A Steward of What I've Been Given with Mike Milligan

This week, I'm joined by Mike Milligan, founder of 1.oak Financial, for a conversation about wealth, business ownership, and the legacy we're building every day. While money is certainly part of the discussion, Mike challenges the idea that wealth is the only thing we leave behind. We talk about the importance of your name, your character, and what people will remember about you long after you're gone. Mike also shares the realities of entrepreneurship—the freedom, the challenges, and the responsibility that comes with building something of your own. One of my favorite moments from our conversation is a story about Mike's grandparents. When his grandfather could no longer work because of physical limitations, his grandmother stepped in, cooking and selling collard sandwiches to help provide for their family. It's a powerful reminder that resilience, sacrifice, and determination often become the greatest inheritance we can pass down. This episode is about more than financial success. It's about work ethic, stewardship, family, and building a legacy that lasts far beyond a bank account.

A "Yes" Woman with Julie Bohata

This week, I'm joined by my dear friend Julie Bohata — Senior Ambassador for FEW Atlanta, Executive Assistant extraordinaire, and now one of the authors behind The Power of Yes. Julie shares the journey of writing her chapter alongside 17 other women, and how the theme of saying "yes" has shaped so many parts of her life. From meeting her husband Richard to ultimately saying yes to God in becoming a mother, Julie opens up about the fears and experiences from her childhood that once made her hesitant to have children at all. We also have an honest conversation about what it looks like to be a woman of faith in today's world — the challenges, the pressures, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who strengthen and encourage your walk with God. Julie shares how the women of FEW have helped her remain resilient, grounded, and connected to her faith through every season. This episode is about trust, healing, friendship, and the courage to say yes — even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

More Mindful of My Mind with Miles Rubin

This week, I'm joined by Miles Rubin, mindset and performance coach, for a conversation that challenges how we think about confidence, limitations, and what's actually holding us back. Miles shares how his own diagnosis with Tourette syndrome became the starting point for his journey into mindset work — leading him to help others break through mental barriers using tools like hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). But at the core of this conversation is something much simpler (depending on who you ask!)— and much more powerful: how we think. We talk about the way people define confidence (and often misunderstand it), including a moment where a client told Miles, "I don't have confidence," and his response completely reframed the conversation. We also dive into the common struggles business owners face like the tension between feeling limited today while trying to expand into what's next. Sometimes, the biggest shift isn't changing your circumstances — it's changing the way you see yourself.

Faithful Through the Fire with Jody Hudson

This week's episode is one of the most powerful and faith-filled conversations I've had. I'm joined by Jody Hudson, CEO and Founder of the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation and author of My Promise to Alex. Jody shares the unimaginable story of losing her daughter to Lyme disease — and the promise that now fuels her mission to raise awareness and help others. But her story doesn't start there. Jody opens up about a life marked by hardship — growing up in foster care, navigating adoption, facing alcoholism in her family, bankruptcy, divorce, and ultimately the loss of a child. And yet, through it all, her life is a testimony of faith, prayer, and resilience. This conversation is about trusting God in the middle of pain, holding onto hope when life doesn't make sense, and choosing to use your story to encourage others. Jody's strength is steady, grounded, and rooted in something far greater than circumstances. It's a reminder that by God's grace, even the hardest stories can become a source of light for someone else.

Someone Who Brings Ideas to Life with Daniel Shub

This week, I sit down with Daniel Shub, Principal Consultant of DKS Design, whose work helped bring to life "iNSPIRE: 50 Years of Innovation from Apple" at the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art. We talk about what it looks like to build a business rooted in creativity and intention, while also showing up as a husband and father. Daniel shares the influence Apple—and Steve Jobs in particular as we highlight a Jobs quote which seems to bring the whole conversation together: "your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life." This conversation is about more than design. It's about choosing your own path, creating something meaningful, and having the courage to think differently in a world that often pushes you to conform.
