Send us Fan Mail

In this powerful episode of Unspoken with Nick and Nick, former D1 basketball manager and current Kansas City mortgage leader Tanner Garver joins the crew to share his transformative journey from the sidelines of K-State and Wichita State to the front lines of intentional fatherhood. Tanner opens up about the "kick in the face" humility he learned wiping sweat and doing laundry for future NBA stars, the Tommy John surgery that ended his collegiate baseball dreams, and the faith-driven pivot that led him from a $28,000-a-year coaching path to a thriving mortgage career. The conversation dives deep into mental health and personal growth, specifically the life-changing impact of faith-based EMDR in overcoming pride and the critical mission of fixing fatherlessness by being a present dad during the pivotal "age 12" development window. Packed with insights on building a support system of "Matt Carriers," overcoming the "suck" of life’s non-linear changes, and the value of treating every connection as a person rather than a transaction, this episode is an essential guide for anyone balancing professional ambition with spiritual fulfillment and family legacy.
