Reboots

White Flag with Big Rev. is the story of a gospel rapper - the son of a hard-working country music artist who cut his teeth on everything from 80’s country and rock and roll to the mesmerizing beats of early hip hop and rap.

Big Rev. talks about his music, parenting special needs children, how he fuels creativity, his experiences with the Holy Spirit and how his family makes prayer an inescapable component of daily life.

Raised by a single mom, Jordan Cross reached her breaking point soon after discovering she was about to be a single mom.

In this episode, Jordan talks about the devastation she felt when someone else made a choice about her life when she was at her most vulnerable.

She talks about that moment of clarity when she knew she had her own choices to make, for the sake of the new life for which she was now responsible.

Today, Jordan is planning a wedding, scheduled for December 2017.

If you’re struggling with grief, if you know you need to show yourself grace, but can’t quite get there, if you’re checking boxes in hopes of earning God’s love, if you’re a young woman or the parent of a young woman, this episode is for you.

Most of us crave clean slates - free of clutter and unfinished items rattling around in our heads, on sticky notes beside our computers, or hidden in that stack of papers subtly shaming us from the corner.

Who has time to tidy up task lists, projects, or even neglected relationships for which there is regret for lack of time and energy?

Cue Zachary Sexton.

With his easy-going demeanor, a wealth of knowledge and the heart and skills of a teacher, Zack certainly IS well on his way to achieving his dream of becoming the Oprah of the small-business productivity space.

We’re thrilled to introduce Zack to our Reboots audience.

Even as he shares his own reboots experiences, he gives all of us ideas and encouragement for navigating and creating change in our own lives and businesses.

Chris Joannides says the most selfish aspect of his life is giving back. As director of the Riverview Hope Campus in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Chris gives back. A lot. And he asks others to give.

The key to change, according to Chris - car dealership owner turned licensed therapist - is being ready.

This Wyoming native shares with us how a book, a legal pad, and a family gathering brought him to the point of being ready for a change.

This story shines light on America's opioid epidemic.

In this first of a two-part interview, Mason walks us through a 20-year journey through a chemical addiction that began in high school. He holds nothing back. It’s emotional, honest, and reveals much about the mind of an addict.

He shares his childhood understanding of a god who demanded perfection, and how that metastasized into full-blown self-loathing and rejection of a Creator responsible for the pain in his life and those he loved.

Mason shares about recovery programs, especially Narcotics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery.

This pop up podcast celebrates the growth of entrepreneurship in our home base of Fort Smith, Arkansas - inspired by The Unexpected.

The arts, music, and mural festival has been featured in Afar, a global travel magazine that recently recognized Fort Smith - a community of approximately 80,000 on the Arkansas/Oklahoma border - as one of 8 surprizing cities with amazing street art.

This was our first effort at collecting sound in a crowded, noisy location. We learned a lot about our new mobile audio gear and promise to deliver better sound next time out. There’s nothing like overmodulating an interview with a sound pro like Grant Thomas at The Soul Collective to get your attention. Yikes!

Even so, what our guests said at the HEM Apparel launch party still rings true.

Casey Millspaugh is a millennial entrepreneur. He’s got a full-time gig and a fistful of side hustles working most of the time.

Casey’s business resides in a former bakery in Downtown Fort Smith.

In this interview, Casey dives into analysis and forecasting, cash flow, and he makes a compelling pitch for “Why Fort Smith?”

Even if you’re not a numbers person, you’ll love Casey’s drive, and his laid back approach to hustle.
