J.O.B.

We have all been optimistic when it comes to sports in the Fall. Covid-19 has been hard on us all, and we all just want some type of normalcy, but with the growing cases of coronavirus sports seem like a far memory, that we will have to explore next year. Ty and Dave take a tackle on the issue of probably not having sports in the fall.

Covid-19, the election for President, racial tension in America. It has been so hard trying to figure out what our true identity in America is right now. America itself has a lot of things to deal with, what has been ignored is now looking us right in the face. Dave and Ty always bring a different and interesting prospective into whats going on now. Dig deep with the JOBPODCAST as both Ty and Dave try and figure what America's identity is at this moment.

In this episode we take the current issues of race relations in America head-on. We pull no punches and we open our ears. Why? For progress. This is the realest podcast you never heard about.

In this episode we invite our first guest, Demetria, to add her insight along with ours on the sometimes intimidating subject of adversity. How do you deal with it when it comes into your life? Are you the type who stays on the ground, or do you get up for another round? Whatever you do, please don’t let any negative influences have power over you or your life — fight back by believing in yourself.

We take a look at the life and legacy of Kobe Bryant, and the lessons about life he left behind. He was one of the greatest players in NBA history, leaving an indelible mark on the game. In retirement, he was a champion for the WNBA and was grooming his daughter Gianna to become a future champion on the hardwood.

Look, we all struggle on a daily basis leading our children don’t we? And guess what, it will never get any easier because it’s THE MOST challenging and rewarding task we will ever experience. Keep pushing, keep grinding, and never give up. Your children need you to fight for them, not fight against them. Together, we can do this.

Are you where you think you should be? No? Guess what, it’s ok and very common. It’s not a comeback, just a setback, you got this!! Figure out who you are, set your goals, achieve them, celebrate them ... then move forward in your greatness.

So what really happened in 2019? Wow, it was a year full of so many twists and turns, wins, and losses. We made progress through pain, we also experienced unforeseen setbacks ... but we’re still here ... and with 2020 rapidly approaching, we’re focused on getting stronger and better in every facet of life.

So really, what do the holidays mean to you? They have a distinctly different meaning for everyone don’t they? Are they stressful? Joyful? Depressing? Whatever the meaning is for you, we have some stories for you!

How far has the NFL come in the last 30 years? Let’s just say this: no longer is a black QB just a running back who can throw. No longer are we led to believe that a black QB is ultra-athletic but “not intelligent enough to read the defense”. With 11 starting quarterbacks now in the NFL, this is a new day.

The teaching industry in America is in serious trouble, so how do we fix it? Can it be fixed? We talk about several aspects troubling the educational system, which is riddled with systemic issues that date back two decades.

What is wrong and what is right with each American generation? This is a legitimately hard question to answer, but we take the bull by the horns and try to come up with answers, and more importantly, solutions.

Being single in a world that is angry, selfish, and downright mean is a very difficult thing. You must know who you are, and are you put together? Are you even ready for a serious commitment? If not, then maybe this show is perfect for you. Don’t look for love, it will find you.

In this episode we examine the seemingly endless pieces left behind after divorce. There’s hurt, pain, anger, abandonment ... and if you have kids together, well that’s another level altogether. There’s no right or wrong way to go about what is one of the most difficult things you can ever go through. Communication is paramount, which is why you ended up in divorce court ... but you can change that for the better moving forward, especially if you have kids. They’re the ones who pay the highest price.

One year after our towns in Bay County were devastated by Hurricane Michael, are we as a community any better? Our environment, our surroundings are almost unchanged since the third-largest hurricane to ever hit the continental United States overwhelmed the Panhandle on October 10, 2018. How have we changed as a community and individuals? And how can we heal?

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror, and told yourself that you are enough? Probably not ... but you can, and you should!! Start today by telling yourself what you did today, not what you didn’t do. Also speak to, and listen, to your kids ... they have a story to tell, and it could change their life. Despite what you think, you are enough.

There are more than just a few examples out there for our youth to see and choose the wrong path — Antonio Brown, Cam Newton, half the of the Miami Dolphins defense — and we can’t let these bad examples dictate the direction our kids take in life. Along those lines, what choices are kids making outside of school? After the big win on a Friday night? Why do they feel they are not enough? We’re planning a one-night only public speaking event that will let the unheard, be heard — the voiceless will have a voice.

Ty Steele and Dave Ford dive deep into the daily work ethic it takes to not only discover the path to the positive thinking, but also how to maintain it toward a fulfilling life. They also question the future of football — America’s favorite game — on the heels of yet another high-profile player retiring in his prime.

Top 5, top 10, college football history — we all have our opinions — but when it comes to picking your top 5 Marvel movies, top 10 most impactful songs of the 90’s, and why the series between the Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes is important for college football ... now you have yourself one heckuva discussion.

In Episode 5 of the J.O.B. Podcast, Dave and Ty navigate through what has led them to being the best at what they hold dear — family men. They also take time to describe what they’ve observed to be the best traits of what it takes for a woman to be the best version of herself. Our choices make us, and loving ourselves opens the door to activating your calling.

Does a bully have a face? Does a bully look or sound a certain way? No ... in fact, bullying is an insidious mindset, a diabolical attitude ... and most hurtful, is that it’s a learned behavior. It’s not just physical, which is the old school stereotype. It uses words that play on emotions ... it has no beginning, and it has no end. Unless you want to be the change. Are you up for the challenge?

Episode 3 of the J.O.B. Podcast deals head-on with the epidemics of domestic violence and verbal abuse. Dave Ford and Ty Steele discuss deeply personal experiences, while mixing in gentle advice to both children and adults who may be in need of an open forum for healthy change.

Ty and Dave discuss the issues of Coaching. They also gave a behind-the-scenes look of what coaches go through. They also discuss how hard it is for committees to choose coaches. And why is it so hard to break generational curses?

It’s time to start the conversation ...The journey of this podcast is to encourage and to inspire people to be a better version of themselves. We speak and live the truth, and we encourage others by sharing our truth. “J.O.B. (Journey of Brothers)” is two guys from opposite sides of the tracks who share some of the same, but also very different life experiences. Our goal is to heal and motivate the voices that go unheard. This podcast will show the vulnerability and understanding of fathers, spouses, mentors, teachers, and coaches. Come on this journey with us as we push the boundaries of society and each other. Two men, two microphones, and a colorful yet blank canvas. It’s time to go to work.
