Dreaming Big: Liam's Journey from Game-Winning Interceptions to Future Aspirations
What happens when a seventh grader with big dreams and a love for football takes the mic? My son, Liam, joins me on this special career day episode of Keep Hope Alive to share his world through the eyes of a young athlete with aspirations beyond the field. Liam talks about his thrilling game-winning interception and the lessons in perseverance he's learned from sports. Our conversation weaves through his dreams of future careers in football, law, or as a pastor, and the importance of embracing mistakes as stepping stones to success. We also explore the joy of storytelling and how this podcast has become a platform to inspire others through shared experiences.
We lighten the mood by swapping funny childhood stories and talk about my newfound hobby of singing in the church worship team—nerves and all! The discussion turns toward friendships, early preparations for scholarships, and the evolving world of technology and AI. We share laughs about family antics, like water volleyball mishaps, and touch on the importance of education and community involvement. Through it all, the episode highlights the importance of dreaming big, staying informed, and cherishing the family bond that keeps us grounded as we navigate life's various paths together.

And I was just like you know what in a business, and I was just like you know what what a perfect way to bring podcasts to my son and let him interview me. So bloopers are bloopers, right, liam? Yeah, yeah. And then we're just going to have fun and you know, I'm going to let him ask questions, but remember, always be true to yourself and just to have a good time when you're talking to people and interviewing them. And you know, welcome, liam, to career day.
Speaker 1:So I want to ask you a couple of questions. Is that okay with you? Right, really quick? Ask you a couple questions. Is that okay with you? Right, really quick, yeah, okay. So we know your name is Liam. How old are you, liam? 12. 12. Wow, that is amazing. And I see the background it's a football field. Do you play sports and, if so, what sports do you play?
Speaker 2:I play football.
Speaker 1:Okay, and have you ever played any other sports, or is it just football? I've played basketball and soccer and soccer. Which one did you like the most?
Speaker 2:Football, football, okay, so people are going to want to know what position are you playing.
Speaker 1:I play corner.
Speaker 2:Okay, and have you played any other positions? Wide receiver and safety.
Speaker 1:That is amazing, so I know you probably had a really good coach, right?
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Aw, and who was your coach?
Speaker 2:Coach Peebles. He's amazing, right so, but he's taught you a lot what was a couple of the things he taught you that you learned from Coach Peebles how to like because I wasn't that good when I started playing. But he taught me like the fundamentals and like different routes and techniques and like how to stay with your man when you're guarding a corner that is so cool.
Speaker 1:Okay, and did you? Where do you live? In Texas, right, yeah, yeah, so it's Texas football. Yeah, all right, that's amazing, but the fundamentals that he taught you, Liam, what was one of your best memories that you have learning? One of the fundamental things.
Speaker 2:When I played for the Knights football team and we like he taught me like a practice, like before, and how to like run different routes for the game.
Speaker 1:Okay. And are you a fast runner? Yeah, Okay. So at school do you run like track or anything?
Speaker 2:It's not track season yet, but I probably will.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, I guess at your age I'm your mom, of course I know what grade you're in. What other things when football stops, do they make you learn, like in?
Speaker 2:football yeah, to help you learn Like in football.
Speaker 1:Yeah, to help you before the next season.
Speaker 2:We do weightlifting and conditioning outside.
Speaker 1:That is cool. So you get to build some muscles, I guess. And do your legs ever get tired from running and working out, especially during the games? Now, I know you talked about the nights, but now you're in middle school, correct? So you're playing football. So tell me about one of your best plays you've ever done.
Speaker 2:Like at middle school.
Speaker 1:It doesn't matter, it could be anywhere. Middle school. You can name more than one if you want to.
Speaker 2:I'll do one. It was last year for the team the Bengals, and it was the semifinals and the other team was about to score and win the game and I intercepted it and won us the game.
Speaker 1:Yay, that's amazing. Good for you. Alright, tell us about another memory that you have Of like football, just that you like football.
Speaker 2:Wait, no, like a memory of football.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when playing any certain games.
Speaker 2:The last season, the finals, whenever we were the worst, like the lowest seed in the playoffs, and we beat the number one seed in the championship and we beat the number one seed in the championship and we won the championship. That is.
