June 22, 2024 Episode 110: From Darkness to Inner Luminance
In this episode, Ryan Hall sits down with Michael Pedrano, the founder of Inner luminance, to explore his incredible journey of transformation and resilience. Michael opens up about his struggles with addiction, the challenges of family dynamics, and his fight for custody of his children after discovering abuse. He discusses the legal battles he faced, the support from his family, and his commitment to personal growth through therapy. Michael also delves into his coaching programs, the importance of overcoming self-sabotage, and the mission of Inner luminance. The conversation highlights the four phases of personal growth, the role of neuroscience in mental health, and the power of storytelling in teaching healing and self-awareness.
About Michael:
I am the living example of growing forward from all extremes to inner balance while living into my definitive purpose. My definitive purpose is to elevate humanity through knowledge and understanding. I live by example, in radical self-awareness while guiding others to seek the same for themselves. I unapologetically live in my objective truth. My favorite gifts to give to others are to inspire them to be self-inspired and empower them to be self-empowered.
I am a creator in a life of limitlessness within a universe of infinite possibilities. I am not a coach. I guide others towards their own answers, solutions, and healing by relating through my vulnerable truth. We all have our own perspectives, within those perspectives are our own answers…we just need to be shown where and how to look.
Take a moment to reflect on something incredibly important that often goes unnoticed in our fast-paced lives - our Inner Luminance. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our responsibilities, routines, and the demands of the external world. We often forget to nurture and cherish the inner light that resides within each of us. This inner luminance is what makes us unique, beautiful, and capable of spreading positivity and love to those around us.
Your Inner Luminance is a powerful force within you, waiting to be acknowledged and shared with the world. As you embrace and nurture it, you'll find that it not only enriches your life but also has a positive ripple effect on those around you.

April 29, 2024 Episode 108: "There's Coffee in the Fridge" with Author James Francis
In episode 108 of Soul-R Powered, Ryan Hall engages in a profound conversation with James Francis, author of "There's Coffee in the Fridge." James shares his journey of mental health struggles despite achieving material success, shedding light on the hidden battles many face. The discussion explores the impact of societal pressures, the importance of emotional connections, and the role of vulnerability in personal development. James also delves into his experiences with youth sports, coaching, and the pressures athletes endure. Practical advice on meditation, journaling, and living consciously provides listeners with tools for their own mental health journeys.
In this conversation, we speak about the importance of deep connection, removing shame from our pain, and the importance of having coffee in the fridge.
That's a metaphor and you'll need to listen to this conversation and read his book to find out what it means.
This is a powerful conversation and I'm honored to share it with you:

January 29, 2024 Episode 107: The Expanding Man Roundtable
During a low moment in my life, I started meditating on the phrase “Expanding Man…” Granted, as a lifelong Steely Dan fan, I knew exactly where the phrase came from. However, I knew I needed to keep exploring that phrase.
A couple of years later, I was invited to write a chapter for a book called “Redefining Masculinity” and the calling to explore that “Expanding Man” phrase and concept was only strengthened.
I knew I wanted to provide men the space to tell their stories. I knew I wanted to help men tell their stories about expanding what it means to be a man.
That’s why “The Expanding Man Chronicles” came to be.
We’re seven men from seven walks of life with seven stories about what being a man means to us.
We’re seven men from seven walks of life with seven stories about what being a man means to us.
On a personal note, helping these incredible men find their voices and tell their stories has been a revelation. And the book isn’t bad either.
And it doesn’t hurt to have six new brothers.
Please enjoy this conversation the Expanding Men had about our stories and about the impact this book is having on men, relationships, fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and acceptance of who we are.
Remember, today and every day…this is the day of the Expanding Man.
Oh…and coming Holidays 2024, “The Expanding Man Chronicles”, Vol II.

December 01, 2023 Episode 105: Rising From The Ashes - with Drew Deraney
Imagine your life gets completely turned upside down in less than a year. Your world is rocked, and you have no idea what’s next. What do you do? You can choose to make yourself better and create better circumstances out of terrible situations, or you can let the depression and despair crush your soul.
This was the choice my guest, Drew Deraney, faced when life completely took his legs out from under him. Several years ago, Drew found himself at a crossroads. After losing his marriage, his job, his father, and almost losing his own son in less than a year, he made a fateful choice. That choice led him to become an Amazon bestselling author, a podcaster, and a men’s coach and speaker.
Drew has a powerful story of reinvention and redemption, and I’m beyond grateful that he chose to share his story on the Soul-R Powered podcast.
About Drew:
Drew Deraney was born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ, where he still lives today, caring for his elderly mother and his three adult children: Matthew, Nicholas, and Emma. Drew earned his B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Applied Psychology, and two psychology research publications while at Fairfield University. He also received a scholarship from the Healthcare Financial Management Association and earned his M.B.A. in Health Care Administration from Baruch College / Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NY.
In a span of 9 months, Drew experienced a grueling divorce, job loss, his son’s suicidal ideations, and his father’s death, which devastated him emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. It is common for men to view challenges as weaknesses and to hesitate to show emotion or ask for help. While writing his book, Drew realized he wasn’t the only man suffering in silence. With newfound clarity of purpose, he began asking for help.
Drew’s mission is to help men release their inner greatness by embracing vulnerability, maintaining integrity, and making a positive impact on their personal and professional lives.

September 28, 2023 Episode 104: The TAO Of A Master Connector - With Steve Spiro
One of the best pieces of advice my dad ever gave me was, "To be successful in life, you've got to see, and you've got to be seen." In other words, it's all about growing your network.
My guest on this episode has dedicated his life to being the "Master Networker." Steve Spiro is the author of the new book The TAO Of A Master Connector. In our conversation, Steve shares how he went from being the ultimate introvert to growing his network to over 41,000 people and counting. And he shares the simple yet incredibly challenging and difficult way he shifted his mindset to grow his network.
This is a fascinating conversation with a fascinating man, and I hope you take tremendous value from this conversation and use it to start growing your own network.
About Steve:
Steve Spiro started his first company right out of college in advertising. Additionally, he holds a 4th-degree black belt in Karate and a 1st degree in Jujitsu, including having his own Karate studio. Steve attributes much of his success to a strong work ethic, a can-do, never-quit attitude, discipline, integrity, and fearlessness that he cultivated in the martial arts. Steve is a master connector with over 41,000 contacts. He also hosts a LinkedIn Live broadcast every week called The Master Connector Show. After pivoting from advertising to technology, Steve is now a business automation consultant and has recently published The TAO of a Master Connector.
Steve's Book: The TAO of a Master Connector explains how an introvert became a Master Connector. It provides lessons on how to overcome challenges, build a big community, and connect authentically.
