Coach Bill Courtney is the founder of Classic American Hardwoods and he is the subject in the Oscar Award winning documentary Undefeated. In 2003, Bill began volunteering at Memphis’ inner city Manassas High School in an effort to turn its underperforming football team around. That same year, the team had 19 players with a dismal 4-95, 10-year record. In the 2008 & 2009 seasons, the team’s record improved to 18-2, with 75 players. The story inspired the Hollywood film—Undefeated—which won the 2012 Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary. In 2011, Bill was inducted into Bridge Builders for leadership in diversity, community, and justice. He was the 2012 recipient of the Liberty Bowl’s Harry Zinn Spirit of 1776 award for distinguished citizenship, recipient of the Carnival Memphis’ King’s award for outstanding achievement in Business and Industry, and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of fame Memphis chapter’s award winner for The distinguished American for Contribution to Amateur Athletics. In 2013, he was inducted into the prestigious Society of Entrepreneurs as a result of his success in business and community service. Today, Bill still operates as the President and CEO of Classic American Hardwoods. He speaks at a variety of events from the Para Olympics in Colorado Springs, with Nike, PepsiCo, FedEx, and other nationally recognized companies, to churches, schools, and hospitals. His first book, Against the Grain, was published in May 2014. So make sure you check out his website, book and documentary in the links. Dad Up!

Ken Ward is not only my dad, he is a husband, father of two, grandfather of seven and now a great-grandfather.

This is an episode that we both hope you enjoy. You will hear about his experiences as a child, the troubles he faced with his own dad and our relationship as father and son. There is some real raw emotion in this episode. So buckle up.

Ken still works a full-time job and has dedicated his life to doing his best as a provider to his family. He is super gifted building cars and and anything else around the house. He taught me a lot in both these areas.

He and my mom are about to celebrate 50 years of marriage. That is an amazing accomplishment for them!

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you. Have you ever wondered what your last words would be to your kids? I, like most dads, have thought about what would happen to my family if something ever happened to me. What if something tragic happens to YOU? My guest today is Blake Brewer, and after you hear his story, I believe you will want to take action. Words have power, and it’s through your words, after you’re gone, that you can strengthen your family and help them carry on. So how do we do this? Well, that’s where my guest, Blake Brewer, comes in. Blake is on a mission to help one million dads and moms write at least one well-written, meaningful, lasting Legacy Letter to their children. One Legacy Letter can change a life. Can you imagine when a million dads and moms write theirs? Blake has a wonderful wife and loves being a father to his three children, all under eight. As he leads his family, he draws from many mentors but none more important than his late father, Larry Brewer. I hope, after you hear his story, you will want to jump in with both feet and write your own Legacy Letter. Please check out Blake’s website below to get started. Dad Up!