Speaker 1:That's amazing. So you have your highs and you have your lows when playing sports and I know when you're with a team and you lose against somebody, it can be pretty emotional, right. Yeah, people get really sad. So what can you tell somebody who gets really upset if they lose a game? What's the best way to?
Speaker 2:get through that. Just keep your head up and then, if you had any mistakes, learn off of them. And then, if you had any mistakes, learn off of them. And then just keep like keep, don't give up. It's not the end of the world. Just keep going, do better the next game and try and hype up your teammates to make them do better.
Speaker 1:That's good. Sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders. That's good. Sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders. So, um, I guess you know future goals, what? What do you say in the future? Are you going to keep playing football? What are your goals?
Speaker 2:try and play football. If that doesn't work out, I'll try and be like a lawyer or like a church pastor or like okay, I'll play that okay.
Speaker 1:Lawyer or church pastor, that's really cool. That's really good. I'm so proud of you all. Right, well, you know, I know you have some questions for your mom too, so I'll let you ask me some questions and I'll do my best to get those answered, okay um, how is it?
Speaker 2:like how I do you like running a podcast, like how is it?
Speaker 1:just a lot of fun because with podcasts Keep Hope Alive, I'm helping other people be heard and that's really important to people because somebody's story can help another person out there in the world, so I love it.
Speaker 2:Okay, my next question is what made you want to start a podcast?
Speaker 1:That is a really good question. So it was brought to my attention as I was doing a networking group that somebody wanted to hear me online and I really didn't think to do a podcast with my meetings. But I went out and I gave it some thought and talked to a couple of friends and magically it just came about. I can't really get into that, but it just did and I'm so happy. So that was the start of Keep Hope Alive, and I didn't know what to call it because I'm a certified wedding planner and photographer so my main focus has always been on the event industry.
Speaker 1:But I knew my calling out there in the world was to help people in the world. Calling out there in the world was to help people in the world. So I had to do a lot of like searching my soul and what I wanted to talk about, and then I had to have a strategy for marketing and putting this out there. So it did fall into my lap pretty quickly and when you do have experience with running companies or working in different industries, it makes it a little bit easier and then you can get it and rock and roll.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's an interesting story. Okay, Okay. Then our next question is what hidden talents do you have?
Speaker 1:you're my son, you know all my hidden talents. So the hidden ones, I do think I'm a little bit funny. I I don't think I'm comedian wise, but I know I can definitely make people laugh and laugh hard. But it's not a try for me. Another hidden talent is I love to sing and I was very blessed at the church we go to. They asked me to be on the worship team. So that's a new chapter in my life. And if I'm not singing at church, I'm singing karaoke somewhere.
Speaker 2:What is it like? Are you excited to start doing choir at church? Are you ready for it? Is it going to be a choir at church You're like? Are you, like, ready for it? Is it going to be a lot for you?
Speaker 1:So I guess this is a part of the hidden talent. But for me, when I go to church and I hear them singing, yes, the words are up there, but it almost feels like it comes very natural to me. And so am I nervous? Yes, I'm very nervous, but will I do good? Yes, and I got to let God take my hand and go up there and try. Right, it's just like football you got to try, try and then you succeed. I know I'm not going to be some big time singer in the middle of the stage, I don't want that, and I just wanted to be with a group of people and we all share the same faith and have the same meaning in life, and I think that's what makes it so special to be around. But to go back to your question about being nervous and stuff yeah, mommy's nervous, I'll be okay.
Speaker 2:My next question is what's your favorite?
Speaker 1:podcast you've done out of all of them. Oh boy, all of them are really my favorite. I have to choose one. Yeah, I don't even see you anymore. Where'd you go? Okay, I have to choose one, I guess. Oh well, that's putting me on the spot. I like them all. Liam um answer you. So I think the one. Okay, I forgot her name, but she stayed in mineral wells at a haunted house and experienced things that usually people don't experience, so that was one that I even re-listened to. But you know, boy, I mean I've had ones where I talked to a prison guard person that I liked. There's so many different coaches and authors, it's just hard. It's hard to say that I have a favorite one, but there's ones that definitely do stand out. If that makes sense, all right, you want me to ask you some questions now?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the next time I ask questions they're going to be like fun ones. They're going to be like fun ones, oh cool, okay. So can you tell me about seventh grade and what it's like to be in seventh grade? It's kind of it's not as bad as everybody says it is and it's like like a lot of the subjects are pretty easy and there's like a choice to do advanced and I'm on a level, but on level but size one, just Texas history.
