The AND Campaign

This week’s guests on the No Longer Neighbors podcast are Dr. Vonni Gant and Dameon Madison from The AND Campaign. Have you ever felt too progressive for conservatives, but too conservative for progressives? The AND Campaign encourages everyone to engage in the political process with both love and truth while making all decisions from a Biblical framework.

No Longer Neighbors Podcast

Aaron Arruda and I started a podcast in June. As you can probably tell from the title, we used to live next door to each other. The show is available on most platforms, including:

Apple Podcasts
iHeartRadio
Spotify
Podchaser
Podbean
RadioPublic

New episodes drop every Friday. Topics are wide-ranging, including sports, faith, politics, business, and food. To sum it up, we talk about stuff that interests us. It's good adult conversation.

Streaming Solutions for High School Sports

I'm serving as the "Texas Ambassador" for BlueFrame Technology. The company rendered excellent products and services as the streaming provider for the Southland Conference during my time with the league, so I'm excited to continue my association with BlueFrame in this new role.

My primary objective is to add additional schools to the TAPPS TV Network. This service began as the solely the home of TAPPS championship events, but is now being expanded to include content produced by member schools. In addition to access to the awesome Production Truck software, joining the network allows members to stream their programming to the TAPPS apps. The apps are available on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, iPhone, Android, and other devices. TAPPS members can learn more via this PDF sheet. Contact me with questions.

There are also opportunities for UIL schools and small colleges to create their own networks. You can see a sample of pricing here. Again, reach out to me and we'll talk about your needs.

Major League BotBall

Aaron Arruda and Chris Mycoskie start with a lengthy discussion on the biggest news items of the week, including the Washington NFL team finally dropping its controversial nickname (3:30), President Trump serving as a pitchman for Goya Foods after some called for a boycott (14:24), a massive Twitter hack that compromised verified accounts (20:29), and the return of the Ford Bronco (26:24).

Aaron and Chris welcome in three guests from the Major League BotBall community (34:50): Eric Garment, Mark Colley, and Justin Rocke. With the real MLB shutting down in March, Gerrit Hall had an idea to simulate each team’s 162-game season and stream games on Twitch. What makes this different and special is the fact that MLBotBall uses live broadcasters. Some are pros like Justin and Chris, others are aspiring to do it as a career, while a good number have little or no experience. They just love baseball. Plus, there’s an active community with fans serving as their favorite ballclubs’ general managers.


The actual MLB season begins next week, but there won’t be fans in the stands. That means no road trips to ballgames (1:22:57). And for a lot of people, this has been a summer without vacations due to COVID-19. It put a halt to Chris and his wife Cassie’s journey to visit all 50 states (1:29:55).

Cancer, Stillbirth

We're sharing our experiences with family tragedies that took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, Aaron Arruda talks about his wife Alicia's pancreatic cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery (4:17). That's followed by Chris Mycoskie discussing how his daughter Grace was stillborn in May, plus his wife Cassie's life was in danger (42:42).

Social Media for Small Business

We begin the Independence Day edition of No Longer Neighbors with mask talk before Kyle Draper pops on (10:15). He takes us through the principles he preaches as a social media coach, including fixing your mindset (14:01), identifying your audience, video-video-video (16:40), and content compounding (19:25). Who influences his approach (33:15)? To close things out, we discuss Aaron’s obsession with buying new cars (38:28).
