About our guest(s):

Cheryl Mothes is an incredibly driven and successful Certified Financial Planner with Edward Jones; but that's not all. From an early age, Cheryl knew she wanted to pursue three different career paths in her time, and that's exactly what she did. She began with a degree in nursing, then pursued financial planning, and most recently has stepped into health and entrepreneurism by getting another degree in health and nutrition. She is also passionate about philanthropy--she and her husband live a lifestyle of giving away 80% of everything they make. Cheryl also has a heart for young women, and she actively seeks ways to empower young women and raise awareness to help prevent sexual assault.

We've discovered in our first several episodes of Talks with Titans that people who are successful are also typically very modest about their success. Chuck is no exception. "I was just lucky," is something he said about many of his life accomplishments as he reflected with us. However, it'd be more accurate to say that Chuck is an incredibly talented man, a hard worker, and a true believer in God. As such, he's been happily married for many years, started one of the most successful jewelry stores in the Southeast Missouri area, and raised kids who now run the store, which supports them and their families.

A true titan among men, Fred Burgard is one of the hardest workers and most brilliant people you may have the opportunity to meet. After becoming a follower of Jesus during the Jesus movement in the early 70s and graduating with a Doctorate of Ministry from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Fred has lived an incredible life of ministry, service, and living every day as an outpouring of God's love. In 2004, Fred and his wife Sharon, alongside Paul and Nancy Cordes, started Shadow Rest Ministries, a retreat center, which Fred hand-built, created for pastors, missionaries, couples, and individuals to find a quiet place to retreat, rest and be revived. In 2019, Fred and Sharon felt led by God to donate the property to Prodigy Leadership Academy to serve as its permanent home. In the time since, Fred has been instrumental in the development and maintenance of the school property, he currently serves on its board of directors as well, and he has also been employed at Saint Francis Hospital as a hospice chaplain for the past six years.
