From High School sweethearts to a military life in Japan, Trent Christensen hosts this jovial duo, Brian and Twyla Brown. Their story started in Delcambre, Louisiana, bouncing around the world until making their most recent stop in Arizona. International relationships require an open mind for change, and Twyla stresses the importance of communication when you have no one else around. 

Being 17 and 18 years old when they married, naysayers were all around, but time has proven that these two chose each other for a life to build together. A realistic approach, Brian, and Twyla don’t stress for perfection, but rather a ‘just make it work’ attitude mixed with a lot of laughter.

Marriage is difficult. The Jarretts tell us about the added challenges of interracial marriage. From dealing with in-laws’ bias to how to raise mixed-race children, it’s easy to understand that you don’t know until you’re in the middle. 

Trent Christensen interviews Terrence and Candace uncovering the commonalities of all marriages and the differences we don’t think about with mixed-race nuptials. 

Terrence and Candace are quite candid about owning their faults and what keeps their relationship alive - even to the point of admitting that pepper isn’t the only spice in the Jarrett’s relationship.

With a marketing background and absolutely zero experience in clothing design, Jenna Transtrum built a winning athleisure brand (pockets included). With a mere pinch from savings and some head down, hard work, Jenna’s team of husband and sister built a high-quality, low-cost brand that cut out the middle man.

Jenna Transtrum chats with Trent Christensen about the team she had that made managing three children and building a business possible. Although Jenna’s initial pursuit was to design swimwear, she adapted to the needs of many with a “learn on the go” approach, and Senita Athletics was born.

Alright friends, I’m very excited about the next segment of the Success Factor Podcast – called Relationship Success. 

In this series, I’m going to interview couples who have been together for decades, highlighting their individual challenges, dynamics, methods, and overall successes. I really hope to identify some stories that you as the listener can personally relate to and incorporate success factors into your own relationship(s). 

I know this world is full of relationship challenges, trials, heartache, happiness, love, and success. I want to highlight these aspects of relationships in such a way that the listener can easily learn and grow their own relationships to fulfill ultimate success together. 

It’s not easy navigating this VUCA world – volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Therefore, I hope this series will bring some advice and wisdom to your relationship. 

Stay tuned-in for this series to launch in the coming weeks. Thanks for your support and interest in this show. Until then, stay safe, everyone.

Paul Rudolph set out to launch twenty businesses in 2020, and only two months in, he hit the same wall that all of the world has encountered, the coronavirus pandemic. While this may smell like defeat to many - to a problem-solving addict, this only fueled the desire and necessity for invention.

Success often comes wearing a disguise. Paul Rudolph, otherwise known as ODP Paul, talks about successes through failures. A problem-solving addict, Paul has found his niche in life creating businesses to solve problems - or as he likes to put it, “discover work around life.” His problem-solving focus is community first and widespread from there. If we can solve a small problem, how can we effectively scale this to help others with the same or related issues? 

Though the pandemic completely reshaped some of his business ventures, it opened up possibilities to solve problems to which he was otherwise unaware. 

Trent Christensen talks with the host of The ODP Podcast.
