For the first time, the Ten Pin Life Podcast is going LIVE! Sometimes a business or an industry is provided a major blessing in a person. Those star players are able to make a significant, positive impact on the people and processes around them in a short amount of time.  Bowling is lacking in star players overall, but we are blessed to have one of them joining us this week in Matthew Farber. Not only is Matt a gifted bowler (Junior Team USA 2013-2015, 2014 World Champion, 2018 Team USA & 5-time gold medalist) he is also devoted to being a great member of the bowling community. Matt is a certified mental health coach, has an MBA from McKendree University  and is a member of the team at KR Strikeforce. Previously, Matt was a part of the team at InsideBowling as well as Backstage Bowling where he produced some of the highest quality informative content in the entire sport of bowling. Partnering with the likes of Mike Shady, Shannon & Bryan O'Keefe and Mike Jasnau, they broke through the barrier of teaching basic concepts of bowling in an attainable way. And he's done all of this before turning 30... Needless to say, I am excited to have Matt on as a guest, but to also see where his career will take him, and how big of a positive impact he can make on the game we love so much. Ten Pin Life exists to tell the story of what it takes to live a life in bowling and to grow the love for the sport. If you want to learn more about the people, skills and equipment it takes to make ten pin bowling the greatest game there is, Ten Pin Life is for you. Thank you so much for your interest, now get out there and bowl! Follow our social media!

On today's episode, U.S. wrestler (and Marvel superfan) Alexis Porter joins the show to discuss her illustrious wrestling career and a tough decision she's recently made regarding it. But before that, Alexis and Troy get real while talking about AP's unfortunate experiences as a Black woman in America and how they pushed her to become an activist. We also talk about Colorado and Troy nerds out over NFTs. Alexis Porter is a 24-year-old currently living in Colorado Springs, CO. Since 2008, she's dreamt about representing the U.S.A. in the Olympics. AP made her high school varsity wrestling team in 7th grade, eventually winning all sorts of honors and national recognition. She then wrestled at McKendree University in Illinois, helping create a program (as an Adidas athlete!) that is now one of the best in the country. She graduated with a degree in professional writing. After McKendree, she continued her training at the University of Wyoming, where she also attends graduate school. Right now, she lives with her boyfriend and enjoys superheroes and speaking her mind. Her younger brother, Jesse, is also very close to achieving his own Olympic dream.

Memorable quotes: "I can say, honestly, this past year has been horrible, but also illuminating in a positive way because I think finally people are starting to see the kind of injustices that Black people have been seeing for generations." - AP on racism in America "It's crazy to believe that people today in 2021 still think this way. But that just goes to show how much work there has to be done because the scars that were created 400 years ago have never healed." - AP on activism "There's a certain stigma among depression and mental health issues for athletes. Because you are the tough people. You're the ones that are supposed to get through anything. You can go get treatment for your hurt knee, but not necessarily your hurt brain. And you are seen as weak by your teammates and your coaches." - Troy on mental health issues among athletes "We all have DNA. We are all citizens of the planet Earth. Let's take care of the planet. Let's take care of each other and just love. Love solves all things. It solves all problems. I'm not better than you. You are not better than me. Let's co-exist together peacefully, happily." - Troy on treating others right
