- Episode 72: Learning to rise and soar like a phoenix after tragedy strikes with Zoe Thompson
Episode 72!
Meet Zoe Thompson.
Zoe grew up in the town of Bristol in the United Kingdom, a sporty, active kid who dreamed of one day being part of the UK Police Service. She accomplishes that dream and served for over a decade in a job she thoroughly enjoyed.
Tragedy hit close to home when a close childhood family friend was killed in the coordinated terrorist bombings of the London bus and subway lines on July 7, 2005. Zoe's family was rocked by this loss and Zoe found herself adrift.
A family funeral flipped the switch as she recognized the gift of her life and that she needed to get back to living. After taking stock of her health, she decided to focus on getting back into shape. On a dare, Zoe found herself learning and excelling at the sport of Strongwomen competition and rose to the highest of levels on the international stage.
Zoe now coaches people feeling stuck, frustrated and overwhelmed and helps them thrive and find their way to being the best version of themselves.
Enjoy!

Episode 71!
On this week's episode, Scott and I dive deep into what it means to be a father and a husband. Is it enough to merely provide for the family? It's no small feat to provide for a family that's counting on you to bring home the bacon, if you're the breadwinner or a key provider of the bread. Scott and I dig into how that thinking can lead you astray from your true calling as a father and the things your family truly needs from you beyond simply bringing home a paycheck. This one goes deep into your Divine call to discipleship and leading your family. Settle in!
Enjoy!

Episode 70!
This was a fun conversation with my new friend, Vin Infante. If you wanted to know the difference between spaghetti sauce and gravy, this is the episode for you! Seriously, we spend time on Italian food, and growing up in an Italian home, along with sports and the amount of investment we make in watching others play a game. Vin and I then dive into the mind and tools that can help with anxiety, depression and panic attacks - from Vin's perspective as a licensed psychotherapist.
Join us for this fun and engaging episode.
Enjoy!

Episode 67!
John Jackson began mountain bike racing as a teenager and while preparing for a 6-hour endurance race, he crashed over the handlebars and broke his back and neck in a devastating crash. During his road to recovery, he stumbled upon making healing oils and ended up creating a beard oil company before beards were a thing in a market that didn't exist. He battled through through the death of love ones, a global pandemic and the draw to go back to the simple 9 to 5 job in creating a global company that now sponsors professional hockey teams in Scotland and who's brand is featured in video games distributed worldwide. Through it all, John learned to take a bold step into things that scared him, and then just keep going. In the process, he's built a community of people supporting one another and striving to level up their lives.
Tune in and enjoy!

Episode 66!
Meet Charles Smith. Charles lost both his mother and his father before he turned 12 years old and then lived in 10 houses over the next 11 years. As a young adult, he turned to drugs as a way to cope with the loss and depression he experienced. He joined the military in an effort to gain control of his life and struggled while working in a Gitmo Bay Cuba detention center in riot control. After the military, he went into a depression and was homeless when he tried to end his own life. After that near death experience, Charles began to find effective coping skills in martial arts and exercise. He began to see his own hard life experiences as critical to helping others deal with similar trauma and it became his life's mission to serve others. Charles is now a Peer Support Specialist and a Certified Recovery Advisor in addition to an author of several self-help books on the topic of recovery.
Tune in to hear Charles's powerful story of using his own challenges to serve others in need.

Episode 64!
Meet Megan Lowdon. She built up a corporate career in hospitality and event management working 80-hour weeks and giving her all to her career. When the world went on lockdown during the virus outbreak, events were cancelled and she was let go without a defined date to return. After a brief respite enjoying the downtime, Megan started to get anxious to get back to work. She found a different opportunity in the meantime - helping her husband with his photography business using the skills she'd honed in the corporate world. And she's never looked back.
