THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Ken Gordon, Jr! Ken speaks on the responsibility of men during and after divorce. He is an advocate for men and fathers, while calling on men to  lean into responsibilities and work actively to banish the narratives of the “dead beat dad”.

Ken is a pastor, bestselling author, business executive, husband, father and a dedicated servant leader to his community and congregation. He and I sit down for a genuinely real conversation about his time attending The Citadel (The Military College of South Carolina) and the lessons learned from interactions with a diverse core of student demographics which led to him authoring “Bad Dogs – A Black Cadet in Dixie”.  We also discuss the situations that led to authoring the “Pancake Dad” and how it led to a 12-book engaged dad children’s series.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of BRiX HQ founder and CEO Julio Caceres. Julio and his team discovered that over 11 million American owned 1 to 2 rental properties, but do not have the right insurance in place and force them into 2 choices; continue on their own or they can sell the entire property and get out. But there is another way…using equity from investors to fund properties and remain as part-owners. Brix allows investors to buy and/or sell a fraction of a property. The fractionalization of real estate is a newly crafted investment opportunity for new or seasoned investors. Julio and I sit down for an amazing conversation about his definition of spiritual resilience and how it manifests through him as he builds his company. As BRiX continues navigating the capital formation stage of business, he must maintain a high level of resilience with heavy weight upon his shoulders.

As she says, “I am always a work in progress.” During this episode, Caryn and I discuss her definition of resilience as suicide survivor. “If I’m honest, resilience, at times, looks like finding reasons not to stay socially isolated and in bed for most of the day (work, husband, kids…). Other days I could jump out of bed and wrestle a lion and someone else’s wild animal of adversity (for them). I love people, and I love to help people. So if my life could resemble more of that, I’d find that resilient Caryn more often!” Go to www.coveredbygrace.blog/home/for her daily blogs, detailed testimony and a personalized message for you.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Invasion Ministries International. During a revival service in 2017, Murad Muhammad was called out in the meeting and fell out under the power of God, and as he fell to the ground, he heard the Spirit of the Lord say “Your ministry shall be called Invasion, the Church shall be called Invade and the Youth shall be called Impact” and part of the blueprint for how the ministry would launch was downloaded! The vision came in November 2018 when he was traveling with a Man of God named Paul Aloo, Founder of GloriousDestiny.org, he said “Murad it’s time for you to go downstairs and get your vision”. Murad then went downstairs of a church prayed, worshipped, and read the story of Nehemiah, how God told Nehemiah to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. After reading these scriptures he knew the mission of what God was calling him to do, Invasion was fully birthed. Throughout time the ministry has seen over 500,000 decisions for Christ, as God began to download the vision more and more, now we have launched Invasion School of Missions, an Evangelism School to train believers on Ministerial Excellence, their authority in Christ, how to lead people to Christ, Crusades and Outreach and Christian Leadership! During this episode, I speak with 4 members of the ministry team. We discuss the events of life that brought them to the team and what they were searching for.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Dr. Vic Manzo. Before going into Business and Mindset Coaching, Dr. Vic was a Chiropractor for the past 11 years and within the last 5 years, he was a specializing as a Pediatric Chiropractor. Like many others, he was taught to work hard, grind, hustle, put in the sweat equity, sacrificing time, money health and family and just continue doing, chasing dreams and eventually, one day, it will all be worth it. But, there came a moment in life where he realized this was not the only way to a desired life, nor to achieving success and so much more. Dr. Vic was tired from being burnt out every 4-6 months.  He was tired of not feeling satisfied with my success and the massive impact in his community.  Dr. Vic felt unfulfilled. He decided to stop DOING and start focusing on the BEING side of things. Dr. Vic had studied 10-12 different techniques on energy healing which taught him more than just the healing arts.  It taught him spirituality, studying Universal Laws, while learning more on how quantum physics is showing how consciousness affects physical matter. He started to look into his own limiting beliefs, the power of the subconscious, how his mind was programmed from an early age and understand the power of reframing one’s mind. Dr. Vic ended up working less, making more, leading a more fulfilled and soul-filled life. Every aspect of life transformed to higher and higher levels. He has now learned how to construct the ‘future self’ and utilize the science and ancient wisdom to achieve that.  Now Dr. Vic has taught this process to 100s of business owners in 22 different professions and 4 different countries.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Amanda Kate. The podcast goes international but this time we are located waaaayyyy down under in Melbourne, Australia. Amanda grew up in Adelaide but spent some formidable years in London where she found herself working in Event Management and Shell International Petroleum Company. The corporate game fed her need for success yet there was so much missing in her life, and marriage. She needed to prioritize motherhood and her children. During this episode, Kate and I have a rather humorous and compelling conversation about her take on spiritual resilience. She explains her journey in seeking to regain the missing portions of ‘self’ and what that looked like. Kate takes us on the journey to healing she endured from naturopaths, Chinese doctors, chiropractors and psychologists. Her emotionally abusive marriage had damaged her, and she wasn’t ready to let it beat her anymore. Additionally, Kate explains to us her training as a kinesiologist, and no, it doesn’t mean the same thing in every country…she’ll explain it better.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Kim Hamer. On April 16, 2009, Kim watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. She started calling their kind actions "acts of love." After his death, Kim, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She saw how their lack of helpful tools and guidance was costly. It negatively affected employee engagement, increased turnover rates, and lowered productivity. Kim set out to change that.

She is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss (https://amzn.to/3z8isxH), which is filled with effective ways to support an employee, friend, or coworker.

She entered the NYPD as a ‘Queens Marine’ with the 106 Precent where she ascended through the ranks while working with the “Burg Team”, Crime Team, a short stint with the Crime-Scene Team before moving into the narcotics team with the 7-5 Precent. Throughout it all, Sophia has found a balance between the stresses at work and the growth of a new family culture. During this episode, Detective White takes us through her definition of Spiritual Resilience and how it has manifested in her everyday life both personally and professionally. Sophia has found resilience in helping people who have had a “moment of bad choices” and just needed to be caught and driven towards a moment of life change. She breaks down living through false allegations and how her faith was tested by a stalker. Sophia has learned how to balance her paramilitary/authoritative leadership style at work and the coaching-leader style needed at home.
