Our country’s problems will never be solved by a bunch of fancy people in nice suits talking big words on CNN and Fox, but by An Army of Normal Folks just deciding “hey, I can help.” Hosted by Coach Bill Courtney from the Oscar-winning Undefeated, this podcast is building the Army and celebrating its extraordinary members. New episodes are released every Tuesday.

  • The Crazy Pastor Teaching Us The Right Kind of Crazy (Pt 1)
    Apr 7 2026

    Pastor Corey Brooks has helped transform the most violent area of Chicago into one that’s not in even in the top 35! And he’s done it by being utterly crazy—sleeping on a rooftop for 343 days in the Chicago winter to raise money, literally walking across America, and building a $40 million community center in the hood because they deserve it. Brooks will teach you how to act crazy (if you need to), as long as it’s just and for a just cause.

  • What Zig Ziglar Got Right (And Modern Self-Help Gets Wrong)
    Apr 3 2026

    Zig Ziglar didn’t build his success on hype or shortcuts—he built it on discipline, service, and helping others win first. In this Shop Talk, we break down the simple principles that can improve how you live, work, and serve—and why modern self-help has made them far more complicated than they need to be.

Loved the interview and the story. Full disclosure, I heard this story before thanks to Mike Rowe and his short lived, Emmy winning Facebook program. This is a reminder of the positive impact of simple things in a kids life...a bed!!!

I love the concept of highlighting good folks doing good things. Let's change the USA to be caring and kind regardless of class or creed.
