Today we have another great episode lined up for you. My guest and I originally met back in December 2021, as a part of a business coaching community that we are both in. When I met him, he was still working a job while beginning to build his business on the side. The transformation that this guest has had since then, is impressive to say the least.I look up to this guy and all that he stands for. I respect him as so many do, as a husband, father, and entrepreneur. He's an incredible golfer, and one of the hardest working people that I know. You are going to get so much value, inspiration, and motivation from this episode, and I can't wait. My guest today is Josh Spradlin. Josh is the Owner of Alliance Engineering & Consulting. He resides in Tennessee with his wife Myka who also runs the business with him, and children. Josh Spradlin, P.E. holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Virginia Military Institute, where he also maintained a scholarship playing Division I baseball for all 4 years.  Josh has over 22 years of experience in the Civil & Environmental Engineering and construction fields. Since 2001 he has compiled an extremely comprehensive background in construction, structural design, land development and water/wastewater engineering.  During the recession of 2008, he and his wife Myka started a residential general construction company from scratch in 2007 and grew it from nothing to a multi-million-dollar company in just 3 years.  He has 15 years of true, ‘start from scratch' business leadership, consulting services and construction experience at the helm of Alliance Engineering & Consulting, LLC where he is providing turn-key design services including surveying, civil site design, structural design, construction consultation and inspections for the premier construction companies and developers in the Middle TN area.

For many outside of the state, the swift expulsions of state Reps. Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson from the Tennessee General Assembly were a shocking display of power by the state's Republican supermajority. But for longtime observers, this was a continuation of patterns that have persisted over recent decades, as African Americans in the state have seen their political influence diminished. In this episode, we explore the shifting electoral and political landscape that has challenged African American political power in Tennessee, and what efforts are underway to reverse this trend. But first, WPLN criminal justice reporter Paige Pfleger gives a preview of the gun dispossession law that will be considered in the General Assembly's special session. Guests: Sekou Franklin, professor of political science at Middle Tennessee State University and co-author of Losing Power: African Americans and Racial Polarization in Tennessee Politics Rep. Vincent Dixie, state representative, District 54 Jimmie Garland, vice president of Middle TN, Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP; president of Clarksville branch of the NAACP Related reading: WPLN: Black leaders call out hypocrisy and racism after vote to expel Jones and Pearson from Tennessee House WPLN: The nation reacts to the Tennessee legislature's expulsion of 2 Black lawmakers Sekou Franklin: 50 Reasons Why Tennessee Matters in the Long Haul Struggle for Democracy Capital B News: Ousted Tennessee Democrats Are Returning to the House, but the State's Problems Run Deeper Washington Post: Black voting rights under threat in GOP supermajority states, lawmakers say Black voting rights under threat in GOP supermajority states, lawmakers say Politico: No One Should Be That Shocked by What's Happening in Tennessee

There's a war on America. We all know it. When you dig deeper it's  a war on multiple fronts. One of the main fronts in the war is masculinity and culture. Demasculating strong men and perverting God's design is a sure fire way to make America weak, woke, and wimpy. Join us today as we get real with the founder of warriormbs.com, Jeremy Slayden. Guest Bio: Hailing from Middle TN, Jeremy Slayden is a former All-American Athlete at Georgia Tech and professional baseball player with the Philadelphia Phillies. He is now a successful entrepreneur serving the Nashville and Atlanta areas. He lives with his wife and two sons in Franklin, TN. To his friends and teammates, he's always been … JSlay.JSlay: I was raised in a strong Christian family that loved their country and taught traditional values like hard work and personal responsibility. These values carried over into the way I approached the game of baseball. From an average young player I developed into a top high school prospect and eventually received a full ride to play at one of the top college programs in the nation, Georgia Tech. But, due to a series of painful setbacks in college, I signed lower in the MLB draft than projected. However, the Philadelphia Phillies gave me a shot, and my lifelong dream of playing Major League Baseball was now within striking distance.After years of working my way up through the minors, I was invited to MLB Spring Training. While leading the Phillies in hitting, in my last spring training game, I connected for another home run, and then lost all feeling in my legs while rounding the bases. In the most confusing moment of my life, I was carried off the field, and never got called up again. Needless to say, I was devastated. After trying to play one more season in chronic pain, the time had come to hang up my cleats.After suffering the heartbreaking injury that ended my baseball career, I ascended in the business world by becoming a successful entrepreneur. In the same stroke, I descended into a secret life that nearly destroyed my marriage and all I hold dear. Due to God's love and some wonderful people, I found help several years ago and now enjoy a healed marriage, rewarding career and lots of hope.I came out on the other side with a passion for seeking truth in all areas of life, and now develop content to help others maximize their potential, overcome debilitating struggles, and rebuild our culture from the ground up.That's why I founded JSlay: Made in the USA.JSLAY: MADE IN THE USA exists to explore, expound, and exhibit the best of the United States of America and how we can make it even better.

