The Real Jason Duncan Podcast

Most people spend decades building wealth — Jason Wong turned $500 into a $15 million company at age 23.

In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Jason Wong — serial entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Packing Duck, and one of the most resourceful young builders in e-commerce.

After immigrating from Hong Kong at age 8, Jason started hustling in the backs of restaurants, launched his first business at 14, built a 30-million-follower meme empire on Tumblr as a teenager, and eventually turned problems he encountered into multimillion-dollar opportunities.

Jason shares how he made $250,000 in 7 days selling a coloring book that didn’t exist yet, why he targeted TikTok influencers with 500 followers instead of 50,000, and how frustration with slow, overpriced packaging led him to build an 8-figure manufacturing company without venture capital.

This conversation dives into:

•Selling candy in school at 14 and realizing the internet was his way out

•Building a 30M-follower Tumblr network and turning memes into $190k profit in 9 days

•The Holy Meme Bible: pre-selling $250k of a product that didn’t exist yet

•Launching Doe Lashes with $500 and reaching a $15M valuation in year one

•Why nano-influencers with 500 followers beat large influencer campaigns

•A Christian conversation card game doing $10M in year one from a single SKU

•How each new business solved a problem from the previous one

•Why the packaging industry became an 8-figure opportunity

•Tripling a factory’s revenue in 6 months and earning equity in the company

•Turning a 12-year Alibaba sales rep into his COO

•Why he’s bootstrapped everything and never raised venture capital

•Using AI tools to turn factories into an “Ironman suit” for manufacturing

•His vision to build a global platform connecting 100+ certified factories

If you’re an immigrant entrepreneur, building with limited resources, or turning problems into businesses — this episode shows what’s possible when hustle meets opportunity.

Most people hide their addiction until it destroys them — Kellan Fluckiger spent $3,000 a week on cocaine while testifying before Congress, then flatlined in an ICU and met God at the door.

In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Kellan Fluckiger, a former energy executive turned coach, author of 30+ books, billboard-charting choir performer, and founder of The Ultimate Life Formula. After hiding cocaine addiction and depression for 30 years while working at the highest levels of government and industry, Kellan experienced a divine intervention in 2007, quit cold turkey, and walked away from millions in contracts. In 2018, he died in the ICU for 17 days — and what happened at that doorway changed everything.

Kellan shares how severe childhood abuse created the “I’m not good enough” belief that fueled decades of overachievement and self-destruction, his 18-hour out-of-body life review of pain he caused and received, and the four truths God gave him about purpose and mission.

This conversation dives into:

• How childhood abuse created a lifelong “prove I’m good enough” addiction

• Spending $3,000/week on cocaine while running energy operations and testifying before Congress

• The 2007 divine intervention and 18-hour life review

• Quitting cocaine cold turkey after hearing “it is enough”

• Meeting his wife Joy at a Yo-Yo Ma concert when God said, “You need to marry this woman. Tonight.”

• Walking away from millions in contracts without knowing what came next

• The 2018 near-death experience: flatlining in the ICU for 17 days

• Standing at the doorway with God and being asked, “Do you want to come home?”

• A vision of infinite domains (like the movie Contact with Jodie Foster)

• Four truths brought back from death: You’re divine. You have a mission. You have gifts. Help is available.

• Why God said “Because you don’t believe,” when asked why people settle

• The Book of Context framework for eliminating limiting beliefs

• God’s final question before returning: “Are you sure?”

• How “context straitjackets” (BDEEP: Beliefs, Definitions, Experiences, Expectations, Perceptions) limit us

• Why success isn’t what you accumulate — it’s what you make of yourself

• His refusal to give up: “I friggin won’t stop.”

If you’re battling hidden addiction, stuck in “not good enough” patterns, or wondering if transformation is possible after decades of pain — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about redemption and purpose.

Who is Jennifer Payeur?

Jennifer Payeur is a healer, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of Nature Provides and Divine Health Alliance. After spending 29 years in financial services — including leading high-performance teams in the private bank at JP Morgan — Jen received a stage four cancer diagnosis with only a 23% chance of survival even with conventional treatment.

Instead of chemotherapy, Jen turned to gemotherapy: ancient plant stem cell remedies harvested from tree buds in the pristine Italian Alps. Within nine years, she not only healed herself but reversed aging dramatically — now at 60, she says she feels 30.

Jen is the author of Ancient Plant Wisdom and co-producer of the award-winning documentary Nature Provides, which has won 18 film festival awards including three at Cannes. She serves as Chairman of the Board for the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health, working alongside Dr. Nasha Winters to advance terrain-based cancer care.

She studied with the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers at the Center for Sacred Studies, where she learned that plants are our elders, the original medicine of the planet, and possess over 20 senses compared to our five. Jen now uses her intuitive connection with plants to guide clients through personalized healing protocols.

Nature Provides offers 80+ single plant remedies and 35-40 custom complexes for everything from lymphatic health to blood pressure, bone health to cancer support — all based on the principle that plants don't just mask symptoms, they bring the body back into balance and coherence.

Who is Diane Canada?

Diane Canada is a national TV commentator, podcast host, speaker, and author of the Lady Up America book series, with her third book Lady Up in These Last Days releasing in Spring 2026. She's a frequent panelist on Newsmax, News Nation, Scripps News, and Fox News, where she provides conservative Christian commentary on cultural and political issues.

After losing her brother to the mental scars of war from his service in Afghanistan, Diane ran for Tennessee State House in 2020. Though she didn't win, finishing at 46% against a well-funded incumbent with only 10% of his campaign budget, that race became a stepping stone to her current mission: training Christian women for cultural leadership.

Diane's career spans decades as a business consultant helping women-owned companies in crisis, a professional songwriter who hosted a syndicated TV show reaching 100 million households called Songs That Heal, and an entrepreneurship instructor in women's prisons for four years. She's appeared in battleground states training thousands of women through her workshops on how to attract people to biblical worldviews and influence culture without confrontation.

Her mission is this: healing America through Jesus Christ by equipping Christian women to reclaim culture, lead with faith, and build movements rooted in biblical principles rather than political outrage or feminist ideology.

Dr. Wang invented the amniotic membrane contact lens and donated the patents to the world. This innovation has been used by tens of thousands of eye doctors across nearly every nation, helping millions of patients regain their sight.

Through the Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration, patients from over 40 U.S. states and 55 countries have received free sight-restoration surgeries. In recognition of his lifelong dedication to helping blind and orphaned children worldwide, Dr. Wang was named Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.
