Addiction to Awakening: A Powerful Story of Sobriety and Transformation.  My guest this week is Ms. Felicia Pulliam, former addict and now a health care provider and advocate for sobriety.

“Recovery is not about being perfect, it’s about being brave enough to try again.” ~ Unknown

I feel like it is fair to say that no one wakes up one day and says to themselves, “I think I will become addicted to drugs today and then they go out and try to ruin my life”.   It is more likely that an individual finds themselves in a tough situation and they make a bad decision that suddenly takes over their life.

That is what happened to my guest, Ms. Felicia Pulliam.  Having a lifetime of difficulties that started when she was a little girl, Ms. Pulliam found herself in a destructive relationship and as the years went by she found that her addiction was in full control of every aspect of her life.  Finding her way back to sobriety was a rocky road that was full of setbacks and failures.  However, as the saying goes, it’s not how many times you get knocked down, it’s about how many times you are willing to get back up.

In our conversation, Ms. Pulliam describes how sobriety is something that is an intentional decision that one must make every day and when you have moments of weakness you need someone that you can go to that will help you remain strong. Her faith, her tenacity and her loving heart will leave you pulling for her success and you will gain a new perspective on how difficult life can be, but anything can be possible through faith and perseverance.

Kick Start to Glory: One Player’s Journey Through D1 Football.  My guest this week is Mr. Josh Jasper, former LSU kicker and now pursing the life of a firefighter.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~ E. Roosevelt

I feel it would be safe to say that most young boys and girls dream of playing a sport professionally.  If they don’t dream of becoming a pro then they will at least mimic their favorite athletes and pretend to be that superstar.

This week’s guest shares how his love for both soccer and football came together and gave him an incredible ride through high school and eventually D1 football with the LSU Tigers.  Mr. Josh Jasper explains how kicking came easy to him and after his first big moment kicking the game winning field goal in high school he knew this was what he wanted to do all the time.

In our conversation Jasper fills us in on how being a high school standout didn’t guarantee him a scholarship to college and it was actually his mother that took the detour on their way home after a long road trip doing tryouts that eventually landed him his one offer.

Mr. Jasper found himself on the team of the 2007 National Champions his freshman year and from there he went on to set several records and become one of the most trusted kickers in college.  These successes would have seemed like he was a lock for the NFL, but unfortunately those dreams never came to be realized.  All was not lost however, because he attributes all of those moments of ups and downs through football that gave him the grit and tenacity to just keep going when things are tough.  This episode is very inspiring and over all just a fun watch.

Beyond the Pain: How Tragedy Led Him to True Joy.  My guest this week is Mr. Ryan Dunn, former police officer turned project manager.

“The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.” ~ Unknown

Sometimes we may find ourselves in situations that force us to push through pain that we did nothing to cause.  That is exactly what my guest this week had to do at the early age of 11 when his mother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away a short time later.  Mr. Ryan Dunn found himself hurting and feeling lost, but thankfully he had a caring father that would always be by his side.

Ryan describes how growing up was made easier when his stepmother came into the picture and how she accepted Ryan and his brothers as her own.  Despite the great mentors in his life Ryan admits that he and his brother got into their fair share of trouble.

Then after a 12 year stretch of working at a golf course, Ryan decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a police officer.  His father is a retired Memphis Police Officer and Ryan had always been impressed with his father’s work.  It was on the police department that Ryan found his groove, but his life would suddenly change overnight after making one bad decision.  It was this turning point in his life that he chooses to be better instead of being bitter.  He used his mistake to be a voice for others and prove that second chances matter and there can be light on the horizon if just keep going and never give up.

In this special edition of Cannonballing Life, Coach and Derrick mark the end of an era as they record their final episode at the McIngvale Studio — the home of SRP Studios for the past 14 months. What began with Cannonball #23 now closes with Episode #78, wrapping up a 55-episode run filled with laughs, stories, growth, and moments that will live on forever online.

The guys reminisce about the memories made inside those walls and the journey that brought them to this new chapter as SRP Studios prepares to move to the west side. But in true Cannonball fashion, Coach eventually steers things into the absurd with an unexpectedly emotional rant about ducks. To top it all off, Derrick surprises Coach with a one-of-a-kind Goodwill find — a gift so perfectly Coach that he simply couldn’t leave it behind.

It’s gratitude, reflection, ridiculousness, and heart — the perfect sendoff.

Fuel for a Cause: Jimmy ‘Taco’ Burns’ Long Distance Charity Ride.  My guest this week is, Jimmy Burns a member of Mile Monsters, Inc.

“Giving is not just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference.” ~ K. Calvin

My guest this week found a way to combine his love of riding motorcycles with a cause that helps thousands of kids and even challenges himself beyond what he could have ever dreamed possible.

Mr. Jimmy ‘Taco’ Burns is a longtime friend that crossed my path many years ago when we both worked together at Gold Strike Casino.  Jimmy had been involved with security for most of his life and for as long as he could remember he has been a motorcycle enthusiast.  Jimmy is a member of “Mile Monsters, Inc.” and has ridden for a cause many times.  It was this drive to ride for something bigger than himself that pushed him to think broader.

Jimmy explains how a simple challenge suddenly was turned into a calling and one of his life’s missions.  If you are a rider then it is likely that you know about iron butt challenges that are grueling 1000 miles of riding in one day.  Well, it was one of those challenges that eventually led Jimmy to his calling of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge which is a 10,000 mile ride in 10 days.  This ride is a self-guided, and self-sustained with no GPS ride from start to finish.

Jimmy talks about how difficult the ride can be facing the elements and how there were many times that he considered throwing in the towel, but it was the thought of what he was riding for that kept him going.  Jimmy’s charity is for ‘Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy’ which effects mostly young boys.

In August of 2026 Jimmy plans on tackling this incredible feat again and hopes to raise even more money for his charity than last time.  Please tune in to hear how he got the nickname ‘Taco’ and please consider helping him raise money for this amazing organization.  You can learn more by googling the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge.

Prescription for Justice: A Nurse’s Journey to Becoming a Lawyer.  My guest this week is Ms. Melissa Dabar, A Lawyer for the People.

“Tough times never last, but tough people do.” ~ R. Schuller

This week’s guest is a great example of someone that encompasses the American Dream.  Ms. Dabar came from a small town in Arkansas where everyone knew everyone’s business.  In addition to the small population Ms. Dabar also grew up during a time and place where girls were not considered to be capable of doing much and their place was in the house.  This was so much the case that her parents even suggested that she drop out of high school because she really didn’t need it.

Well, Melissa did not subscribe to these lowered expectations.  In fact, if anything, this only fueled her desire to reach for something more.  It was when she witnessed her grandmother receive great care from her nurses that inspired her to become a nurse herself when she finished high school.

Later in her life after she had gotten married she found herself suddenly in an abusive relationship.  As the years went by and she came to terms that her marriage was toxic and unhealthy, she decided to make another incredible life change.  The inspiration for her next move was very unconventional, but definitely a show of true faith.  After having a dream that she was supposed to be representing the underserved community she took the leap and went to law school.  Her “can do” attitude will certainly inspire you and leave you feeling anything can be possible.

In addition to Ms. Dabar’s many accomplishments she now produces an amazing podcast called, “American Fight Stories”, where she highlights Americans that have overcome incredible adversity and refused to give up when other’s might have thrown in the towel.  You can find her podcast on Spotify and other podcast platforms and you can find her law firm at “Dabar Law Firm”.
