Episode Synopsis

Send us a comment about the Be a Baller Podcast Episode. Thanks for support. Coach Tim Brown and his wife Karmen Fields-Brown join us for a special Be A Baller Podcast -  Next Up Ballers crossover to unpack how a girls’ basketball program, a van full of athletes, and a whole lot of faith grew into a movement that equips families, schools, and churches. From the first seeds they planted to the stories that now span generations, they show how purpose turns small acts into lasting change. Tim and Karmen believe legacy isn’t a trophy but a trail you leave in people’s lives?We dig into the true origin of Be A Baller, the TAKE/ABC vision, and why talent without values drifts. Karmen shares her roots in a tight-knit community where church and family set the rhythm, while Tim credits a sixth-grade teacher whose standard of excellence reoriented his life. Together they lay out a simple framework: faith as the foundation, family as the first ministry, and community as the multiplier. The conversation tracks their COVID-era pivot into podcasting, guests who were ready to be heard, and the consistency that keeps people coming back.If you’re a parent, coach, teacher, or young leader, you’ll hear direct, practical wisdom: write a vision you can live by, guard it when life gets loud, and make your legacy in the everyday reps—showing up consistently , speaking kind words, and offering real opportunities. You cannot be what you cannot see, so model what you want multiplied. We close with two simple challenges you can do this week to move your legacy from idea to action.Enjoyed the conversation?
