  Ep. 50 Be A Daydream Believer 02.05.2021 6min

  I'm a daydream believer...wanna know why? Because daydreams aren't just daydreams, they are snapshots of what God has planned for us. You may think that longing in your soul was from you, but God created you for a divine purpose and wired you different than the other 7 billion people on the planet. He created you for specific things that only you can do the way you do it. Think of a singer - many people can sing, but not just anyone can belt out like Pavarotti or Luke Bryan.

Kevin rose to fame and became a household name for his roles as Hercules, Captain Dylan Hunter in Andromeda, and Kull in Kull the Conqueror, but in this interview his guy next door - hometown roots and faith shine through. Since leaving the screen as an action hero he has dedicated himself to creating inspirational family movies such as Soul Surfer the story of surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm in a shark attack and faith based movies such as God's Not Dead to name a few. Kevin shared an encounter with a woman he met at  ComicCon who had polar opposite beliefs and why Christians need to be more forgiving - and I agree with him! I asked Kevin what's the biggest thing he's learned about himself looking back over his life. His answer surprised me and every creator, artist, leader and entrepreneur needs to hear it.  Takeaways from Kevin: His encounter with Rev.

  Hey there friends, I'm glad you're here. It's time to develop your confidence and experience a deeper self-worth in three key areas of your life: your mind, your faith and your leadership.

  Ep. 43 The Empowered Overthinker with Stacy Raske Pt. 2 27.09.2020 32min

Now she helps others break free from the dark side of perfectionism.  From hitting rock bottom, drinking, binging and cutting to a healthy, successful author and business coach; this interview reveals what lurks beneath the surface of so many broken hearts. Main takeaways from Stacy: The high achiever vs. the high performer running from the past, avoidance and numbing out being crippled by overthinking having the permission to "feel" paying the price of giving her power away and taking it back. Be sure to listen to Ep. 42 for part 1 of the interview.   Connect with Stacy Raske: Stacyraske.com Grab her book from Amazon: Amazon/author/stacyraske
