  • Shane Jacob: on Finding Faith and Freedom Through Stable Living /Ep 4181

    Meet Shane Jacob. Shane's feelings of inadequacy as a young adult led to drinking alcohol to excess on a regular basis. His excessive drinking led to a tragic DUI accident which led to incarnation. The cycle continued... He failed in business, failed in marriages, destroyed relationships, was overweight 40+ pounds, and was so disgusted and ashamed of himself, he lied and tried to hide from it all for years. With the help of horses and God's hand, he finally broke free. Shane took the process and principles he used to turn his life around, combined with what he learned from his career working with horses to create Stable Living Coaching where he helps parents and teens with the challenges they face in today's world.

  • James Brown: Three Proofs of God: Bridging Faith, Prophecy, and Reason /Ep 4180

    James Brown's rigorous approach to faith and science delivers a breakthrough in our understanding of the Bible. His book Three Proofs of God presents a literal and verifiable solution to an enigmatic prophecy found in the Book of Daniel.

    A career chemist, James applies a scientific approach to the Bible. This was shaped by a lifetime of seeking to answer the key question: "How can we really know?"

    The solution in Three Proofs of God to Daniel's prophecy, which foretold key events from the Nativity to Palm Sunday and beyond, is crafted to withstand the highest levels of critical scrutiny. Brown's solution has received positive feedback from theologians and laymen alike.

    James is also an active member of the American Scientific Affiliation and volunteers with Ratio Christi, a Christian apologetics group that engages university students in meaningful discussions about faith and reason.

    James' work appeals to Christians deeply invested in scripture as well as to open minded academics, scientists, and historians intrigued by the intersection of faith and evidence.

    About the book:

    Three Proofs of God is:

    • New proof of God
    • Evidence-based
    • Objectively verifiable

    "The solution provided in the book makes intuitive sense and is exciting in that it ties together a broader range of Biblical history and revelation." -Sanjay Merchant, PhD, Professor of Theology, Moody Bible Institute

    Jesus referred to a passage from the prophet Daniel that has puzzled people for 2,600 years. Daniel himself wrote that we wouldn't fully grasp it until "the end time."

    Three Proofs of God presents a much deeper, precise, and verifiable solution to Daniel's 2,600-year-old mystery than ever presented before.

  • Anthony Goldner: The Buffalo-Eagle Mindset and the Infinity Model for Whole-Life Success /Ep 4174

    Anthony's journey is a testament to the power of integrated growth. As an 11+ year veteran of law enforcement and a 4+ year K9 handler, he's faced high-pressure situations demanding peak performance. This career honed his understanding of mindset, leadership, and supervision. But Anthony's pursuit of excellence didn't stop there. He recognized the interconnectedness of life's pillars, much like 'The Infinity Model' illustrates.

    He delved into the world of health and wellness, fueled by a personal mission. Witnessing his family's struggle with diabetes and cancer ignited a passion for fitness and nutrition. Anthony was trained as a NASM Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator and earned certificates from Precision Nutrition. Beyond the badge and the gym, Anthony is an entrepreneur at heart. A graduate of California State University of Northridge with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, he's immersed himself in the world of money and investing. From building real estate and coaching companies, he understands that true freedom requires financial literacy and the ability to build wealth. Anthony's story is about more than just individual achievements. It's about recognizing the "animal" within, channeling its power, and striving for balance. Perhaps it's the creativity and passion of the Bear that drives his innovative approach to coaching, the determination of the Buffalo in his professional pursuits, the leadership of the Lion in guiding others, or the focus and perspective of the Eagle in maintaining his vitality.

    He prepares, plans, and expects success, not just for himself, but for those he coaches.

  • Neelmani Bagaria: From Caterpillar to Butterfly: Embracing Growth, Purpose, and Possibility /Ep 4173

    "In middle school, my grades started dropping, but I felt I was ahead of my peers in cognition, quickly figured out the ed system is using an incorrect yardstick to measure my calibre. Fast forward to high school, I realised, I need to figure out other ways to portray my calibre, which is when I co-created a digital medical assistant that organised medical records when I was 14, for which a doctor with an entrepreneurial side, tried to Acqui-hire me.

    I then worked with a non-profit that taught people to crochet, whose community I leveraged to collect cloth to convert to baby blankets, which we donated to orphans.

    After that I had a stint of multiple virtual case-study based internships with investment banks like Citi APAC, JP Morgan, Goodbody, HSBC, etc.

    I then enrolled in UoL's BSc. Finance, which I have been dropping in and out of. In this period, I have also attended multiple fintech related events like global fintech fest, Singapore fintech fest etc, and have been on panels around teen entrepreneurship.

    I have also had the privilege to travel the world and visit multiple countries."
