In this episode of the ASQ Podcast, we sit down with Kenneth Webb, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who spent 33 years in service with combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo. His story is not only about leadership under fire, but also about survival from childhood trauma and the lifelong journey of finding meaning after years defined by conflict.

Ken shares the powerful lessons he’s carried from the battlefield into everyday life: resilience, mental toughness, and the courage to rebuild a future when the world no longer makes sense. Now living in Peru, Ken is working on his debut psychological thriller Trapped in Deception, a novel rooted in raw truth about betrayal, manipulation, and the emotional battles so many face silently.

This episode explores:

If you’ve ever faced betrayal, carried the weight of leadership, or struggled to start over, Ken’s story will inspire you to step into your own transformation with courage and humility.

In this soul-awakening episode of the ASQ Podcast, we welcome Alan Lazaros—Founder and CEO of Next Level University, a globally ranked Top 100 Podcast with over 2,100 episodes and listeners in more than 180 countries.

Alan’s story begins with the sudden loss of his father at age 2 and a life-altering accident at age 26. On the surface, he had “made it.” But inwardly, he was battling abandonment wounds, disillusionment, and the crushing emptiness of misaligned success. What followed was a decade-long quest through personal development, podcasting, and soul-level healing.

You’ll hear how Alan transformed pain into purpose, developed a "no BS but all heart" leadership style, and built a thriving global coaching platform focused on helping people reach their Next Level in Health, Wealth, and Love.

Are you struggling to show up for your family without losing yourself in the process? In this episode of the ASQ Podcast, co-hosts Jessie and Omar explore the difficult—but—necessary — task of setting boundaries while still being present for those we love.

This conversation is for individuals navigating life transitions who feel stretched thin by emotional expectations, cultural pressure, and spiritual values that may conflict with self-preservation. We break down the difference between love and obligation, explain why guilt is not a moral compass, and share how to protect your energy without abandoning your compassion.

In this episode of the ASQ Podcast, today we explore a cultural shift that’s left many stuck: the transformation of trauma into identity. As more people seek healing, some have inadvertently made pain a permanent home, rather than a passage to their deeper purpose.

We ask:

We’re not here to minimize pain, we honor it. But we also believe that trauma, when properly integrated, can become a sacred portal to wisdom, compassion, and radical self-leadership.

Drawing from archetypes, psychology, and lived experience, this episode is a powerful reminder: you are not what happened to you. You are what you create from it.
