Owners of James landscaping will help you to think like a contractor and make every aspect of your home an investment not an expense now here's your hosts of the build stores John and Derek Welcome back everybody episode 20 of the builders podcast My name is John. Has gone to a special episode today we are the branch and I'll do a little bit of partnerships with some non-profits our main one is strike out for a cause headed up by Terrence Tucker thanks for coming on Terence pleasure thanks for having us on this beautiful Friday. And we've got special guest gave goes to one of the main ambassadors to strike up for a cousin and someone we plan on working with quite a bit over the next few years so thanks for coming on gave me. So let's get in to strike up for a cause a little bit and I guess we can kind of start with kind of your background where you came from and why I started. Well Terrence from San Diego you know a long time fan and just so happy to have the opportunity to work for them since I was 17 years old which is a long time 17 years to be exact actually And as we go in his journey of like who we are why we do what we do you know. I got sucked into. Allowing my job to define who I am and why do you like this is really me you know it's taking away my joy a waking up thinking about what I need to do and what I have to do and I lost excited about my job as a job at the time I was working in the clubhouse as a bad boy Ok And for those who know it's a pretty cool job and for those who also know a dream to of I mean you know yeah I thought so I was in awe as a 17 year old kid walking into the locker room and get into rub elbows literally rub elbows with some of our favorite ballplayers and as the years went on I realized my role you know as a club boss of tennis I was serving others and I bought into it it's it's given me so much joy not just monetary but non-monetary with relationships and community and people and just learning from successful athletes things that help them along their journey but as we got through this whole you know 17 year process I got sucked into I couldn't turn it off you know I can't turn the switch off and every evaluative you know that the fact that there's no job to define who you are despite the dream behind it despite the money that goes with it because it's us that makes it pretty be perceived that way. And that's kind of how strikeout for a cause came about because the guy to my left gave really almost forced me to see literally about put in the canvas or for my face a what my job meant to him. And also I damn like it's pretty deep you know someone who doesn't really know me knows more about me than I did based on a job so tell me about that what was what was that moment. Gave you want to get into your backstory a little bit and how you and your auntie connected of course you seem to go boys well join the military young age 17 year old I'll. 2003. 2 years into. 2 years post 911 and. I made a decision to. Put in the pot give back to my country and. Served about 8 years and. Found Terrence doing his dream job he says. Oh I was down and out of my luck no job homeless and. I relied on my my resume to get me in as a as a security guard attendant but the parking lot at the pub just had you know this is at the end like I said or I thought I might actually I don't want to affiliate of the project and. Yeah from there on. Terence and I. Kept our distance for a while. I guess I was I was I was coming off of the military trying to learn how to decompress and how did leave the warrior mentality behind and pick up the. Father has been and the things that I had been. Yelling at them but I had to kind of put them on they're gone for a while they're actually going to melt that was what I was doing deployments and I was going on you know and that's the secretary that I had to put forth but you crossed paths. Were the projects nice. So that Senator Boren and then you guys met and you invited him out to one of the games right or what was that program that yes I go on yeah so he doesn't do himself justice because this guy. You know I didn't know he was a vet I don't know much about him other than he was willing to help me serve in my way I don't ask many people for help because sometimes the help that I need is almost beneath most people's will you know willingness to do the talking about the end from the outside perspective my job is the dream job and you guys seen the locker room you know I've seen it it's not prestigious in and it's any sense but there's a value to being around that environment so the things that I need for help are as simple as hey you see that stack of towels I need you to fold those towels and it sounds so silly to say it out loud because we're adults that are homeowners that have kids and yet the help that I'm seeking for vet from a vet is for him to do something that seems beneath us so that kind of explains why I don't really ask for help because I know how special those little things are for me as we serve others so when I I was in need of someone to literally help me bringing groceries from my car into the locker room to serve these players food I ask a. Anger didn't hesitate he didn't question it it was like almost like a natural instinct in a sense it was like I got a task I got help I don't care how big how small he literally helped me from there on out with anything I needed to help others I mean anything I didn't question his integrity words coming from because that that day when he was willing to bring up groceries for my car a grown man helping me bring out groceries for my car. And made too much sense that this is the guy who buys into giving to others. Fast $40.00 in 15 there was a classic. 