In this episode, I’m joined by Rev. Dr. B. Keith Haney, a pastor, author, podcast host, and advocate for unity and transformation within the church.

With more than 30 years of ministry experience, Dr. Haney brings a unique perspective shaped by pastoral leadership, multi-ethnic urban ministry, organizational transformation, and a deep commitment to reconciliation.

We explore the role faith communities can play in healing racial and cultural divides, why difficult conversations about race and justice can be challenging within the church, and how leaders can balance truth with grace.

Dr. Haney also shares insights from his newest book, Guided by Grace: A Narrative to Lead Organizational Change, which uses the story of a fictional church navigating declining attendance and resistance to change to provide practical lessons for leaders facing similar challenges.

We also discuss why the church needs new voices, how younger leaders can navigate today’s cultural and spiritual challenges, and what everyday believers can do to become bridge builders in their own communities.

This is a conversation about faith, leadership, reconciliation, organizational change, and the courage to build bridges when division feels easier.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nneka Oluoha, a Nigerian American internal medicine physician, novelist, and speaker.

Dr. Oluoha is the author of Live for Me, Nkem, a literary novel exploring depression, marriage, motherhood, family relationships, immigration, culture, and resilience.

We discuss the connection between physical and mental health, the hidden struggles behind outward success, and the ways culture and family expectations can shape how people understand and talk about emotional pain.

Dr. Oluoha also shares how growing up in Nigeria and later immigrating to the United States influenced her perspective on identity and belonging, and why she believes storytelling can create empathy and open conversations that people sometimes struggle to have directly.

This is a thoughtful conversation about mental health, medicine, culture, storytelling, and the importance of seeing the person behind the struggle.

Sometimes the story is what finally helps us understand what the statistics never could.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kenneth Chester, nationally syndicated automotive journalist, tech communicator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and CEO of TechMobility Productions.

Ken has spent more than 35 years building companies, many of them while maintaining a full-time job. His experiences led him to develop the ideas behind his 2026 book, Two-Hour Entrepreneur: Build a Real Business in Two Hours a Week.

We talk about why so many aspiring entrepreneurs never get started, why “finding time” may be the wrong problem to solve, and how busy professionals can use just two focused hours a week to make meaningful progress toward building a business.

Ken also shares lessons from his entrepreneurial journey, how to prioritize when time is limited, the importance of accountability, and how technology and AI are changing the entrepreneurial landscape.

If you’ve ever said, “I’d love to start a business, but I just don’t have the time,” this conversation will give you a new way to think about what’s possible.

Sometimes you don’t need more time—you need a better way to use the time you already have.

In this episode of Celia’s Corner, Jordan Robinson, founder of Anxin, explains why there’s such a significant gap between a food recall being issued and consumers actually finding out about it.

We discuss the “Transmission Gap,” how Anxin scans grocery receipts and tracks household inventory, why old recalls continue to circulate as new, how misinformation creates unnecessary panic, and how consumers can use restaurant health-inspection information to make safer choices.

Jordan also shares what it was like building Anxin as a solo founder and explains how technology can help families move from reactive food-safety awareness to proactive protection.

Because when it comes to what we put on our plates, knowing before you eat can make all the difference.
