This week's guest is Crystal Seitz, President of Pennsylvania's Americana Region, and Berks County's #1 Cheerleader. Crystal is a native of Berks County and knows the importance of being a positive impact where you live. She is a firm believer in supporting organizations and causes that provide a benefit to one's community, as well as going out and becoming a part of the good. We also discuss Crystal's adventures (getting lost) in Africa, life after the pandemic, and how you need to stop and smell the roses – FOR REAL! “When you support your people going out and doing that kind of work, or you yourself do it, you're generating things within yourself. Different skills, networking skills, people skills, communication skills. If you run an event, you're doing organizational skills, and leadership skills – there's a whole bunch of things that go along with doing (community work.)” – Crystal Seitz

Dan Clouser tells Zeke the remarkable story of how Berkshire Baseball started on a baseball diamond and metamorphosed into the glittering diamond that is the BIG Vision Foundation. “Berkshire Baseball was born of a love for baseball -- a group of adults who just wanted to continue playing baseball," recounts Clouser, president of the BIG (Berkshire Innovative Growth) Vision Foundation. “Guys who played on a team together and also coached other teams against each other." In so doing, they learned they could touch the lives of young athletes on and off the field. BIG Vision strongly emphasizes good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, dignity, humility, class and respect for authority.
