2200TAPS Podcast

Join us as we sit down with former Miss Waco as we discuss how she lost her leg rendering aid to children. She has a heart of gold and will continue to do whatever it takes to defy all odds.

I had the absolute honor to be one of her support trainers as she went through her Redefine program with the Adaptive Training Program. She never let up and left it all on the turf. Now, she is training for the 2026 Paralympic Games for snowboarding. I'm telling you, her story is just getting started and you don't want to miss this episode.

To get connected with a few of the organizations she and I talk about in this episode, make sure to follow the links below. As always, thank you for your continued support!!

What's UPPPPPPP everyone?

Join me for a quick update on a lot of things that have been happening behind the scenes, what I've been doing for my own mental health and more. Yeah...my therapist called me out on some things I'm not proud of BUT...I'll share what it was all about on this fun and different kind of episode.

With that, we hope you stay tuned for all the amazing things that we are working towards because if I'm being honest, I'm scared shitless. However, I'm learning to use that fear to do some pretty wild things for this mission and you guys.

Also, please make sure to get connected some of the resources I've recommended or use personally to see if they'd be a good for for you and your loved ones. Link below to all the good stuff!!

One thing I love about NOT having a scripted show is that you just never know what a guest will drop on you...even when you think you know them.

Join us as we have the absolute privilege to sit down with our next guest Maria as she shares with us a few stories that left us in tears.

She shares her stories with hope that someone could benefit from them and of course, we give people like her a platform to share them with hopes that we can help save lives.

Thank you Maria for opening up your heart and showing us all what vulnerability looks like, but most importantly how hope is 100% possible!!

So we had the privilege to sit down with our friends of the Ladies Talk Podcast and what an interview it was. Not only have we known these incredible ladies for years, but I personally got to witness their family dynamic shift into something better once they all gave themselves an honest shot to do different.

Join us as we sit down as talk about their stories, their incredible faith and what all Ladies Talk is all about. All I can say is that these women are on fire for God and although you or someone you know aren't believers, that's ok. Listen as we talk through it all on this special episode!

Thank you Bonnie and Cretia Jo for coming on and sharing your journey with us all!

Join us as we sit down with our brother in arms and Medically Retired Army Major, Eric King. Eric served 3 tours over seas, fought his own battles and is now the founder of VetsWhatsNext, a 501c3 that helps Veterans with a smoother transition back into the civilian world by providing information that is easy to digest and understand all in a centralized location!

We hope you listen in on this awesome episode. We had a lot of fun talking about their mission and giving one of our brothers a lot of crap for continuously kicking both our asses in the gym. :)  Thank you Eric for your passion and heart!!

You know what's cool, is when you start hearing stories from those on the inside who are willing to share some of the madness that only those involved really know. When I first heard Randy's story, my jaw hit the floor more than once. To be honest, it's probably still on the floor.

Join us as we sit down with Randy as he shares with us how he has taken his traumas, tragedies and headaches he endured as a police officer and turned it into a much needed resource for inured/disabled police officers.

Get ready for an amazing episode and special thanks to Randy Sutton for being on. We appreciate all that you do!

Have you ever wondered what life if like on the other side? Or what happens when you die? Better yet, if you could survive laying out in sub zero degree weather bleeding out for 14 plus hours wondering if this is it? If so, do we have an episode for you! We have been waiting a very long time to get this next guest on, BUT, the time has finally arrived and we couldn't be more excited.

Nate is not only a Marine Corps. Veteran but a retired Kansas City Police Officer with a story like none other. When he first shared his story with me, I damn near cried while trying to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Join us today as we sit down with Nate as he shares his incredible story of surviving a near fatal crash that not only took his leg, but damn near took his life. We love this dude and know you will to!!

This was by far the most hilarious show we've done to date. Freakin Marines are a breed of their own and Karl definitely did not disappoint.

We love keeping it real on the show so get ready for some hilariously, jaw dropping moments!

Thank you Karl for one hell of an episode. I would venture to say almost everyone would love to quit the jobs they hate as gangster as you did!!

What's up my beautiful people?

Join me as I sit down with our very first mystery guest "Powerhouse" as we discuss that one time I quit my job 1 hour before my very first shift. Best part was...it wasn't that long ago.

Why did I do it? I had a HUGE come to Jesus moment and realized I just didn't belong in the medical field. Although I felt like the biggest asshole, I know in my heart I did the right thing.

Well...turns out "Powerhouse" has a similar story BUT, is unable to quit right now due to possible retaliation and or consequences. Hence why we are keeping her identity TOP SECRET!! ;)

We hope this episode will encourage those who are struggling to step down from those jobs that are sucking the soul right out of you. You don't deserve to be treated less than!!!!
