Send us a textThe rollercoaster of parenthood hits different when you're watching your children approach major life transitions. In this raw, unfiltered episode, I dive deep into the emotional whirlwind of having my son graduate high school while my daughter prepares to enter the jungle of middle school.What happens when our children reach these pivotal moments, and we suddenly realize just how unprepared they might be for what's coming next? I share the text from my son that stopped me in my tracks: "Dad, I don't know what I'm going to do." After 12 years of structured education, many young adults feel completely lost about their next move—a feeling I remember all too well from my own graduation.Parenthood comes with horror stories that keep us up at night. From shocking teenage behaviors to predatory adults targeting our children, the world can feel like a horror movie that our kids are walking into unprepared. But through these fears, we must remember our crucial role: teaching our children that failure isn't fatal—it's formative.The sun doesn't shine every day for a reason. Rain is necessary for growth. Similarly, our children need both successes and failures to develop resilience and character. As parents, we can't prevent every hardship, but we can teach them how to stand back up, dust themselves off, and move forward with the wisdom gained from each fall.Life is a chessboard requiring strategy, foresight, and adaptability. Some of us start as pawns but can evolve into more powerful pieces through experience and learning. Are you teaching your children to play checkers, reacting to one move at a time, or chess—thinking several moves ahead?Tune in for an honest conversation about navigating parenthood's most challenging transitions and preparing our children for a world that won't always be sunshine and rainbows. Because sometimes the most important parenting happens when we let our children face the rain.Support the show

L is for Ligtnin' (and) Licks. Ladies Love Loud Losers, listen...In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For the past six decades, artists the world over in every artistic medium have used Eno's strategy while attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2025, lazy, lackluster yet somehow still award-winning* hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential theme of their upcoming forty-third episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they have a reasonably solid grasp of the alphabet and how it works.

Most AI chatbots are built to answer FAQs—but that only solves a fraction of the problem. According to Deon Nicholas, founder of Forethought, just 23% of support inquiries are informational. The other 77% require action—like account lookups, password resets, and policy decisions. That's where most GenAI tools fall short—and where agentic AI steps in. On the latest episode of The Modern Customer Podcast, recorded live at the Qualtrics X4 Summit, Deon and I go rapid-fire on the future of AI in CX and EX. We cover: ✅ Why most chatbots can't handle the majority of real-world support needs ✅ What agentic AI is—and why it's reshaping customer experience ✅ How to personalize at scale without compromising trust ✅ What proactive AI looks like—and why it's the next evolution If you're serious about using AI to drive real CX results, this episode is packed with insight you can't afford to miss.

Send us a textWhat does it take to build mental toughness in professional athletes? Deon Hodges pulls back the curtain on the world of elite sports performance training in this eye-opening conversation.As a partner at AI Hospitality and leader of their IBI performance facility in Las Vegas, Hodges has carved out a unique space in the competitive fitness landscape by focusing on substance over flash. "We're not magnifying the 'look at me' aspect," he explains, distinguishing his approach from the Instagram-ready workouts that dominate social media. His facility has become a destination for NFL, NBA, UFC, and WNBA athletes seeking serious training in a city known for distractions.Hodges' journey into exercise science began with personal adversity when he tore his ACL during spring football practice in high school. This setback introduced him to physical therapy and sparked his interest in sports science as a career path. Now, he uses that experience to connect with athletes during their most vulnerable moments. "The problem is not the problem—it's how you respond to it," he shares, reflecting on how he supports professionals through injuries and setbacks.What's particularly refreshing about Hodges' philosophy is his emphasis on simplicity and fundamentals. Rather than creating complicated routines designed to impress, he focuses on education and building sustainable habits. "My biggest thing is how can I educate you when you're not with me," he says, highlighting his commitment to empowering athletes rather than making them dependent on his guidance.Beyond training methodology, Hodges offers valuable insights about business development through his work with AI Hospitality. He stresses the importance of vulnerability and asking questions instead of pretending to know everything—wisdom that applies far beyond the gym floor. As Las Vegas continues to evolve into a sports mecca, Hodges and IBI Performance stand ready to support the next generation of athletic excellence.Follow Deion on Instagram and X at @_DHodges and visit IBI Performance to experience their premium training approach firsthand.

The world may be on fire, but at least baseball is returning. That's some welcome good news. The cleats clickin', the mitts poppin', the bats crackin'...oh man! The sounds of this soon-to-be-season are as satisfying as she gets, folks! In honor of our Detroit Tigers' Grapefruit League season kicking off (acceptable mixed-sports metaphor) today, we're placing a refreshing treat in our episode feed.Deon created the original pilot episode of Lightnin' Licks Radio in May of 2019. He did so to test all of the music and recording equipment in the basement and also to convince Jay that their stories could ultimately be rendered as a sonically palatable product, therefore presenting podcasting as a worthwhile endeavor. Well...it worked! Jay agreed to partner with Deon thus Lightnin' Licks Radio podcast was born.This is that fateful pilot episode.Although it doesn't sound too similar to what the podcast would eventually become as far as format is concerned, the storytelling element was strong from day one, with vinyl records and other found-sound / field recordings / archival audio sources playing an important role in the story. If you haven't already heard this episode and you enjoy baseball, poetry, or stories of childhood memories, give it a listen. We think it's pretty cool.When many Michiganders think spring, we think baseball. And many spring-loving, baseball-minded Mitten-dwellers have a special place in their hearts for Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Detroit Tigers for many generations. This episode was written and recorded a few days after news broke that Ernie's widow Lulu had passed away at the age of 99, not long before the 9th anniversary of her legendary broadcaster husband's death. We hope you enjoy it.Oh, and...Go Tigers.

We enjoyed chatting with Deon Mayes, Treasurer of the Electrical Workers Minority Caucus (EWMC), about his career path and experience with the EWMC. If you've met Deon, you already know how passionate he is.

Send us a textImagine being a sick or injured child entering the healthcare system and being approached by nurses and doctors wielding strange objects, sharp needles, and unpleasant medications. Now picture being the parent of that child, who naturally wants to protect and advocate but lacks the health literacy to comprehend what is happening. Whether parent or child, you would likely be terrified and would want someone like Nurse Deon on your side.Fortunately, there is Deon Huffman, a pediatric nurse with 10 years of experience dedicated to educating both parents and children. He helps them understand common procedures in a clear and approachable manner, never condescending. Deon's YouTube videos cover a variety of topics, including healthy eating for kids, understanding emotions, vital signs, and the MRI machine. His trips to the zoo are both educational and entertaining.Nurse Deon doesn't work alone; his team includes physicians, child life specialists, and even puppets. Together, they create an evidence-based educational broadcast that rivals any popular children's programming.Research shows that when parents and children are educated, their anxiety levels decrease which makes our job as healthcare professionals easier and more enjoyable, creating a win-win situation for everyone involved.In the five-minute snippet: let them eat cake!
