In this episode, I sit down with my father-in-law, Mike Wilmers—a retired real estate agent, devoted husband, father, “Papa,” and passionate golfer who’s discovering that retirement is anything but slow-paced. Mike shares how he and his wife Debbi stay active by supporting their widowed daughter and volunteering across the country in the wake of natural disasters. From losing everything in the 2003 Cedar Fires to navigating the ups and downs of life, Mike's story is one of resilience, service, and a deep-rooted faith in God.

In this episode, I’m joined by my mom, Janis Woolsey—one of the smartest, strongest, and most influential people in my life. Janis shares her incredible journey, from her humble beginnings in Massachusetts to starting a new life across the country in Santa Barbara. Her story is filled with courage, resilience, and heart—from being an only child to raising four kids, skydiving solo, and standing beside her husband, a Vietnam veteran turned banking executive. It’s an honor to share her story with you, and I know you’ll find it as inspiring as I do.

In this episode, Luke is joined by his father, Greg Woolsey, who shares how his journey from military service in Vietnam to a career in banking shaped his leadership philosophy. As a young gunnery expert, Greg was quickly promoted to oversee artillery operations—an experience that laid the groundwork for his disciplined and mission-focused approach to leadership. Later, while attending the Pacific Coast School of Banking, he became disillusioned with the lack of effective leadership in the industry. This inspired him to write a thesis on faith-based solutions to faulty leadership. Greg also shares a powerful analogy about communication, emphasizing that leaders must take responsibility for being clearly understood. His story is a compelling blend of military precision, faith-driven values, and a lifelong commitment to leading with integrity.

In this episode, I sit down with Shawn O'Connell, a Navy veteran, father, husband, and physical therapist. Shawn's early life was marked by adversity—growing up in poverty and an unstable home, he had written himself off as someone who wouldn’t achieve much. But through a series of pivotal choices—like enlisting in the Navy, shifting his mindset about what was possible, and daring to pursue what he once thought was out of reach—Shawn transformed his life. His journey is a powerful reminder of how small decisions can shape an entirely new future.
