position at Southwest Tennessee Community College.
Dr. Hall considered both possibilities and she understood that Memphis is a tough city with a lot of crime and poverty.  These realities not only didn’t scare Dr. Hall away, they actually motivated her.  Where some would have ran from the obvious challenges, Dr. Hall embraced the moment looking at it as opportunity.  I know you will be inspired this week’s episode and just remember, “Southwest Tennessee Community College is your best choice.”

The Pen is Mightier: Dr. Carolyn Wiley’s Leap of Faith

The Pen is Mightier: One Person’s Leap of Faith – My Guest, Dr. Carolyn Wiley.
“Stories are the lifeblood of humanity; writers are its vessels.”
~ N. Gaiman
 
My guest this week found herself taking the easy path early in her life.  Finding the thing we are really good at is not the same thing as pursuing the thing we are passionate about.  The problem with pursuing passions can be, we might find ourselves in uncomfortable places and the fear of failing at our passion can be overwhelming.
This is where you must take an absolute leap of faith and realize life is too short to play it safe.  Dr. Carolyn Wiley found herself building a strong foundation in mathematics, but eventually those years in teaching would pay off when she and some colleagues took on the challenge of writing and updating a Statistics book.  This book would eventually be adopted as part of the curriculum and distributed to hundreds of universities all over America.
That taste of success as a writer lit a fire and over the years Dr. Wiley began to imagine what could be if she went all in as a writer and a publisher.  After careful consideration and meaningful prayer she decided to quit her job as a teacher and start her own company, Rose and Pearl Publishing.  Tune in to hear about how chasing her dream led her to writing about the story of local firefighter hero (Pat Hardison) that nearly died in a house fire and later received the first ever successful full face transplant in the world.  Mr. Hardison was a guest on the Motivate with Coach Camp podcast and you can listen to his interview by clicking the link.

Pool Side Miracle: A Family's Faith and a Community’s Love

Pool Side Miracle: A Family's Faith and a Community’s Love – My Guests, Arnell Morris, Isaac Morris and Little Arnell.
“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into light.” ~ H. Keller
This week’s story is about a little boy that drowned in a pool and is a story that plays out dozens of times across America every year.  Unfortunately, most do not turn out the way this one did.  My guest Arnell Morris is a former paramedic student of mine from 12 years ago and is currently a firefighter/paramedic with the City of Memphis Fire Department.  In addition, he is a pastor at Messiah Fellowship Memphis.
Speaking from experience as a firefighter/paramedic for many years, it always seemed like anytime there was some kind family emergency I was always on duty at the station.  Today’s story happened just like that. Arnell shares how he was at work at the fire station when he suddenly got a call telling him that his son, little Arnell had been in accident and he needed to get to the hospital.  The one thing that gave him some comfort, was hearing his son speaking in the background of the call.
It was at the hospital that he learned that his son had drowned in the pool and a lady at the pool party had pulled him from the bottom of the pool and started CPR prior to the ambulance arriving.
Trust me when I say you need to hear this amazing story of faith, family and a community that came together to save a young man’s life and then we have the incredible blessing of getting to hear from that young man and how this incident has changed his life.
