Minister La La sits down with entrepreneur and life coach Jon Pinney. Jon and Minister La La have known each other through their networks for several years now, but have only really started to get to know each other better recently over the last year or so.  Minister La La asked Jon to be on the podcast because as he has been watching his social media and watching him engage with his friends and followers and has been impressed with the positivity and growth oriented discussions he has with people that may not agree with him or even aggressively confronting his beliefs. Minister La La is glad he accepted the invite, and believs you will really enjoy this conversation about growth, self-acceptance, and learning to love your full authentic self while not just celebrating fabulosity but spreading it to others. 

Jon grew up in California as the 6th child of 8 in a somewhat traditional Mormon household. He was the worst and most stubborn child ever until he realized he could also get what he wanted by being the best child ever - and people would still like him after. He came to understand he was gay when he was 12 which led to 20 years in the closet where he tried to change his sexuality. That led him deeply into the world of self-improvement and accomplishment as a way to overcompensate for not living authentically. That eventually led him to NYC, coming out, radically embracing his authentic self, starting a clothing line to spread positivity and a life coaching business to support the empowerment and elevation of others into what he calls The Vaulted Self.

Minister La La sits down with Amy and Michael Conn, two fabulous human beings who share their story of how cancer interrupted their lives and how they didn't allow it to destroy their lives.  But instead turned Amy's diagnosis into positivity and uplifting their communities! 

This is a long episode, but worth the time to hear their insights. They are easy to listen to and exude their love and fabulosity they have for their community and family. 

 Learn about how fire is not the only on the job hazard that firefighters face! Michael shares how cancer is one of the leading causes of death for firefighters!  Learn how firefighters are changing that and battling the causes, the stigma, and how they help their firefighting brothers and sisters!

Twenty years ago Amy Conn was a special education teacher and a mother  of two young children when breast cancer interrupted her life.  Rather than seeing it as a tragedy she chose to call it an “adventure” and that perspective changed everything! 

Amy Conn is a teacher turned healer!  A 34 year veteran special education teacher and E-RYT yoga instructor with over 2000 training hours! A reiki practitioner and certified Light Worker.  She is a founder of  A quality Life Community ( a non-profit serving Cancer Survivors.)  She has a couple education degrees from the University of Utah, she is a doctoral candidate.  She is also a  Published Researcher on yoga interventions for burn survivors.

Her cancer jouney inspired her book Revealing Grace: A Story About a Cancer Adventur and a Community.  She wrote it 20 years ago, but will release a revised edition on October 18th!  She will talk more about what has changed in the last 20 years and what you can expect from this second edition! 

Her husband Michael Conn

Is a Captain with Unified Fire Authority. He has Over 28 years experience in wildland and structure firefighting. He is the Utah Director of the Firefighter Cancer Support Network Since 2015.

Women make up half of the human population.  Through all of the roles that women hold, their contributions to the world and human experiences are immeasurable.  Yet, their history and stories are not told far enough and given the credit they are deserved.  

Minister La La sits down with Amy Lukas to tell her story and her journey.  

Amy is a Certified Jungian Life Coach, trained through CreativeMind—an ICF accredited program with a coaching methodology that integrates Jungian Psychology, Eastern Spirituality, and Social Neuroscience—and the founder of Fallow Renewal, a coaching approach designed to help people navigate life’s transitions with clarity, creativity, and purpose.

Her journey began in the world of design, leading creative projects for the Olympic Games and co-founding a leading creative agency working with some of the largest brands in sports. After nearly two decades, her creative agency was acquired, leading Amy to a new chapter in People & Culture. While deeply rewarding, she realized her true passion wasn’t just in shaping experiences but in guiding human potential. This led her to Jungian Life Coaching, where she now helps individuals embrace transformation, overcome creative blocks, and realign their lives with their deepest values.

Amy also knows the power of intentional renewal firsthand—not just in coaching, but in endurance sports. As a 20-time marathoner and five-time Boston Marathon finisher, she learned that the key to peak performance and recovery isn’t just pushing harder—it’s incorporating intentional pauses into training. That same principle applies to life’s biggest transitions: by creating space for reflection and renewal, we set ourselves up for greater clarity and long-term success.

Through Fallow Renewal, she supports individuals—especially those navigating life’s transitions, creative blocks, and burnout—to rediscover their essence and move forward with clarity and confidence.

For Transgender awareness week, Minister La La sits down and has a very insightful, fun, and fabulous conversation with a transgender woman named Jessica and her fiance, Ross. 
As Minister La La states during the introduction, due to the current climate of anti-transgender rhetoric, violence and politics we have decided to keep Jessica and Ross anonymous for this podcast.  But as you listen you will hear two very real human beings navigating life, love, and family as fabulous as they can.  From karaoke nights of love songs, dancing in the grocery stores, and celebrating Jessica day you will see the humanity as they break down the walls of fear and unknown surrounding the transgender experience.
We don't want to give it all away.  But grab a drink, cozy up in a blanket, and listen as these two take you on a vulnerable, authentic, and fabulous journey!

Minister La La is feeling the fabulosity as he introduces his guest for this episode!  Gino Ramos!  Minister La La kikis with his good friend during this episode. They discuss how to maintain your fabulosity through tumultuous times.  They talk about the "Let them" theory.  They touch on subjects from personal identity, intersectionality, allyship, finding your tribe and grace!

Even though we have listeners from across the globe you are most likely aware it is election season here in the USA. And it’s a Presidential election year.  So, there is a lot of rhetoric out there and it can make it tough to stay positive, celebrate your fabulosity and maintain your mental health.  This is especially true if you belong to an underrepresented minority or group.   

NOTE: Neither Gino nor Minister La La are mental health professionals or professionals in the social or medical fields.  They are sharing their experiences from their personal lives, volunteering, and professional experiences, their thoughts, and have a kiki for you to listen to. If you are struggling right now, please reach out to a professional.  If you are struggling with self-harm please call 988 from any phone.  If you are an LGBTQ+ youth The Trevor Project is there for you.  TrevorProject.org
