Episode 218: Sometimes a Story Keeps Going | The Veteran at Ridgeway and Park, a Listener Who Stopped, and the Power of Paying Attention
A few episodes ago, I told you about the veteran I had seen for years near Ridgeway and Park in Memphis.
I knew he was collecting money to help homeless veterans.
I did not know his name.
Then a listener heard the episode, saw him, stopped to talk with him, and sent me a message.
His name is Chuck White. The listener told me he served with the 101st Airborne and has been collecting money for disabled and homeless veterans for about 14 years.
And because this episode airs on Veterans Day, the story feels even more meaningful.
In Episode 218 of Summit After the Storm, I talk about what happens when a story moves someone else to act, why influence is often quieter than we think, and how simply helping people notice what they were overlooking can matter.
Sometimes the story does not end when the episode ends.
Sometimes it keeps going.
And sometimes it finds its way back to you.
To every veteran listening today: thank you for your service.

Episode 217: The Day the Story Leaves Your Hands | Summit After the Storm Is Officially Out
For the first time, I can finally say:
Order the book. Not preorder. Order.
Today, November 10, Summit After the Storm officially releases.
It also happens to be my sister Brigette’s 50th birthday, something I remember noticing the very first time my publisher gave me the release date.
In Episode 217 of Summit After the Storm Podcast, I talk about what it feels like to finally release a story I’ve carried for years, from Kilimanjaro, to journal entries, to chapters, edits, rewrites, and now a finished book that belongs to readers.
There comes a point when you have to stop holding something so tightly and let it go.
Launch it.
Trust it.
Release it.
And trust God with what happens next.
Today is one of those days.
Summit After the Storm is officially available now.

Episode 216: Practice Shows Up When Pressure Does | Why Preparation Builds Confidence and Recognition Builds Culture
We spent about twenty minutes at practice working on one specific baseball situation.
Sunday, Rhys got caught in that exact situation.
And suddenly, those twenty minutes mattered.
In Episode 216 of Summit After the Storm, I share what happened during the Orioles’ 11–3 win, including Rhys handling a rundown exactly the way we practiced it, a great relay play at third, Skyler’s huge day at the plate, Jack’s first inning pitching in a game, and why I handed out more than one game ball afterward.
The lesson went far beyond baseball.
You don’t practice for the easy moments. You prepare so you’re ready when pressure shows up.
And great leaders don’t just celebrate the obvious stars. They notice hustle, preparation, courage, teamwork, and the people doing the little things that help everyone win.
Preparation creates confidence. Recognition creates culture.
My book, Summit After the Storm, releases tomorrow, November 10. Learn more at SummitAfterStorm.com.