Speaker 1:And I just stayed with my friends from elementary school and, yeah, that is so cool and it's cool to have best friends and everything. So I'm going to ask a quick favor on the podcast, which I never do. Can you help me get Abby out of the room? She's scratching on the door. I'll give you a second. Go, abby.
Speaker 1:So we have two dogs, abby and Gizmo, and both of them like to be a little bit stir trouble. So I think Abby wants to be on the podcast. All right, okay, we're getting the doggies out, but I want to thank you to everybody who's listening to this podcast, because it means a lot to us. So I think he's coming back. If not, you're going to hear my dog knocking on the door to leave. Okay, all right. Gizmo is actually snoring behind me. Hopefully that doesn't pick up. We can share all the bloopers, right, okay? So seventh grade it sounds like you're making some really good grades. Do you have a favorite subject? Math, math, not. A lot of people say math, but I'm happy for you. So what do you like about math?
Speaker 2:My teacher.
Speaker 1:Ooh, okay, and a lot of people really don't say much about that either, but kudos to the math teacher. Yay, you're making a difference in kids' lives, so that's really good. Are you learning algebra yet?
Speaker 2:Pre-algebra.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, and how are your grades in algebra? Because I know I wasn't good at algebra.
Speaker 2:In all of math I have a 94.
Speaker 1:That is really good. I'd probably be like a 64 or something if I was in school again, so I am so happy. So do you get rewarded for good grades? No, no, no kudos, nothing from anybody, not even me Sometimes. Buddy, not even me sometimes sometimes. Okay, I'll take that, so okay. And then, as far as like having best friends, of course you're friends with everybody on the team. Do you have a best friend? Cat got your tongue?
Speaker 1:huh, you have a best friend all of them huh all of them, all of them, okay, okay, I Well.
Speaker 2:I guess that covers everything. Most of them are friends, and then most of them I would count the people from elementary as best friends.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I know who that person is as your best friend, so I'll do a special call out on that. So, but definitely so, are you planning to go to college? Do you want to go and get a scholarship?
Speaker 2:yeah, I'm gonna try to do um, like if my football career goes well, I'm going to try and go to OU, but if it aren't, like any other college that offers me. But if football doesn't work out, probably go to a college it's a little bit smaller and pursue my career and like being a lawyer.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's cool, Okay, yay, okay. Well, I know you're going to do good and I know I remember I talked to a lady who does scholarship prepping at the earliest ages too, so I think that would be a good idea to look into all that stuff as well. So one more favor Can you get Gizmo out? He knows me so well. So no dogs, the better we are. So, as I want to, I know what I'm going to ask him. Give us one second, okay. Okay, let's see we're almost back. I'm so sorry. Give us one second. Usually this does not ever happen in a podcast, by the way. Alright, so Does not ever happen in a podcast, by the way, all right. So I really like your name when does it come from?
Speaker 1:Bold and the Beautiful. It comes from Bold and the Beautiful. Is your mom a soap opera fan. Yeah, yeah, okay. What are my favorite soap operas? Young and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful. Okay, have you ever watched them Once? You're like no, I play video games. I ignore all the soap operas. So definitely, oh, okay.
Speaker 2:So what are your questions for me that are super, okay, fun? What's your favorite?
Speaker 1:food. I really like Italian food and a lot of people will say, oh, olive Garden is not really Italian. Well, to me it is. I love their breadsticks and their salad and their raviolis, and then I always get their cappuccino and tiramisu. Okay, what's your favorite food?
Speaker 2:Canes Donuts. Did you say donuts? I said canes Donuts.