16 I've had the privilege really to work every 3 to 4 years with Major League Baseball in the World Baseball Classic site the Olympics for baseball for professional sports you know get us a Dominican you know Venezuela team Mexico all come together and do what they do best and of course they need someone to provide a service behind the scenes to do what we do best and I needed some guys that I can count on trust to provide excellent service for these athletes and I go through my phone might we're going to get lucky today right this is pretty cool experience I literally have 65 people my contactless right give or take I can call anybody and I scroll down one check marquees and to check mark he's of course 3 he doesn't answer his bad 4th. Day guy goes. Again I'm not surprised with 80 hesitation on their i need take a drug test I need to get a background check I need you to drop everything in anything you planned yesterday for me tomorrow for 7 days straight no questions asked I need you no matter how small the job this and those jobs are small. But then a day where you can go more detail about the World Baseball Classic experience it was so here and send your pet go at the stadium but again Little did anybody or to our Terence's knowledge I was fighting suicide I was I was suicidal at that time as a common. I was a machine gunner for the Marine Corps at the age of 18 I enlisted at 17. So. That dream job that he talks about and those small minute details that he Times talks about me being a bit. Beneath people was exactly what I needed to be going back to. The Earth. Duty though I had to leave my position where I was. At that point to work myself up to secure a consultant but I had to leave that position due to my elements the injuries that sustained and the trials and tribulations I had encountered as a young man. So what that experience new for me was it taught me that there is compassion. Within our humanity if you were to show up you got to show up and that experience was exactly like I needed it it made me. We're going to dog and that was great that's what I needed I mean that's why that's what the military does for you right you have to work from sunup to sundown sometimes 247. For 6 months at a time there's no break I think we ended up putting about 90 hours out that week. Leaving leaving work around 3 in the morning getting that 6 in the morning and leaving at 3 in the morning was for me exciting and also most people would not want to do anything like that I mean they would I don't know but. For me it was like I said it was somebody because I was I was getting on my route I was I was going to go to this day and every day I battle. You know suicide thoughts and depression and and a bunch of things that stem from pulling the trigger at a young age and. It made me rub elbows with other humans that. I would never rub elbows with but. It gave me. A perspective that I will carry with me into the day I die which is why I will stick with Terrence. To day I'm Dad I think it's I mean what you said about just showing up as superpowerful because especially everything that you've gone through and are going through I mean just showing up as what keeps everything moving and keeps everything kind of pushing forward you never know what could what happens when you when you just show up and before we can get into how we met and how everything kind of started what was the inception of striking out for a cause so that when you had this will be a small class a great experience gave me another plug into that story in a 2nd here but when did this the organization itself actually like you said we're going to do this this is no an organization we have a mission we're going to get this all kicked off I'm going it wasn't too. Far after this experience you know because as we're battling all our y. You know providing for our families and you know responsibilities in this life in general. This guy 3 months later 3 months later 3 months later. You know it comes back it reaches back out to to thank me like you know like you know me you know I needed to provide a job for my my my my team my country would everyone call it and you were there you know people came to me. Put together a great team that gave. You know players around the league you know and as you know there's so many people that benefited from him showing up and made me look good. Even expected I just needed somebody to show up and do a job and. Surely after that 3 months later just like everyone else they shoot me an. Email or they write me a gift card or buy me a hat you know whatever it is to say their things and I was like us kind of numb. Kind of embarrassing to admit that. I'm like I'm used to getting like thank you things that to me don't mean as much because I don't need money or I don't really I do appreciate it don't have it wrong I'm very thankful for those gifts and means a lot but 3 months later gave brought me more than something he could buy like he took the time to put together a canvas and write a letter to remind me how special the things that I get to do every day are for other people to myself in my own family and when he wrote that letter and I read it and you know we shared together that moment he doesn't he may believe me but I don't think he quite understands like how significant that really was in my life hit the crossroads of well what are we going to do what's next move you know what's in the next move. Or in this sense I knew the next move is that disconsolate which is serving those who serve us. Painted for a while we play it forward has to come to fruition where we put together something you know substantial and concrete legit to do more for others so you know I got I got to dig into my brain in my contacts and who really want to hear my craziness and that's when Joe Jennings you know my best friend. Him to show up to say what's the next step in. Volved in. Here today. Initially because. We were no longer. Create something that we believe in to.
