  • The God Sized Hole Success Couldn’t Fill
    Jun 7 2026
    In today’s episode, I sit down for a candid conversation about the lessons that shaped my life, from growing up in a single-parent household and chasing financial success to losing everything in 2008 and rebuilding with a new perspective. I share how my mother, wife, and closest friends helped me recognize the difference between achievement and fulfillment, why scarcity thinking held me back, and how faith changed the way I approach business and life. We also talk about mentorship, coaching, personal accountability, the power of consistency, and how raising your awareness can help you recognize opportunities, overcome setbacks, and pursue your true potential.

  • Why Success Starts Small
    Jun 6 2026
    In this episode, I remind you that the biggest results in life come from doing great things while they’re still small. Small actions and consistent habits aggregate, accelerate, and compound into extraordinary outcomes. I talk about becoming a student of your calendar, creating non-negotiable behaviors around sleep, health, family, faith, and finances, and why attachment to timing creates resistance. Real growth happens when you stay devoted before the evidence appears. Most importantly, I discuss the power of humility, faith, and consistency. When you stay aligned with where you want to be or better and keep showing up every day, you create more opportunities, options, and touches of favor in your life.

  • Why Presence Changes Everything
    Jun 5 2026
    In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, and bestselling author Stephen Scoggins to talk about identity, leadership, and the personal growth that comes from facing hard truths. We discuss why vulnerability creates stronger connections, the difference between authenticity and living from your essence, and how the words “I am” can reshape the way you approach success. Stephen shares lessons from homelessness, business growth, and life after a major exit, while I offer practical frameworks for building trust, evaluating relationships, managing time, and creating a life rooted in purpose rather than hustle. Together, we explore service, devotion, presence, and what it means to become who you’re meant to be.
