Hey everyone! I thought I would introduce you to a really cool gal who played softball at the University of Dayton. Lillie was one of our stellar AIA student leaders - oh, does she have a story to tell. So, tune in to the end… and hear how the sport of softball gave Lillie more than she could imagine - from life-long friends to finding a purpose to experiencing the power of prayer… one slide into 3rd base dramatically changed her life. Another Priceless story coming your way…. So come on in and join us!!

Happy New Year, Friends! I’m pumped to start 2023 by welcoming you to a really cool podcast episode of Priceless Backstories. 

Today on the show … you’ll get to hear a special conversation with 3 X Olympic Gold Medalist, Leah O’Brien Amico. Have you been asked the question: if you could have a meal with anyone you want in this lifetime who has inspired you… who would it be and why? No doubt, Leah would be at the top of my list!!

As a teenager, I played centerfield in travel ball and competed with some of the best in the state of Ohio to prepare for college softball. I looked up to talented players, like Dot Richardson, Leah O’Brien, and Laura Berg … all who were outfielders on the Olympic Softball Team. I wanted to be like them!! 

Well… little did I know that at the age of 40, while visiting Jason’s family in California over Thanksgiving, I would have the opportunity to hang out at a coffee shop and have conversation with Leah Amico.  This was an opportunity of a lifetime for me. And Friends, it was the best!!

Leah is a professional and inspirational speaker and the Host of the Gold Standard Podcast. If you have seen the college softball world series on TV, you may have seen Leah announcing play by play on the softball field. She is a friend of Athletes in Action, a member of our AIA Hall of Faith, and a friend of the Podcast. Happy New Year to you, and enjoy my much anticipated podcast conversation with Leah Amico.

Tis the season for serving and making an impact!! Today on the show, I get to talk with my friend Kris Horlacher. Kris is doing incredible things in the Dayton area, as she is the founder and executive director of Shoes 4 the Shoeless. I am overwhelmed when thinking of all the kids at or below the poverty line and full of joy with how these kids have been impacted by receiving socks and shoes at their school through Kris and her Team. 

What's it take to make this happen?? All Kris needs is half a million dollars a year and 500 volunteers a month - I have personally volunteered half a day and served with Shoes 4 the Shoeless and meeting these kids. What you do is sign up for a day, they place you on a team for the day at a school in your area, aynd when you arrive that day, Kris will brief you as a group on how to measure a kid's foot and pick out shoes and socks that's best for the kid you are helping.  I can't get over seeing many kids arriving to us with their heads down, small shoes, needing new socks... and after 15 mins with them, many are jumping up in down in their new shoes or taking a lap around the gym with smiles on their face. 

So glad to have Kris on the show to hear her backstory of how this all got started and how God is at work. She makes the world a better place, and I can’t think of a better way to move into the New Year from the holiday season than talking all things faith, fun, healthy living, and reaching our communities, than with Kris.
