The Nick Hiter Show — Who You Help Matters

In this one, I get into a lesson that's reshaped how I lead: who you help matters — and helping the right people, in the right way, changes everything. I talk about the difference between a handout and a hand up, and why "helping" the wrong person often just builds dependency instead of real progress. We get into the pace of high-level operators, what it looks like to surround yourself with people who move fast and pull you forward, and the discernment it takes to know when to give, when to hold back, and when to go get what's yours. I also open up about building the right team — the right seats at the right time — and why real growth comes from choosing people who are actually ready to level up.

Key Takeaways:

  • Big ideas only matter if you can act on them and bring them to life.
  • Success is almost always built through the help, guidance, and investment of others.
  • Not everyone wants the same kind of help — and not all help is actually helpful.
  • "Helping" the wrong people creates dependency instead of progress.
  • Wisdom is knowing when to give, when to hold back, and when to push forward.
  • Growth requires choosing people who are ready to level up.
  • Leadership is building the right team, the right seats, and the right structure at the right time.

This week we are joined by the Sports Field Manager at Vanderbilt University, Adam Adkins!

Episode in a Glance:
In this episode of The Hitstreak, I sit down with Adam Adkins, the Sports Field Manager at Vanderbilt University and a guy I have known for 30 years. Adam and a team of five or six are responsible for nearly every varsity athletic surface on campus, roughly 24 acres with 11 and a half of that natural turf, and the standard never moves no matter what the weather does. We get into how my own dad taught a five foot twelve year old left hander to pitch, the summer Adam grew from five foot four to six foot two, the wake up call of an SEC locker room, and the phone call that talked him into an Augusta National internship he was ready to turn down. Plus what he looks for on a resume, why most people stop evolving the day school ends, the morning someone sprayed weedkiller on greens worth millions, and why you will never outlive your own self image.

Key Points:
- Trust the process only works once you have stacked enough wins that you would be a fool not to.

  • Somebody has to see it in you first, and then have the patience to stay with you.

  • Consistency is the whole job. The weather changes, the surface does not.

  • Culture starts at recruiting. Hire like minded people and it stops being a job.

  • You can plan for a year and something will still go wrong, so hire for how people adapt.

  • Personal development stops being automatic the day you leave school. After that it is a choice.

  • A degree without a way to apply it is a skill you cannot monetize.

  • Getting out of your comfort zone is how you find out what you actually love.

  • The more you learn, the faster you admit somebody else knows more than you.

  • Attention to detail can be explained to you, but you do not understand it until it is yours to own.

About our guest:
Adam Adkins is the Sports Field Manager at Vanderbilt University, where he and his team look after nearly every varsity athletic surface on campus, roughly 24 acres of playing surface with 11 and a half acres of natural turf. Raised in middle Tennessee, he learned to pitch as a five foot twelve year old left hander under Mickey Hiter, Travis Copley and Lin Pilgrim, grew from five foot four to six foot two the summer before his junior year, and capped his high school career with a state championship before heading to the University of Tennessee, where he pitched and studied turf grass management.

An internship at Augusta National that he nearly declined pulled him toward golf, and he spent 14 years as a golf course superintendent across middle Tennessee, starting at Vanderbilt Legends out of college. He returned to the sports side at Vanderbilt roughly two years ago. He credits Hall of Fame superintendent Joe Kennedy with giving him his start, and says being around coaches like Tim Corbin and Clark Lea is the part of the job he would never trade.

The Nick Hiter Show — The Cost of Your New Life Is Your Old Life

In this one, I get real about the difference between having a title and actually being the leader that title demands. I open up about the moment I realized I had "CEO" on paper but wasn't operating like one — and why that recognition is the actual starting line. We get into leading yourself before your family or team will ever follow, the discipline of fasting from your old life to step into the new one, and why your proximity — the people you keep closest — either propels you forward or drags you back. I talk about seasons, sacrifice, delayed gratification, learning your real role on a team, and how the smallest intentional moments with family end up mattering most. It's an honest look at leveling up when it's uncomfortable — and choosing to trade the old life for the one you actually want.

Key Takeaways:

  • A title isn't leadership — recognizing the gap between the two is where real leadership starts.

  • You don't get promoted and then perform; you do the work first, then earn the role.

  • The cost of your new life is your old life — you have to be willing to trade it.

  • Leadership leaks, so you have to keep casting the vision to your team and family, over and over.

  • Your proximity decides your progress — protect who and what you keep closest.

  • Change starts with you; lead yourself first and the people around you follow.

  • Fasting — from food, habits, distractions, the old life — is how you accelerate change.

  • Know your real role; the best performer isn't always the best coach — play the position that fits.

  • Intentional time beats time spent — name the moment and it counts.

Episode 251 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by the Founder and Owner of CHIPS Performance Training and the voice behind SwagnShades, Alex Hale!

Episode in a Glance:

In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Alex Hale — better known across social media as SwagnShades — founder of CHIPS Performance Training, to break down how storytelling, relentless consistency, and a strong culture can completely transform a youth sports business. Alex shares his journey from pro baseball to social media mastery, including the decision to post three videos a day for a full year that changed everything. We get into intentional branding and how his SwagnShades persona became one of the most recognizable voices in youth baseball, the discipline of building a business from a barn into a 12,000-square-foot facility, and why protecting your culture matters more as you scale. We also look at the future of baseball media — live events, immersive branded experiences, and community-driven content — and Alex's belief that if you trust your purpose, you owe it to yourself to shoot your shot.

