In this insightful episode, host Janine Igliane and co-host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Tiana Cole, founder of Blank Slate Staging. 

Tiana’s journey into home staging began organically after styling her own home and helping friends achieve incredible results. What started as a passion quickly turned into a business, leading her to launch Blank Slate Staging in Northern California in 2019. After relocating to Arizona in 2025, Tiana relaunched her company with the same people-first approach, meeting sellers where they are and helping them navigate what can be a stressful season with clarity and confidence.

This episode goes beyond décor and design. Tiana breaks down why staging plays such a critical role in selling a home, how buyers form emotional connections before ever stepping inside, and the small details that make a massive difference in both photos and in-person showings. From kitchens and bedrooms to entryways, smells, and maintenance, she shares practical, real-world advice that helps sellers position their homes for success.

If you are a homeowner preparing to sell, a real estate professional looking to elevate your listings, or someone who enjoys thoughtful conversations about business, service, and intentional living, this episode is one you will not want to miss.

In this powerful episode, host Janine Igliane and co-host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Sam Openshaw, a husband, father, and entrepreneur whose life took an unexpected turn when doctors discovered a mass on his brain and the possibility of cancer.

Sam shares the raw and vulnerable journey from what was supposed to be a routine summer in Minnesota remodeling a new resort, to suddenly facing health scares, uncertainty, and fear of the unknown.

From the emotional roller coaster of waiting for answers to the lessons learned in surrendering control, Sam’s story is both deeply personal and universally relatable. He talks about the strength it took to lead his family through uncertainty, the support that carried him through, and the unshakable faith that reminded him he wasn’t walking alone.

Whether you are walking through a health battle, navigating fear, or seeking encouragement in your own journey, this episode is filled with hope, perspective, and a reminder that God’s faithfulness never fails.

In this powerful episode, hosts Janine Igliane and Ryan Hatcher sit down with Jay and Rebecca Feely, a couple whose journey spans professional sports, family, missions, and now politics. From meeting in church and quickly building a life together to navigating the highs and lows of a 14 year NFL career, Jay and Rebecca share the story of a marriage and family grounded in faith and perseverance.

Jay reflects on his path from college football to becoming a veteran NFL kicker, the lessons he learned on and off the field, and how his faith guided him throughout his career. Rebecca shares the reality of raising a family through more than 15 moves, balancing motherhood with life in the public eye, and holding on to faith during seasons of uncertainty.

They also share the life changing experiences of their mission trips to Haiti, the call to sponsor and eventually adopt a young man into their family, and why answering God’s call has always been their compass. Today that same faith is guiding them into the next chapter of public service as Jay Feely announces his run for the United States House of Representatives.

Through every season Jay and Rebecca testify to the importance of resilience, family values, and living with purpose. Their story is one of perseverance, calling, and hope and it will encourage anyone seeking to live with faith in action.

Whether you are passionate about sports, parenting, adoption, missions, or faith in public life, this episode is full of perspective, inspiration, and encouragement.
