JDS podcast

In this episode of the JDS Podcast, Joshua Agbontaen sits down with commercial pilot, former flight instructor, author, and lifelong UFO researcher David Brandon.

After witnessing a UFO at the age of 13, David developed a lifelong fascination with unexplained aerial phenomena. Drawing from his aviation background and his science-fiction novel Rings of Saturn: Enemy Within, he explores UFOs, UAPs, secret space programs, extraterrestrial questions, and the stories that challenge how we understand our world.

This conversation explores curiosity, questioning assumptions, aviation, storytelling, and what it means to keep searching for answers when we don’t have all the facts.

What if the memories we carry from the past are quietly shaping the way we live today?

On this episode of the JDS Podcast, Joshua Agbontaen sits down with Frank Healy, a Licensed Professional Counselor, life coach, and author with more than 40 years of experience helping people overcome emotional challenges, manage stress, and create lasting change.

Frank also has Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (hyperthymesia)—a rare ability that allows him to remember virtually every day of his life since childhood, including the emotions connected to those memories.

The conversation explores healing from the past, the psychology of memory, anxiety, stress-free success, personal growth, and how we can stop allowing painful experiences to control our present.

What if money is about much more than numbers, transactions, and bank accounts?

In this episode of the JDS Podcast, Joshua Agbontaen sits down with Connie Davis, a fintech and payments veteran, future-of-money strategist, founder of Maiden Explorations, and creator of the Sacred Ledgers framework.

After 25 years working inside payments and financial technology, Connie stepped away from corporate finance to listen to the stories of people affected by trauma, abuse, financial hardship, and human trafficking. That experience changed the way she understood money and commerce.

Today, she explores the connection between money, trust, trauma, technology, and human value—and why the future of finance needs to recognize the person behind the transaction.