Key Points:

  • Storytelling is everything in athlete and brand development.
  • Consistency wins — three videos a day for a year changed the whole business.
  • Culture is built and protected through clear standards.
  • Intentional branding — the persona, the sunglasses — is what makes you memorable.
  • Content should serve the audience, not your own ego.
  • Authenticity and self-awareness drive real growth.
  • Protect the relationships and community inside youth sports.
  • Events like home run derbies and tournaments are exposure engines.
  • The future of baseball media is live, immersive, and community-driven.

About our guest:

Alex Hale — known across social media as SwagnShades — is the founder and owner of CHIPS Performance Training, a private baseball training facility built on a simple belief: confident, competitive athletes are built through positive culture and relentless preparation. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Alex was a standout catcher at Creighton Prep, winning two state championships and earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors before playing Division I baseball at the University of Richmond as a two-way player, where he finished ranked eighth all-time in strikeouts and tenth in wins. After competing in the prestigious Cape Cod League, Alex was drafted by the Anaheim Angels in 2007 and again by the Boston Red Sox in 2008, signing with Boston to begin his professional career.

Since hanging up his spikes, Alex has spent more than 15 years coaching and developing youth, high school, college, and professional players, growing CHIPS Performance Training into one of the Midwest's premier training facilities with more than 500 college commits and locations in Omaha, Lincoln, and Phoenix. Along the way, he has built the SwagnShades brand into a community of more than 737,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, where his mix of coaching insight, humor, and straight talk — along with partnerships with brands like Warstic, Bruce Bolt, and Baseballism — has made him one of the most recognizable voices in youth baseball. His mission has never changed: building a positive, competitive, and confident baseball culture for athletes, coaches, and families.

The Nick Hiter Show — Nobody Rises to the Occasion: You Sink to Your Training

How do the best leaders stay calm when everything's moving at once? In this episode I get into mastering control under chaos — how to manage your environment, build mental resilience, and communicate in a way that keeps everyone moving in the right direction. I talk about what "good chaos" actually looks like, why delegating in a crisis turns problems into leadership moments, and how transparency with your spouse turns the weight of business into something shared instead of carried alone. I also get into designing your environment on purpose, teaching your kids resilience through controlled adversity, and why the calm you have under pressure comes from the conditions you trained in.

Key Takeaways:

  • Good chaos is when everyone moves fast in the right direction and communicates well.
  • Handling pressure comes down to capacity, calmness, and delegation.
  • Delegating in a crisis empowers others and turns problems into leadership moments.
  • Transparency with your spouse builds trust, security, and shared strength.
  • Know which "hat" you're wearing — leader, partner, parent — and communicate it.
  • Design your environment on purpose; mental toughness is built, not wished for.
  • Controlled adversity is how kids learn resilience.
  • Train in harder conditions than you'll compete in, and pressure stops feeling like pressure.

Welcome back to The Nick Hiter Show

In this one, I dig into the mechanics of sales — how to qualify leads, cut to the chase, and build relationships that actually work for both sides. I talk about why accountability and preparation are non-negotiable, where to draw the line between helping and serving people, and how personal health and discipline feed straight into business performance. From there I get into decluttering your life and mind to make room for growth — auditing what's holding you back, using technology to your advantage, and the power of choice, planning, and small wins to build real momentum and find balance along the way.

Key Takeaways:

  • Listen to understand the other person's needs.
  • Make sure leads are financially qualified before you proceed.
  • Cut to the chase in conversations to save everyone time.
  • Accountability is crucial — for yourself and for others.
  • Relationships should provide mutual value to succeed.
  • Balance helping others with your own boundaries.
  • Discipline in your health impacts your overall performance.
  • Preparedness is essential for effective communication.
  • Decluttering leads to mental clarity and focus.
  • Auditing your life helps you spot what's holding you back.
  • The power of choice is essential for personal freedom.
  • Planning is crucial for success and avoiding failure.
  • Letting go of control can empower others to lead.
  • Small wins build momentum, confidence, and balance.

Something new starts here. This is the very first episode of The Nick Hiter Show, a brand-new show I'm launching outside of The Hitstreak — a different format, a different kind of conversation, and a space to go deeper on the stuff that doesn't always fit the usual mold. Thanks for being here from day one.

In this opener, I get into the complexities of navigating legal challenges — specifically the impact of lawsuits on personal and family life. I share the frustration of the legal process, the emotional toll it takes, and the lessons I've learned through adversity. We also get into transparency in business relationships, why trust matters so much, and the personal growth that comes from hardship — with some honest reflection on parenting and raising resilient kids along the way.

Key Takeaways:

  • Legal battles can be a long and frustrating process.
  • Time is a critical factor in legal disputes, often driving up costs.
  • The emotional toll of lawsuits can affect family dynamics.
  • Transparency in business relationships fosters trust and collaboration.
  • Personal growth often comes from navigating difficult situations.
  • Parenting involves teaching resilience and handling adversity.
  • Criticism can be a valuable tool for personal development.
  • Building trust requires vulnerability and openness.
  • Life experiences shape our understanding of relationships.
  • Adversity can lead to significant personal and spiritual growth.

Episode 249 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by CEO and Co-Founder of Dovetail Strategic, Andrew Lell!

