The Be Someone Podcast

Join us on this episode as we take a delightful trip down memory lane with Houston's very own Derrick Shore! We'll discover how this once awkward small-town teen blossomed into one of Houston's most influential voices. Derrick's career is truly remarkable: he's explored the wreckage of the Titanic, reported live from 9/11, and chatted with entertainment titans. His story is a testament to the power of embracing risk, exploring your passions, and stepping outside your comfort zone. Today, Derrick brightens our screens as the host of Houston Life TV on KPRC Ch 2, one of Houston's most-watched and longest-running shows. Thank you, my friend, for generously sharing your inspiring journey with us. Until next time!"

In this episode we chat with one of Houston's best muralist Floyd Mendoza III. This young man has had a sharp rise to the top of the HTOWN art scene. Just to demonstrate how small a world we live in Floyd is the son of a friend from many years ago. I had zero clue that the energetic kid running around with a cheese stick at the ball park would grow up to be one of the city's respected artist. Join us as we chat about his rise, mentors, mentality, and a whole host of other questions. Please continue to support the show by subscribing. 

On this episode we sit and chat with one of my favorite students and national champion wrestler Mason Milsaps. This episode was a long time coming, a year plus to be exact. As a 7th grader Mason had pleaded with me to let him on the podcast so he could share his story. I told him that we could bring him back his junior or senior year after he had won some state titles. Fast forward a little bit and this young man has done quite a bit more than that. He will be off next week to compete at the world games representing the red, white, and blue. Before he left we made it a point to bring him in studio and chop it up. This incredible young man is more than just a personality and a good wrestler. He recently lost his mother a few years back and struggles with Dyslexia. By all accounts he should be trending down and has every excuse to not be doing good. To no one's surprise though he has bounced back and used his hardships as a springboard for success. I wanted to honor this young man by sharing his story with the world and hope you guys enjoy listening to it just as much as I had interviewing him. We wish you luck Mason on your upcoming competition. There is not a doubt in anyone's mind that knows you that you will be successful in capturing your dreams. Please keep Mason on your radar because this young man is going places. Love you kid.
