Nightbirde’s Legacy: How Jane’s Faith, Music & Cancer Journey Are Still Changing Lives!

Throw No Rocks: Turning Cancer and Heartache into Gems of Hope

In this episode, I sit down with my new friend and mentor, business leader, Naval Academy grad, and author Charlie Watkins, who went from finishing his 48th triathlon to an emergency diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma(same cancer I had!) just three weeks later. Charlie shares how God met him in a dark hospital room, walked with him through chemo, reshaped his heart, and turned his “rocks” of pain into gems he now uses to help other men find healing, purpose, and true riches in Christ. I welcome Charlie Watkins, author of 'Throw No Rocks', to share his powerful journey from cloud-computing CEO and triathlete to cancer patient crying out, “Lord, please save my life.” Charlie unpacks how waiting on the Lord, walking through chemo, and facing multiple health crises prepared him to lead differently, love deeper, and come alongside other men and women in their own battles with cancer and hardship.

In this powerful episode, Russell sits down with Mitch Marcheski, CEO and founder of the Nightbirde Foundation and brother of the late Jane “Nightbirde” Marczewski, whose unforgettable America’s Got Talent audition moved millions.
