How to reinvent your leadership from the inside out
Create with Franz
Are you building a career on autopilot, or are you actually in the driver’s seat? Today, we meet Billy Moyer, a man who started his first company at 21 using his childhood savings bonds and has since founded over a dozen businesses. As the CEO of SOS Leadership, Billy has spent his life answering one question: Why do talented leaders get stuck?

Billy is here to help us navigate the...

From operator to architect of your life
Create with Franz
Is your daily to-do list stopping you from actually enjoying your life? We’ve all been there—buried under "grunt work," feeling like a tiny cog in a giant machine. My guest today, Terence Townsend, says it’s time to step out of the "engine room." Terence is back to show us that you don't need to be a tech genius to win in 2026.

On one side, we have high-performing professionals drowning in burnout, doing the work of three people just to stay afloat.

Today, I’m joined by leadership strategist and HEART Goals™ creator, Charlene Ridley. Charlene doesn’t just offer "hustle" advice; she offers a professional audit for your soul. We dive deep into why 80% of...

How to Become Rich in 2026: the wealth strategy no one is talking about
Create with Franz
"If you feel like you're working hard but still leaking money, it's not an income problem—it’s an architecture problem.” Most people believe their financial struggle is an income problem. They think a higher salary or a sudden windfall is the "miracle" they need. But the truth is, you cannot pour a gallon of blessing into a one-ounce cup. If your financial architecture is broken, more money will only expose more leaks. In this episode, Terence Townsend—author of Financial Prudence: The Way of the Kingdom—reveals how he went from a homeless minister with a wife and four children to...
info_outlineThe Christmas season is meant to be a time of peace and joy, but for many, it's a season of stress, conflict, and heartache. Are you worried about an impending divorce, family disputes, blended family friction, or the strain of unemployment, depression, or abuse? You are not alone.
In this special holiday episode, I discuss this rather prickly issue with Clive Twain, an offshore helicopter captain in the UK. A lifetime friend, committed Christian, and author of the highly-praised book, Grace for Grace, Clive lives in the UK with his wife and daughters.
Over an hour or so, he shares powerful, practical principles drawn directly from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ—the very reason we gather—to help you navigate the toughest holiday situations.
We will share:
❤️ How to find the inner peace you crave when faced with revived family conflict.
❤️Learning to see things from others' perspectives by looking at the early life of Jesus.
❤️ What Jesus taught about loving our "enemies" and those who consistently cause us harm.
❤️ Setting healthy boundaries: When you have every right to stop being around those who are abusive.
❤️ The role of temperance and patience in diffusing conflict, and how they relate to the core message of Clive's book.
Using scriptures like Romans 12:17-21 and Moroni 7:47-48, Clive provides three essential principles to help you experience genuine peace amidst the chaos. Whether you are a new or seasoned Christian, this conversation will offer you the light and guidance needed to make this Christmas season one of true rest and spiritual growth.
📘 Clive is the author of the book 'Grace for Grace' this is the first of two books; the second will be released in 2026. Here is an affiliate link for you from which I will earn a small amount: https://amzn.to/3WFefNt
