Hugs In The Wild With Angela Pennella

A hug sounds simple, but what if it’s really a doorway back to being human? We sit down with Angela Pennella, the “official hug dealer” behind Hugs in the Wild, to talk about why so many people feel disconnected and what it takes to create real connection again in coffee shops, airports, and ordinary moments. Angela shares how she went from New Jersey to building a life in San Diego, then chose Nashville, Tennessee as her next expansion season, not a “starting over” story. We also dig into achiever syndrome, that exhausting loop where productivity gets tangled up with self worth. Together we talk nervous system regulation, rest that actually restores you, and simple practices like breathwork and NSDR (non sleep deep rest) that help your brain learn, “I’m safe even when I’m not performing.” If you’ve ever felt distracted, anxious, or like you’re missing the people right in front of you, this conversation brings language and tools you can use today. Hugs in the Wild is not about forcing touch or crossing boundaries. It’s about courage, curiosity, and asking better questions that break down walls, even with people who do not like hugs. Angela shares a standout airport moment that proves how one brave interaction can spark a ripple effect of kindness, hope, and community.

Showing Up Today Can Change Your Life Tomorrow

An $88,000 referral check from one shared name sounds unreal until you understand how trust, service, and real relationships move money in real estate. We’re sitting down with Jana Truman in her new studio in Brentwood to talk about commercial real estate, generational wealth, and what it looks like to build a legacy without pretending you have it all figured out. If you’ve ever felt behind, unqualified, or simply tired, this conversation is for you. We walk through Jana’s story, from a childhood love of building to her start in commercial appraisal, and the moment she realized she needed a people-driven path and pivoted into commercial brokerage. From there, we get practical about lead generation for realtors and business owners: volunteering, showing up at networking events, and choosing an abundance mindset over a scarcity mindset. Jana explains why strong residential relationships still matter, how referrals work, and why AI won’t replace human trust in commercial real estate investing. Then we go deeper on mindset and faith. We talk about the power of “just start,” why waiting until you feel ready keeps you stuck, and how five minutes of action can create momentum. Jana also shares how she thinks about meaning in suffering, hope in dark seasons, and the importance of self-care and boundaries so you can keep giving without burning out. If you want commercial real estate education that’s clear, grounded, and focused on leaving generational wealth, you’ll also hear about Jana and Brian’s free learning resources, including their Accelerated Generational Wealth series and online content.

Faith, Fame & The Filter That Changed Their Life

A platform can make you famous, but it can also expose what you’re really serving. We sit down with Sarah Beth Lewis to talk about the last few years of change with Smo: shifting from label life and constant hustle into a season marked by conviction, clarity, and a much heavier sense of responsibility over a million-plus reach. We get practical about the work behind the scenes too. Sarah Beth explains how she runs social media management and brand management across platforms, why content insights and retention matter, and how easily the phone turns into a distraction machine. From there, we unpack the rise and release of Smolicious, their vegan food trailer born out of major weight loss and health advocacy, and why they ultimately felt called to step away so the bigger mission could breathe. The heart of the story is what changed after the Bless God Summit in California and how that moment led to bolder Christian faith, cleaner music, and a re-anchored life. We talk jail ministry and juvenile outreach, spiritual warfare and discernment, church hurt and finding real community, and the filter they use now: the Fruit of the Spirit. We also highlight Smo’s Smosis album, including songs like Lift Me Higher and Man On Fire, plus what it means to make faith-based country rap and Christian hip hop without losing your identity. If any part of your life feels noisy, compromised, or pulled off-course, this conversation will help you ask better questions and choose your next step on purpose.

After The Unthinkable Part Two With Ashley Owens

One phone call sends Ashley Owens into every parent’s worst fear, and what she shares next is hard to hear but impossible to ignore. We walk through the medical reality of traumatic brain injury, the shock of seeing signs of abuse in the ICU, and the unbearable moment a mother has to make decisions no one should ever face. If you’ve searched for child loss support, traumatic grief, or what it feels like to survive child abuse fallout, Ashley’s words put real language to what so many families carry in silence. The conversation also expands into trauma recovery, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, mental health crises, and how unprocessed grief can lead to more chaos. Ashley shares what finally helps: therapy, boundaries, community, and a faith that doesn’t erase pain but gives it meaning. If you’re trying to heal from PTSD, rebuild after an abusive relationship, or support someone through grief, you’ll leave with perspective and practical hope.

