Matthew (Matt) A. Tyner, Sr. is the author of Fast and Hard: From Addictions to Redemption.    He is a man who has reinvented himself and has invested his second chance at life with building positive relationships with those around him. Matt is best known for his work as a college baseball coach, but many know him as a walk-on baseball player from the prestigious University of Miami Baseball program that made three consecutive College World Series appearances. When all the world looked bright for Matt, it was his own demons who sabotaged all of his professional and personal opportunities.  For decades he was cross addicted to drugs and alcohol, while mired in the muck of unsavory behaviors. His painfully raw memoir chronicles the scared boy running toward the monster of addictions and finally to how he found redemption. Matt speaks to reaching the ill-fated rock bottom.  His memoir shows that if not for his reckoning with his demons, he would surely have lost his life. Fast and Hard is a dark story that ends with a man accepting the embrace of his spiritual awakening, the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and the forgiveness from his family and friends. For those longing for the life of a professional athlete, Matt shares the reality of the pitfalls and detours of a professional Minor League player. He is long past his days of playing for the franchises of the Baltimore Orioles, but his recall of those days is incredible.  That life could never compare to the present life of being clean and sober for over two decades. In his addiction free life, he has dedicated his life to serving others and provides leadership through coaching and public speaking to thousands of men and women of all ages. Matt is currently a NCAA Division I Head Baseball Coach for Towson University. He is also the owner of MLT Sports Investments, LLC and a professional motivational speaker for Tyner Effect (www.Tynereffect.com). His educational background includes undergraduate studies at the University of Miami and his bachelor's degree in Business Communications from Concordia University, Indianapolis, IN Campus. https://tynereffect.com Fast & Hard - From Addictions to Redemption: https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Hard-Matthew-Tyner-Sr/dp/B0F1C3KVVD HELP SUPPORT OUR FIGHT AGAINST ADDICTION.

This week on the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm catching up with Jake Hofer. If you're into getting better at hunting and managing ground the right way, this one's for you. We talk about the real work behind whitetail management, the kind that doesn't show up in a highlight reel—tree planting, fixing screw-ups, and learning to let the land teach you a few hard lessons. Jake also talks about stepping into ownership at Whitetail Master Academy, and how diving deeper into habitat work and smarter hunting strategies has changed how he approaches chasing big deer. We cover everything from balancing work, life, and whitetails, to late-season muzzleloader success, to how traditional archery will flat-out expose your weaknesses. If you want the honest version of what it takes to get better in the deer woods, it's all packed into this episode. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 438 Balance the chaos—hunting, work, and life all even out over time. Smarter hunting starts with efficient scouting and patient land management. Every property has a ceiling—success comes from knowing and working with it. Growth in the woods (and in life) is about learning, failing, and staying hungry.

[WEEKEND RECAP 04-06-25] Conservatives understand human nature better than anyone. We don't fall for the Left's utopian nonsense that all behavior should be normalized. We recognize that some actions are inherently destructive. But we also believe in the principle “hate the sin, love the sinner.” Contrast that with the Left, who pretend to be the party of tolerance while being the most judgmental, ruthless ideologues in modern history.They claim to care about humanity, yet they excuse the most depraved behaviors imaginable. They pack our prisons. They glorify criminals. They redefine violent crime as "misunderstood behavior." They make excuses for murderers, rapists, and human traffickers while attacking law-abiding citizens for merely expressing conservative views.   Psychologists call this moral disengagement—the mental gymnastics people use to justify their own hypocrisy and cruelty. It's how radical activists can scream about "justice" while excusing looting, arson, and even murder if it serves their political cause. It's why they'll defend a convicted killer as a "victim of systemic oppression" while calling a suburban dad a "Nazi" for voting Republican.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
