When was the last time you were asked for your 10-year plan? Did you have an answer? If not…that may be a good thing. Scott Whitlock, CEO of Flexware Innovation, joins Joe and Reid on this week's episode of 1,000 Stories to share his personal philosophy on accountability partners, the importance of asking questions, finding a job that you're passionate about, becoming an approachable leader, the Enneagram, and more. Scott shares his first-hand insight on these topics to help you become a strong leader in the workplace, love your job, and understand your co-workers on a deeper level—all while reminding us that not having your “next step” planned out might actually be the key to your growth.   In this episode, you'll learn: In order to find what you love, you need to sit down with different people and ask them questions about what they do. You were given a mouth to speak and ears to listen! It's better to decline a job offer that you are completely uninterested in than to take it. It's better to find a position that you love than be in one where you're miserable. Setting milestones, goals, and guideposts can help you stay accountable.   To claim 10% off of your first month of BetterHelp, use the code 1000STORIES here: https://betterhelp.com/1000stories   Resources: Follow Scott: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwhitlock/ Flexware Innovation's website: https://www.flexwareinnovation.com/

One of the top up and coming talents in the volleyball community, Schunzel comes to Kennesaw State from the University of Kentucky where he spent the past two seasons as the Wildcats’ lead assistant under head coach Craig Skinner. “We are delighted and thrilled about the hiring of Coach Schunzel,” said Kennesaw State Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams. “I am extremely confident that we have hired the perfect fit to take our volleyball program to the next level.” “I am incredibly excited and grateful to join the Kennesaw State athletics family,” said Schunzel. “This is a thriving university and welcoming community. I first want to express my sincere gratitude to KSU Athletic Director Vaughn Williams, the search committee led by Scott Whitlock, and the many others involved in this process. While at Kentucky, Schunzel helped lead the Wildcats to a 50-17 record in two seasons, including a pair NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 showings. He served as the offensive coordinator while working primarily with the team’s setters, helping boost the UK offense to one of the best in the nation during his tenure. Schunzel also worked as the team’s liaison to the compliance department as well as overseeing scheduling, planning practices and opponent scouting. During the 2012 season, the Wildcats compiled a 22-11 overall and recorded NCAA Tournament victories over East Tennessee State and Ohio State before falling to Penn State in the third round. Kentucky concluded the year ranked No. 20 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) final poll. “Kennesaw State hit a home run in hiring Keith,” Skinner said. “He has an unbelievable IQ and passion for the game that will inevitably lead the program to new heights. His work ethic is outstanding, and he will be a great example for the team to follow. We are excited for Keith and his family to begin this new chapter in their lives.”

1995 NCAA Softball Championship Game

Inside the 1995 Season Following four years of fastpitch softball in the NAIA, the Kennesaw State Owls were ready for a new challenge. A record of 176-29 and four consecutive finishes in the top-four nationally made it apparent that head coach Scott Whitlock and his upstart program were poised for bigger and better things. Beginning in 1995, the Black and Gold began their journey in the world of NCAA sports, as the entire athletic department made the move to compete at the Division II level. A move up to a higher and more prestigious level of play generally means some early struggles as a program adjusts to the greater demands of competition and the added attention. For Owls softball, however, the move to Division II meant immediate continued success, as Whitlock and his group of 12 returnees and talented newcomers plowed through the competition on their way to a 53-5 overall record to win the NCAA Division II national championship, a mark that included a perfect 14-0 record in their new league, the Peach Belt Conference. In addition to being able to count on trusted veterans Kelly Rafter, whose 32-5 record and 0.85 earned run average would make her the 1995 NCAA Division II National Player of the Year, and offensive juggernauts Tonya Carlisle, Colleen Thorburn and Cara Dornstauder, the Black and Gold also added some key pieces that would help them reach the pinnacle of their sport. Dee Webb, a junior pitcher from Arizona, brought championship experience with her to Kennesaw, fresh off being a key part of Glendale Community College’s 1994 NJCAA National Championship team. As a regular part of the starting rotation, Webb went undefeated in her lone season with the program, going a startling 15-0 thanks to a 1.10 ERA. The Owls also added a local freshman in shortstop Kathy Morgan, who was one of just two Owls to start in all 58 games and finished fifth among Owl regulars with a .349 batting average. It was upon arriving in Salem, Va., for their World Series appearance that they would receive a timely reality check. Facing Wisconsin-Parkside and longtime friend and fellow coach Tory Acheson, who now faces off against Whitlock at the Division I level as the head coach at Tennessee Tech, the Black and Gold saw their 40-game streak come to an end in the World series opener, dropping a tough, 4-3, decision that would put them in peril of an early exit from the championship tournament. Unfazed, the Owls would win the next four games, on the strength of spectacular pitching from Rafter and the offensive prowess of Thorburn and Dornstauder, who would bat .478 and .381 in the World Series, helping Dornstauder to a First Team All-American honor. Nada Hlohovsky, a senior batted .333 during the regular season, would also step up at the plate, batting .391 during the six-game World Series. Whitlock and his Owls would outscore their next four opponents by a total margin of 20-6, including a, 9-1, thumping of Wisconsin-Parkside to avenge their early loss. Facing Bloomsburg in the championship game after defeating them, 3-0, in the first game of the day, the Black and Gold were in for the fight of their lives for their first-ever national championship. Behind Rafter’s dominant pitching, the Owls were up 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh and were one strike away from glory when Bloomsburg, the 1991 national runner-up, tied things up to send it to extra innings. Having to re-claim a lead when victory was within their reach, the Owls bore down once again, with Thorburn hitting an infield single in the top of the eighth before being driven in by Dornstauder, who laced an RBI double to give the Owls a lead they would not relinquish. Rafter would set down the side in the bottom of the eighth on just four pitches, the final coming on a chopper to third base, which Carlisle would cleanly field and toss over to first for the final out and the champ
