“Baseball was boring to me…I wanted to get up and down. I wanted to run and jump so Basketball was perfect for me. Now at 5’ 11” and white probably not the best choice looking back at it. I took my body to the limit.” – Mark Morrison on Conversations with Calcaterra

“The odds…crazy! Three to 5 years to survive if you survive the surgery. 50/50 chance to survive the surgery, 98% all these different numbers. I just shut that out. I’m not dying!!! – Mark Morrison on Conversations with Calcaterra

“If you want to teach then you gotta reach and that’s what I felt that I was reaching to these kids. Whatever you needed, whatever I had that day. If a kid said he was hungry I’d gave him my lunch, I bought them lunch. That was for me the reality check of how good I had it. - Mark Morrison on teaching in inner city schools on Conversations with Calcaterra

When going to high school did you ever wonder who your teacher was away from school? Certain teachers leave a lasting impression on their students and add a multiplier for coaches. Mark Morrison has served his students and athletes for two decades and is one of those educators who will never be forgotten. He joins Ken to discuss his career, his victory over brain cancer and the life experience which shaped him into a man who is “Making His Mark” on the world.

The latest episode features the Vorel Brothers of the punk band TLB. Both artists in different mediums bonded by their music. Had a blast speaking to Darren Vorel and Eric Vorel. I love their new album Blood and Sand. Punk at it's finest, dark subject with catchy tunes.

“I went through such a bad experience with the breakup which caused this band to happen. I almost didn’t want to do this band but Eric was there and said somebody is going to need this record like you needed the records you were listening to.” – Darren Vorel on Conversations with Calcaterra

Not every generation has an icon which drastically changes their chosen field. I am lucky to have experienced the music of Eddie Van Halen from an early age....
