Today, I'm thrilled to welcome a familiar face, especially for our listeners in North Alabama. For over 14 years, he's been your trusted source for weather updates on WHNT News ...19. That's right, it's meteorologist Ben Smith.
Ben was an early guest on the Mo Show, and I couldn't be more excited to have him back. But today, we're steering away from weather talk. Instead, we're diving into a different chapter of Ben's journey: his love for photography.
And let me tell you, Ben's photography story is truly something special. Just two years ago, he hadn't even held a professional camera. It all began with a spur-of-the-moment decision to attend a football game solo. Little did he know, that choice would alter the course of his life.
With a borrowed press pass and the cheapest camera he could find, Ben stepped onto the field and into uncharted territory. What followed was a crash course in Photography 101, filled with grainy shots and rookie blunders.
But Ben didn't give up. Week after week, he returned to the sidelines, refining his skills and capturing moments he never thought possible. What began as a simple outing turned into a life-changing passion, a journey filled with unexpected opportunities and blessings in disguise.
Join us as Ben shares the highs and lows of his journey that stems from what he now considers "one of the biggest blessings" of his life.[+] Show More

Children play sports because it’s fun. But there are tons of benefits to youth sports besides just enjoyment—making new friendships, learning how to communicate, building a sense of community, and ...becoming a team player are all important reasons why playing sports can help prepare kids for the real world.
However, approximately 70% of kids stop playing sports by age 13, says a poll from the National Alliance for Youth Sports. Why? Children usually drop out of youth sports once it no longer becomes fun.
That’s what we’re going to talk about today. I’m joined by a panel of three special guests: James Redmon Jr., Louis Whitlow, and Brian Gossett. They’re all three parents and coaches of youth sports team.[+] Show More
