Growing up in Marietta, Mo Isom was driven to be the best soccer player around. At age 9, she decided she would get a sports scholarship to college, after hearing a older family friend that he had a scholarship.

Several years later she walked unto the field at LSU  and she became an all American goal keeper. She even appeared on ESPN when she kicked a 90 yard goal. 

But all wasn’t as it seemed. 

Join me as we talk through her Dad’s suicide, her near death in a car wreck and her beginning life all over again.

We also discuss her latest book, “Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot”.

Hear the rest of Damien’s amazing story, including his journey to owning and providing for his family through his Computer R Us small business. Hint: he provides terrific customer service at a fair price.

Jen Starks and Christie Clarke met at the Marietta Library. They knew they were homeschoolers because their kids were about the same age. They connected like were like magnets. 

But their relationship had some bumps. They once went to Asheville during a ice storm and had the longest hug ever when they made it and knew each other was safe. 

Now they host a Saturday morning connections Meetup at Cool Beans in Marietta and help other entrepreneurs connect with influencers and build relationships.
