Never Allow Others to Devalue Your Worth.  

“Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.” 

~ M. Forbes

Regardless of your background, your accomplishments, your friend circles or your social status, anyone can fall victim to allowing others to steal their self-worth.  Listening to the negative drum beat of telling you what you can’t do, or you are not capable of, can be a poison.

This week I look to drive home that our self-worth must be driven by our own confidence.  Too many times, we can focus on our shortcomings or our failures, and this can make you feel less than.  Then when someone comes along and points our one of those areas that you lack confidence, it can almost feel validating, and you lean into the belief that you are not capable.

I was not immune to this type of thing growing up.  In fact, I can honestly say that this was the normal thought applied to my ability by most people when I was growing up.  Now, to be fair, I had never proven to anyone that I was capable of more up to a point in my late teen years.  However, the moment I decided I was worth more and that I was going to prove to myself that the only one holding me back was me, things started to change.

My message this week is simply that…stop holding yourself back.  You will always be capable of more than you give yourself credit for, you just have to embrace what is possible and then be lased focused on achieving that goal.  I hope to stand as the example of what is possible for and as I often say, “if I can do it, so can you.”

Why We Should Embrace Our Failures.  This week we take a long look at how our failures help us succeed.

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” 

~ W. Churchill

How do we grow through adversity; we must learn to embrace our failures.  No one wakes up and says to themselves that they want to make mistakes or face difficulties.  However, it is inevitable that we will all have setbacks and ultimately come up short of our goals.  When we face one of those moments, the only question left to answer next is, what are we going to do about it, or better yet…what will we do with it?

Some of the most impactful learning lessons that I have ever received in my life came at the hands of an incredible failure.  Working extremely hard at something does not always end with things working out the way you wanted them to.  I found this out several times throughout my life.  The pain and the loss of direction can sometimes leave you feeling defeated and without direction.  

This was true for me early in my life, but when I finally figured out that each setback and upset had a purpose, I started to grow in ways that I had never grown before.  My perspective was, the setback gave me tools that I would never had gotten if things would have worked out the way I wanted them to.  Ultimately that was going to make me stronger and better in the long run.

This week I share some of those moments that gave me a completely different appreciation for those difficult moments and put me into a more focused mindset.  I know that each of you out there have plenty of relatable stories or moments and given the right perspective, you may be much better than you give yourself credit for and ready to tackle the next great challenge that is headed your way.

You don’t have to be at your best to give your best.  This week I take a deep dive into the importance of giving your best in whatever you do.

“Give your best effort, because you are worth your best effort.” 

~ D. Waitley

This week I take the podcast in a new direction.  I am going to hit on a new topic each week that explores how we can improve our approach to life and get the most out of the years that we are blessed to have on this earth.

This week I talk about the importance of always giving your best.  More often than not we will not be at our best, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t give our best.  When we show up to the challenge we have already done more than many will do.  Regardless, of reason for not being at our best, when we give all that we have, we will ultimately walk away from most instances a better person than when we started.  

I share personal stories of how I knew going  into certain situations I wasn’t feeling like I had the best version of myself, but by giving all that I had, I always walked away feeling like I had grown as a person.  My goal is to connect with people each week in a very relatable way to inspire and motivate others to constantly work on being a better version of themselves, and give all that they have in whatever they decide to do.

One Mothers, One Mission: Creating Stability for Single Mothers.  My guest this week is Mrs. Amber Williams.

She is the CEO of Life House, a nonprofit that helps expecting mothers find stability.

“Life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who help others succeed.” 

~ S. Parrish

My guest this week is Mrs. Amber Williams.  Amber and her husband Brock are the CEO’s and founders of ‘Life House’ a nonprofit organization that provides free housing and resources for women facing unplanned pregnancies.  

Amber shares that after more than two decades of working in the beautician industry she was feeling a calling to help women that were facing uncertain futures by an unplanned pregnancy.  Amber explains that when she was young, she faced a very similar circumstance, and it was her sister that came to her aid and let her know that she wouldn’t have to face the challenges of being a single mom alone.  

After retiring from being a beautician her and her husband decided to look for a house they could purchase and start this ministry for others.  Amber describes how she leaned on others that had stated other similar organizations to help a need in the community.  So with her husband by her side and her faith in the Lord she took that first step and before she knew it they were off and running.  I encourage you to hear her message and consider supporting if you are lead.  You can learn more by going to their website www.chooselife.house and you can email at [email protected]

From Rock Bottom to Refuge: How Homelessness and Addiction Lead to Helping Others.  My guest this week is Mr. Kells Lucius, CEO of the nonprofit, The Way Truth Discipleship Ministry.

“Doing something for yourself gives motivation, but doing something for others gives meaning.” 

~ M. Lagace

My guest this week knows what it means to walk a mile in another person’s shoes.  Early in his life he had the American dream, a good job, a happy marriage with a family and nice house.  Things were going well for Kells, but like many people it only takes a few tough turns to suddenly wake up one day and the life that you once knew is suddenly a distant memory.