Speaker 1:Did you say donuts? I said canes, canes, okay. So chicken obviously, yeah, okay. So what's your next question?
Speaker 2:What is one childhood memory you would want to keep forever?
Speaker 1:I've talked about this before, but it was your pop-pop's mom, your great grandma. She lived in California and she was at the beach a lot, but she always told me there was a talking sea turtle that always asked how I was doing and how it would swim out in the sea and just be perfect and happy and really cared about me. So that is one. I'm so drawn to sea turtles. I even have a necklace sea turtle and I got my nose pierced but I'm looking at a little turtle to put there. I really like turtles. You know that. Okay, Do you have a favorite childhood memory Do you want to hold on to at your age?
Speaker 2:Going to Six Flags. Six Flags, okay, you have a favorite ride out there.
Speaker 1:I was like five and I was doing the little Mickey Mouse rides oh, okay, I remember we went on a ride and I lost my sunglasses. You remember that? Yeah so in the summer I like the splash one, the water one, the roaring rapids, I think it was called, where you sit with everybody. Yeah, okay, what is your next question?
Speaker 2:what's your favorite holiday?
Speaker 1:well, I like Christmas. That's my favorite holiday because family is together and, of course, there's presents and the food is amazing and we're celebrating Jesus's birthday wait what I'm not gonna ask you a question, boy. I'll let you just ask away and then I'm gonna come right back with more questions for you um.
Speaker 2:What's your, what's your favorite movie?
Speaker 1:there's a lot of good movies, um, the one I go back to is called shag, and it's a bunch of girls that take a vacation to myrtle beach and they enter a dance contest. But they learned how to be free and happy and each one had a different character and their story plot was just amazing. So I like watching Shag a lot. What's your favorite movie?
Speaker 2:Twisters. Who Twisters Twisters?
Speaker 1:Who Twisters, twisters, plural. So the one that just came out this year. Okay, you don't like the first one, oh okay. So the second one I gotcha, I gotcha, so Alright. So the second one I gotcha, I gotcha, so alright if you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
Speaker 1:so before I go to bed I've been looking at Fiji pictures because I really want to go to Fiji, because I really want to go to Fiji and I also want to go to Bora Bora and the Maldives. But the Maldives is, I think I hope I'm saying right, I think that's won me over like 100%. It's so far, far away. But if I had one dream wish, that's where I would want to go. Do you have a favorite place you want to go?
Speaker 2:I would not travel anywhere. I would want to go on a cruise.
Speaker 1:I would want to go on a cruise and go from Mexico and go on like a two-week cruise, two weeks, I think the highest number of days they do is seven days. But you know what If you become a football star? I bet they let you on for a month. How about that? Yeah, take a nice one month vacation, all right. So I want to ask you a question. A couple of questions now. So do you have a favorite football team? Eagles, eagles, okay. So is it? Who's your favorite player?

Speaker 2:Yeah, I do have more questions, like two more.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, go ahead and ask me two more. What's your dream?
Speaker 1:job dream job. Oh, I like the jobs I'm in, but if I had to do it all over, I would probably really pursue my own talk show. So that is where I'm at right now, meaning when we get older, it changes all the time for us. So when I was younger, I wanted to be a certified wedding planner and then I became a professional photographer and I've always had a job in customer service and I learned a lot about home improvements, whether it's like roofing, gutters, windows, painting, bathroom remodels. So I have that experience and plus a lot of different experience in the event industry and I've ran two companies and now I have my own podcast and I'm happy. But, like I was telling you the journey of even going into a fun hobby like the singing, the worship, but I don't know. I like talking. Imagine that your mom likes to talk, so so, yeah, I would love to have my own show and interview people one day that's a good job.
Speaker 2:Last question what's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you?
Speaker 1:what's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you? It was in Galveston. I was at the beach with my best friend. I don't want to go into details, but it was embarrassing, how do I put this? So something that shouldn't have happened happened and somebody else spotted it and told me hey, there's a problem. Blah, blah, blah. And I was so embarrassed but I can't go into detail, I'm sorry. Do you have?
Speaker 2:anything else? Huh, do you have any other embarrassing stories?
