    Jul 10 2024

    In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with Inspirational Speaker, Former Pro Athlete & Author Lance Thonvold to discuss his best selling book and movement Planted Not Buried. Who are you when things don’t go right? When the plan doesn’t work out the way it’s supposed to? Most of us have been in situations where we aren’t moving at the speed we want to move, and we are facing circumstances we don’t want to face. While these situations are never easy, they present an opportunity to grow in the face of adversity and flourish even if our life seems to be on hold. In this perspective changing book, MLB draft pick and motivational speaker Lance Thonvold shares his struggles with identity and self-worth as his baseball dreams came crashing down at the peak of his career. Following an exceptional first season of professional baseball with the Seattle Mariners, Thonvold experienced heartbreaking injuries to his pitching elbow for three straight seasons. In You Are Being Planted, Not Buried, Thonvold discusses what he learned while rehabbing those gruesome injuries in Peoria, Arizona, developing the mindset that we are so much more than what we do in life. This life-altering book will shake your own identity constructs, help you to embrace failure instead of run from it, and truly be planted for growth wherever you are at in your life.

  • G-Man For All Seasons #24 w/ Andrew Poncho Glover
    Feb 29 2024

    In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with former 3 Sport HBCU Star and NFL Vet Andrew Poncho Glover to discuss his new best selling book G-Man For All Seasons.


    This is a beautiful love story. Not a boy meets girl lives happily ever after tale, but a deep dive into the genuine love for the sports. All sports. This idea of “deep love for the game” is not unique, as there are countless astonishingly talented professional players, players at all levels, collegiate, high school, little league and even the neighborhood sandlot player, who adores sports as well. However, Andrew “Poncho” Glover’s story is unique in how the love for sports began and how the zeal for football was cultivated. The obstacles he encountered as a small framed black kid from Louisiana to the strong man that earned his way to a 10-year career in the NFL, is remarkable. Ascension at its highest level. The story will follow his life as he transitions from early childhood to high school athletics, to earning a scholarship to attend Grambling State University. Building the right relationship is pivotal to the person he became, meeting Eddie G. Robinson, Sr., a coach/mentor at Grambling State, Mr. Bubber, a local businessman in his hometown, his Godfather and several more men. These men were pivotal during the different stages of his life.


    When Poncho finally locked in, he exceeded everyone’s expectations of him in the classroom, on the football and track field and basketball courts. He worked diligently and bet on himself, the rebellious Poncho. This dedication allowed him to win championships in three different sports all in the same school year. He was coined “The Man For All Seasons”, at Grambling State. Andrew “Poncho” Glover is undoubtedly a generational talent.

  • Manic On Fire #23 w/ Monster Tarver
    Feb 22 2024

    In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with former WWE Wrestler and current CHH Artist Monster Tarver aka Michael Tarver to discuss his new best selling book Manic On Fire “Burning From The Inside Out”.

    “I know I’m not the only one who’s been through a few versions of hell.” As the son of a preacher and a prize fighter, Tyrone Evans Jr. aka “Monster” Tarver spent his childhood bookended by attacks both spiritual and physical attacks. He watched his father go from training camp in the NFL with the Denver Broncos to sparring with Mike Tyson. He learned first-hand that fame is fickle — especially when he achieved it himself, then had it stripped away.


    Third grade was the first time Monster tried to end his life. Depression, homelessness, poverty, divorce, and fame followed him into adulthood where he survived new versions of hell each time.

    Monster’s story of overcoming, by fighting the good fight of faith, will inspire you to take just one more step, and then another, so you too can experience living out your “outrageous” childhood dreams.