Mr. Kells Lucius slowly fell into being addicted drugs and alcohol after years of what he saw as casual partying.  These addictions took away his job, his house and even his family.  Then one day he looked around and saw that he had lost everything that was ever important to him.  He was eventually living in a deer stand and had no direction in his life.  Being at rock bottom can give you a lot if you are willing to recognize your situation and you are ready for a change.

On one early morning Kells decided to turn his life over to the Lord and follow however he would guide.  This change wouldn’t be drastic to start with, but like anything worth your time it is the investment where you will find the prize.  Over time Kells started getting his life together and that was when he felt a calling to help others that might in the position he was once in.  That is when he said God led him to starting the nonprofit organization, ‘The Way Truth Discipleship Ministries’ a residential discipleship that houses individuals recovering from addiction. This episode stands as an example that no matter where you are in life you can still make a change and God has a plan for everyone.  The only question left to answer is, are you willing to follow?

Stay in the Game: Living Beyond Prostate Cancer.  My guest this week is Mr. Derrick Michaud, Musician, Podcast Producer, and Cancer Survivor.

“You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.” 

~ S. Scott

If you are a loyal follower of the show, then this week’s guest would need no introduction.  My guest is Mr. Derrick Michaud, the owner and operator of SRP studios and local musical legend on the bass.  Derrick has now been the producer of my podcast, Motivate with Coach Camp for over the past 3 years.  Derrick is not just my producer; he is a close friend and when he shared with me his diagnosis of prostate cancer, he knew that he would not have face this life altering diagnosis alone.

It was just shy of a year ago that Derrick shattered his fibula when literally cannonballing into my pool.  Now in 2026 Derrick finds himself facing an entirely new challenge, but it is one that millions of other people have faced as well…Cancer.

Derrick gives a very detailed account of what it was like being told that his biopsy came back positive for cancer of the prostate and what it was like sharing that news with his family.  He opens up about his lifelong battle with clinical depression and how his beautiful girlfriend was his rock through some of those difficult, early days.  

The one thing that no one can deny at this point is the fact that Derrick is a fighter.  He knew straight away that he was going to face this challenge head on.  He shares how he made the decision to have surgery to remove the CA and how his hope of sharing his journey will inspire other men to get their prostate checked.  Derrick is an inspiration to me and I am proud to call him my friend.

Claim Smarter, Fight Better: Inside the Veterans Advocacy Movement.  My guest this week is Army Veteran Drew Jones and CEO of The Veterans Veteran LLC.

“This country has not seen and probably will never know the true level of sacrifice of our veterans.”  ~ T. Smith

It is not a stretch to say that regardless of organization, knowing all of your benefits and avenues can be tricky to navigate.  This can be especially true for veteran benefits.  As an Air Force veteran I can honestly say that I have often learned more from general conversations with other Vets than I knew from formal websites or other veteran resources.  

This is not a slight on organizations, it is just the truth about the challenges of cutting through the red tape to know what is truly available for a person.  That is where my guest this week can play a huge role with helping you decipher all the information that sometimes can be overwhelming.  Mr. Drew Jones found himself struggling to find the right path for treatment after his 7 plus years of service in the Army.  Dealing with both physical and mental health issues he decided he needed to seek professional help, but knowing where to start and how to properly file for such services, left him feeling defeated and discouraged.

Instead of letting this deter him, it inspired him to take action.  So often it takes an individual going through some difficult times to become inspired to carve a better path for others.  Jones figured he couldn’t be the only person that was struggling with the process and so after much deliberation and prayer and he decided to take action and started the Veterans Veteran LLC.  His goal is to help other Veterans get the benefits they deserve and give back to the country that has done so much for him.  If you want to contact Drew you can email him at [email protected] or call 901-258-7621.

The Mission Matters: Two Missionaries Experiences Serving In Cuba.  My guests this week are Mr. Ryan Duran and Mr. Josh Jenkins, Missionaries to Cuba.

“Only one life, twill soon be past; Only what’s done for Christ will last.”  ~ C.T. Studd

There are approximately 450,000 missionaries around the world and the United States makes up 1 out of every 3.  This week’s guests describe what it was like to not only feel the calling to go abroad and serve others but what it was like to enter Cuba, a communist country where Christianity as a whole is not welcomed.  

My guests Ryan Duran and Josh Jenkins have only been a tandem for just over two years, but their love for serving and desire to share their faith took them to a place that most Americans could never imagine. Regardless of your political favor or your religious beliefs, most people can admit that we have it pretty good here in America compared to a lot of countries around the world.

Ryan and Josh share how their friendship came to be and how a “by chance” conversation led them to both wanting to bring humanitarian aid and share their faith in a third world country that is heavily stricken with poverty.  The country as they describe it is riddled with ran down buildings, a severe lack of food and an even greater need for clean drinking water.  Since it is a Communist country there are no political parties.  There is only the elite and the extreme poor.  This episode will definitely pull at your heart strings.  If you would like to learn more about their mission or maybe you would like to donate you can go to www.thehandsandfeetofchristjesus.org
