Customer Service Chaos & Close Talkers | Cannonballing Life Series

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.

George Visger - PART 2: Facing Giants | Former NFL player and CTE survivor

Facing Giants – My Guest, George Visger, Former NFL player and CTE survivor.
“Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of you doing it.”  ~ E. Nightingale
When we are children we often dream of what it might be like to grow up and play pro sports.  The reality is, very few will ever make it to the highest level and for those that make it, even fewer will have a long career at it, regardless of the sport.
This week’s guest was born with a competitive drive and desire to not only complete a task, but he has always been driven to be the best at whatever that thing might be.  When he entered the pop-warner league of football as a kid he was immediately driven to be the best.  As a smaller kid he had to work that much harder to prove his ability and in the 9th grade he sustained his first concussion.
In our two part interview George explains how looking back he can remember having 1000’s of incidents where he had momentary lapses of memory and moments of unconsciousness.  By the time he was in college at the University of Colorado he and his friends were noticing some changes in personality and George had found himself getting into some trouble.  George shares how one night he was out at a bar and the next thing he could remember he was sitting in a jail cell the next morning.
Once George completed college he was drafted by the New York Jets in 1980 as a defensive tackle.  Later that season he went to play for the San Francisco 49ers and ended up winning the Super Bowl with them in 1981.  His early success would unfortunately be cut short when he started to develop worsening symptoms from the years of head trauma and found himself being rushed to the emergency room for one of his eventual 9 life-saving brain surgeries.  His fight for his life and eventual battle with the NFL to cover medical cost is what inspired George to write his book, “Facing Giants”.
George’s testimony and journey is definitely worth your time and even though his story is tragic I know you be inspired by his desire to help others and unrelenting fight for life.  You can find his book and more about his story by going to http://www.georgevisger.com and you can also find his story on NFL’s “Beyond the Game” series.