Speaker 1:Of course I do. I have a lot of embarrassing stories, like one time I rolled down a hill and hit my head on a pole and asked if my headband was okay. That was embarrassing. So I don't know, it was just having fun with Patty and Al and all them just having a good time, but somehow I rolled down the hill. I almost got my nose broken too, playing water volleyball. You weren't born yet, but Mallory was, so I used to play water volleyball at our apartment complex with all the neighbors. So yeah, there's a lot of embarrassing things, but I'm not going to ask you about embarrassing things unless you have one. You do? You want to share an embarrassing moment?
Speaker 2:Poop my pants what I was at my friend. He went to one of his family's houses and they lived in the country and this was like two years ago and I they didn't have, like the bathroom wasn't clean and I didn't want to go and then they are you sure you want to say this in front of the world?
Speaker 1:I?
Speaker 2:would do it, and then I was running and then it happened.
Speaker 1:Well, you know what Crap does happen in the world and we got to learn from it. Oh my gosh, liam, I'm so proud of you and I'm so proud to be your mama, even after that story too. So, but you know, when you go to school and you are learning about different careers, you really want to stay focused to that, and the reason being, some people will go all the way up to their senior year and they graduate. What do you want to be? And some people will say I don't know. I have no idea yet, but I think it really comes within. Okay, and that's something that you have to learn on your own.
Speaker 1:Basically, I did not know what I wanted to be when I was younger. I thought it would be something in the hospitality industry, because that was just easy and there was classes for it and I really thought that was going to be the direction. But we all have a journey, lee, and you follow those steps and, like I tell you, when you tell me you like football, yeah, I'm going to be at all your games and I'm going to be rooting for you and everybody on the team, and then also with your work. You mentioned maybe a pastor or a lawyer. I will help you and stand by your side and get to that point too. So, but you got to stay focused and make the good grades. I like that. You're doing a marketing class at school and you're doing really good. That's amazing, because everything in today's world is going to be all technology and AI and the more you can learn. What is it called Steam? Yeah, I would be learning all the AI stuff right now and all that how to operate.
Speaker 1:Remember I had to ask you about TikTok. That just proves my age, but this is stuff that you grasp and learn already and you know the trends of what's going on. I remember I asked you about hashtags. You remember that. Which ones are the upcoming ones? You know, and you told me that. So there's things that we can learn from each other and there's things that you can learn from other adults and other people who are in college and a little bit older and stuff. But you always make the decisions for yourself, because everybody has one life to live and you want to live it to the full potential. Does that make sense? Okay, so, as you're going through this career and wanting to know, are you wanting to like, learn how to run a business or go into a company. Business or go into a company.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Okay, let's pretend like let's say I want to go or you want to go to school to become a lawyer.
Speaker 2:What steps would you take? Four years of college and then I go to law school.
Speaker 1:Okay, and you probably aced the exam right. So what kind of law, I guess, would you want to study in? You want to help people get out of crimes and stuff that has been bad and didn't't really happen, or like what kind of family law? Criminal, criminal justice oh, wow, you already know. Okay, gotcha boy. Okay, all right, and then to become a pastor.
Speaker 2:I could do like missions and then work my way up from there and volunteer at local churches and become like a pastor for my church and yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, that is really cool. Those are good stomping ground steps to. You know, do that. So you know, I think there's like ministry school that you can go to, but also being involved in church is really good too. So I know, when we go to Sunday school, like on every Sunday, that is amazing. So all right. So is there anything you would like to tell the world right now about your mom?
Speaker 2:Nothing, embarrassing Nothing embarrassing Okay, okay, nothing embarrassing that you're very like behind all, like in like normal life. You're like you have like a lot of energy and you make you're funny oh see, I'm funny.
Speaker 1:Okay, what's the funniest thing I've done? Don't laugh. No, don't even say the funniest thing, okay, never mind, I put myself in that spot, don't even. Okay, huh, fart, what, farting, farting. So people in the world all fart. Do you realize that, liam? And I guess you can embarrass me here for that one time, but you know what? You hear it all the tiktoks and all the reels and everything right, we're all human, so okay. So what have you learned from this podcast?
