This episode with Bryan, Kellen, and Thad dives deep with special guest Sean Copeland, former Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and founder of 94X Movement, exploring themes that hit home for men—insight, growth, connection, and ambition. It’s about recognizing that there’s always music playing, even if you can’t always hear it reminding us that value and opportunity exist in every moment. Gratitude takes center stage, proving that acknowledgment and appreciation aren’t signs of weakness but keys to stronger relationships and authentic leadership. 

The takeaways are clear in real engagement builds trust, reflection sharpens your edge, and personal experiences fuel both personal and professional success. Future goals drive present action, and communication done with purpose turns good conversations into powerful connections. In the end, it’s a reminder that the smartest moves in business and life come from staying grounded, grateful, and fully engaged.

In this episode, Bryan, Kellen and Thad get real about what men are up against in today’s world of distance learning, endless screen time, and fake online connection. It’s time to stop hiding behind devices and start showing up—in our families, our churches, and our communities. The guys break down how modern teaching methods, social media, and youth engagement are shaping how men lead, and what it really means to be present.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about purpose. It’s about men stepping up, leading with strength and honesty, and being the ones who build real relationships that push others forward. Whether you’re a pastor, a dad, a mentor, or just a guy trying to grow, this episode reminds you that spiritual growth starts with showing up and staying consistent.

 Real Talk .....

• Distance learning and screen time are killing real-world connection—step in and lead your kids through it.
• Building solid relationships is the difference between leading and losing.
• Pastors—if you’re not present, you’re not leading.
• Spiritual growth takes accountability, not comfort.
• Social media is a tool—use it with purpose, not pride.
• Adapt how you teach and mentor; today’s young men need relevance and truth.
• The church has to get real if it wants men to show up.
• The Bible isn’t optional—it’s the foundation for strong, grounded leadership.
• Community engagement isn’t charity—it’s brotherhood in action.

What happens when redemption, entrepreneurship, and leadership collide behind prison walls? Bryan, Kellen and Thad sit in an unforgettable episode spotlighting how Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt lent his influence to a powerful moment of transformation — when incarcerated men in the 1440 Promise program stepped into a “Shark Tank”-style pitch event to present business plans and declare their readiness to reenter society with strength and dignity.

In this episode:

• You’ll hear the origin story of 1440 Promise, a Christ-centered ministry helping men in prison discover purpose, develop life skills, and rebuild identity.
  1440 Promise
• We’ll reveal how Gov. Stitt showed up — as a judge, sponsor, or moral witness — bringing attention and legitimacy to this bold experiment in rehabilitation.
• Listen to the voices of the men: their hopes, stakes, and strategies as they pitch real business ideas in front of real decision-makers. 
• We explore the tension of faith plus entrepreneurship, the risks they faced in stepping into the spotlight, and the mission of giving more than second chances — giving equipped, grounded new leaders.
•  The governor touches on hot topics shaping Oklahoma today — from strengthening the school system and supporting local agriculture (including planting vegetables and community gardens) to promoting innovative ideas that empower communities statewide. 

Tune in if you believe transformation is more than redemption — it’s the work we build.

 In this episode, Bryan, Kellen, and Thad are joined by a special guest — the first female on the podcast, Debra Wimpee, Mayor of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Together, they dive deep into the real-world dynamics of modern leadership, personal image, and community influence through conversations that challenge perspectives and inspire action. 

We start at the gym, exploring how attire draws attention from both men and women, and the unspoken societal expectations placed on women in public spaces. From there, the discussion shifts to leadership, using the story of a female mayor to highlight the power of being approachable, relatable, and truly connected to the people you serve.

The conversation expands to address the unique challenges veterans face and the responsibility leaders have to honor and support them. We examine the delicate balance between personal appearance and professional presence, especially in a world where social media can shape public perception in seconds.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of intention—behind our actions, our image, and our leadership. Grace and compassion emerge as essential traits for anyone stepping into positions of influence.

The episode closes on a powerful note: the joy and fulfillment that comes from serving others and making a lasting positive impact in your community.

👉 Tune in for honest conversation, practical insights, and thought-provoking perspectives on what it truly means to lead with purpose in today’s world.

This discussion with Bryan, Kellen and Thad with special guest Sheriff Vic Regalado pulling no punches. It takes on the brutal truth that we’ve grown numb to violence and even celebrate it like entertainment. It calls out public figures who shape morality—sometimes for the worse—and exposes how social media has become a weapon against truth. But it doesn’t stop there. Real stories of men transformed by faith show how brokenness can be turned into strength. We dive into innovative prison reform, the power of knowing who you are, and the brotherhood found in real community. At its core, this is about fighting for humanity, leading with courage, and standing unashamed in your faith in a world that’s losing its grip on what matters.
