    From Prison to Purpose: The Courage of Eldra Jackson III

    You don’t meet many people like Eldra Jackson III. A man who once lived behind the walls of New Folsom Prison, Eldra doesn’t just talk about transformation—he embodies it. What began as a sentence meant to contain him became the very soil where his healing took root. Inside a maximum-security yard, Eldra sat in his first men’s circle. He showed up with walls, but walked out with something deeper: truth, vulnerability, and the terrifying freedom of being fully seen. That journey led him out of prison—and into purpose. Today, Eldra is the Co-Executive Director of Inside Circle, a writer, mentor, and public speaker whose TED Talk on healing and masculinity has impacted thousands around the world. His work is a lifeline for at-risk youth, incarcerated men, and anyone ready to stop performing and start healing. In this episode of The Brave Wrk Room to Grow Podcast, Eldra and I talk about: Why emotional honesty is the foundation of true masculinity How systems break men—and how circles can begin to rebuild them What it means to lead from love instead of fear This isn’t just a story of rehabilitation. It’s a call to all of us to stop pretending, go deeper, and lead from the heart. To learn more or support the work, visit insidecircle.org.

    From Ground Zero to Grounded w/ Shawn Maguire (LPC)

    Years ago, my friend Shawn’s entire world blew up—literally. A gas leak caused his house to explode, and in a single moment, life as he knew it was gone. But from the ashes came a story of radical healing, faith, and purpose. Years ago, my friend Shawn Maguire’s entire world blew up—literally. A gas leak caused his house to explode, and in a single moment, life as he knew it was gone. But from the ashes came a story of radical healing, faith, and purpose. Shawn Maguire is now one of Oklahoma’s most trusted therapists and the founder of New Vision Counseling & Consulting. He leads a team that walks with individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, trauma, marriage struggles, and leadership stress—with deep compassion and real results. In this conversation, Shawn reminded me that true leadership isn’t about dominance or detachment—it’s about living and leading from the heart. We talk about how pain becomes purpose, how healing starts with honesty, and why emotional health is non-negotiable for the life you actually want. If you’re ready to stop pretending and start healing, visit newvisioncounseling.org. And if you book a session, tell Shawn you’re a friend of Pedro’s—he’ll take great care of you.

    Strength In Vulnerability with Pastor J.D.

    Leadership isn’t about detachment, dominance, or emotionalism—it’s about living and leading from the heart. In this powerful conversation, Pastor J.D. from Intersection Church in Oregon, Ohio, joins me on the Brave Wrk Room to Grow Podcast to challenge the idea that leadership is lonely and to redefine what it means to lead with strength. We explore the role of emotions in leadership, why vulnerability isn’t weakness but power, and how Jesus modeled true leadership as “gentle and lowly of heart.” If you’ve ever felt like you have to be guarded or carry it all alone, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical wisdom for leading with authenticity.

    Turn Relevance Into Revenue w/Brandon Triola

    Today's episode is a real treat—I [Pedro] had the pleasure of diving into the world of branding and marketing with none other than Brandon Triola, the CCO & Co-Founder of Forrest. Trust me, this conversation was a masterclass in branding, and I can't wait to share some highlights with you. Brandon—award-winning designer, brand expert, entrepreneur, and all-around creative powerhouse—unpacked the essence of controlling perception. He opened our eyes to the power of guiding rather than being the hero of the story. Oh, and turning relevance into revenue? Yeah, he's got that down to an art. But you know what truly resonated with me? His crystal-clear definition of marketing. It's not just ads and promotions; it's about actively listening and solving problems. He showed us how active listening is the key to cracking even the toughest marketing puzzles. And here's the kicker: Brandon's golden question, "What do you want most?" This isn't just a simple inquiry—it's a gateway to uncovering the core of our desires, helping us cut through the noise and get straight to what truly matters. His core message, distilled from our conversation, is a beacon of clarity in the often murky waters of marketing: "Be the guide, not the hero. Control perception. Turn relevance into revenue. But above all, solve problems through active listening. And never forget to ask yourself, 'What do you want most?'" Brandon Triola's insights are like a compass guiding us through the maze of branding and marketing, reminding us to always stay true to our purpose. His brand new book is about to drop so be sure to snag it right away!