This week's episode is all things early learning. This episode is full of pertinent information for any parent/caregiver looking for information on how to best support their child. Early Interventionists Gina Wilson, Jenn Choate, and Kate Harris join Eric Wilson, Johnny Sunshine, and Trent Denson to share more in-depth information about Early Learning and how developmental therapy works. The team discusses different developmental milestones parents/caregivers should look out for at different ages and how to seek support from TN Early Intervention System (TEIS). At Waves, developmental therapy (DT) can start as early as birth depending on the child. Services start with a referral through TEIS. Referrals can be made by doctors or caregivers. The team talks about what to look for in your child's developmental progress, how to talk to your doctor, and how to approach the TEIS referral process. If a doctor decides to "wait and see", our team suggests to "check and see". Getting into the TEIS process and developmental therapy are free to the family. In addition to discussing milestones and the referral process, the team also shares the progression of developmental therapy and how it has changed over the last 35 years. From a classroom setting to receiving services in natural environments, developmental therapy has become a support tool for parents/caregivers as much as it is for the children being supported. This week on Waves on Wheels you get to meet Eric! Eric is a longtime participant of Waves and has incredible stories to share. This will be Part One of Two segments diving into Eric's world and his love for country music!

I've been looking forward to sitting down with today's guest, as it's been on the calendar for nearly a month! This week I had the honor of talking with Linzy Boshers. I venture to say if you're in Middle TN you've heard at least a little bit about Linzy's story. Linzy contracted COVID-19, leading to covid pneumonia in early 2022 and spent 6 weeks in the hospital and rehab. The doctors gave her a 50% chance of survival after being put on the ECMO machine and she is now a walking miracle! Linzy is a Columbia native and also an educator (hello-I know first hand how underrated they are) who has overcome a lot over the course of the last three years. It all began with losing her father suddenly, the day before starting a new position, at a new school, in a new district. Shortly after, her mother fought a 7 week battle with cancer that ultimately carried her to Heaven rather quickly to join her father. As if that wasn't enough, this storm was rounded out with Linzy literally fighting for the life of herself and her precious miracle baby, Makenna who is due on June 8th. Wow, just wow. I think there is so much that can be gleaned from this episode and the way Linzy has and continues to carry herself through...and the Lord! We discussed things she does/doesn't remember while being in and out of sedation-including hallucinations and her interactions with the nurses that were taking care of her. We talked about how special her sister Kendall is, and how this entire experience has completely solidified her faith in the Lord.  I hope y'all enjoy this conversation that yes, includes some heavy topics-but is discussed in a way that we could also laugh and give thanks.

Sheila Holman believes Human Resources should bring out the best in people by matching them with a role that allows them to thrive. We should serve as a safe place to process workplace struggles. We should advocate for living wages. We should grow our team members, even if that means losing them. And we should plan exit strategies that release the employee with grace.