Episode in a Glance:

In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Andrew Lell, and trace his journey from humble beginnings to building a multi-million-dollar company — and 20 businesses along the way. Andrew reflects on the childhood moments that shaped his drive, including a Christmas experience that made him promise he'd never be poor, and the health, family, and lifestyle changes that transformed his life. We get into finding love, facing failure and over a million dollars in debt, and the resilience it took to rebuild. From there Andrew makes the case that relationships beat marketing every time — talking through creative partnerships, sustainability, local engagement, and how to scale a business without losing its personal touch. He also shares how faith is woven into the way he leads, and why sharing hard-won stories is how we help the next person coming up behind us.

Key Points:

  • Success is not just about money; it's about making a difference in others' lives.
  • Building strong relationships is essential in both personal and professional life.
  • Facing failure can lead to significant personal growth and humility.
  • Family support plays a crucial role in personal and professional growth.
  • Gratitude and humility are crucial for personal development.
  • Serving others can lead to fulfillment and success.
  • Scaling should not compromise personal connections.
  • Faith can play a significant role in business.
  • Automation should enhance, not replace human connection.

About our guest:

Andrew Lell is the CEO and Co-Founder of Dovetail Strategic, a promotional products and brand experience company built on a simple belief: branded merchandise should be easier, smarter, and more meaningful. With more than 25 years of experience in branding, marketing, sales, and promotional products, Andrew has worked with brands including Bridgestone, AT&T, Southwest Airlines, Asurion, Ramsey Solutions, Maxwell Leadership, and Clayton Homes, while also contributing to projects supporting organizations such as Disney, HCA Healthcare, and Darden Foods. For Andrew, the work has never been about products — it has always been about people. He believes the right branded experience can build culture, strengthen relationships, and create lasting connections.

Dovetail Strategic is the 20th company Andrew has owned or helped build. Along the way, he has experienced successes, failures, and plenty of hard lessons, all of which shaped his approach to business and leadership. In 2022, Andrew and his business partner, Michael Conaty, launched Dovetail Strategic from scratch, building new customer relationships, systems, and processes from the ground up. What began with roughly $40,000 in new customer orders during the company's first few months has grown into a multi-million-dollar organization serving corporate, healthcare, financial, education, and enterprise clients worldwide.

Andrew leads with faith, accountability, resilience, and a commitment to helping others succeed. Beyond growing Dovetail, he speaks and mentors on entrepreneurship, leadership, sales, brand experience, and the lessons learned from building businesses from the ground up. His story is a testament to persistence, reinvention, and the belief that failure is often the path to meaningful success.

Episode 248 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by Keynote Speaker, Researcher & Author of The Million Member Church, Chestly Lunday!

Episode in a Glance:

In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Chestly Lunday, and explore the power of personal branding — especially for faith leaders — and how it serves as a tool for growth when it's rooted in character development. We dig into the awareness gap between generations, with a focus on Gen Z and their relationship with technology, and why churches and businesses alike have to adapt to a decentralized communication paradigm. Chestly makes the case that trust is built through personal relationships rather than institutions, and that engagement matters far more than attendance — advocating for actionable insights after every sermon and honest conversations around taboo topics. From there we get into consistency, learning from failure, and how biblical principles can inform modern business practices. Chestly also unpacks why curiosity is essential to leadership, the role of character development in navigating change, and why the future of evangelism and community engagement lives on digital platforms.

Key Points:

  • Personal branding is a powerful growth tool when rooted in character development.
  • The awareness gap between generations is widening due to technology.
  • 60% of Gen Z believe faith leaders need a personal brand.
  • Trust is built through personal relationships, not institutions.
  • Engagement should be prioritized over mere attendance.
  • Curiosity is essential for effective leadership.
  • Character development is key in a decentralized age.
  • The future of evangelism lies in community engagement.
  • Adaptability is necessary in a rapidly changing environment.

About our guest:

Chestly Lunday has built his career at one of the most unlikely intersections in leadership — studying disruption inside the slowest-adapting institution of the last five hundred years, then translating those lessons for founders, executives, and high performers navigating a world that flips every five minutes. His core argument is as simple as it is provocative: if meaningful change can take root in an institution that has resisted it for centuries, it can take root in your organization too.

He's the author of The Million Member Church, a book that turns the challenge of scaling community, loyalty, and belief into a playbook any leader can use. He also commissioned the Future of Faith research series — original data on generational trends, leadership, and the future of belief — rather than waiting for someone else to go get the numbers. That same instinct drives Ahead of the Curve, his newsletter helping leaders stay ahead of disruption, division, and relentless change.

Whether he's on stage or on the page, Lunday brings hard data, sharp thinking, and a lens that most business leaders have never looked through — one that reveals what centuries of adaptation, resistance, and eventual breakthrough can teach anyone trying to build something that lasts.

This week we are joined by pastor, author, speaker, ministry strategist & founder of Network Ministries International, Bruce Bugbee!

Episode in a Glance:

In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Bruce Bugbee, and explore freedom in Christ, the journey of personal and leadership development, and the significance of understanding your unique purpose and spiritual gifts. We discuss the dynamics of church life, the necessity of community, and how personal struggles shape growth. Bruce emphasizes gratitude, self-discovery, and the influence our actions have on others, encouraging listeners to own their faith journey and recognize their unique role in the body of Christ. From there we get into accountability, freedom, and the role of digital media in modern ministry. Bruce makes the case for recalibrating the metrics we use to measure church growth, and reminds us that true leadership is rooted in servanthood and followership — lessons drawn from five decades in ministry and a shift in perspective on what effective leadership and growth really look like.

