It is not very difficult to empathize with deprivation if you had been on the same boat before. As a child, Hav A Sole Founder, Rikki Mendias spent over five years in a shelter. His mother struggled to make ends meet and couldn't even afford to buy him a pair of much needed shoes. This early deprivation caused Rikki to develop an obsession for shoes and he started building a substantial sneaker collection. One night, Rikki realized that he had more shoes than he needed and decided to give away some of them – a pivotal moment that started a movement that has been going strong through the years. From that moment, Hav A Sole has since given thousands of pairs of shoes to those in need. Looking back, the woman who gave Rikki his first pair of Vans at the shelter would be proud at the person he has become. Listen to this inspiring story on this episode with your host, Thane Marcus Ringler.

The greatest leaders in the world have no reputation. Like Jesus, they don't care for accolades or recognition. They simply follow God's voice in serving Him and His people to the best of their abilities. But those leaders need to come from somewhere. They need to be lovingly cultivated to find their true identity under God's guidance. This is where Norris Williams comes in, a cherry farmer who prunes not only fruit-bearing trees, but also emerging servant-leaders in the Kingdom of God. As a coach, Norris inspires and equips ordinary men and women to know their true identity and use it to bring about positive transformation in their respective areas of leadership. Joining Thane Marcus Ringler in this conversation, he talks about making the right things easy, living in the Kingdom, being a man of vision, what healthy masculinity looks like, identity versus roles, developing leaders of no reputation, tribalism and so much more.
