Podcasts about Heavy Hitters

On the third episode of Heavy Hitters, hosted by Clay Edwards on 103.9 FM WYAB, the spotlight was on Dr. Spencer Mills, a multifaceted entrepreneur whose diverse ventures embody the spirit of "outlaw entrepreneurship." Broadcasting live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness Studio in Mississippi and streaming across platforms like Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble, the show delved into Mills' inspiring journey, his passions, and his definition of success. The episode, aired on May 19, 2025, offered listeners an engaging conversation filled with stories of cars, veterinary medicine, documentary filmmaking, and entrepreneurial grit.   Clay Edwards opened the show by introducing Mills, a veterinarian, custom car shop owner, and documentary filmmaker whose eclectic pursuits inspired the creation of Heavy Hitters. Edwards recounted how he first met Mills while making cold calls to sell radio ads. Intrigued by Mills' reputation at Gangster Garage, a custom car shop in Gluckstadt, Edwards popped in to check it out. The two hit it off, bonding over their shared love for cars, culture, and storytelling. This chance encounter led to Mills' appearance on the show, where his dynamic personality and diverse ventures took center stage.   Mills, a 36-year-old Jackson native, shared his path to becoming a veterinarian. Growing up on the north side of Jackson and attending Jackson Academy, he initially pursued a pre-med track at Ole Miss, driven by a childhood dream of owning a Lamborghini—a goal his parents tied to becoming a doctor. However, during his junior year, Mills began working at a veterinary clinic and discovered a passion for animal medicine. The excitement of going to work each morning signaled he was on the right path. He switched gears, applied to veterinary school at Mississippi State University, and graduated with a doctorate, albeit with significant student debt and a modest starting salary.   After vet school, Mills worked under mentor Dr. Dale Wilson at Mansfield Animal Clinic, where he was thrust into responsibility early on, managing the clinic solo within months of graduating. He also launched Mills Mobile Vet, a concierge house-call service, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit. Recognizing a gap in after-hours pet care in Madison County, Mills and Wilson opened UrgiVet, an emergency veterinary clinic off Highway 51 in Madison. Now five years strong, UrgiVet has become a vital resource, drawing clients from the Delta, North Mississippi, and beyond, despite minimal advertising until recently partnering with Edwards' show for brand recognition. Mills' ventures extend far beyond veterinary medicine. At Gangster Garage, he oversees a boutique custom car and motorcycle shop that tackles unique, high-end projects, from exotic cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris to family heirlooms like a 1963 classic with just 4,000 miles. The shop specializes in detailed builds, paint correction, ceramic coating, and collaborations with local partners for powder coating, tinting, and wraps. Mills described Gangster Garage as a “southern West Coast Customs,” emphasizing quality over quantity and a willingness to handle projects others shy away from. His personal fleet, including a 700-horsepower Ford Raptor and a V8 Hummer H3, reflects his lifelong love for cars, sparked by that childhood Lamborghini dream. While he's owned a Lamborghini in the past, Mills now focuses on vehicles that bring him joy, like his Raptor, which he calls a tangible reward for his hard work.   The conversation took an unexpected turn as Mills revealed his foray into documentary filmmaking through 13th South Productions. His entry into the industry came through a connection who needed custom cars built for a movie. This led to a partnership with a seasoned filmmaker who saw Mills' potential and invited him to work on a feature film shot in Canton, Madison, and the Mississippi coast. Within three years, Mills climbed the ranks to producer—a rare feat in an industry where such roles often take decades to achieve. His documentary work includes Little Brother of War, which explores the Choctaw game of stickball, a culturally significant sport akin to NFL-level passion for the tribe. Filmed at the Choctaw Fair, the project is nearing a streaming deal with major networks. Mills is also wrapping up Seize the South, a documentary on Mississippi's medical cannabis industry, featuring interviews with patients, doctors, lawmakers, and celebrities like Cheech and Chong, Jim Belushi, Mike Tyson, Willie Nelson, and soon Ric Flair, whom Mills will interview on June 13, 2025, at Southern Sky Brands' Pearl dispensary.   Throughout the episode, Edwards and Mills explored the theme of outlaw entrepreneurship—blazing one's own path to success. Mills' ventures, from UrgiVet to Gangster Garage to filmmaking, are fueled by his passions for animals, cars, and storytelling. He emphasized the importance of networking, noting how connections opened doors to his film career and other ventures, including a forthcoming gun and ammunition business, which they didn't have time to fully discuss.   When asked to define success, Mills offered a heartfelt response: it's about doing what you love, making a living from it, and finding fulfillment in the impact you have on others. For him, success is saving a pet on the brink of death and witnessing the owner's relief, or building a custom car that brings joy to a client. It's about waking up excited to work and leaving a positive mark, whether through a saved animal or a story told on screen. Reflecting on his journey, Mills admitted to moments of realization—like seeing his Raptor in a window's reflection and remembering the struggles of vet school debt—where he acknowledges how far he's come.   For those struggling to find their spark, Mills' advice was simple yet profound: pursue what excites you. Find something that makes you eager to get up each morning, and don't be afraid to take risks or pivot from a stable but unfulfilling path. His own leap from pre-med to veterinary medicine, and later into cars and film, exemplifies this mindset.

