  • Inspiration Station - "The Misunderstood Man"
    Jun 26 2025

    This episode confronts the crisis of authentic manhood and offers three transformative questions every man needs to answer for breakthrough in his life.

    • Men are often misunderstood and struggle with isolation, connection, and emotional communication
    • John Eldridge's book "Wild at Heart" provides crucial insights into what men are truly searching for
    • The three toughest questions men need to answer honestly:
    - Are you willing to stop doing "man stuff" and start being a man?
    - Are you willing to admit that you personally need other men in your life?
    - Is your family, community, and world worth your efforts to grow?
    • True manhood isn't defined by activities like hunting or fishing but by character, growth, and living with purpose
    • Men need community to heal and grow - isolation is where men are most vulnerable
    • "All men die, but few men ever really live" - we must find our hearts again to truly fulfill our purpose

    Join us for our new Men's Roundtable Series launching June 26th at 7:00 PM. This monthly discussion will create space for authentic conversation about the real challenges men face. Check our show notes for details or reach out via social media to become a panelist.

  • Matt Morizio - "The Replaceable Life: From MLB Dreams to Entrepreneurship"
    Jun 25 2025

    Matt Morizio, former Kansas City Royal catcher/pitcher and founder of Reconstructing Wealth, shares his journey from professional baseball player to financial entrepreneur and father of seven. His story reveals powerful lessons about identity, mental performance, and finding purpose beyond your career.

    • Chased professional baseball dream for nearly 20 years before transitioning to "real life"
    • Faced homelessness with his wife after being released from the Royals organization
    • Learned the counterintuitive skill of playing at 80% rather than 100% for optimal performance
    • Discovered the power of visualization and mental preparation too late in his baseball career
    • Realized everyone is replaceable after seeing teammates instantly substituted after being released
    • Found his identity in faith rather than occupation, unlike many former athletes
    • Started his financial planning business at age 40 despite being the sole provider for seven children
    • Defines wealth through four buckets: faith, family, fitness, and finally, finance
    • Dreams of creating a retreat center where people can find restoration and encouragement

  • Cathy Colver Garland - Revelationship: What Happens When You Say Yes to God Every Time
    Jun 18 2025

    What happens when your perfectly planned Christian life falls apart? Cathy knows the terrain of disappointment, having navigated divorce, health challenges, and shattered expectations despite "doing everything right." Yet rather than abandoning faith, she discovered something richer: an authentic relationship with a God who reveals Himself in every season, especially the difficult ones.

    Growing up as the oldest of six children with parents active in ministry, Cathy learned early to discern God's voice. Her breakthrough came through a simple yet profound insight: "Just say yes to God every time he asks you and no to the devil every time he asks you, and you'll end up doing all God has called you to do." This approach freed her from the paralysis of trying to decipher God's master plan and instead embraced a responsive relationship with Him.

    Whether discussing her popular blog "Graceful Musings," her passion for Hebrew language, or her concerns about consumeristic Christianity, Cathy combines thoughtful theology with practical wisdom. For anyone navigating disappointment, deconstruction, or spiritual uncertainty, her story offers a refreshing alternative to both rigid religiosity and faith abandonment—a third way of profound relationship with a God who still speaks, moves, and reveals Himself today.

  • "Fast Money Goes Fast: Lessons from a Two-Time Millionaire" with Andrew Bolton
    Jun 17 2025

    What happens when a two-time millionaire leaves Wall Street behind to revolutionize tech support? Andrew Bolton takes us on a candid journey through financial highs and lows, revealing how his mother now manages his company's finances after learning that "fast money goes fast." This raw conversation offers a refreshing perspective on success, failure, and finding purpose beyond wealth.

    Bolton's creation of Tech Rescue stemmed from watching his grandmother struggle with technology while researching family genealogy. This personal experience highlighted a critical market gap: the need for human-centered tech support in an increasingly automated world. Unlike typical support services, Tech Rescue prioritizes the human connection—calming frustrated customers first, then solving their technical problems through encrypted, secure methods.

    The most surprising revelation? Seniors are embracing technology in ways we never imagined. Adults 65+ are playing Fortnite with their grandchildren, creating profiles on dating apps, and becoming major consumers of wearable technology. This shift represents a profound change in how generations connect in the digital age. Meanwhile, Bolton warns of sophisticated AI-driven voice scams that can clone voices from social media videos, suggesting family code phrases as a simple but effective security measure.

    Bolton also offers thought-provoking perspectives on AI's impact on education, arguing that instead of fighting technological progress, we should integrate AI into educational frameworks to foster curiosity and self-directed learning. "Pick one subject, read about it 20 minutes a day and you'll be an expert in a year," he suggests, highlighting how AI tools can transform learning when properly leveraged.

    Ready to experience tech support with a human touch? Visit techrescue.io to connect with real people committed to making technology more accessible for everyone, from gamers to grandparents.
