The Wisdom movers

What if the hardest seasons of your life are also shaping you for something greater?

In this episode of The Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Corwin “CJ Moneyway” Johnson, media entrepreneur, podcast host, bestselling author, AI educator, and legacy builder, to explore faith, resilience, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.

CJ shares the story behind his podcasting journey and The CJ Moneyway Show, where he has interviewed entrepreneurs, authors, investors, athletes, executives, and thought leaders from around the world. We discuss what he has learned from those conversations and why storytelling can be such a powerful tool for leadership, business, and life.

We also explore how faith can provide strength during difficult seasons, how adversity can be transformed into purpose, and why building a meaningful legacy can matter more than simply building a following.

From podcasting and entrepreneurship to discipline, faith, and personal transformation, this conversation offers practical wisdom for anyone looking to turn their experiences into impact and plant seeds that can shape the future.

How much of the life we experience is shaped by the choices we make—and how willing are we to take responsibility for the consequences?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Branch Isole, author, poet, storyteller, theologian, and podcast host, to explore truth, personal responsibility, relationships, spiritual growth, and the choices that shape our lives.

With 22 books and decades of experience across teaching, corporate sales and marketing, entrepreneurship, writing, and ministry, Branch brings a wide range of perspectives to conversations about the issues people often experience but don't always discuss openly.

We explore why accepting personal responsibility can be difficult, how our choices create consequences, and what it takes to build healthier and more sustainable relationships. Branch also shares practical ideas for reducing stress and pressure in daily life and creating greater growth at home and at work.

This conversation offers thoughtful lessons on truth, accountability, relationships, personal growth, and living more intentionally.

What if lasting change isn't about trying harder, but about learning to treat yourself with more compassion?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Kerisma Vere, holistic wellness coach and author, to explore healing, self-trust, recovery, and what it really takes to create meaningful and lasting change.

Drawing from her own experiences with trauma, mental health challenges, addiction, illness, and significant adversity, Kerisma shares how those experiences shaped her approach to wellness and personal growth. We discuss why all-or-nothing approaches and quick fixes often fail, how trauma and chronic stress can affect motivation and self-trust, and why nervous system regulation can be an important part of sustainable change.

Kerisma also shares insights from her book The Light Switch Myth and her companion journal Ways I Showed Up for Myself, exploring how people can personalize their growth, reconnect with their values, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves.

This conversation offers a compassionate perspective on healing and reminds us that meaningful progress doesn't have to come from pressure, perfection, or self-criticism.

What if the biggest problems in a healthcare practice aren't caused by a lack of effort, but by leadership and systems that quietly create chaos?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Daniel Neissany, Doctor of Physical Therapy, healthcare leadership strategist, business consultant, podcast host, and author of I’m The Problem: Take Your Leadership Skills From Toxic to Transformative.

After spending 14 years as a clinician, Daniel stepped into leadership without formal leadership training. That experience exposed him to costly leadership mistakes, including high turnover, cultural breakdown, and significant financial losses. Those lessons eventually helped him develop a deeper understanding of leadership, operations, and sustainable business growth.

We discuss how healthcare leaders can build profitable practices without burnout, why leadership directly affects culture and financial performance, how operational systems support growth, and why burnout and employee turnover can often point to deeper organizational problems.

Daniel also shares lessons from helping grow an organization from 8 employees and $2.5 million in revenue to more than 150 employees and $36 million annually.

This conversation offers practical insights for healthcare leaders, entrepreneurs, managers, and anyone looking to build an organization that grows without sacrificing its people.

What does it really mean to build a good life in a world that constantly tells us we need more?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Kirana Sidin, Amazon #1 bestselling author and strategic life coach, to explore intentional living, personal growth, purpose, relationships, money, and the everyday choices that shape who we become.

Kirana’s journey began with a simple realization after her youngest child called her “jobless.” Instead of seeing it as an insult, she used the moment as a catalyst to begin living more intentionally. What started with one hour of reading each morning eventually became hundreds of reflections, a coaching philosophy, and her bestselling book, Cheers for a Good Life.

We discuss how ancient wisdom can guide modern life, why success doesn't always equal fulfillment, how to stay intentional in a distracted world, and why building a meaningful life often starts with ordinary choices.

This is a thoughtful conversation about living with greater clarity, purpose, and intention—and creating a good life one decision at a time.

What if the trials that break us could also become the foundation for our greatest purpose?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Oluwole Babatunde, a physician-scientist, psychiatrist, epidemiologist, author, and man of faith, whose extraordinary journey from losing both parents at a young age to becoming a physician, researcher, and Chief Resident in Psychiatry is a powerful story of resilience and purpose.

Dr. Babatunde shares how faith helped him navigate grief, uncertainty, and major life transitions, and how his experiences shaped his new book, Adapt and Advance: A Faith-Based Step-by-Step Guide to Turning Trials into Triumphs.

We explore how to move from simply surviving to advancing, finding meaning in hardship, building resilience, and bringing faith and mental health together in the journey toward healing and growth.

This conversation is for anyone facing adversity, loss, burnout, uncertainty, or simply searching for greater purpose. Dr. Babatunde reminds us that our difficult seasons do not have to define the rest of our story.

Why do smart, disciplined, high-performing men often know exactly what they should eat but still struggle to stay consistent?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Jeffrey Siegel, men’s health and wellness coach, Harvard teaching fellow, Psychology Today contributor, and author of Eating 2.0: How to Eat Confidently in an Ultra-Processed World.

Jeff helps men move beyond the endless cycle of dieting, restriction, overeating, guilt, and starting over. We explore why willpower alone often fails, what drives the Monday-to-Thursday discipline followed by weekend overeating, and how stress, identity, pleasure, social pressure, and the need for control influence our food choices.

Jeff also introduces his four Inner Eaters — Survival, Pleasure, Social, and Strategic — and explains how understanding these competing motivations can help us build greater self-trust and more sustainable habits.

This conversation goes beyond generic nutrition advice to explore the deeper psychology behind eating, health, consistency, and personal change.

What happens when political loyalty begins to compete with our allegiance to Jesus?

In this episode of Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Brian Drinkwine, pastor, author, and former political partisan, to explore the complicated relationship between Christianity, politics, and spiritual formation.

Brian is the author of Kingdom Over Empire: Recovering the Gospel from Political Captivity, a book that challenges Christians to look beyond political fear, outrage, tribalism, and the pressure to win. We discuss how politics can shape the way Christians think and live, how to recognize when faith has become politically formed, and what it means to remain engaged in the world without becoming spiritually owned by it.

Brian also shares his personal journey from growing up as a preacher's kid in Nashville to becoming a pastor, church planter, author, and someone who began questioning how deeply politics had influenced his faith.

This conversation is for anyone trying to navigate faith and politics without losing sight of Jesus, Scripture, humility, and hope.

We also explore why talented people can clash in the workplace, why family members can misunderstand each other, how parents can better understand their children, and why Sheila believes acceptance is more powerful than simply tolerating differences.

In this episode of The Wisdom Movers Podcast, we sit down with Liz Coleman, certified transformational life coach, psychology graduate, Mind Shifting and NLP practitioner, and creator of the MindLife Reset™, to explore the deeper beliefs behind overthinking, burnout, stress, and the pressure to always be “on.”

Liz shares how her own experience in a demanding C-suite career, relationship struggles, multiple responsibilities, and health challenges led her to search for a different approach to personal growth. We explore why traditional solutions can miss the deeper issue, why mindset alone may not be enough, and how the mind, body, and spirit work together in lasting transformation.
