The Journey of My Mother"s Son

My name is Dan Clouser. I am a podcast host, author and a speaker. I founded and ran a nonprofit youth sports organization for 30 years called the Berkshire Baseball & Softball Club, which later became the BIG Vision Foundation. We ran teams, tournaments and a 130 acre sports complex. I loved every second of what I did. I loved working with kids and teaching them leadership skills and life lessons through sports and community service. I thought that I would have died doing what I loved. Then in

Have you ever gotten that pit inside your stomach when your spouse or a good friend walks into the room and says to you, "Hey, sit down a second, we need to talk?" We've all been there. The uncomfortable conversation that we all try to avoid and hope that it will take care of itself with no effort from us. Well America, that's where we are today. As a society, we need to talk, and what we need to talk about is systemic racism in America. We've all tried our best to ignore it and hope that it would

In this week's episode of The Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I was fortunate to sit down with Ella Witman. Ella is only 12 years old, soon to be 13, but people of all ages should be inspired by her story.

I've known Jeff Potter for over 12 years now. We first met when he published his first book, "Whatever Happened to Baseball." We share the same philosophy of teaching life lessons through the game of baseball.

On August 1, 1994, I had the opportunity to coach against the Colorado Silver Bullets, a women’s professional baseball team that was sponsored by the Coors Brewing Company.
