Everybody's seen the headlines that the pandemic affected a number of young people. It's almost like a lost year, and now, when you look back at test scores, they continue to tick down. Part of that is the pandemic. Part of that is that the education system isn't designed to teach to individual students. It's a one-size-fits-all solution. To talk about that today is William C. Campbell III, the founder of Dallas Academix Hub.

Life is never the way you planned it. There's an old saying that God laughs at our plans. We make these plans, and then God chuckles and says that's not how it will be. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm not in the driver's seat, and ultimately, we will go wherever God wants us to go. My next guest knows that very well. Jason Nemes, author and speaker, is in the studio to tell us his story.

We all know that behind every top-performing athlete on the planet is an equally brilliant coach. So, why don't the greatest CEOs on the planet also have a coach? Somebody who knows a lot about that is my next guest. Jim Russo is with the Boardroom Academy.

In the last few years, our television network has been growing by leaps and bounds. So, I'm always getting new shows, and I don't get a chance to meet every one of the hosts. One day, I was walking down the hallways here at Real News and saw a graphic on the screen. It said, From Beer to the Bible, and I turned to Josh, our head of operations, and asked, "What's that?" Since then, Ervin Lee and I have become good friends, and he's in the studio today, the host of From Beer to the Bible.

All families are touched by cancer in some form or fashion, whether it's skin cancer or something much more deadly. The young man who's on my show next knows this very well because he lost his sister to cancer. Now, he has come up with a game changer regarding early detection. Sumit Rai is the founder of Cancer Check Labs.

If you talk to anybody in the world of addiction recovery, you'll discover that in the last few years, the numbers have skyrocketed. I attribute it to COVID-19. So many people stay home and have a glass of wine or two during the day because there is nothing else to do. Now, it's rearing its ugly head in the form of addiction. My next guests, Deanna Richardson and Tami Guttman with Rising Star Recovery, know that very well.

If you have seasonal allergies, I don't need to tell you it's been a brutal allergy season. I've felt a little stuffed up here for about a week. I go out to look at my car, and it's got a dusting of yellow pollen all over it, so it's no wonder. Two people fighting a war against seasonal allergies are in the studio now. David Brent Noel and Kris Klein are with Pollen Sense.

A doctor and a lawyer walk into a bar. Then there's a third person who happens to be an ex-CIA analyst. Who has the coolest story? I want to be my next guest, David McCloskey, an author, speaker, and ex-CIA analyst.

There's an old expression. There are three types of people in the world: the folks who make it happen, the people who watch it happen, and the people who say, "What just happened?" My next guest is somebody who makes it happen. He is a serial entrepreneur and my new friend. Michael Nadeau is the Founder and CEO of Cnect.

If you watch the show for any length of time, you know I love entrepreneurs and ideas that come to fruition. Anybody can draw something on a table napkin, but to turn it into a real company takes a lot of vision, persistence, and determination. Two guys who know that journey well are in the studio today. Jerry Joyner and Antonio Swad with Buzz Brands.
