    The Vow That Started Everything: Coach Lawrence Mann and the Making of a Top Achiever

    What happens when a father stands in a hospital room watching his five-year-old son fight for his life and makes a vow to God right then and there? For Coach Lawrence Mann, that moment did not just change his family. It launched a 30-year movement. In this episode, Theresa sits down with the founder of Top Achievers Foundation, a nonprofit serving kids in the Dallas area since 1996. Coach Mann shares his journey from the streets of Detroit to SMU, how a college recruiting deal brought him to Texas, and the moment he walked away from his job and gave his life to kids, health, and fitness. They talk about what real achievement actually requires, why putting kids in hard situations on purpose is one of the most loving things a parent can do, and why the greatest lesson sports teaches has nothing to do with the scoreboard. Coach Mann also shares stories from kids who came through Top Achievers and went on to do things nobody expected, including a young woman who nearly lost her scholarship at the finish line and made it through anyway. This is a conversation about faith, grit, and what it actually takes to become a top achiever.

    The Power of NOW is More Than You Think

    Have you ever felt stuck between the weight of your past and the uncertainty of your future? In this episode of TheUPside, Theresa unpacks one of the most thought-provoking concepts she has encountered in her personal growth journey: the difference between linear time and holistic time. Most of us move through life thinking time works like a row of dominoes. Yesterday leads to today, today leads to tomorrow, and the past gets to call the shots. But what if that is only half the picture? Drawing from the ideas in Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book The Science of Scaling, Theresa breaks down why your future is actually a more powerful force in your present than your past ever could be. She walks through how the stories we assign to past events shape who we become, how clarity about your future self becomes a roadmap for today, and why the most important moment of your life is always right now. This is a short, focused, and genuinely powerful episode. Theresa closes with three reflection questions that will help you reframe your past, clarify your vision, and identify the one thing you can do today to move forward.

    The Secret to Leading Long: Trust, Empathy & Knowing When to Ask for Help: An Interview with Wendi Harrelson

    What does it take to lead for 35 years and still love what you do? Theresa sits down with Wendy Harrelson, Divisional Leader for the Central Division and one of Keller Williams' most decorated leaders, for a conversation that is as honest as it is inspiring. Wendy's journey didn't start with a master plan. It started with a real estate book at an Eckerd's drugstore and a phone call that changed everything. From there, she built a career defined not by titles but by relationships, the kind that last decades, survive hard seasons, and come full circle in the most beautiful ways. In this episode, Wendy and Theresa dig into what separates leaders who last from those who burn out, why listening is the most underrated leadership skill, and how owning your mistakes can actually build more trust than never making them. Wendy also gets real about the loneliness of leadership, the danger of bitterness, and why the thank-yous you give should always outnumber the ones you receive. If you are leading a team, building a business, or just trying to figure out how to keep going when the going gets hard, this one is for you. Listen now and keep living on TheUPside.
