Total Focus Podcast E88 With Amber Carroll

November 15, 2021

Guest Of The Week

Amber Carroll

Originally from Nashville, Tenn., Amber Lynn Carroll is married to professional athlete Cody Carroll. She’s an avid traveler and sports fan! Amber is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a degree in sports journalism and is also a Certified Life Counselor.
Amber began her career working as a sports broadcast journalist and stands with years of experience as an anchor and field reporter. She now is a co-host of her very own Talk Show, The Better Half.
Her passion for storytelling brought her to life coaching, where she helps others discover their life stories.
Another deeply personal and core aspect of Amber’s story is the non-profit organization she and her husband, alongside her parents, created in memory of her brother, Jake, who lost his life to suicide. After experiencing that tragic loss, Amber became a mental health awareness and suicide prevention advocate. Her non-profit, We Are Team Jake, focuses on telling her brother’s story as a way to end the stigma and empower others who are struggling to give voice to their pain and to know they are not alone.

Total Focus Podcast E77 With Patty Markos

February 18, 2021

Guest Of The Week

Patty Markos

Is the owner of The Patio Salon in Olney, Maryland where she specializes in Natural Beaded Row hair extensions. She is also Mrs. Maryland America 2006.

Patty opened the salon in her home to be close to her children in the year 2000. Six years later, while pursuing acting, she met the director of the Mrs. Maryland America pageant, Laurett Ellsworth Arenz while at a photo shoot. With heart disease as her platform, Patty was all in because heart disease is rampant on both sides of her family.

However, as Patty’s daughter Elaina grew, it became evident that her platform should have been dyslexia. This was what Patty fought for for the next 12 years of her life. Even now as her daughter is a senior in high school, she is still fighting for Elaina to get the education she deserves.