How Faith, Grit, And Smart Strategy Built The Revenue Agency

Tired of doing everything “right” and still not seeing momentum? We sat down with Brittany, CEO of The Revenue Agency, to map the messy, honest path from stalled growth to a business that actually fits your life. Her story spans childhood hustles, a high-performing run in network marketing, a leap of faith from Oregon to Texas, and an on-the-job masterclass in sales and digital operations that doubled a coaching company’s revenue—before she built an agency on her own terms. We dig into the decisions that matter most: clarifying your message so strangers know exactly who you help and how, building offers that match your strengths and schedule, and prioritizing revenue before vanity moves. Brittany dismantles common traps—funnels without awareness, bloated teams that drain profit, pricey SEO while skipping sales calls—and replaces them with a blueprint you can execute: a clean storefront (site and socials), a simple lead engine, a clear conversion path, and a delivery model you can sustain. We also get real about VAs: when they’re powerful leverage for admin and customer support, and when they’re the wrong tool for strategy, brand, or content. Threaded through it all is a theme of faith and resilience. Brittany shares a gripping story from her parents’ wood-products business that puts modern “emergencies” in perspective and underscores why responsiveness and reliability build an unstoppable reputation. If you’ve felt alone choosing a different path than your friends or family, this conversation offers both practical steps and a community to anchor your next move.

How Brock Zevan Turned Pain Into Purpose And Built A Life Of Service

What if the hardest season of your life became the clearest blueprint for impact? That’s the heartbeat of our conversation with coach and producer Brock Zevan a dad first, a top‑producing real estate agent, and a leader who rebuilt with alignment, systems, and service. We dig into the moments that shaped him, from addiction to the quiet wins of parenting and the daily discipline of a 256‑episode mindset show. We break down what actually moves the needle in a tougher real estate market: sharpening your listing presentation like an exam, shifting from scripts to real conversations, and borrowing credibility by co‑listing with top teams to stack proven reps. Brock shares play‑by‑play on appointment timing, question frameworks, and listening to understand so you can deliver a plan that calms fear and earns trust. If you’ve felt exposed by the market shift, this is the skills‑first reset you’ve been craving. Then we get practical about leverage. When should you hire a virtual assistant? When you can cash‑flow 3–6 months, name the top five tasks you must stop doing, and commit to training with clear SOPs. Brock outlines what to offload, what to keep domestic for smooth coordination, and how weekly standups and loom videos turn chaos into rhythm. We also touch on his cross‑industry coaching—from lenders to breweries to, yes, casket sales—proving that sales is a language of empathy, clarity, and process. Brock’s books tie it together. Turning Scripts Into Conversations translates DISC into everyday selling—so you connect instead of recite. Life By The Decades maps how our needs shift and how to adjust your goals with each stage. It’s a candid, human, and tactical ride that leaves you with a sharper toolkit and a steadier heart.

Behind the Notes with Sarah Beth Lewis

Our latest uncut episode, (YES uncut I was going to edit the first part but it shows to much of our personality not too.) Featuring Sarah Beth Lewis, or as she's now known, SB the Queen. Our conversation meanders through the avenues of her ongoing music career, stopping at the crossroads of life and her and Smo's food trailer they are opening. We pull back the curtain on our latest ventures. Embracing authenticity, we ponder the emotional rollercoaster of grief and joy, and how saying "no" has allowed us to dance more intimately with our true passions. SB the Queen and I also toss around the rigors of the music industry, the peculiar aversions that unite and separate us, and the intricate choreography of nurturing partnerships that bolster both life and art. Rounding off our symposium, we delve into the genesis of Big Smo Inc, and the upcoming launch of the Smolicious Mobile Eatery, which embodies their shared commitment to a healthful lifestyle. This episode is not merely a conversation; it's an odyssey through personal discovery, the harmonization of food with living, and the valor of redefining traditional concepts. We raise our voices in a duet that celebrates the growth in media, the navigation of social dynamics with grace, and the fusion of love's tender energies, all while hoping our mics caught every resonant note of this enriching dialogue.