Key Points:

  • Most people fear freedom because it implies responsibility.

  • Leadership is about equipping others, not just giving orders.

  • The church needs to focus on making disciples, not just starting churches.

  • Digital media is a powerful tool for reaching people.

  • Metrics in church growth should focus on engagement, not just attendance.

  • Leadership is about serving others and understanding their needs.

  • Effective leaders must first learn to follow.

  • Every individual has the potential to grow in the right environment.

  • Rock bottom can be a launching point for new beginnings.

  • Authenticity in leadership comes from admitting when you don't have all the answers.

Episode 245 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by Communication Coach, TV Host, Executive Coach, founder of Communication Makeover & host of the Communication Breakthrough podcast, Todd Wall!

Episode in a glance:

In this episode of The Hitstreak, I sit down with Todd Wall to explore the art of storytelling in sports broadcasting and the power of intentional communication. Todd shares memorable moments from nearly two decades behind the camera at events like the Super Bowl, World Cup, and NBA Finals, and the lessons he learned creating memories for millions of viewers. We talk about why perspective changes everything, how the little details make the biggest difference, and the way life's interruptions — like the OJ Simpson story — can reshape an entire industry and a career. From there we get into Todd's transition from broadcasting into communication coaching, the evolution of audience engagement, and why the shift from "I" to "we" matters so much in storytelling. Todd also breaks down the role of storytelling in sales, his frameworks for effective communication, and his belief that everyone needs a Personal Playbook to find their cause, their identity, and their voice.

  • Broadcasting is about creating memories, not just capturing events.

  • Understanding audience identity is crucial for communication.

  • Frameworks in communication provide freedom, not restriction.

  • Shifting from “I” to “we” in storytelling deepens connection.

  • Expertise is no longer automatically respected—intentional communication is key.

  • The power of live sports lies in creating an expert identity for the audience.

  • Finding a cause to fight for motivates individuals and teams.

Episode 244 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by the Founder of C3 – Central Coast Creative, Founder of Eagle Eye Experience, Partner of The Hitlab, Music Producer & Professional Touring Musician, Antjuan Robinson!

Episode in a Glance:

In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with my partner Antjuan Robinson, and the heart of our conversation is the partnership the two of us have built and where we're taking it. We open up about how we came together, what each of us brings to the table, and why the right partnership can multiply what either of us could do alone. Along the way we share a few laughs over 90s TV shows like Family Matters and how they shaped our early sense of family, but the through-line is the trust, mentorship, and shared vision that make a partnership work. Antjuan and I dig into the lessons that brought us here — the value of faith and resilience, the grit it takes to overcome challenges, and the things music and touring taught Antjuan about entrepreneurship. We talk about the intersection of faith and business: the biblical perspective on multiplying talents, the importance of trust and integrity between partners, and why authenticity is what truly attracts the right people. We get into serving others without expectation, why I believe every opportunity is an audition, and the necessity of intentional presentation.

Finally, we turn to fatherhood, legacy, and leading by example — building confidence in our kids, navigating the challenges of parenting, and the role media and technology play in shaping the future. Through all of it, we keep coming back to the same idea: that great partnerships, like great leadership, are built on stewardship, excellence, and a willingness to prepare for greatness together.

Key Points:

• Great partnerships multiply what either person could accomplish alone.

• Building genuine relationships is crucial in both personal and professional life.

• Trust and integrity are the foundation of every strong business relationship.

• Faith and resilience are what carry you through life's challenges.

• Music and touring provide unique lessons in entrepreneurship.

• Listening is a valuable skill that can open doors and create opportunities.

• God expects us to multiply the talents and resources we've been given.

• Authenticity and belief in oneself attract the right people.

• Serving others without expectation can lead to unexpected opportunities.

• Every interaction is an audition for future opportunities.

• A man's gift will make room for him.

• Confidence and stability are crucial for effective leadership.

• Fatherhood and legacy come down to leading by example.

• Preparing for greatness means nurturing the strengths you already have.

About our guest:

Antjuan Robinson is a creative entrepreneur, music producer, and professional touring musician whose work spans music, media, and brand storytelling. Born in Anderson, Indiana in 1986 and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he grew up in a single-parent home and was shaped by mentors in music, business, family, and faith, turning that foundation into a career built on creating and revealing value in people and ideas. Antjuan is the founder of C3, Central Coast Creative, and the founder of Eagle Eye Experience, bringing a producer's eye for detail and a builder's instinct for opportunity to every project. He launched his first company, Kontractors Music Group, in 2012, and is also a partner of The Hitlab, the Nashville-based creative studio specializing in the creation, marketing, and promotion of podcasts and serial content. As a professional touring musician, Antjuan has shared the stage and studio with artists and groups including Wayman Tisdale, Stars Go Dim, We Are Messengers, and Casting Crowns. He has also lent his talents to building churches such as Transformation Church in Oklahoma and One City Church in Tennessee, and he carries that same heart for stewardship, excellence, and legacy into his businesses. When he's not in the studio or on stage, you'll find Antjuan in Nashville with his wife Kaila, whom he married in 2012, raising their three children and pouring into the next generation. He remains passionate about faith, family, and helping creators and brands tell stories that resonate and last.