Weather Roof: A Story of Grit, Hustle, and Outlaw Entrepreneurship In the heart of Mississippi, two young entrepreneurs, Walker Pearson and Corbin Allen, have built Weather Roof, a roofing company that embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and carving your own path. Founded in 2020 by Walker, Weather Roof is more than a business—it's a testament to resilience, organic growth, and the audacity to chase success against all odds. Walker, now 26, and Corbin, 27, are the definition of outlaw entrepreneurs. Their journey began with humble roots and hard lessons. Walker faced personal rock bottom in his early 20s, battling addiction and a toxic relationship that led to multiple stints in the Madison County Correctional Facility. It was there, during a 32-day stay, that he had his "aha" moment. Surrounded by career criminals, he realized he didn't belong in that world. An ankle monitor and court-ordered programs forced him to confront his choices, sparking a fire to rebuild his life. He started Weather Roof as a one-man operation, driven by a vision and a name that popped into his head one day. With no formal business plan, he leaned on sheer determination, knocking on doors to sell roofs—an approach many shy away from but one that became the cornerstone of Weather Roof's organic culture. Corbin's story is equally compelling. Growing up in Brookhaven, Mississippi, he faced a childhood marked by instability, with a mother struggling with drug addiction and a father in and out of prison. An 8th-grade dropout, Corbin found himself in trouble throughout his teens, culminating in a two-year prison sentence at 18. In Rankin County Jail, a fellow inmate's prophetic words gave him hope: “God can use a failure, but He can't use a quitter.” That moment ignited a transformation. Upon release, Corbin taught himself carpentry through YouTube, hustling to build porch swings and furniture to make ends meet. His work ethic landed him a job in air conditioning, where he shattered expectations, selling $3 million in systems in a single year, outpacing seasoned salespeople despite his lack of formal education. Together, Walker and Corbin have scaled Weather Roof into a powerhouse with nine branded trucks and a 20-person team. Their success stems from a relentless door-to-door approach, undeterred by rejection, guns pulled, or odd encounters—like the client who sealed a $28,000 deal with a spit-soaked handshake. They've turned “no” into fuel, building a brand that now attracts clients through referrals, Google, and social media. Yet, they remain grounded in their roots, fostering a culture of growth, fitness, and mutual support, inspired by like-minded peers like Michael Deere. Weather Roof's story is about creating your own luck. From Walker's childhood dream of a Lamborghini to Corbin's hustle to provide a better life for his four kids, they've embraced the pain of entrepreneurship—mental, physical, and emotional. Their mantra? Outwork everyone, surround yourself with truth-tellers, and never fear failure. As Walker puts it, “You gotta cook.” And cook they have, proving that with grit and audacity, even the toughest storms can lead to clear skies.

Kid and Jay Bird crack open the heavy stuff right outta the gate — childhood trauma, abuse, and the kind of emotional wreckage that shapes us more than we'd care to admit. But don't worry, they don't dwell in the dark for too long. True to form, these two twist the script and steer the ship toward sports nostalgia, locker room legends, and the larger-than-life personalities that molded their youth. It's a strange brew — part therapy session, part ESPN fever dream, with a splash of existential cocktail stirred in. They dive into what the future might hold, how ambitions evolve (or straight-up dissolve), and why clinging to your heroes sometimes says more about your current state of mind than your past. At its core, this episode is a reminder that none of us have it figured the fuck out. We're all just doing our best not to fall flat on our faces — again. So, screw perfection. Chase what matters. Make some noise. Take some hits. Love hard. And maybe, just maybe, laugh your way through the chaos. It's heavy. It's human. It's honest. So buckle in, press play, and as always… Go Deep.

This week? Heavy Hitters. As you may (or may not) have heard,  journalist/Daniel Ek tormenter/friend-of-the-pod Liz Pelly is making waves with her wonderful new book “Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist.” It's easily the best thing yet written about the company at the center of modern music, insightfully reconstructing how Spotify's shifting interests and policies have remade how we listen, who we listen to, and what they get paid. To get a deeper perspective on both the book and the histories it emerges from, we also called up David Turner—of the late (lamented) Penny Fractions—pulling him out of retirement for one last big music + capitalism score. Together Liz, David, and Sam dive into everything from the economics of ghost artists and the aesthetics of vibes-based listening to the intentional destruction of cultural context in the streaming age. It's a conversation that helps clarify the singularity of Spotify culture—and allows us to better detach its operations from the meaning of digital music. Come for the playlists. Stay for what they've done to you.   Buy Liz Pelly's book "Mood Machine" Subscribe to our Newsletter!

