After analyzing more than 100,000 recorded business calls, Tom discovered that customer interactions are rarely just about products, policies, or solving problems. They reveal fear, trust, frustration, loneliness, leadership, and the deep human need to feel heard.
In this insightful conversation, Tom joins I Am Refocused Radio to discuss what corporate America taught him about human behavior, how trust is built or broken in a matter of moments, and why listening may be one of the most powerful leadership skills we can develop.
We also explore the lessons behind his bestselling book, This Call May Be Monitored, his journey as an author, speaker, storyteller, and faith-driven creator, and how better conversations can transform businesses, relationships, and everyday life.

In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Bob Labbe, author of Putting by the Numbers: A Quantitative Method of Lag Putting. Bob brings a unique perspective to the game of golf by combining decades of engineering experience with a practical, numbers-based approach to improving putting. After earning his engineering degree from Georgia Tech, Bob built a long career in air pollution control, engineering, manufacturing, and industrial systems before applying that same analytical mindset to one of golf’s most frustrating challenges: lag putting. In his book, Bob presents a science-based method designed to help golfers improve distance control, reduce three-putts, and lower their scores without changing their putting stroke or buying new equipment. His approach uses physics, engineering mechanics, and simple arithmetic to help golfers better understand green speed, friction, distance, and their own personal “power factor.” This conversation explores how discipline, measurement, practice, and patience can transform not only your golf game, but the way you approach improvement in life. Whether you are a weekend golfer, a serious player, or someone who enjoys hearing how practical wisdom can come from unexpected places, Bob’s story offers a refreshing reminder: sometimes the breakthrough is not about swinging harder. It is about thinking clearer. Connect with Bob Labbe:

In this raw and powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah A. Reed sits down with Jennifer Gaydos Hartman — mental health & trauma advocate, Director of National Business Development at J. Flowers Health Institute, former star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Dallas, and author of the memoir *Tomorrow’s Not Promised: My Mother Came to Me in a Dream*.

Jennifer opens up about the night that shattered her world on January 1, 2020, and the extraordinary choice she and her children made in the aftermath: to become survivors instead of victims. She shares how generational trauma, unimaginable loss, and public persona collided with private pain — and how she turned that pain into purpose through advocacy, healing, and helping others at one of the country’s premier trauma and addiction treatment centers.

With over 20 years in psychiatric nursing and addiction treatment, Jennifer brings both clinical wisdom and lived experience to the conversation. She reveals the message her mother delivered from beyond that became the title of her book, and why she now lives (and teaches) with this truth: tomorrow is not promised.

In this episode you’ll discover:
• How to choose survival and break generational cycles of trauma
• Why it’s okay not to be okay — but not okay to stay there
• The power of living fully and intentionally every single day
• Practical steps for healing, getting help, and building a legacy of impact

If you’ve ever carried hidden wounds, faced sudden loss, or felt called to turn your pain into something greater, this conversation will refocus your heart and give you courage for the road ahead.