Before designing a single dial, Beau went straight to the source, conducting an in-depth pilot survey to understand how aviators actually relate to the tools they carry. The findings shaped everything — from complication choices to price points to the brand voice that’s earned Call Sign a loyal following among pilots and veterans alike. The brand’s most celebrated release is the Wright Brothers Series — and its origin story says everything about where Call Sign stands in the aviation world.

Today, Call Sign sits at the intersection of precision craftsmanship and authentic aviation identity — a growing brand with a national customer base and a founder who still sees the community first, the business second. Beau is based in Nashville, where he’s building what he believes should have always existed: an American aviation watch brand that pilots actually claim as their own.

His growing community has become what he calls a “healing hub,” with therapists even using his music in sessions to help patients open up and heal. For Matt, every song is proof that music can connect, heal, and save lives.

Episode 138 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by the Founder of Change the Stars, Jeff Ponchillia!!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our guest: Haiti is in the throes of a dire crisis, marked by pervasive violence, widespread hunger, and a healthcare system strained to its limits, where even children are being turned away from hospitals. For Jeff Ponchillia, this reality serves as an impassioned call to action, propelling him to intensify his efforts in the face of mounting adversity.

Jeff's transformative journey began in 2012 with his inaugural trip to Haiti, an experience that would irrevocably alter the course of his life. It was during this visit that he encountered an orphanage teetering on the brink of collapse, its urgent plea for assistance echoing through the halls of neglect. In a mere two minutes spent with the children, Jeff felt an unbreakable bond form, their plight etching itself onto his heart with unwavering permanence. In response to the profound need he witnessed, Jeff founded Change The Stars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting orphans and impoverished children in Haiti.

What began as a humble endeavor has since burgeoned into a comprehensive initiative, encompassing vital support for schools, a children's hospital grappling with malnutrition, and a scholarship program offering hope for a brighter future. However, the relentless escalation of Haiti's crisis in recent years has compelled Change The Stars to expand its reach even further. Amidst worsening conditions, the organization has extended its support to another orphanage, initiated food distribution programs for families in dire need, and provided essential sustenance to children turned away from overburdened hospitals.

Despite Jeff's personal sacrifices, including dedicating his entire income from Wesley Mortgage for the past two years, the urgent need for external support remains unabated. As Haiti's needs continue to multiply, so too does the imperative to mobilize resources and solidarity in support of Change The Stars' vital mission. Together, we can stand with Jeff and his organization in their unwavering commitment to illuminate the path towards hope and resilience for Haiti's children, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

This week we are joined by husband & wife duo and Senior Loan Originators at Walton Funding, Grant & Summer Martin!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our guests: Grant went to High School at Montgomery Bell Academy as a multi sport athlete, Won the Babe World Series, Graduated as Belmont University Baseball’s All time hits and doubles leader, lead the team in average 3/4 years, and inducted into the Belmont Athletic Hall of Fame. (Dave Jarvis coached Grant 3/4 years, was inducted into the hall of fame with Grant in the same class, and introduced Grant during the induction)

After Belmont, Dell computers had just opened in Nashville. Grant went to work there since computers weren’t his strong suit. He then sold a large computer deal to a mortgage company near his house, and went to all the buildings and got the numbers from the signs, looked them up in the phone book, and went into the mortgage business … in August of 2001. He went on to run and found multiple mortgage companies where he has over seen billions of production through 9/11, the crash of 2008, and Covid. And during whatever this time period would be called:)

He has been married to His wife Summer for going on 5 years, has 4 children and 3 bonus children, age ranges from 20 to 4 years old.

With his athletic experience, He has created a character curriculum for athletes, coaches and parents called 99 Mental.

Summer was raised in the Carolinas before returning to her birth place in Tennessee. She cheered competitively, power tumbled, and was a year-round competitive swimmer. Summer earned many state, regional, and national titles in competitive cheer. At the youngest age to qualify for the ranking, she ranked 9th in the nation. At 16, Summer gave birth to her first child. While a student at MTSU and now a young mother, Summer worked three part-time jobs to build a new life for her and her daughter. One of those jobs was as a bank teller, which eventually became her full-time job and set the course for her entire career.

Summer quickly moved up the ranks at Synovus Bank, moving into assistant management, and then commercial banking. There she learned how to navigate complex financial structures and accumulated record setting, and attention getting business levels for the bank, moving her into the Executive Leadership program, reporting directly to the CEO. But banking was boring. And while numbers suited Summer's intellect, they didn't suit the fulfillment of her heart. She moved into the mortgage business in 2015. There she found a passion for guiding customers into the place she wanted them to be most served by her number skills; home.

In 2019, Summer became a full time Loan Officer. Once again, quickly rising in the ranks, she became a top producer, closing over $100,000,000 in loans, while also training other loan officers, and mainly handling the businesses' most financially complex, and high net worth clients.

Summer is married to Grant, and now has 3 beautiful daughters, one bonus daughter, 2 bonus sons, and one son. All ranging from age 20 to 4. She also has the more complicated daily chore of walking and feeding her two furriest children, Duke and Lola, 2 beautiful golden English labs.

