In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with Willie Green to discuss his new best selling book From a Small Town to the Big Leagues.

Willie Green is an unlikely success story. Raised in the Pauldoe Projects in Athens, Georgia in the 1960’s and 70’s he was surrounded by racism, poverty, and struggled with a severe learning disability. But he was able to overcome his circumstances to get drafted to the NFL.

Pro Status: From a Small Town to the Big Leagues is a record of Willie Green’s life from childhood to becoming a professional athlete, businessman, and civic leader. Whether it’s facing intense racism, closing million dollar deals, opening a sports arena, or navigating political barriers—Green has stood firm by applying the foundational principles he learned as a young man.

This book is based on real stories and experiences of Green’s distinguished life, including being raised by a strong and influential mother who was a community leader and a proud hardworking father who never learned to read. Each chapter documents a specific time in history that invites the reader into his world to engage with the story and glean lessons that are designed to encourage and empower. With a graceful and unapologetic tone, Willie provides the information, motivation, and spirit required for anyone to go from playing small to living big!

In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with Best Selling Author and former NC State Legend Dereck Whittenburg to discuss his new best selling book The Shot Heard Around The World: How I Went From The Playground To The White House.

Dereck Whittenburg’s journey of wanting to become a basketball player begins while watching a nationally televised game where he sees his cousin and future NBA Hall of Famer, David Thompson, winning the 1974 National Championship at NC State. From that moment, Whittenburg decided that he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his cousin and dreamed of not just becoming a Wolfpack, but to also being a part of a National Championship team himself.

Whittenburg’s “pass” to win the 1983 National Championship game with just seconds left on the clock to defeat the mighty Houston Cougars, who were led by future Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, will forever be remembered as one of the most memorable plays in sports history. Although Whittenburg understands that he also wants people to know that he has accomplished many great things since that memorable moment. After being cut by the Phoenix Suns and playing just one season overseas in France, Whittenburg quickly realized that his dreams of becoming a basketball player in the NBA was no longer a part of the plan.

Aside from Whittenburg wanting to share his basketball journey, he also wanted to use his story as a reminder that life isn’t over when things don’t go according to plan. Throughout his story, he expresses the importance of being a great listener, respecting your parents, and also the importance of having great friendships. Although many people will remember Whittenburg that memorable moment in the 1983 Championship game, he still continues to empower others to fulfill their dreams. He wants to encourage the youth to know and understand who you are and where you came from.

In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with Best Selling Author and former NFL cornerback Derrick Burroughs to discuss his new best selling book Erased From History.

The story of Derrick Burroughs, former NFL 1st round draft pick for the Buffalo Bills, whose career was cut short due to a paralyzing neck injury vs the Houston Oilers in 1989. However, it is not just his career that was cut short; he takes you through his life from childhood to the present, where seemingly most of the things he deemed important in his life, whether athletically, academically, family, personal or life accomplishments all seem to have been erased or forgotten. To mask his pain and trust issues, he sought solace in promiscuity but found redemption by making peace with his past and inspiring others to learn and return, revitalize and nurture family, friends, and relationships.

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.

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.
