    Eric Chiofalo on Navigating the Death of Charlie Kirk and Impact on His Faith

    This week on The One Big Thing Podcast, I sit down with my friend Eric Chiofalo — a husband, dad to three little girls, and sports radio host at 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. If you’ve followed my journey, you know how much the Dallas Cowboys have always meant to me because of my dad. So having Eric on — someone I’ve admired from a distance — was really special. But this conversation went far deeper than sports. Eric opened up about what’s been a heavy season for him following the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk — someone he admired as a man of faith, a husband, and a father. We talked about the raw emotions of grief, the anger that’s bubbled up watching people celebrate tragedy, and what it looks like to keep our hearts aligned with God in the middle of heartbreak. We dove into: Wrestling with anger and choosing grace insteadHow studying the Bible has reshaped Eric’s perspective on forgivenessBuilding a daily rhythm of prayer, scripture, and honest conversations with GodBalancing public influence with private integrity — especially when the mic goes offLearning to die to self as a husband and father, and bouncing back when we fall short This wasn’t just a conversation about faith — it was about being human. About being men who are trying to raise families, steward our platforms well, and not lose sight of who we are in the process. Eric’s honesty and humility reminded me that even in the public eye, we’re all just people trying to do our best, mess up less, and love well. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to keep going, to stay rooted, and to trust that God can use even the darkest moments to awaken something powerful in us. If this episode stirs something in you, share it with a friend who might need it. And as always, thank you for listening to The One Big Thing Podcast. ________________________________________ About Eric Follow him on his socials: @E.Chiofalo on insta @EricChiofalo on Twitter Eric Chiofalo on Facebook ________________________________________ Join my YouTube Community of over 33k subscribers where you can watch all my episodes at https://www.youtube.com/@stevecampbellpr Thanks to one of my show sponsors! 💪🏼 Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life?

Dr. Kiltz’s story is incredible—he went from a tough childhood in Los Angeles, even spending time in a gang, to becoming one of the leading fertility specialists in the country.

He shares openly about the role of faith in God, the power of mindset, and how he weaves spirituality, nutrition, and lifestyle into his practice. This conversation left me both inspired and challenged.

    Morgan Vance on Rebuilding After Rock Bottom

    This episode is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. I sat down with my friend Morgan Vance, Executive Director of the Pat Summitt Foundation, and we talked about something that so many of us face but often feel alone in: what happens after you hit rock bottom? Morgan opens up about walking through a painful divorce, the loneliness that followed, and the moment she found herself on her knees in her parents’ backyard, realizing she couldn’t do it on her own. But that wasn’t the end of her story — it was the beginning of a new one. She shares how therapy, faith, and a simple bag of chips (yes, really) helped her rediscover joy and reclaim her identity. Her “one big thing”? That there’s always a reason to praise — even in the middle of the mess. If you’re in a hard season right now — whether it’s divorce, depression, anxiety, or just feeling stuck — I want you to know you’re not alone. Morgan’s story is a reminder that healing is possible, joy is real, and sometimes the smallest moments can be the most powerful. We also talk about the incredible work she’s doing through the Pat Summitt Foundation to support families impacted by Alzheimer’s, and how you can get connected if that’s part of your journey too. _______________________________________ About Morgan Morgan is a proud wife and mother of five. She serves as the Executive Director of the Pat Summitt Foundation, charged with protecting the life and legacy of legendary women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt while advancing the organization’s mission in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. _______________________________________ Listen to the One Big Thing on your favorite platform at https://pod.link/1689287620 You can watch all episodes on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@stevecampbellpr ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'd also love for you to subscribe to this podcast and leave a rating and review.

    In this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the privilege of sitting down with former MLB pitcher and current high school coach Justin Masterson. You might know him from his days on the mound with the Red Sox, but what really struck me in our conversation was his heart for people and his deep insights on emotional maturity.

Justin shared how his definition of maturity has evolved into the ability to handle emotions well, especially in the face of hardship. Whether he's coaching teenagers, navigating marriage, or serving in his community, he’s learned that staying relational and grounded is key.

    General Stan McChrystal on the Importance of Your Character

    On this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the honor of sitting down with General Stanley McChrystal. You may know him as one of the most respected military leaders of our time, but in our conversation, we focused less on medals and missions and more on the thing that truly defines a life: character. We talked about what it means to be a father, a grandfather, and a human being trying to live out your values in a complicated world. Stan shares how character isn't something we inherit—it's something we choose. And we don't just choose it once—we choose it daily, especially in the hard moments when no one else is watching. We also got into: Why your example matters more than your achievementsHow to hold fast to who you are—even when the world feels loud, divided, and chaoticWhat Stan learned from leading soldiers in war and grandkids in peacetimeHow his book On Character: Choices That Define a Life came to be (and why it might help you rethink your own convictions) Whether you're a parent, a leader, or someone simply trying to do the next right thing, I think this episode will meet you right where you are. This conversation reminded me that we all have a say in the kind of person we become—and that it’s never too late to start making better choices. 🧠 Your one big thing today? Character isn’t what you say—it’s who you are when no one’s looking. And you own that. ________________________________________ About Stanley McChrystal Co-Founder of McChrystal Group Former Commander of U.S. and International Forces in Afghanistan Former Leader of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Author of My Share of the Task: A Memoir, Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World, Leaders: Myth and Reality, Risk: A User’s Guide, and Character: Choices that Define a Life.
