    Zach Miller Risked Everything With a Family to Feed… And It Paid Off | Sean Meyers | Ep 199

    HE WALKED AWAY FROM THE SAFE PATH… AND BUILT HIS OWN LANE FROM SCRATCH This episode of Level Up + Live delivers a raw, unfiltered look at what it really takes to step out of comfort, bet on yourself, and build a life rooted in purpose. Sean Meyers sits down with Zach Miller, founder of Texas Premier Black Car Services, husband, father, and man of faith, whose journey challenges everything we’ve been taught about success. Zach didn’t follow the traditional script. He dropped out of college, started at the bottom sweeping warehouse floors, and worked his way up through the corporate world… only to realize that hard work alone wasn’t going to create the life he truly wanted. Despite long hours, strong performance, and years of dedication, he found himself stuck, underpaid, unfulfilled, and searching for something more. Then came the moment that changed everything. After one frustrating experience in a poorly run Uber, Zach saw an opportunity others would ignore. Instead of complaining, he took action. With a growing family, no guarantees, and real risk on the table, he made the decision to start his own luxury transportation company, building it one ride, one relationship, and one leap of faith at a time. In this episode, Zach opens up about: The internal battle between security and calling What fear really looks like when you have a family depending on you Why most people stay stuck and how to break out of it The role faith plays in navigating uncertainty and risk The early stages of building a business while still working demanding hours Letting go of control and learning to grow beyond being the “technician” The reality that entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, and why that’s okay This conversation goes beyond business. It’s about identity, responsibility, and the kind of man you choose to become when the pressure is on. Zach’s story is a reminder that there is no perfect time to start, no guaranteed outcome, and no path without fear. But there is a difference between those who stay where they are… and those who decide to move forward anyway. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re capable of more, this episode will challenge you to take a hard look at the answer. Because in the end, the question isn’t whether the opportunity is there. It’s whether you’re willing to act on it. Be Our Guest!

    From Success to Surrender: When God Strips Everything to Build Your Purpose | Sean Meyers | Ep. 197

    SHE HAD THE SUCCESS… THE MONEY… THE HOUSE… THE CAR… AND THEN IT ALL VANISHED. What happened next will shake every entrepreneur, leader, and parent who thinks success alone will satisfy. In this raw, soul-stirring episode of Level Up + Live, host Sean Meyers sits down with May Adams, a faith-driven entrepreneur, mother of three, author, and business strategist who helps women break limiting beliefs and rise into their God-given calling. But this conversation isn’t the typical “success story.” It’s the story behind the success… the crushing… and the rebuilding. May opens up about the moment everything changed, when she realized climbing the ranks, building teams, and chasing “worldly success” had left something missing deep inside. Then the unimaginable happened: success collapsed, money disappeared, and everything she thought defined her was stripped away. The house? Gone. The financial security? Gone. The identity built on achievement? Shattered. But what came out of the fire was something far more powerful. Inside this unforgettable conversation, May and Sean unpack: Why delayed obedience can cost you everything The hidden danger of building success on pride instead of purpose What it really means when life forces you into the “pain cave” Why God sometimes strips away comfort to build character How entrepreneurs can shift from empty achievement to purpose-driven leadership May shares how losing everything ultimately gave her the one thing she didn’t have before: clarity, conviction, and unshakable faith. This episode will challenge how you think about success, leadership, business, parenting, and the journey toward becoming the person you were truly created to be. If you’ve ever felt successful on the outside but empty on the inside… If you’ve ever wondered why life keeps forcing you through hard seasons… Or if you’re ready to turn your test into a testimony… Press play now, because sometimes the greatest breakthrough only comes after everything falls apart.

    The Business Failure That Saved His Marriage ft. David Wilkinson | Sean Meyers | Ep 195

    HE LOST HIS JOB… ALMOST LOST HIS FAMILY… AND NOW HE’S BUILDING A KINGDOM-FOCUSED BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP.  This episode of the Level Up + Live is NOT just another “business growth” conversation. This is about pressure. This is about failure. This is about faith under fire.  Sean Meyers sits down with David Wilkinson, owner of Cornerstone Construction, and what unfolds is raw, honest, and deeply powerful. From losing his job… To shutting down his first business after cash flow collapse… To battling addiction that nearly destroyed his marriage… To rebuilding his family and leadership from the inside out… David doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. He breaks down: Why most entrepreneurs confuse “entrepreneur” with isolation The brutal lesson that being good at construction ≠ knowing how to build a business The “teabag in hot water” analogy that will hit you right in the gut Why protecting your family matters more than protecting your profit And how prayer shifted from a to-do list… to a real relationship This isn’t hustle culture hype. This is humility. This is healing. This is a man choosing legacy over ego. And when David shares the moment his 22-year-old son asked about joining the family business? Let’s just say… you’ll feel it.  If you’re a business owner silently carrying pressure… If you feel successful on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside… If you’re building something but afraid you might lose what matters most… This conversation is your wake-up call. Faith. Family. Leadership under pressure. Building a business without losing your soul. This is what leveling up actually looks like. Watch. Listen. Reflect. Then ask yourself: Are you building a business… or are you building a life? Be Our Guest!

    Shelley Failed, Prayed, and Won: A 23-Year Business Story | Sean Meyers | Ep. 194

    In this powerful episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, host Sean Meyers sits down with business owner and entrepreneur Shelley Guthrie for an honest conversation about faith, obedience, leadership, and the unseen journey behind long-term success. Shelley recently celebrated 23 years in business, but her story is far from a smooth path. Behind the longevity are failed ventures, financial risks, hard decisions, and seasons of uncertainty that tested her resilience and her faith. In this episode, she shares what most people never see: the setbacks, the lessons learned the hard way, and the moments where trusting God became the difference between pushing forward and giving up. Listeners will hear the powerful story of a single mother who opened her first business when her daughter was just three months old, built a company while raising three children, homeschooled during the early years, and learned how to navigate the constant tension between leadership, motherhood, and personal sacrifice. Shelley also opens up about: The reality behind business failures and how to move forward without fear Why many entrepreneurs make costly decisions before seeking guidance or prayer How a simple, honest prayer life can bring clarity and peace in leadership The importance of relationships over transactions in building long-term customer loyalty What she wishes she had done differently during the busiest seasons of her life How learning to care for herself made her a better leader and mother Beyond business, Shelley shares how mission work in Haiti transformed her perspective on success, gratitude, and service. What began as a trip to help others became a calling that has impacted her family, her business, and the lives of dozens of children. Through her salon and community support, more than $250,000 has been raised over the past 12 years to support an orphanage and create opportunities for families in need. This episode is a reminder that leadership is not about titles, recognition, or growth at any cost. It is about obedience, consistency, service, and staying aligned with the purpose you are called to live out. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, parent, or leader navigating uncertainty, pressure, or the weight of responsibility, this conversation offers both encouragement and perspective. Success is not built on perfect decisions, it is built on faith, resilience, and a willingness to grow through every season. Listen now to hear Shelley’s story and discover what it truly means to build a life, business, and legacy that lasts. Level Up + Live, helping you grow in faith, leadership, and intentional living.
