The Dave Dutra Story - Pro Wrestling, Family and Parenting - the Evolution of the Battle King

Dave Dutra is an Independent Professional Wrestler who started in the backyard and ended up in the spotlight.
A bay area native, Dave fell in love with wrestling as a young boy while spending weekends with his dad. As a teenager, he and his friends created a backyard wrestling group that would eventually rent time using the famous All Pro Wrestling "garage" for their shows. There he met Michael Modest and Vito Tomaselli. These two would become integral in starting his pro wrestling career at Pro Wrestling Iron.
Unfortunately, his time at Iron was short lived, and Dave eventually ended up finishing his training at All Pro Wrestling. He embarked on his career while also marrying his high school sweetheart Melissa along the way. They eventually made their way to Sacramento where Dave got his first opportunity to be a main eventer for SWF Wrestling. There he learned and grew as a professional, which catapulted him to the top of the card as a top draw in the area.
Since that time, Dave has worked for nearly every major company in pro wrestling, including WWE and All Elite Wrestling. He has appeared on WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and AEW Dark. He has wrestled some of the biggest names in wrestling and even shared the screen with the Rock while working as an extra for the WWE. He continues to wrestle on the independent circuit.
Dave comes on the podcast to discuss his journey. He talks about what it takes to make it, doing extra work for the WWE, his experience at AEW, his family life, prioritizing family and wrestling, and so much more.

The Mike Petterborg Story - From Addict to High Counselor - A Modern Day Prodigal Son

Mike Petterborg is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. However, he has not always been active, in fact quite the contrary. For 30 years he was a self described addict who enjoyed a biker lifestyle.
Mike grew up in Idaho Falls in Idaho with his parents. He stayed active in the church through high school, but a strained relationship with his father coupled with friends encouraging rebellious habits, drew him away from the gospel. He eventually joined the armed forces, which gave him a sense of belonging, but also drew him away from the church. He eventually joined a group of bikers, some of which were affiliated with the Hells Angels. He grew farther and farther into addiction, which also effected several relationships.
Hear the rest of the story. Hear how a family member invited him to attend church one week and that led to him coming back to the gospel, gaining a testimony, reconciling his past relationships, repentance and restoration.
This is nothing short of a modern day prodigal son story.

Sandy Phillips Kirkham - Grooming, Manipulation & Trauma - Breaking Free From Clergy Abuse

Sandy Phillips Kirkham is a wife, mother and grandmother. At age 16, she was victimized by a charismatic youth pastor who lured her into an abusive 5 year relationship. From their very first meeting, the new youth minister slowly and methodically turned the sacred relationship of a trusted spiritual leader to one of abuse: sexual, emotional, and physical.
When his actions were discovered, he was simply moved to another church, leaving Sandy to pay for his deeds. She was not his first victim, nor would she be his last. The trauma of the occurrence resulted in her feeling broken, betrayed and shamed.
Sandy successfully concealed her abuse for twenty-seven years until a trigger forced her to face the truth. Today she is an advocate for victims of "clergy abuse." She currently serves on the board of Council Against Child Abuse. She has appeared on several television stations, panels and podcasts to share her advocacy.
Her recent book "Let Me Prey On You" shares her story of trauma and healing in detail. Sandy comes on the podcast to share her story, the trauma and the healing. She also shares things to watch for, the signs of trauma in children and things church leaders and members can do to protect children from predators.
Ms. Kirkham's book "Let Me Prey Upon You" can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Let-Prey-Upon-You-Ministers/dp/1734195207
