  • BigHerc916 No Father Figure, $40, and the Decision That Changed My Life Forever

    BigHerc916 No Father Figure, $40, and the Decision That Changed My Life Forever
    Dec 30 2025
    I was getting straight A’s.
    My mom was working two jobs.
    I didn’t have a male role model. I wasn’t trying to be a criminal —
    I was trying to belong, to be seen, to survive. Watching older guys hustle, I asked one question that led to one decision…
    and $40 changed my direction fast. This episode isn’t about glorifying mistakes.
    It’s about how environment, absence, and influence shape young men — often quietly, often fast. If you’ve ever wondered how “good kids” end up on the wrong road…
    or how easily life can pivot without guidance —
    this conversation will hit home.

Coach JB opens up about growing up in Compton, witnessing the changes in his community, and how football became a way to channel aggression, discipline, and purpose. This conversation goes far beyond the field — touching on fatherhood, relationships, trust, and character. They break down the harsh realities of life and coaching:
    • Why nobody cares about your struggles — and why that truth matters
    • Coaching as relationship-building, not babysitting
    • Loyalty, trust, and integrity in business and life
    • Fatherhood and challenging common narratives
    • The impact of NIL and the transfer portal on college football
    • The importance of education and life after football
    This episode is honest, direct, and grounded in experience — a reminder that success is still a result-oriented business built on standards and accountability. 🎙️ Don’t forget to check out The Coach JB Show for daily real talk on football, life, and leadership.

  • I Became the Man I Swore I’d Never Be… and Then I Chose to Change.

    I Became the Man I Swore I’d Never Be… and Then I Chose to Change.
    Nov 5 2025
    Tonight, I’m not interviewing anyone.
    Tonight… I’m burying someone.” In this solo episode of Front Porch Chronicles, I walk through the hardest chapter of my life — the moment I realized the version of me built from trauma was the same version destroying everything I loved. I talk about:
    • childhood trauma
    • emotional neglect
    • learning to be “strong” way too young
    • how silence and shame shaped my identity
    • becoming toxic as self-protection
    • the day I decided to bury that version of me
    “He wasn’t a villain… he was a shield.” I share how:
    • fear became anger
    • distance became defense
    • numbness became survival
    …and how healing required a funeral. This episode answers:
    • Where did my toxic self come from?
    • What did he cost me?
    • What pushed me to finally change?
    • What did killing him off look like?
    • What do I want my kids to learn from this?
    This isn’t inspiration.
    This is confession. “Healing is painful…
    Staying the same is lethal.” If you’re trying to break cycles…
    If you’re tired of performing strength…
    If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living… Welcome to the porch. Subscribe for Part 2 — more audience questions coming.

  • From Little League to Legacy: Brandon Canady on Blood, Sweat & Tears, Basketball & Purpose

    From Little League to Legacy: Brandon Canady on Blood, Sweat & Tears, Basketball & Purpose
    Oct 23 2025
    This episode is a full-circle moment. I coached Brandon Canady back in Montgomery, Alabama when he was just a quiet, focused kid with big potential — and now he’s a father, basketball coach, and founder of BST (Blood, Sweat & Tears), a clothing brand built on resilience and real life lessons. Brandon went from Brewbaker Tech High School to playing at the University of New Orleans, and today he’s using his story to teach others how to work hard, stay humble, and turn pain into purpose. We talk about:
    💭 Growing up in Montgomery and being coached hard but loved harder
    🏀 What basketball taught him about life, leadership, and self-belief
    🔥 The meaning behind BST — Blood, Sweat & Tears
    👕 Building a purpose-driven brand that inspires others to keep going Follow Brandon & his brand:
    👉 Instagram: @nadyswishh
    👉 BST Clothing: @bst_thebrand

    🎙️ The Front Porch Chronicles is about real stories, real growth, and the people who remind us that legacy isn’t what you leave behind — it’s who you lift while you’re here.
