Welcome to Tell Me Your Story with Chris Baker Jr., a podcast built around one powerful idea: everyone has a story worth hearing.

In a world full of noise, this show slows things down and focuses on what really matters—real people, real lives, and real stories.

Host Chris Baker Jr. sits down with guests from all walks of life to uncover the journeys that shaped them. From moments of triumph and resilience to faith, purpose, and personal transformation, each episode reveals the human experiences that connect us all.

These aren’t scripted interviews or celebrity headlines. They’re honest conversations with everyday people who have faced challenges, discovered strength, and found meaning in their journey.

Some stories will inspire you.
Some will challenge you.
Some will remind you that you’re not alone.

But every story leaves a mark.

Whether you’re searching for encouragement, inspiration, or simply a reminder that every life has value, Tell Me Your Story invites you to listen, reflect, and maybe even see your own journey in a new light.

Because the truth is… your story might be the one someone else needs to hear.Copyright Chris Baker Jr. Ciencias Sociales

  • The Story of Larry Thompson

    The Story of Larry Thompson
    Mar 11 2026
    Some stories don’t just deserve to be told — they deserve to be remembered.

    On this episode of Tell Me Your Story, I honor the life of Larry Thompson, a man whose journey started in Norwalk, Ohio and was defined by grit, humor, and an unbreakable will to keep moving forward.

    Larry was the kind of person who didn’t wait around for life to hand him opportunities. At just 15 years old, he made the decision to stand on his own feet and carve out his own path. No safety nets. No shortcuts. Just hard work, determination, and a spirit that refused to quit.

    The thing about people like Larry is they don’t always make headlines — but they leave fingerprints everywhere they go. In the lives they touch. In the laughter they share. In the courage they show when life gets hard.

    And Larry showed that courage until the very end.

    This episode is more than a conversation.
    It’s a tribute to resilience.
    A reminder that ordinary people often carry extraordinary strength.
    And proof that a life lived with grit and heart can inspire more people than we may ever know.

    If you believe every person has a story worth hearing, this one will stay with you.

    Because sometimes the most powerful legacies come from the quiet warriors among us.

  • The Story of Kenny Smith

    The Story of Kenny Smith
    Mar 11 2026
    On this episode of Tell Me Your Story, host Chris Baker Jr. sits down with a man whose life proves that where you start does not determine where you finish.

    Growing up in South Akron, Ohio, Kenny “Jo-Jo” Smith learned early that the court was more than a place to play basketball — it was a classroom for life. Surrounded by the rhythm of bouncing balls, squeaking sneakers, and a neighborhood built on mentorship and community, Kenny watched his father lead by example — not just as a player, but as a man who poured back into the people around him.

    That example lit a fire that never went out.

    Today, Kenny “Jo-Jo” Smith has transformed that same passion into a powerful mission. He’s an author, speaker, behavioral expert, educator, and mentor dedicated to helping people unlock the strength they didn’t know they had. Whether he’s shaping young minds in the classroom, coaching youth in his community, or challenging readers through his writing, Kenny has one goal:

    Help people turn their struggles into purpose.

    This conversation dives deep into:

    🏀 Growing up in South Akron
    📚 The power of mentorship and community
    💡 Turning life lessons into leadership
    🔥 Finding purpose beyond the game
    ❤️ And why listening might be the most powerful skill we have

    Kenny’s journey reminds us of something we all need to hear:

    Your circumstances may shape you, but they don’t get to define you.

    Lean in and listen to a story about resilience, purpose, and the power of lifting others as you rise.

    Because here on Tell Me Your Story, we believe the most powerful voices in the world are often the ones you haven't heard yet.

  • The Story of Deonte Carter

    The Story of Deonte Carter
    Mar 11 2026
    In this powerful episode of Tell Me Your Story, host Chris Baker Jr. sits down with a man whose life proves what happens when grit meets grace.

    From the battlefields of Iraq as a United States Marine, to continuing his service in the U.S. Army, Deonte Carter answered the call to serve in places most of us will never see. Two branches of the military. Two honorable discharges. One relentless commitment to showing up when it matters most.

    But the uniform wasn’t the end of his mission.

    After military service, Deonte stepped into another frontline — the fight for people who feel forgotten. As a Victim Advocate and DEI Community Outreach Coordinator with COMPASS Rape Crisis, he now stands beside survivors, veterans, foster youth, and vulnerable communities, giving a voice to those the world often overlooks.

    And here’s what makes his story even more powerful:

    Deonte didn’t come from comfort.
    He came from the foster care system.

    Instead of letting his past define him, he transformed it into purpose. Today he holds degrees in Human & Social Services and Psychology, and he’s preparing to take the next step at Kent State University, pursuing a Master’s in Counseling — all driven by one mission: helping others heal.

    This episode isn’t just inspiring.
    It’s a reminder that your past doesn’t disqualify you.

    It prepares you.

    If you’ve ever wondered how someone turns pain into purpose, this conversation will stay with you.

    Listen now to the incredible story of Deonte Carter.
