The Wisdom Transfer

What does it take to stay relevant when business, technology, and AI are changing faster than ever?

In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, we sit down with Jason Jakus, a nationally recognized business leader, technology executive, real estate strategist, bestselling author, and CEO of Brexus Solutions.

With more than two decades of experience building businesses and transforming organizations, Jason shares hard-earned lessons from brokerage ownership, executive leadership, organizational transformation, technology, AI, and business growth.

We explore what separates great leaders from ineffective ones, why talented teams sometimes fail to perform, how organizations can successfully navigate change, and what AI means for the future of business and search.

Jason also breaks down the emerging world of Answer Engine Optimization and why businesses need to start thinking beyond traditional search.

Because the leaders who succeed tomorrow…

won’t necessarily be the ones who know the most today.

They’ll be the ones willing to keep learning, adapting, and leading forward.

Where is AI actually headed—and how can leaders prepare for what’s coming?

Because the future isn’t just about knowing what technology can do.

It’s about knowing what to do with it.

What do you do when everything you’ve built suddenly begins to fall apart?

In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, entrepreneur, nonprofit executive, author, and Boston Marathon qualifier Kettia Ming shares an extraordinary story of entrepreneurship, adversity, resilience, and reinvention.

Kettia built a childcare business from her basement into a seven-figure company with four Manhattan locations before selling it to two Fortune 500 companies.

Then everything changed.

A legal battle, bankruptcy, and divorce forced Kettia to rebuild her life from scratch.

But instead of disappearing, she reinvented herself at 52 and entered nonprofit leadership—eventually helping transform Black Theatre United from an organization with an operating budget of under $200,000 into one with a $1.5 million budget.

We talk about entrepreneurship, failure, resilience, starting over, leadership, navigating hard pivots, and what it really means to keep moving when you can’t see what’s waiting around the corner.

Because sometimes…

you don’t need to know how the entire journey ends.

You just need to run the mile you’re in.

What if your phone could tell you that something in your refrigerator had just been recalled?

In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, Jordan Robinson, creator of Anxin, explains how technology is changing the way families can monitor food recalls, restaurant safety, household inventory, and more.

We discuss why food safety information often doesn’t reach consumers quickly enough, how receipt scanning can help families identify products they’ve already purchased, and why misinformation surrounding recalls can create unnecessary panic.

Jordan also shares what inspired him to build a platform designed to give families more proactive awareness about the products and environments around them.

Because when it comes to protecting the people we love…

knowing there’s a problem isn’t enough.

We need to know in time to do something about it.

What if the experiences we consider our greatest miseries could become the very experiences that awaken us to our magnificence?

In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, best-selling author and Magnificence Mentor Sue Paulson shares the extraordinary journey behind her books Magnificent Misery and The Healing Call of Cancer.

Sue takes us through a life marked by divorce, bankruptcy, failed businesses, a near-death experience, and two battles with cancer—and explains how those experiences pushed her to ask deeper questions about identity, suffering, healing, purpose, and personal growth.

We explore what it means to recognize our own magnificence, how adversity can transform us, and why some of life’s hardest chapters may contain lessons we couldn’t have learned anywhere else.

Because sometimes…

the goal isn’t to escape every difficult chapter.

It’s to discover who you can become because you lived through it.

Why do smart, successful people continue struggling with food even when they know exactly what they should be doing?

In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, men’s wellness coach, Harvard teaching fellow, and author Jeff Siegel explores the hidden psychology behind our eating decisions.

We discuss willpower, emotional eating, identity, stress, social pressure, rigid dieting, and the four Inner Eaters introduced in Jeff’s book Eating 2.0: Survival, Pleasure, Social, and Strategic.

Jeff explains why lasting change isn’t necessarily about becoming more disciplined or following a stricter plan.

It may be about understanding who—or what—is actually making your decisions.

Because sometimes…

the path to changing what you do begins with understanding why you do it.

What if sobriety is not the end of recovery, but the beginning of something much deeper?

In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, lifelong educator and author Susan Eileen shares her journey through sobriety, healing, and the inner work that transformed the way she understood recovery.

Susan introduces a trauma-informed perspective on addiction recovery—one that looks beyond stopping destructive behaviors to explore the deeper wounds, patterns, and self-sabotaging behaviors that can keep people emotionally stuck.

We talk about sobriety, trauma, healing, self-sabotage, inner peace, personal transformation, and discovering the inner light that can emerge when we finally begin doing the work within.

Because recovery isn’t just about leaving darkness behind…

It’s about discovering the light within you.

Georges shares practical insights on identity, decision-making, control, systems, AI, execution, and building a business that can operate without you.

Because success isn’t just about building a bigger business…

It’s about building one that gives you your life back.
