WT Greer III has spent more than four decades using his voice to move rooms, open doors, and remind people what music can still do when it is carried with purpose.

In this episode of The Make It Count™ Podcast, WT shares the story behind the voice — from a dorm-room dare that turned into a career, to singing for U.S. Presidents and First Ladies, meeting Oprah, Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, Vic Damone, Diana Ross, and performing in rooms most people only read about.

But this conversation goes far beyond the stage.

WT talks about faith, family, free will, humility, mentorship, raising children with real foundations, and what it means to steward a gift instead of chasing fame. He shares why the goal was never just applause, why serving people matters more than being seen, and why carrying something meaningful requires diligence, obedience, and the willingness to keep learning.

This is a conversation about voice, legacy, leadership, faith, and the kind of life that gets built when talent is treated like a responsibility.

If you know you have been given something meaningful, this episode will challenge you to carry it well.

What happens when the season that stretches you becomes the reason you build something that helps other people?

In this episode of Make It Count, I sit down with Rob Duve — father of five and founder of DadGrid.

Rob shares the real work behind single fatherhood, rebuilding, emotional healing, asking for help, and learning to lead his family with more presence, responsibility, and connection.

We talk about the weight many fathers carry quietly, the stories men tell themselves when life changes, and why Rob felt led to build DadGrid as a place for single dads to find support, resources, community, and a way forward.

This conversation is for fathers, families, and anyone who has had to rebuild while people were still counting on them.

What do you do when the finish line moves, the dream takes fourteen years, and the work still matters?

Jennifer and Jason (Mac) McAlister bring two lives of endurance into one conversation.

Jennifer is a Christian author, speaker, certified coach, and devotional writer whose message was shaped through real life — including being stopped near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when the bombing happened. That moment became part of the story behind Press On, Trained to Trust, and her devotionals now reaching people through YouVersion and Bible.com.

Jason served in the Marine Corps and Navy, flew AV-8B Harriers, trained pilots, and went on to build Wraith Systems after seeing a gap in how fighter pilots were being prepared. His work now supports F-35 pilot training, and every F-35 pilot trains on the stick and throttle system he helped bring to life.

This conversation is for anyone building through pressure, delay, faith, family, business risk, or the private grind people rarely see.

We talk about marriage, endurance, calling, failure, obedience, support, and what it really takes to keep moving when the road keeps feeling uphill.

If you’ve been waiting for life to get easier before you move forward, this episode is going to hit you in the right place.

Greg Johnson, Founder of Night of Superstars, joins Make It Count for a conversation about adversity, service, dignity, and the kind of perspective most of us need more often than we admit.

Through Night of Superstars, students and young adults with special needs are honored for what they have accomplished, then supported through scholarships, mentorship, internships, and community long after the red carpet ends.

What Greg shares in this episode is bigger than an event. It will make you look at what you complain about, what you carry, what you avoid, and what becomes possible when you stop treating adversity like the enemy.

Enterprise pressure taught him how to build. Ownership made it personal.

Eric Wanner sat with me for a conversation that goes far beyond career titles.

He has built inside companies like Nike, Amazon, Walmart, and Sears, led large teams, carried real operational pressure, and learned what holds when performance matters.

Today, he owns Woofie’s of SE Nashville, has served more than 1,500 pets, launched Woofie’s on the Spot, and was named Innovator of the Year inside the Woofie’s franchise system.

But the real story is what sits underneath all of that.

Eric talks about being a dad first, learning to lead without leaving damage behind, building from relationships, betting on yourself, coaching kids, recovering after mistakes, and defining success before the world defines it for you.

And yes — this one gets personal. Eric is my brother, and that gave this conversation a depth I’ll never manufacture.

If you’re building something, leading people, raising kids, leaving corporate, stepping into ownership, or asking what success is supposed to feel like now, this episode is worth your time.

Peace has a backbone.

In this episode of Make It Count, Tanya Waymire sits down with Kit Cummings, award-winning author, international speaker, and founder of the Power of Peace Project.

Kit has taken his work into maximum-security prisons, gang conflict, death row, corporate leadership teams, schools, churches, and communities across the world. His message is sharp because his wisdom was earned in places where human behavior is raw, trust is fragile, and peace has to be stronger than chaos.

This conversation goes far beyond prison reform or conflict resolution. Kit opens up about burnout, public failure, shame, faith, purpose, and the calling that sent him toward the people and places most others avoid. He shares what gang leaders taught him about respect, what dangerous environments revealed about leadership, and why real transformation starts when people remember they still have light in them.

If you care about leadership, human behavior, emotional resilience, purpose, faith, culture, or building something that outlives you, this episode will stay with you.

How much of your life are you actually using?

Raymund C. King, MD, JD has lived a path most people wouldn’t attempt—magician, surgeon, attorney, actor, producer, philanthropist—and somehow stayed grounded in all of it.

In this conversation, we go into what doesn’t show up on a résumé. The moments that shape direction. The decisions that require movement when everything already “works.” And what it looks like to recognize the gifts you’ve been given—and actually use them.

Raymund shares how he’s navigated multiple careers without losing himself, what’s guided his pivots, and why he still sees his life as something that’s unfolding—not something he’s completed.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to do more, become more, or step into something you haven’t yet—this conversation will stay with you.

Listen all the way through.

Most people don’t fail because they can’t build.
They fail because they don’t know how to keep building.

Kevin Dutton does.

He founded Future Com in 1991, built it over decades, exited in 2022… and never stepped out of the arena. Along the way, he’s set records in open-wheel racing and continues to move into environments where performance isn’t optional.

This conversation isn’t about accomplishments.
It’s about how someone thinks, decides, and operates when the stakes are real—and why he keeps choosing it.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates people who build once from the ones who keep going… this is it.

Press play.

You don’t feel it…until you can’t ignore it.

In this episode, I sit down with Judy Gaman—CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas and a leader working on the front side of health, longevity, and performance.

If you’re building, leading, and carrying a lot—you’ve probably pushed your health to the background.

That works…until it doesn’t.

We get into:

• why “feeling fine” isn’t the same as being well
• what high performers miss until it costs them
• proactive health vs reactive medicine
• how to stay sharp, present, and in control longer

This is for people who want to keep what they’re building—and be around to enjoy it.

If this hit, follow the show.

Most people chase growth. Few understand what actually creates it.

In this conversation, Brad Cummings doesn’t talk about business the way most people do—he talks about what shapes the person building it.

From growing up watching his dad work two jobs to create opportunity… to leading in the military where no one is coming to save you… to spending over two decades inside middle-market businesses… Brad has lived in the environments that form discipline, decision-making, and perspective.

Now, as Co-Founder of Garza Cummings Blocher and operating within a family office, he’s not advising growth—he’s inside of it. Building it. Protecting it. Thinking long-term when most people are still reacting short-term.

We get into:

• what actually shapes how someone leads
• how proximity to the right people changes everything
• why middle-market businesses are where real impact happens
• the difference between building for now and building to last
• and the moments that quietly redefine how you operate

This isn’t something you listen to once and move on from.

It’s the kind of conversation that shifts how you see what you’re building—and how you show up while you build it.
