Shaniece M. Wise, certified business expansion coach, minister, and best-selling author sits down with Coach Tim Brown in this power-packed episode of the Be a Baller Podcast, to unpack how purpose, profit, and prayer can thrive under the same roof.

From a childhood grounded in family, education, and service, to coaching CEOs and scaling companies across multiple industries, Shaniece shares a clear, energizing blueprint for building a business that outlives its founder.

Faith is the operating system in Shaniece’s world. She opens up about the heart behind her 30-day devotional for entrepreneurs—each day pairing scripture, affirmation, prayer, and a specific business action to fuel both spiritual and operational alignment. Tim and Shaniece explore practical ways to pray over your operations, finances, team, and opportunities while keeping spiritual eyes open for divinely aligned doors.

You’ll also hear the inspiring origin story of her Unstoppable Community—a movement for entrepreneurs who keep pushing after setbacks through real accountability, structure, and shared momentum.

Together, they dig into the hard-won lessons of sustainable scaling:
• Hire help sooner than feels comfortable
• Document systems so the business runs without you
• Protect the CEO’s most valuable asset—time
• Trust the 90-day compounding method
• And use the integrity filter: “All money isn’t good money.”

Shaniece breaks down why identifying your ideal client protects culture, margins, and mission—and how to walk boldly in your calling without compromising character.

If you’re wrestling with growing beyond six figures, craving clarity about your assignment, or ready to build a legacy rooted in integrity and faith, this conversation will sharpen your focus and lift your spirit.

Coach Tim Brown and his wife Karmen 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.

From the South Side of Columbus to the Chief’s Office, Sgt. James Fuqua has built a life around service, mentorship, and faith. In this powerful Be a Baller: Building a Lifelong Legacy conversation, Coach Tim sits down with Sgt. Fuqua to explore what it really means to lead with integrity—on and off duty.

We trace his path from Columbus South High School to the U.S. Army, and into a career with the Columbus Division of Police, where he’s served in patrol, recruiting, and the gang unit before joining the Chief’s office. Through every role, his message stays consistent: the most important tool isn’t on your belt—it’s your mouth.

Sgt. Fuqua reminds us that leadership isn’t about rank—it’s about presence, humility, and the courage to listen first. His story is a call to live with compassion, build bridges, and lead with faith that outlasts the uniform. Learn how he builds trust, trains officers, and leads with heart—while staying grounded in faith and community.