This week we are joined by the founder and CEO of Executive Brand Growth, John Mediana!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our guest: In his creative & marketing journey, it led many offers to have partnership deals in multiple companies as the leading Chief Marketing Officer. John learned from his own failure launching a Media Company when he turned 20 years old. He gave myself one full year to run a brick & mortar. The compound effect of failure returns big rewards for the future.

He had his hand & ownership in screen printing and merchandising, music distribution, and even a fitness training facility in Orange County. Learning many lessons that only can be gained through practitioning.

Then his good friend Sean Cannell reached out and said, "I'm going all in on YouTube, I need help making videos.” That's when things really took off. They launched Video Influencers with Sean & Benji. John flew out to meet and do an interview with Gary Vaynerchuk. He was the content creator for the very first Video Influencers tour. And helped Sean establish Think Media in the early stages.

This led to John’s introduction to working with influencers and business leaders. From Lewis Howes to Chalene Johnson, he was in proximity to help them solve their content volume problems.

Now he has launched a full-service agency building the personal brand of busy entrepreneurs. Could not feel more fulfilled leading an incredible team of creatives and experts.

Episode 107 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by John Crist, Owner of D-Bat Nashville!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our guest: John Crist is the owner and operator of D-BAT Nashville. D-BAT is a franchise of baseball and softball training academies with about 140 stores open across 36 states, and the Nashville location is considered one of the best in the country. When he opened back in August of 2020, which was at the peak of Covid, he actually had the worst first quarter in the company’s history in terms of revenue collected. But now he’s in Year 3 and on pace to blow by the million-dollar mark, which is considered a status symbol in this business model.

Prior to opening D-BAT, John was a sportswriter for about 15 years. He’s been a daily beat reporter covering the Chicago Bears as well as the Florida State Seminoles. Most recently, he covered SEC football as the Senior Writer for the popular website Saturday Down South. He’s been to half a dozen Super Bowls. He’s been a half a dozen national championship games. He also used to vote for the Heisman Trophy. If there’s a sports talk radio station somewhere in America, chances are he’s been a guest talking football at some point.

Originally born in Indianapolis, John has actually spent about half of his life in Chicago and remains a passionate fan of the Bears, White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks. He went to Florida State, and while he didn’t have much of a career as a walk-on for the baseball team, he did manage to hit a home run off a future first-round draft pick. He relocated to Nashville about five years ago with his wife Andrea, son Conrad and daughter Jordan and is committed to being one of the biggest supporters of youth baseball and softball here in Music City.

Episode 96 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by video producer, editor, and storyteller Eric Solomon!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest: Creating Content today has never been easier, but getting people to pay attention to that content has never been more difficult.

That’s where Eric Solomon comes in. For more than 30 years, Eric has been trusted by some of the world’s largest brands to help them tell their stories with video. In fact, his film Autism Every Day was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and helped his client get national media attention with appearances on Good Morning America, The View, and Oprah.

Today, Eric is one of the most sought-after video content creators for anyone looking to build their personal brand and separate themselves from others in their industry.

“We live in a very noisy world,’ says Eric, “and there are a lot of content creators out there using yesterday’s tools, tactics, and techniques.” What makes Eric different - and what enables his videos to break through that noise - is he does not create content that talks about what you do. That’s what most videographers do. Instead, Eric creates content that reveals who his clients actually are. He does this by getting to know them on a truly personal level and helping them to talk about themselves on camera in a way they didn't even know was possible, which shows the essence of who they are.

Through simple, but innovative techniques, Eric's videos connect with audiences at a human level. And that’s what builds relationships, that’s what builds trust, and that’s what builds businesses.

This week we are joined by Richard & Laura Behney, Founders of Couplepreneur

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest: Married for 30 years and in business together for 28, Richard & Laura have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of couplepreneurship. They know firsthand how hard it can be to raise a family and grow a business at the same time, and how important (yet challenging) it is to prioritize your relationship through it all.

Within 5 years of working together, the two “hated each other,” and before long they lost the business and nearly lost their marriage. Then they decided to get intentional about building the life they actually wanted, and through counseling and a rededication of their lives to Christ, they found the passion, unity, and adventure they had been looking for.

Since that initial rough patch, Richard & Laura have started and grown multiple seven-figure businesses, launched two podcasts, and helped over a hundred couple-run businesses over the last four years. Their relationship is better than ever, and they’re ready to help you do the same!

Episode 84 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week we are joined by the COO of MVP Poker, Josiah Graves!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest: Josiah started very early as an entrepreneur, starting his first real business at only 13 years old, a landScaping company. By the time he was 18, he had 2 crews running with foremen, so he could focus on growing the business, and also pursue a career in one of his other passions, video production. At 19, he married Taylor, and also graduated Broadcast School and got into Nashville's Channel 2 as a video editor, and moved up to photographer and microwave truck operator. In health insurance Josiah built and led several Council Award-Winning teams, including the 46 F-TA team in the country in 2016, and the #18 FSL team in 2018. Ultimately, he became a Satellite Division with his own office in Franklin. In 2020, Josiah also founded a Real Estate Investing firm, Right-Way Ventures, with business partner and friend Brian Pierce. In June 2022, Josiah and Taylor's 4th and final child was born, and Josiah retired from leadership, to spend as much time as possible with their last baby and his family. After a decade in the health insurance industry, he didn't know why, but he was completely at peace with this move. But now he does know why. Just 3 months after retiring and spending the summer entirely with his family, a new opportunity presented itself. One of his best friends, Dane Coates, had founded a new revolutionary online poker platform, in which Josiah was an investor. The opportunity opened for Josiah to jump into the business as their VP of Operations. It was an opportunity tailor-made for Josiah, but as with most opportunities, there was a catch- operations for MVP Poker, are in Costa Rica. After many discussions with his wife, much thought and prayer, and an interview process that lasted over a month, Josiah was officially offered the position, and 2 weeks later on September 12, 2022, went to Costa Rica to begin building towards launching a new company. In February, 2023 MVP Poker officially launched to the public, and Josiah has since been promoted to COO of the company, and is also the Chairman of the Board.

