  • Al Richards: Finding Light on the Other Side of Addiction

    Honored to sit down with Al Richards on my Beliefcast!

     

    Al is an Internationally Certified Crisis & Recovery Coach, host of The Other Side of Addiction Podcast, and Co-Founder of the Healing Utah Success Summit. His story isn’t just about surviving addiction, it’s about rising stronger through it.

     

    After losing a 24-year career, battling addiction, walking alongside a spouse struggling with alcoholism, enduring a below-the-knee amputation, and then losing his wife just weeks later… Al has lived through heartbreak that most couldn’t imagine.

     

    But through faith, resilience, and learning to harness his emotions, he discovered light in the darkest of places. Today, Al shares his journey to remind others that they are not alone and that transformation is possible no matter how far down they’ve gone.

     

    This conversation is filled with wisdom, lived experience, and powerful reminders of what it means to never give up.

  • Dr. Deonne Johnson

    Dr. Deonne Johnson is the definition of transformation. She has raised four amazing kids on her own, earned her PhD, climbed the corporate ladder, remodeled homes, and even dug trenches in Nepal. But the most powerful thing she has done is trade in a life of titles and checklists for one that’s aligned with her heart.

     

    Today, she’s a coach, speaker, author, and humanitarian helping people especially women navigating big transitions, turn their pain into purpose. Her new guided journal From Tired to Inspired is a beautiful tool for anyone ready to rise.

     

    Deonne reminds us all that growth happens the moment we step outside our comfort zone and choose a life that truly inspires us.  You are going to love her story.

    This week on the Beliefcast, I sit down with Dr. Amy Osmond Cook—a powerhouse CMO, co-founder of Fullcast, and visionary leader transforming how revenue teams plan, perform, and grow.

     

    With a Ph.D. in Communication, 15+ years scaling SaaS companies, and a passion for building systems that work with people (not around them), Amy has helped drive multi-million-dollar growth, led a historic $34M female-led seed round, and championed diversity in tech and women in executive leadership.

     

    But what truly sets Amy apart is her heart. She’s a bridge-builder—between people, performance, and purpose. Whether mentoring women in leadership, hosting her podcast Go-to-Market with Dr. Amy Cook, or balancing life as a wife, mother of five, and adjunct professor—Amy proves that balance is possible and impact is lasting.

     

    This conversation is for anyone ready to lead with intention, navigate change with courage, and build something that truly lasts.

    “Writing The Sound of Freedom was a journey through darkness into the light. Every page holds a piece of the fight for the innocent.” – Paul Hutchinson

     

    Paul Hutchinson is a visionary entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist who has dedicated his life to ending human trafficking and uplifting humanity across the globe.

     

    As the founder of the Child Liberation Foundation, Paul has led or helped fund over 70 undercover rescue missions in 15 countries, helping to liberate more than 7,000 children from exploitation and slavery. He is the real deal—a man of courage, compassion, and conviction.

     

    Paul is also the Executive Producer and primary investor behind the critically acclaimed film Sound of Freedom. His upcoming book, “The Sound of Freedom: True Stories that Inspired the Film” (releasing July 2025), offers a gripping look into the true events that inspired the movie. It’s not just a book—it’s a call to action.

He continues to inspire leaders, uplift survivors, and lead global change.