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms HEAVY HITTER and HEAVY HEARTIn this English lesson, I'd like to help you learn the English term heavy hitter. When you say someone is a heavy hitter in a certain area, it means they are like the most famous or most powerful person in that area. If I was to have a guest on my YouTube channel, if I could convince Lucy from English with Lucy to come on my channel, she would be a heavy hitter. She would be one of the most successful and a pretty awesome English teacher to have on my channel. I should send her an email and ask her if she wants to do a collaboration again. But she would be a heavy hitter. If I needed to find a guest speaker for my class, someone to come and talk to students, if I got Matt Damon to come in, that would be a heavy hitter. That would be a pretty cool and impressive person to come and speak to my class. So a heavy hitter, a very important person or a very famous person or a combination of the two.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other term I wanted to teach you today is heavy heart. When you have a heavy heart, it means you are sad. We often use this phrase after someone passes away. After someone dies, you might say something like I have a heavy heart since my grandmother passed away, I am sad. I am feeling grief. I have a heavy heart.So to review a heavy hitter is someone important or famous or powerful. And when you have a heavy heart, it means that you're sad. Really sad. Because something in your life isn't... didn't go the way you thought it would.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Joy. The comment is. We also had a snow day a few days ago. Might as well stop all tasks and build a snowman like a kid. And my response? I wish we had the right kind of snow for that. Unfortunately it is too cold for snowman snow. So yeah, you need... Thanks Joy for that comment.You need a certain kind of snow. Oh you should have a look at this. This morning has been pretty cool. Everything's just a little bit. I don't know how to describe it but it's. It's like we had frost overnight a little bit and it has formed on the trees and branches. So pretty cool. Anyways, yeah, we don't have the right kind of snow to build a snowman. In order to build a snowman the snow has to be not melted but it has to be like 0 degrees or 1 degree or minus 1 somewhere in that range and then the snow will stick to itself. Right now the snow will not stick to itself. The snow is very, very cold.I'll give you a look at the snow in a moment. I'm just distracted by these trees.The snow is very, very cold. And so for some reason, when the snow is that cold, the snow will not stick to itself. When you make a snowman, you have to roll the snow. And as you roll the snowball, it gets bigger and bigger. And that's where comes from for something to snowball. If you start rolling a snowball when conditions are right, as you roll it, the snowball sticks to the snow you roll it onto, and then it slowly gets bigger and bigger. It's a pretty unique thing. The next time we have snow that is the right kind of snow for making a snowman. I should make a snowman for you so you can see how it works.By the way, when you make a snowman, when the weather's right for that, it's also a good day to make a snow fort. Snow forts are fun. I built a lot of snow forts when I was a kid. A snow fort's like a little mini house that you build outside out of snow. It's not an igloo. That's something different again. But, yeah, snow forts. And then we would have snowball fights. I miss those days.Support the show

It's a tragic day in Washington, D.C. as an American Airlines plane carrying 64 passengers and 4 crew plunged into the Potomac river after colliding with a Blackhawk helicopter carrying 3 military service members. Sadly there are no survivors as the coast guard along with local and state officials rushed into action. President Trump delivered a message of mourning and grief on our nation as the recovery mission is underway. Sean Duffy had to deliver a difficult message on his first day as Secretary of Transportation and Pete Hegseth stated the black hawk was conducting a training flight with a fairly experienced crew. RFK Jr. has his second confirmation hearing on Capitol hill today as well as Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel.

A Note from James:Today, we have a remarkable guest, John Mackey, the founder of Whole Foods. Whole Foods is my go-to place for groceries, whether I'm shopping in-store or ordering via Instacart. John's story is fascinating. He started as a young, hippie-ish guy living in a commune and working in a food co-op. One day, he thought, "Hey, I could do this," and opened his first store, Saferway, humorously named to poke fun at Safeway. Over time, this venture grew into the massive empire we now know as Whole Foods, which was eventually acquired by Amazon.John's journey is detailed in his new book, which captures the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. Despite his seemingly hippie background, John evolved into an ardent capitalist, recognizing that innovation thrives on the competition capitalism inspires. In our conversation, we delve into how he evolved over the decades and the invaluable advice he shared with me.So, here's John Mackey with the whole story: adventures in love, life, and capitalism.Episode Description:In this episode, James Altucher welcomes John Mackey, co-founder of Whole Foods Market.