Speaker 2:um, about like like being more social and like learning how podcasts work and this, like how they run and what it's like okay, and then you're gonna learn all the basics because you know what.
Speaker 1:Having a podcast, it looks easy but sometimes it's not, and that's one thing you got to remember. And it's about time management too. So I'm going to let you in on a secret about your mom. Okay, through working history. Okay, so I knew at age 14, I wanted to be a wedding planner. Okay, so I knew at age 14, I wanted to be a wedding planner. But I wanted to work in many different companies to learn the industry. So I would make a graft on poster board, so I'm a news stripping. And it was like, okay, what's in weddings? You have baker florist. Like, okay, what's in weddings? You have baker, florist, rentals, bridal registry, photographer, videographer, caterer right, you have all those different sections. So when I jumped in there, I go, but I want to learn about hospitality also. So I was at Arby's was my first job. Okay, I was a cashier and I also helped in drive through and learned everything there. And then I became a hostess at a restaurant and then I became a waitress at a restaurant and then I took it to the next step. I was going through school. I was like, okay, I'm going to go work at a country club now and they started to open my eyes into the world of catering big events for weddings. So that was a lot of hours. So when you can get a job, you're going to experience this too, from country clubs, learning the ropes there. I went to a hotel work front desk, pbx concierge and I helped the bellmen every now and then, and that's what my college scholarship certificate was for hospitality the Mary Crowley certificate.
Speaker 1:But your mommy made a weird decision and gave it up and got married, which I maybe have done. But I did. I followed my steps at the time, but I wish I could go back and maybe finish up school. So I'm hoping you know you do that as well. But then I started my own company. I don't even see you anymore. Are you doing exercises?
Speaker 1:So I started my own company. Then I became a photographer and then I started another company which was doing interviews before podcast ever came out Podcast doing what I love, so we're back to webcast. And then taking in jobs that were not in the industry was a thing too. I wanted to learn something, because being a photographer, you can't always depend on that income all the time. So I got another trade come all the time. So I got another trade and it's good to have multiple knowledge customer service management operations. I really hope and pray that you do take this podcast and hear what I'm saying. This is what has made mommy at age 46 successful right now and I really want you, and also your sister, to be very successful in life. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you think you're going to get an A on this podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Who do you think I've interviewed so far? What You're quiet. I got you on that one About how many podcasts have I done?
Speaker 2:400?.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's around 190 right now, so that's a lot right. You can either make this a full-time or a very part-time, so it goes different for what you can do and everything. So all right. Do you have any more questions for me? No, you look tired, so all right. Do you have any more questions for me? No, no, you look tired, so all right. Well, I'm going to wrap this up the way I always do. Thank you for listening to Keep Hope Alive. My interview with my wonderful son, liam, as he's doing career day in the seventh grade here in Allen, texas. I would like to thank one of my sponsors and I want to see if Liam could get this. Hey, liam, okay, pretend me and you are guests at a wedding and we have to go in and we're walking into a church and we look and we see this thing to sign. What are we signing?
Speaker 2:Yes, but.
Speaker 1:Very good, imagine that. So, yeah, and do you know who the sponsor is? No, okay, so our biggest sponsor here is Life on Record. So instead of that guest book, we do a rotary vintage phone where you get to pick it up and your guests can say congratulations on your big day, we're so happy for you. Or maybe it's a groomsman saying day, we're so happy for you. Or maybe it's a groomsman saying hey, it's about time you put a ring on her finger. Either way, all these messages get burned on to either a 12-inch vinyl record or a keepsake speaker box. Now the plan only starts at $99 and you get the phone number for a year. You got to return that phone, but it is an amazing, amazing company. Check them out at wwwlifeonrecordcom. If you would like to be a guest on Keep Hope Alive, you can find us at wwwkeephopelivepodcastcom. We're always here to hear your story and Liam, once again, thank you for being on the show. I hope you enjoyed talking to your mom as much as I enjoyed talking to you.
Speaker 2:I did. Thank you for having me on your podcast.
Speaker 1:You are so welcome, and good luck to you in all your adventures. I will always stand by your side. All right, until next time. Love and light, bye-bye.