This week, we're joined by comedian Doug Williams. Doug has been feathers on BET, Starz, Comedy Central & Co-writer of the New Harlem Globetrotter’s Spreadgame Tour!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest:

Doug was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama and quickly realized that he had an affinity for entertainment. After being put out of a local high school rap group because his rhymes were more humorous than serious, a friend suggested he give stand-up comedy a try. So Doug stepped on stage at a comedy club in Huntsville, Alabama for the first time and found his calling. His off-beat style of stand-up comedy that often surrounds relationships with women and his life made him a favorite on BET’s (Black Entertainment Television) “Club Comic View” and “It’s Showtime at the Apollo.” He has been featured on “Comedy Central Presents Doug Williams” Doug’s talents as a comedian/actor led him to be cast as a series regular in the role of Kevin on the HBO’s series “The Mind of the Married Man.” Doug has also guest starred on “The Bernie Mac Show,” and “Close to Home.” He is starring in the up-and-coming feature film “The Trace” with Billy Dee Williams and Lynn Whitfield. Doug is the first Black comedian to create, host and produce his own stand-up comedy series, and it was the Starz Network’s first original hit series “Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand Up.” The late-night stand-up comedy show featured some of the nation’s legendary, established, & hottest up-and-coming urban comedians. The show ran for five successful seasons and helped add to the resumes of “The Hangovers’” Ken Jeong and “The Talks’” Sheryl Underwood. 1st Amendment Stand-Up was the number one rated show on Starz for five years and pave the way for other original series like “Boss,” and “Spartacus.” Doug went on to produce “Way Black When” for The TV One Network. The high rated series was featured during Black History Month and focused on the dramatic, musical, and comedic portrayals of African Americans through the lens of black music, film and television in the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. Presently, Doug has formed DNA Media Productions with his wife Ada Luz Pla-Williams. They have several projects in development. Currently they are creators and co-executive producers of “Runnin the Streetz with Doug Williams.” A fast paced comedy show built for today’s A.D.D., “YouTube” mixed cultural audience. The show contains outrageous sketches, celebrity guests, street pranks, and today’s hottest music performers.

Episode 72 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week, we're joined by True Friends Moving Company Owner Chris Knowles. We discuss leaving his Fortune 500 company to be an entrepreneur, dreaming big, and scaling a business.

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest:

Originally from Georgia, Chris worked for a local moving company while still in high-school one summer and always aspired to own his own one day. While pursuing a bachelor's in Business Management he began a career in corporate sales at a Fortune 500 company, but always remembered his business ownership dream. After much soul searching, he realized that building his own company and brand was more of a passion than building someone else’s, and the rest is history. However, knowing how to do some moving one summer, and running a business was two totally separate skills, so he just learned as he went, which came with a lot of trial and error.

Today, True Friends is a power house in the area and has a huge presence in the Nashville market, helping them to not only win Best of Nashville year over year, but also a Top 50 business in Nashville from the Inc 5000. These days, Chris is continuing to keep the brand growing strong, while also giving back to the local community thru local charity partnerships like Safe Haven, Men of Valor and Live Love Nashville. With their proven concept and very marketable brand, franchising is next on the horizon for Chris and TFM, as helping other likeminded entrepreneurs grow is a new passion that he is looking forward to going after. Outside of the business, he just celebrated his 15 year anniversary and has 2 awesome daughters and spends any extra time dedicated to family.

Episode 69 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week, we're joined by your go-to mortgage lender, Jeff Suter! Tune in as we talk about effort, belief, and doing more than you ever thought possible!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest:

Jeff Suter is most importantly, married to his beautiful wife Autumn, and father to his amazing girls Addi (15) and Emma (8). He was born and raised in Nashville, TN, and attended the infamous castle on Broadway, one of the top academic high schools in the nation, Hume-Fogg Academic. After one semester at Belmont University, he dropped out and got to work, starting his career pulling groceries in the freezer at Sysco Nashville.

Suter bought his first home at 20, went into food sales for Sysco at 27, and this is where he found his passion for people and building relationships. In 2010, he left Sysco to partner in a roofing business, which grew to 3 million per year in sales over the course of 7 years. In late 2017, Jeff decided he was ready to grow something different, which is when the mortgage business fell in his lap. Not knowing the first thing about it, he dove in and doubled his business year over year for the first four years, taking it to 50 million in Year 4. During this time, he has mentored clients, employees, family, and friends, not only in the mortgage world, but in their business and personal life. As of December, he has completed Coach Nate Bailey’s “Unleash the Leader Within” program, which included a “suck day,” a fire walk, and a glass walk, all with the mission of mental and physical breakthroughs. Suter hopes to continue to grow, be the example the world needs, and to be refined!

