At just 11 years old, Benjamin Gardner is proving that kindness, creativity, and purpose can spark powerful change. Alongside his dad, Kyle, Benjamin shares how his love for pickleball led to the creation of Stinger Prints—a small business with a big heart. What started as a 3D-printed bag tag has grown into a ripple of generosity supporting the Kansas City Stingers Youth Foundation. Through entrepreneurship, giving, and community, Benjamin reminds us that no one is too young to make a difference and that the best businesses are built with heart.

Key Takeaways:

• Kindness and creativity can turn a simple idea into something with lasting community impact.

• Giving back creates joy—not just for others, but for yourself.

• You're never too young to lead with purpose and make a difference.

• Parents play a key role in nurturing curiosity, confidence, and compassion.

• The most meaningful success comes from doing what you love and sharing it with others.

About Benjamin Gardner:

Benjamin Gardner is a 5th grader at Brookwood Elementary School. He prefers to go by Benjamin — though some people call him Ben — as he's currently making the switch. He has three sisters and no brothers, and they're all very nice to him.

Benjamin participates in several activities, including choir, volleyball, and band. He's also known for his strong tech skills — his classmates often call him "the techy dude," a nickname he proudly embraces.

He is the owner of a small business called Stinger Prints, inspired by the Kansas City Stingers, the National Pickleball League team of Kansas City. Benjamin's dad plays on the team, which helped spark the connection. Through Stinger Prints, Benjamin 3D-prints pickleball-themed bag tags, such as miniature pickleballs or paddles personalized with names. He sells his creations at SW19 at the stadium during "Stinger Week" and is currently working on launching a website.

Benjamin's business also gives back — 10% of the proceeds made during Stinger Week are donated to the Kansas City Stingers Youth Foundation. In addition, he assists his dad with youth foundation clinics. Occasionally, his sisters help out at his stand when they're looking for something to do.

Healing often begins with awareness—the quiet moment you choose to look within and face what's beneath the surface. In this conversation, Carron Montgomery, author, counselor, and trauma specialist, shares how her work through The Invisible Riptide and upcoming graphic novel The Real Truth About Lena helps others navigate anxiety, grief, and emotional growth with compassion. Drawing from her experience as a mother, therapist, and advocate for mental health, Carron reminds us that true healing isn't about avoiding the waves but learning to move through them with grace, empathy, and community.

Key Takeaways:

• Awareness is the starting point for healing—it allows us to name what we feel and begin to release it.

• Children and adults alike need tools to understand their emotions, not hide from them.

• Empathy and compassion can transform pain into connection and restore our sense of belonging.

• Community and open conversations about mental health help break the stigma and foster hope.

• Healing becomes powerful when we use our experiences to guide and uplift others.

Before the breakthrough comes the pause, the moment when you choose to look within and prepare your heart for what's next.

In this intimate conversation, Bayleigh Soza sits down with Dr. Michelle Robin to share her reflections before beginning The Hoffman Process- a transformative journey of healing and self-discovery. At just 26, Bayleigh opens up about the courage it takes to face generational patterns, practice self-awareness, and extend grace to herself and others.

Through the lens of motherhood, leadership, and inner growth, she reflects on what it means to live with intention and to prepare for change not by fixing yourself, but by meeting yourself with compassion. This episode reminds us that transformation doesn't start with the doing, it starts with the being.

Key Takeaways:

• The "before" of healing is sacred—it's where awareness begins to take root.

• Self-compassion opens the door to deeper connection with others.

• Breaking patterns is an act of love—for yourself, your family, and future generations.

• True leadership is born from grace, vulnerability, and authenticity.

• Growth begins with small, intentional choices to pause, reflect, and begin again.

Once an ESPN anchor and now the founder of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, James Swanwick's journey is one of self-discovery, transformation, and the power of choosing kindness for yourself.

• Choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle is one of the greatest acts of kindness you can give yourself.
