What does it look like to pass down more than a name—to pass down a calling?

In this special Fatherhood Month episode of the Be a Baller Podcast, Coach Tim Brown sits down with Dion Drakeford and his son, Deondre Drakeford, two generations of educators and school leaders who have devoted their lives to serving students in Columbus City Schools. We discuss why education is one of the greatest forms of generational wealth and how faith, integrity, and service create a legacy that outlives you

From the music and memories that shaped their family to the moments that inspired each of them to pursue education, this father-son conversation explores the power of generational influence, servant leadership, and purposeful fatherhood. Dion shares how he knew in fourth grade he wanted to become a teacher, while Deondre reflects on watching his father connect with students and realizing that education could become his own calling.

Whether you're a father, educator, coach, mentor, or leader, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about the legacy you're building and the torch you're passing.

Because legacy isn't what you leave behind someday—it's what you're living today.
