What does true resilience look like? In one of our most powerful episodes to date, we sit down with Baylor wide receiver Josh Cameron and his mother Andrea for a conversation that transcends football, touching on faith, family, and facing life-threatening challenges.

Josh's journey from Cedar Park High School to Baylor began as a preferred walk-on, fighting for a place on special teams before earning his scholarship through relentless determination. Now ranked among college football's top 150 players and recognized as a Second Team All-American returner, Josh shares his unique perspective on navigating college athletics in the NIL era. Rather than chasing flashy purchases, this remarkable young man discusses his focus on investment strategies and "keeping the main thing the main thing."

But the heart of this episode belongs to Andrea Cameron, whose story left us speechless. Diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2007 and given just 2-3 years to live, Andrea defied medical expectations for 14 years before receiving a double lung transplant in December 2023. Just weeks later, she suffered cardiac arrest for nearly 20 minutes – a condition with a 99% mortality rate. Against overwhelming odds, she survived, then fought through the grueling process of relearning to walk and talk with one powerful motivation: "I'm not going to miss my baby's games." Not only did she make it to Josh's first game, but she attended every single one last season as Baylor's beloved team mom.

The Cameron family exemplifies how faith and familial bonds provide strength during life's most challenging moments. Their story might just be the perspective shift you need right now – if Andrea can relearn to walk to support her son, what obstacles are truly insurmountable in your life? Listen, share, and be inspired by this extraordinary mother-son duo.
