  • Ep 29 - My faith story. A murdered priest. And the point of this podcast.

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode I'm very transparent about my faith journey. I might be sharing too much, but I want to get it out of my memories and into audio so that the people I care about can listen and reflect on their own stories. It's intense for me to share it. The death of my faith was as important as its reawakening. Thank you for listening.

  • Ep 28 - DeVona Wright Cottrell: Building a runway where women, youth and young professionals can see what’s possible.

    I wanted DeVona to join me on my podcast, because I’m inspired by her story and wisdom. She grew up in a segregated city, experienced intense racism in high school, worked extremely hard to achieve her dreams, and now uses her platform to do a lot of good. DeVona’s voice is full of wisdom. We talked about career, race, success, caretaking for a parent, and much more.

    Brian Lammi is an entrepreneur and owner of six companies, including the Founder and CEO of TEAM LAMMI, which represents and has produced events for a wide range of epic athletes and personalities. 

    I wanted to know the story of how he landed his first professional athlete client, and what it's like to navigate that world. 

    I was also curious to know what role he played in Donald Driver (his client, friend, and business partner) winning Dancing with the Stars...

  • Ep 26 - Craig Counsell: Professional baseball, Parenting, Purpose, and Everything in between

    Send us Fan Mail

    Craig Counsell is a very successful professional baseball player turned manager. He played sixteen seasons with five different teams, and has now been the manager for the Milwaukee Brewers since 2015. He’s had a very impressive career, and he’s also a really good guy. 

    I treated this interview like a coffee shop conversation, asking quite a few random questions... all stuff I'm really curious about. There are some special moments in this episode. Craig said some things about ambition that were really helpful to me.

  • Ep 25 - Keller Fitzsimmons: An entrepreneur, author, and artist with a wild story

    Send us Fan Mail

    Keller knows wealth, poverty, failure, success, and the wisdom that comes with it all. She is an entrepreneur, an author, and an artist. This conversation touches a full spectrum of those topics and goes extraordinarily deep at times. 

    Keller shares real wisdom about how to find our way through complex life situations and challenges. 

    This is a special conversation.

  • Ep 24 - Ava's Joy: A story about joy in the middle of suffering

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ava is full of joy. She says the trajectory of her life is happiness. But why is that true when she suffers so much? 

    When Ava was 13 years old she was forced to make a choice between living with extreme chronic pain for the rest of her life or to have her nerves severed to end the pain which would cause her to lose all feeling. Imagine being faced with that decision. And that's just scratching the surface of this 19 year old's struggle. 

    So why is she happy? Where does her joy come from? And how can the rest of us find it? That's what we discussed.

  • Ep 23 - Antonio Ryckman: A black kid who loved computers and did something about it

    Send us Fan Mail

    Antonio is a 24 year old entrepreneur who started his career at the age of 12.  

    When he was a child, he hid his love for computers because he thought black kids weren't supposed to be good at using them.  Secretly, he started a YouTube channel where he taught people how to use design software (when he was 12). His videos earned hundreds of thousands of views.  At the age of 14, he got his first job as a graphic designer, creating products for the NFL and Disney World.  At age 18 he started the business he runs now with his business partner.

    I interviewed Antonio because I believe his story will inspire other young people to believe their talent can be activated in powerful ways.
