Tyler Walker, Outreach and Engagement Specialist for Big Brother Big Sister of Southwest Michigan, joins us to discuss the impact of intergenerational relationships in our community. With Big Brother Big Sister, community members have resources to foster positive relationships that help youth expand their support network. Tyler discusses the positive outcomes for youth and the community overall.

Mentoring relationships supported by Big Brother Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee can end up being some of the most meaningful relationships in participants' lives. So, when someone's Little Brother or Sister ages out of the program, it can be a minute before they're ready to jump back in and volunteer again. But many former Bigs still want to find other ways to stay engaged with BBBS. So in this episode of Little Big Chats, Dusty speaks with Matt, an alumni big brother and board member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee. They discuss the journey of being a big brother and the importance of staying engaged with the organization even after formal mentorship ends. Matt shares his personal experiences, and together, they talk about other opportunities for former Bigs to continue to support the BBBS mission.

In this engaging conversation between Alex and his 'little brother' Carl from the Big Brother Big Sister program, they reflect on their journey over the past 14 years.

They also talk about Carl's educational journey and career aspirations, his strength in overcoming adversities, and maintaining positivity despite life's setbacks. This heartfelt exchange highlights the importance of mentorship and personal growth.  About Our Featured Charity:  This season, Alex Perry On Fire is making a monetary contribution to each guest's charity of choice.

Fellas, we've gotta have a hard talk. Because, frankly, not enough men are stepping up to the plate to volunteer as mentors with Big Brother Big Sisters. And at BBBS of Metro Milwaukee, there are hundreds of young men just sitting on the waiting list. Maybe you're scared you don't have what it takes, maybe you're afraid of the time commitment, maybe you just don't think you can make a difference. But in this episode, we're going to introduce you to Otis, JT, Glen and Joseph: four Big Brothers who are proving that one man can make a difference in the world. They'll talk about the mentoring myths that keep so many guys from volunteering, and share their own proudest moments as Big Brothers.

In this week's episode, our hosts sit down with the talented actor, Travis Van Winkle, who also happens to be one of Justin and Jamey's closest friends. They dive into a wide-ranging discussion covering dating, overcoming trauma, friendship insecurities, alcohol, the Roman Empire trend, and the art of embracing life's imperfect timing. When he's not gracing the screen, Travis Van Winkle devotes much of his time to his role as a Big Brother in the Big Brother Big Sister mentorship program. He opens up about his transformative experience as a mentor to his "little brother," Lyrik, and the revelation that he's more ready than ever for fatherhood. Travis shares his refreshed perspective on dating and marriage, opting for authentic human connections over dating apps while also acknowledging that the gift of marriage may not be in his immediate future. Later in the episode, Travis lays out his “curriculum for life” made up of the different challenges, learnings and lessons he's gained along the way. And Justin and Jamey reflect on Travis as a close friend, sharing heartwarming moments from their 20+ years of friendship, including a particularly vulnerable incident that threatened to tear them apart early on.

Its Super Bowl week and Mike Faunce joins Sports ‘n Torts. Originally from New Jersey, Mike moved down to Georgia 25 years ago to play college baseball. However, his roots and teams he cheers for remain up North – namely, the PhiladelphiaEagles and Philadelphia Phillies. Mike talks about seeing the Eagles win their first Super Bowl in franchise history in 2017 in Minneapolis and what that meant to his community and family. We fast forward to Mike being in Philadelphia with his dad for the playoff game a few weeks ago against the Giants and being back in this year's Super Bowl. Mike breaks down the key matchups in the game and gives his predictions on what will happen. We go through an assortment of prop bets (for example o/u the national anthem being 2 minutes and 5 seconds), discuss the half time show and memorable commercials. Basically soup to nuts about the “Big Game”. Though he does not fit the stereotype, Mike explains why “Philly fans” have the reputation that they do. On the them of Philadelphia, we of course do some Bryce Harper and Trea Turner talk.As stated, Mike played college baseball as a pitcher. We talk about the current state of youth baseball and his advice to us dads out there on best practices for our kids. We talk arm care, throwing curve balls, playing multiple sports and focusing on development. A must listen for anyone with kids who are playing youth baseball. Mike also has the best bourbon collection of anyone I have ever seen. An owner of 700+ bottles, he talks about how he first got into collecting, his reasons for collecting and the joy it provides him. Finally, we talk about Mike's involvement with the Big Brother Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta Program. Mike has been a Big Brother to Jaylen since he was 5 years old. He is now 20 and they remain as close as ever. It is a truly remarkable program and Mike was recognized a few years ago as the “Atlanta Big Brother Of the Year”. One of the best guys around on the above topics and many others – I know you will enjoy listening to Mike. As always, this episode is powered by the J.

