Professional baseball has featured a bevy of superstars over the past century and a half, but only a few of them have impacted their sport and cities as deeply as Willie McCovey and Billy Williams. Born just a handful of miles apart in 1938, they grew up in and around one of the sport's true cradles, Mobile, Alabama, on their way to producing two iconic careers in Major League Baseball. In A Time for Reflection: The Parallel Legacies of Baseball Icons Willie McCovey and Billy Williams (Rowman & Littlefield, 2025), Jason Cannon examines these two legends of the game. Overcoming the heinous racism of the Jim Crow South as part of the second generation of African American major leaguers who followed in the footsteps of Jackie Robinson, they became two of baseball's all-time greatest players. Off the field, they took impactful stands for racial progress that continue to resonate today. Their personal resolve, leadership in the clubhouse, and dedication to their baseball communities endeared them to teammates and fans alike. Featuring original interviews with family members, friends, teammates, and Williams himself, A Time for Reflection brings to life their monumental accomplishments on the diamond, while also detailing how McCovey and Williams grew into pillars of San Francisco and Chicago and inspired future generations of ballplayers. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out in the fall of 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

As we navigate the hard market, securing carrier appointments, and the effects of industry consolidation, especially on smaller agencies, the road ahead is anything but smooth. I share personal insights on these hurdles and how the volatile political climate of an election year could further complicate our landscape. Plus, we can't ignore the seismic shifts brought on by remote workforces and artificial intelligence, or the insufficient support from technology partners amidst our growing reliance on InsurTech. These elements are all pivotal in our strategic approach to future-proofing our agencies. Listen in as I tackle the intricate balance of staying informed on societal and political fronts without allowing them to hijack our focus from professional responsibilities. I discuss the strategies for managing these distractions in the workplace and present the case for embracing remote work, highlighting the immense value of expanding our talent pool beyond geographical boundaries. Virtual assistants and the untapped potential of underrepresented demographics, such as single parents, could be the game-changers we need. Flexible working conditions might just be the key to unlocking new levels of productivity and commitment. To cap it off, we'll reflect on my journey from agency trenches to consultancy peaks, and how I'm leveraging that experience to guide others through the insurance growth masterclass. I touch on the importance of discerning trust within the industry, inspired by my conversation with the esteemed Billy Williams, and how to filter through the multitude of voices to find those that truly aid in business growth.

Living on the Narrow Path  Billy Williams pt 2 In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus told us to be careful on which path we choose to follow. His advice: “Take the narrow path.”  That is what we will be discussing today. Amen! With so many religious doctrines floating around out there right now, living on the “Narrow Path” is definitely needed to keep our feet on the right path to salvation. Amen! Our guest today is the author of a book titled, “The Narrow Path.” Pastor Billy Williams was raised in Los Angeles.  His story did not start off with what most people will think is blessed. He was SOLD as a baby. Amen.  He suffered many disappointments over his life. Rejection being one of them that he had to conquer. Amen. A US Army Veteran, Pastor Billy Williams is now in the Army of God. He is the pastor of an online church called, “Unity Christian Fellowship” in New Mexico.  He also has television program called, “Living the Narrow Path”. He is here today to talk about his book, “Living on the Narrow Path” and how that is especially important with all that is happening right now in this world in which we live. This is part two of our interview. How and why did you get started in media ministry? You share that when things look tough, we should never give up – but continue to strive for the high mark which is in Christ Jesus. Amen!  Share about how you encourage people with that message… What do you see happening today that reinforces the need for that message to continue to be broadcast far and wide? Pastor, this has been so interesting. What is your message you would like to leave with our audience today? If someone wants to obtain a copy of your book, “Living on the Narrow Path,” how can they do that? Is it on Amazon? If someone would like to reach out to you, to ask a question or perhaps do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? If someone is in the New Mexico area, how can they watch or listen to your program? Of course, they can tap into your website to watch or listen, correct? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, this day and time we are living in is growing darker, in the natural, every single day. Think about… the COVID pandemic; the recession, inflation, wars and rumors of wars… now, Israel is surrounded by her enemies.  Does any of this sound familiar? We need to continue to preach the Gospel far and wide and share it with as many people as possible. Pastor Billy Williams is doing just that. Amen! I encourage you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. Reach out and listen to his programing. Be sure to order a copy of his great book, “Living on the Narrow Path.” Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Billy Williams. Pastor, it is a blessing to have you on the program today. I do appreciate it. First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Billy Williams?” Now, I have to go back to the beginning. You were sold as a baby? Can you explain that for us? How was your family life as you were growing up? When were you in the Army? What did you do after military service? At what point did you get married? When did you come to the Lord? Why did you write this book, “Living on the Narrow Path?”  Why now? How and why did you get started in media ministry? I encourage you to drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. Reach out and listen to his programing. Be sure to order a copy of his great book, “Living on the Narrow Path.” Amen! In fact, click the link on his website and send along an offering of support! Praise God! And do it right now – while it is fresh in your mind. Don't let the devil talk you out of it. Amen!

Billy Williams was born in the Rondo community in St. Paul in 1877 and was the only African American player and captain on the Saints' team. Williams was a star on and off the field -- as he went on to work at the Minnesota State Capitol for Governor John A. Johnson in 1905. He worked for fourteen governors until he retired in 1957. This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Music by Gary Meister.

#DavidKaplan & #GordonWittenmyer are the best #Cubs sparring partners in the business and right out of the gate they show disgust at the worst team in the National League.  How did they get here?  Why are they here?  After an above average April, it's been an absolutely awful May.  It even included the team giving out Hall of Famer #BillyWilliams bobbleheads with the WRONG NUMBER!!!!  The #Reds swept the #Cubs last weekend.  Are they actually a team with a better future?Then, the boys pivot to #KyleHendricks, who returned to the rotation for the first time since July of 2022.  Kap says he thinks Kyle is back to his former self.  Gordon poses the question to Kap.  Where does Kyle Hendricks fit in Cubs history and lore as a pitcher who isn't Hall a Famer, but one of the all-time Cubs greats.  Is he a great?  Some Cubs greats believe so.  Comment below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️The conversation pivots to not if the Cubs will be sellers but who will they sell when they do?  Kap believes they don't have much to sell, but #CodyBellinger appears to be the lone position player that they have to do so assuming he's healthy sooner than later.The guys go through young arms if they do decide to move on from #MarcusStroman.Finally - the guys discuss accountability.  Does #TomRicketts have the where with all to hold #JedHoyer, #DavidRoss and the front office accountable for failure?  Because Gordon believes that it's easiest to tear it down...but to build it up and keep it that way?  That's the talent...and the Cubs haven't proven it after the first one.At the end - the guys laugh and rip the fact that Billy Williams'  bobblehead had the wrong number when given away on Saturday night against the Reds.And CONGRATS to Gordon for landing the beat writer gig for the Reds with the #CincinnatiEnquirer.

And those are the kind of legacy impact things that I want to leave.” - Dr. Billy Williams “Those are the two legs: discipline or regret.
