In this powerful and deeply moving podcast episode, Stock and Hicksy sit down with Roy Woolwine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/roy-woolwine-b7a0387/), who turned an unimaginable tragedy into a mission of hope. After losing his teenage son Frankie in a drunk-driving accident, Roy founded the Frankie Woolwine Story Foundation (https://thefrankiechallenge.org/). It is a non-profit organization dedicated to warning high schoolers about the real, life-altering consequences of impaired driving.
Roy tells Stock and Hicksy about his journey through grief, the community that supported him, and what pushed him to share Frankie’s story with high schoolers across the country and in the Richmond, VA area. His message has reached over four million students, inspiring them to make smart, life-saving choices. Thanks to a junior board made up of Frankie’s friends, strong community support, and Roy’s powerful message, the foundation has expanded its reach, all in the hope of preventing more tragic deaths. Roy also describes how losing his first wife affected Frankie and how we need to find someone to talk about our pain. Don't keep it in. Share it with others and seek healing,

"Resilience, Family, and Life Lessons": Marvin Bush, Winston Capital Management
Hicksy began this podcast by giving a shoutout to Kyle Benson, who is fighting lymphoma cancer at UVA Medical Center. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
Stock and Hicksy then turn their attention to their podcast guest, Marvin P. Bush. He is a University of Virginia grad who grew up in a well-known political family, yes, his father was President George H.W. Bush, and his brother is President George W. Bush. Marvin talks about the stunning cancer diagnosis that his wife, Margaret, had when she was only six years old. He also describes his own serious health issue at 29 years old while on a business trip. Marvin shares how family support and faith carried him through adversity and shaped the values he lives by today.
Resilience and loved ones make all the difference when tackling health challenges. A political upbringing gave Marvin a unique perspective on relationships and leadership. His education and athletics at Woodbury Forest and UVA left a lasting impact. Adoption was also a life-changing chapter for Marvin and Margaret. Successful businesses thrive when you surround yourself with capable people. He also tells the podcast audience the lessons he learned from his father on leadership, and from tennis on humility and sportsmanship