We are baaaack!!! This week the ladies rant about postoffice smells and how 20/20 news is trying to confuse us.   ****CLEANSIING BREATH*****   Jess Corner - Hollywood  Jess recalls when she dressed inappropriately for Marilyn Manson and as a result was mistaken, twice, for a lady of the night.    Dana Corner - Kids Are Amazing  Teens who are turning away from their phones   Jess Rave - La Colombe Monaco Coffee and unstuck.org Together with Unstuck and our suppliers, we are helping to create jobs for refugees.  The Columbian coffee beans in this producct are sourced from a producer hiring Venezuelan refugees. Refugees are often “stuck” - unable to put down roots where they've fled to - and mostly unable to go back to the places they once called home. Jobs allow refugees to start a new chapter - one with commutes, coworkers, and community vs. instability, shelters and aid. Jobs are the first step in refugees becoming UNSTUCK.   Our first coalition of brand partners are working with suppliers hiring Venezuelan refugees in Colombia and Peru. More than 6 million Venezuelans (over 20% of the population) — have been forced to flee their country due to violence, political repression, and economic collapse. We are currently working with 6 supplier partners that have committed to hiring refugees so they make up 20% of their workforce by 2025. By the end of our first year, over 300 refugees will have decent, legal jobs with our suppliers - and we've only just begun. As we work with more suppliers, in more countries and more brands - creating more products bought by more people - this number will continue to grow!     Dana Rave - Dudes For Dads is a Nonprofit Organization built by a group of men from Arlington, VA, and the University of Miami who either lost their father figure or never had one. Fueled by our Dads' lessons of service and compassion, we formed the organization to help guide younger boys who never had a father figure or those that lost theirs recently.  The organization connects people who have gone through the loss of a father figure and guides them throughout the process. Dudes For Dads is committed to helping cover tangible and intangible experiences that come with the loss of a father. We've partnered with Big Brother Big Sister of the National Capital Area, which has served at-risk youth through comprehensive and enduring mentoring relationships in the DC, MD, and VA areas since 1949. Dudes For Dads plans to be an established nonprofit after our first fundraiser    **We mentioned our friend, Artemis Pebdani, as a good resource to keep up and find ways to help with what is happening in Iran.

Ignite Your Purpose (ft. John O'Leary)How John O'Leary went from out of the fire into the hearts of millionsOPENING QUOTE:“Jack taught me four things, real quick: say yes, show up, come back, bring friends. And that's what I want to do. We want to change the world one life at a time, starting with yours.”—John O'LearyGUEST BIO:John O'Leary is a two-time national bestselling author and world-renowned thought leader who, in 1987, was burned by a massive explosion in his home that left burns on 100% of his body. He was given less than a 1% chance to live. Today, John hosts the Live Inspired Podcast, which has more than 2.5 million downloads, and speaks to over 50,000 people every single year.Links:WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYoutubeCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[2:10] - Being Awake vs. Feeling AliveThe moment John came to life was long after the fireFor two decades after the fire, John felt lost and directionless. Then he began to consider his talents, and how they could be used to create a life of purpose regardless of what had come before. Today, John speaks powerfully on the difference between simply being awake and feeling alive. We should all seek a life that makes us feel alive every day.[14:36] - A Ladder On the Wrong WallWhy relentless drive is nothing without purposeJohn describes a conversation he had with someone who obtained every material success, before succumbing to addiction and losing it all. The way he puts it, he had reached the top of the ladder— but the ladder was leaning up against the wrong wall. What are the ladders in our lives? Are we sure we're climbing toward a destination that's worth reaching?[21:28] - The Heroes That Make UsYou don't have to make yourself the protagonist in your storyIn the speaking industry where both Paul and John have made a career, it's easy for some speakers to slip into self-aggrandizing stories of their own achievements. But both our host and our guest prefer to focus on the impact of those who have touched their lives— after all, we are made by the people who shape us.[38:09] - The Power of EmpathyLove and grace through pain and sufferingAfter the fire that burned 100% of John's body and destroyed his parents home, John expected his father to be furious. Instead, he expressed how proud he was of John for getting through this tremendous trial. John never forgot the lesson in this experience— that a little empathy toward the people we love can transform their lives and our own.RESOURCES:[1:21] On Fire and In Awe, by John O'Leary[9:07] Live Inspired Podcast[18:47] Suicide Statistics in the U.S.[28:06] Big Brother Big SisterFollow John:WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYoutubeFollow Paul:Keynote Speaking WebsitePlaymakers PodcastThe Power of Playing OffenseLinkedInFacebookTwitterInstagramYoutubeSHOW PARTNER:The WHY InstituteAre you ready to find your ‘why'?

Jenny Mischel and Jessica Elliot are both professionals working to improve the situation with bullying. Jenny comes at this problem through academia. She holds a PHD in Educational Psychology and works as a development coordinator and facilitator with Payton's Project and is a visiting assistant professor at Oxford College at Emory University. Jessica is in the trenches as a school counselor at Fairfax County Public Schools and also works with Jenny and Payton's Project to tackle this dire topic. With US Hospital Admissions for non fatal self harm for young girls age 10-14 is up 189% and 62% for Girls aged 15-19, Nearly triple what it was in 2009 and Suicide rates for yougn girls age 10-14 are up 151% and gor girls aged 15-19 is up 70% compared to an average from 2001-2011. (Information taken from The Social Dilemma sourced from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). These numbers are terrifying. This data is linked to the onset of constant usage of social media. So with this issue, our girls need us. The time is now to contribute to the solution. You can spread this information, mentor, join a cause like Big Brother Big Sister and then volunteer in schools, or even become a researcher or fundraiser/investor to companies and schools combatting the war on bullying and premature death of children victimized by social dysfunctions. Mel's experience with bullying as a pre-teen and teenager seemed to set off a vicious cycle for her. One that led her to being further bullied in front of millions of people by the producers of America's Next Top Model. The producers actually told her that past contestants who fought against their edits, like Jade, were ridiculed by the media, and that she should simply "just take it.". But Mel has always fought back against her edit on the show stating that she was served a character portrayal that had lasting public ramifications and mental health damages to her for over a decade. This candid conversation between the 3 ladies is the first time Mel opens up about all of her bullying past and how she has overcome this into a life of happiness and purpose. Jessica, who had a background in fashion as well, quickly realized the truths about the fashion industry and stepped into counseling instead. Jenny also had been bullied as a child. These 3 women courageously share their knowledge, research, and experiences and hopefully shed some light on bullying and cyberbullying today. Enjoy and please feel free to reach out to any of the women for additional comments, contributions, or volunteering opportunities. Much more to come from this magical trio!
