Lucas Caneda is Global Team Lead at UNIQORN Incubator and a professional rugby player for Sarlat Rugby Team. Lucas grew up as a die-hard rugby fan and started playing at the tender age of 5. Despite suffering what many thought would be a career-ending knee injury, he moved to France and built a career as a professional rugby player. 

After a few years in France, Lucas joined the Sarlat Rugby Team where he first met Dom Einhorn, the Founder, and CEO of the UNIQORN incubator-accelerator. Lucas immediately joined the incubator's rugby program and now works as Global Team Lead for the incubator, and two of its startups, FORMATION.GG and CXSports. 

A student of engineering, management, economics, and self-taught in nutrition and fitness, Lucas has always had a very keen interest in business, entrepreneurship, and personal development.

FULL VIDEO VERSION OF THIS INTERVIEW HERE

This is my fourth interview with Brian Cates, a political columnist for The Epoch Times and UnCoverDC. He entered the political arena following the death of Andrew Breitbart in March 2012. He makes his home in South Texas and is the author of Nobody Asked For My Opinion But Here It Is Anyway! and Tex Randle: Brotherhood of the Gun. He can be followed at his Telegram channel.

BRIAN AND I DISCUSS

• Brian's new article Trump Had To Step Aside So The American People Could Be The Storm

• Tell us why you believe handing over the keys to sleepy Joe was the right move at the time and will prove to be wise

• Trump's patience. With Fauci and especially the election fraud, he's shown remarkable patience. I don't think any other politician could have done it. Seeing Joe introduced as "President" is hard to accept. How is such a strong man like Donald Trump able to be so patient

• What are the next steps as far as proving election fraud and timing

• Seth Keshel and his incredible work. Over 200k citizens crowdsourcing information in Telegram channels for all 50 states and audits. What should we all be doing now to support? 


• Lindell's symposium. What do we know, and what do we not know. What surprises could be in store. How will Mike and the rest of us counteract the fake news smear, discredit and distraction campaign? 

• Is there a tipping point? 

• Should we be concerned about terrorism and false flags?

Rich Butler is an NYC product through and through. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, NY, Rich is one of four children, with three of the four children adopted by his mother, Irma. Irma was a career foster parent specializing in raising children with special needs. Irma officially adopted Rich a few weeks before her passing in 2000 after raising him since he was an infant when his biological mother gave him away. Rich continued paying his mother's work forward by becoming the guardian of his two adoptive special needs sisters and raising them currently with help from his brother. When not working on growing RAGE Works or the podcast network, Rich can found spending time with his wife and young daughter.

Richard  is a fifteen-year podcasting veteran who got the podcast bug after appearing on Video Game News Radio and the CSS podcast in Canada as a guest. He started the My Take Radio podcast in 2006, covering mixed martial arts, pro wrestling, gaming, and entertainment. After some podcasting burnout, Rich relaunched My Take Radio as a live call-in show via Blog Talk Radio airing every Thursday from 11 PM to 2 AM. During that time, Rich interviewed various fighters, actors, wrestlers, and entertainment personalities, but the rigors of a three-hour broadcast were taking their toll. So Rich decided to start to do the show twice per week and continued that until the show's 400th episode. The My Take Radio brand morphed into RAGE Works throughout the podcast journey and served as a foundation for the RAGE Works Podcast Network serving as its flagship podcast.
 
 The staff from My Take Radio and later RAGE Works got the podcast bug and launched their own podcasts on the network with many shows already in the triple digits of episodes. Rich continues to grow the network and is always on the hunt for unique and diverse voices who can resonate with the RAGE Works audience.
 
 RICHARD AND I DISCUSS

• Podcasting
• Creating and running a podcast network
• Finding out you're adopted
• Living and raising individuals with special needs
• When did you start podcasting?
• Why stop your show at 400 episodes?
• What challenges have you dealt with running a podcast network?
• What would you have done differently when launching your podcast?

In John's own words: 
 
"I’m a serial entrepreneur, seasoned leader and strategist. I’m an expert in brand identity, business communications, buyer behavior, sales conversions, marketing systems, product/service design and digital marketing.

I created two companies that averaged 4X’s ROI for businesses with branding and marketing models. In my industry, I’ve done it all to some extent: write, draw, code, design, but I shine as a marketing strategist and sales developer.

In ‘19, I merged my agency and became co-owner of Oyova. As President and Chief Revenue Officer where I’m responsible for the sales and growth of the company. 

A Little More About Me:

~ I have a unique ability to organize chaos, simplify the complex and build a team to overcome obstacles and challenges.

~ I’m not conventional. There’s always a better way.

~ And I love people, connecting with new ones and fostering old ones.

~ As I mentioned, I love people. So reach out to talk about tech, marketing, business or movies.

JOHN AND I DISCUSS

• How to Build the Ultimate Sales Process
• Leadership techniques to build & foster teams
• Developing simple, but effective strategies for anything (and the power differences between strategy/tactics, goals/objectives)

Teri Wellbrock is the host and producer of the international Healing Place Podcast; writer/blogger; motivational speaker; a registered Pet Partners therapy dog handler of her Labradoodle, Sammie; and founder/director of the volunteer organization, Sammie’s Bundles of Hope, benefiting children with trauma history. Teri radiates a contagious energy of joyousness and hope.

From her upcoming book:

"A little girl, armed with dimples and a compassionate nature, silently maneuvered her way through the wicked shadows toward a beckoning light. She moved with her head bowed in fear, hands clasped in prayer above her head, begging God to make the pain stop, and with God's light shining down upon her, a unicorn shadow was cast on the plaster wall beyond her. Legend has it the unicorn bestowed miracles, magic, and wisdom. The unicorn, therefore, represents opening oneself to infinite possibilities.

Unicorn Shadows is the story of my journey through trauma. By age 22 I had survived an attempted drowning by an alcoholic parent; physical abuse at the hands of a parent; sexual molestations by various predators; date rape; gang attack; attempted rape by a police officer; bank robbery in which a gun was held to my head and my co-worker was stabbed 3 times with a hunting knife; and a second bank robbery in which my co-worker was shot and murdered and I found myself face-to-face with an armed gunman. Those are merely the highlights.

It is a story of faith, of finding peace amidst the chaos, of believing in the miracle of hope. The unicorn shadow represents the pain of the prayer while simultaneously portraying the hope of the miracle within.

TERI AND I DISCUSS:

• What is your "story of hope" - personal trauma story? 
• How has awareness of the impact of emotional abandonment and co-dependent relationships impacted your healing journey? 
• Explain the power of friendship and soul connection with others. 
• Why is the "I get it" (#metoo ) connection so powerful. 
• Sharing our stories can provide a release, but also a bond with others. How has that impacted your own healing journey and helped others to heal in the process? 
• What strategies have you added to your own coping skills toolbox and which are your favorite go-to grounding modalities?
• What is your mission, dream, goal in your soul work? 
• Explain the benefits of exposing our vulnerabilities with others.  
• If you could reach as many people in the world as possible with your message of hope, who would you want your audience to be?
• What are your favorite go-to coping strategies?

Send audience to:

My website is where most interested listeners can find out more about me and my soul work.