He helps tens of thousands of people a year through speaking engagements, one-on-ones, and his work with Fortune 500 companies and their employees.

This week we're joined by Brendan Benson, co-founder of The Raconteurs, talking about family, parenting, getting sober, and his time with the band.

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guest:

Brendan Benson finds himself in an enviable spot as he enters the third decade of a remarkably creative, consistently idiosyncratic career - an accomplished frontman, musician, songwriter, producer, and band member. Benson's first new LP in seven years, DEAR LIFE marks his most inventive and upbeat work thus far. An 11-track song cycle about life, love, family, fatherhood, and the pure joy of making music. Produced and almost entirely performed by Benson at his own Readymade Studio in Nashville, the album sees the Michigan-born, Nashville-based artist reveling in a more modernist approach than ever before. Imbued with revitalized ambition and confidence, DEAR LIFE is Brendan Benson at his very best.

Beginning with 1996's now-classic debut, ONE MISSISSIPPI and its masterful 2002 follow-up, LAPALCO, Benson has always infused classic craftsmanship with contemporary invention. Along with his own critically acclaimed canon, Benson is co-founder - with Jack White, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler - of The Raconteurs. The band first convened in 2006, winning worldwide acclaim, GRAMMY Award nominations, and a chart-topping smash single "Steady As She Goes," with their now-classic debut album, BROKEN BOY SOLDIERS. After more than a decade, The Raconteurs returned to action in 2019 with their critically acclaimed, chart-topping LP, HELP US STRANGER, highlighted in part by songs Benson had initially considered for his own LP, "Only Child" and "Somedays (I Don't Feel Like Trying)."

Episode 33 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!

This week, we are joined by Carlos Vasquez, and previous guest, Peter Meyerhoff! Join us as we talk about overcoming challenges, the power of belief, The Warrior's Mindset, and more!

Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!

About our Guests:

As a child, Carlos' only dream was to become a professional baseball player. His parents put him in sports and catholic school, and he received straight A’s. Everything in his world started to change by the age of 13. His father left, his mother went into a deep depression, and his teenage sister got pregnant at 16. By the time Carlos was 14, life at home became so unbearable, he ran away. Carlos started off living in the streets, he joined a gang, became addicted to drugs, and committed himself to a life of crime.

At 16 his best friend killed himself in front of him while they played a game of Russian roulette. That caused Carlos to develop PTSD and become even more violent and destructive. At 19, Carlos was arrested after being hunted down by US Marshalls, and received 20 years in prison for armed robbery. It was on a trip to solitary confinement that ultimately sparked transformation in his life.

He went on to finish High School, then college, graduating with a 3.8 GPA in both Psychology, and Liberal Arts. He also earned Certificates in Entrepreneurship, Public Speaking, and Mentorship. His last four years incarcerated were spent organizing and teaching life changing workshops within the prison. He paroled on June 25, 2021 after serving 17 years.

Today, Carlos is the founder and CEO of How to Battle: Coaching for Conquering Self-doubt and Building Confidence.

You could say Peter Meyerhoff had the world in his palm as a kid, from athletics, modeling, and even starring in a movie.

In high school, he began using drugs, starting with just weed, before turning to hard drugs. His life spiraled downhill extremely fast, from stealing cars to robbing houses. He got arrested multiple times. Eventually, he was sent to prison for 12 years, at the age of 18, and didn’t get out until after his 30th birthday.

Peter ended up getting swallowed up by prison politics and by the end of it, was the "Shot Caller" in there. He gained his success from transferring his pains from prison, to drive for success out in the world.

He made a couple million dollars his first 5 years out of prison, with only an 8th grade education. He started his podcast to help motivate people, as well as telling his story across prisons and jails across the country, and he now owns a sober clothing company.

Peter’s goals now are to motivate people when he speaks, using the mental strength he acquired in solitary confinement, helping people get sober, and change the recidivism rate, by showing people what’s really possible with the right drive and no excuses. History has a way of repeating itself but with his guidance and experiences he’s helping the younger generation not go through the rough pitfalls of life.

Episode 16 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!This week we talk with Lester McClain, the first African American football player to play for the University of Tennessee, about his formative years, how he set himself up to succeed, and how it felt to be added to the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!About our Guest: McClain was born in Nashville on September 17, 1949. He attended Haynes High School in Nashville for his freshman through junior years, as he was unable to attend the school closest to his home, Antioch High, because it was not racially integrated. In his senior year, McClain was allowed to attend Antioch High where he met UT alum Bill Garrett who ran the morning football practices. Garrett liked what he saw and approached Coach Dickey on McClain’s behalf. Tennessee recruited McClain primarily to be a roommate for an exceptional high school athlete named Albert Davis, who most thought would be the first to integrate UT’s football program. When Davis went elsewhere, the burden fell to McClain, and he rose to the occasion. During his three seasons at UT, McClain caught 70 passes for 1,003 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also rushed 30 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns and returned eight kickoffs for 168 yards. McClain was honored by the East Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools Sports Hall of Fame and UT’s Athletics Hall of Fame, and he has earned the Maxwell House Sport Award. In 1987, McClain was appointed to an alumni position on UT’s Athletic Board. He has also received numerous state appointments including the Tennessee Human Rights Commission by Governor Lamar Alexander. He also has a statue outside Gate 21 of Neyland Stadium honoring his part in ending racial segregation. Follow and contact: LesterMcClain@aol.com
