Humility and Ability
An engaging and fascinating conversation with Mark Curp, one of the finest distance runners of his generation. The native of tiny Polo, MO became a standout by his mid-teens, and exceeded small town expectations all along the way to become a world record holder and a member of numerous Halls of Fame. All the while maintaining a humble attutude and life of faith, and in his post racing career devoted himself to family and service to others. A warm and enjoyable chat!
Fairways for a Lifetime
A fascinating tribute in his own words with golfer, businessman, and Kansas State icon Jim Colbert, who passed away last weekend at 85. The Kansas City native went to K-State on a football scholarship, but injuries changed his path to golf and a standout career with eight PGA tour and twenty Senior tour wins. He was a success off the course as well, in golf course development and broadcasting. Originally presented in two parts, this over two-hour conversation is engaging, inspiring and full of a lifetime of memories.
Genial Achiever
A delightful conversation with Martin Rucker, the Mizzou All American tight end and Hall of Famer. The St. Joseph native was a multi-sport high school star, a college All-American, and a five year pro before a successful move into the business world. Faith, family, football, politics, and more in a smile-filled conversation to enjoy!
Leaving a Giant Vacuum
An era ended but a legacy remains after Pter Vermes and Sporting KC parted ways this week. A small part of that was the absolutely fascinating, funny, and riveting Profiles ever. Over two parts back then, but combined into one here. Peter tells his own story in his uniquely forthright and engrossing way. Truly a gem to enjoy!
Camps, Champs, and Life Lessons
Catchin up with the legendary KC area basketball coach, who is the organizer along with his former player Christian Braun of next week's Champ Camp.

Engrossing and entertaining basketball and life talk with a smile! For camp details and registration visit coachedfritz@gmail.com
Relentless Inspiration
A remarkable conversation with the former Southwest Missouri State and WNBA star. A prodigy from an early age in Claflin, KS., Jackie's relentless drive and outsized talent made her a sensation, and allowed her to overcome numerous challenges in her playing, coaching, and professional career. Truly captivating and inspirational!
