    The E+R=O Mindset: Transforming Grief into Greatness with Coach Jim Stroker

    Is E + R = O just a math equation, or is it the blueprint for survival? On this powerful episode of Eagle Freedom Presents, host Deston Rogers sits down with the legendary Coach Jim Stroker to discuss how life’s hardest moments can become our greatest teachers. Jim’s journey is not just one of endurance; it is a masterclass in transformation. From the grief of losing his father at a young age to the catastrophic 1989 car accident that left his daughter paralyzed and his son with a traumatic brain injury, Jim had every reason to give up. Instead, he leaned into the wisdom of his mother—his first "coach"—and the philosophy that Event + Response = Outcome. In this deeply moving interview, Jim shares the raw reality of raising three "miracle" children who defied every odd: Ali Stroker (the first wheelchair-using actor to win a Tony Award), Jake, and Tori. He breaks down how the Stroker family used resilience, humor, and "Key Lime Pie moments" to turn trauma into triumph. In this episode, you will learn: The Power of E+R=O: Why you can’t control the Event, but your Response changes everything. The True Definition of Character: How Jim’s mother taught him that character is "the ability to persist against constant opposition." Leadership Lessons: The story of Charles Blondin’s tightrope walk and why leaders must value action over words. Transforming Grief: How to view loss not as a stopping point, but as a "Hero’s Journey" moment. The "Key Lime Pie" Moment: How a "Key Lime Pie" moment completed the puzzle. Parenting Through Crisis: How Jim and his family fostered independence and success in Ali, Jake, and Tori despite massive physical and emotional hurdles. Jim also discusses his book, Huddle Up, and shares his personal definition of freedom: the courage to live true to oneself, unconstrained by the opinions of others. Whether you are navigating grief, leading a team through uncertainty, or looking for the inspiration to Rise, Inspire, and Overcome, this conversation is the playbook you need. Quote of the Episode: "Love motivates action. We didn't just survive what happened to us; we reframed it." — Coach Jim Stroker Connect with Coach Stroker: Website: Coachstroker.comBook: Huddle Up Ready to take your freedom journey to the next level?

    From High School Dropout to NORAD Command: The "Mental Roadmap" to Success - Dennis G. Smith

    In this powerful premiere episode of 2026, we sit down with retired U.S. Air Force Major Dennis G. Smith. His journey is the embodiment of the "Rise, Inspire, Overcome" spirit. From growing up in the poverty of the rural Ozarks and dropping out of school at age 16, to commanding top-secret logistics at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Dennis proves that your origin does not dictate your destiny. Dennis takes us deep into a 25-year military career that saw him rise from an enlisted airman to a commissioned officer, earning two college degrees along the way. But this isn't just a war story; it is a masterclass in emotional intelligence. Dennis opens up about the "Mental Roadmap" necessary to navigate life's darkest valleys, sharing gripping stories of how empathy and observance allowed him to intervene and prevent soldier suicide. We discuss the fine line between empathy and apathy in management, the courage it takes to hold the line on integrity when no one is watching, and how to build a legacy that outlasts your rank. Whether you are leading a corporate team, raising a family, or fighting your own internal battles, Dennis’s wisdom offers the foothold you need to climb higher. In This Episode, We Cover: From the Ozarks to the Air Force: Dennis reflects on his challenging upbringing and the pivotal decision to join the military at age 17. He discusses the "what if" scenarios of his life—imagining a path in the arts or woodcarving in Branson—and how he eventually completed his education while on active duty. Leadership in the Line of Fire: We travel back to Dennis’s time in Turkey, where he learned the delicate balance of maintaining strict discipline while showing compassion. He recounts a dramatic incident involving a break-in at his office and how he handled the fallout, proving that true accountability starts at the top. The Power of Empathy & Suicide Prevention: Dennis shares one of the most impactful moments of his career: recognizing non-verbal distress cues in a soldier and intervening to prevent a suicide. We break down why "toughness" isn't enough and why leaders must possess the emotional intelligence to connect with their people. The "Mental Roadmap": Dennis explains why tragedies often happen when people lack a mental guide to overcome obstacles, and how we can build that roadmap to fight addiction, depression, and loss of purpose. High-Stakes Integrity: Hear the inside story of how Dennis prepared a top-secret report for General Joe Horner—a task others refused due to the career risk involved. Dennis explains how checking your ego at the door and focusing on the mission allowed him to produce the first report to meet the Joint Chiefs' standards of proficiency. Key Quotes: "Integrity is a faster route to success than shortcuts. It’s doing the right thing even when no one is watching.""Vulnerability isn't weakness; it releases personal restraints and invites trust.""PTSD isn’t just for the military. We lose people every day because they lack a mental roadmap to overcome obstacles." Resources Mentioned: Book: Rising Up: From Woodsmoke to Wings (Available on Amazon & Barnes & Noble)Safety: Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Dial 988 Join the Conversation: Are you ready to change your trajectory? Let us know which part of Dennis’s story resonated with you most. Use the hashtag #RIOmovement and tag us on social media. Disclaimer: This episode discusses topics of suicide and mental health.

    Transforming Pain into Purpose: The Miraculous Journey of Terri Clifton

    What happens when life brings you to a complete "hard stop"? How do you navigate the transition from an idyllic childhood to the crushing realities of abuse, loss, and survival? In this profound and deeply personal interview, Terri Clifton shares her incredible narrative of resilience, faith, and the literal miracles that redirected her path when all seemed lost. The Contrast of Innocence and HardshipTerri’s story begins in a loving environment that instilled in her the values of service. Yet, despite this foundation, the transition into adolescence brought a lack of clear communication and boundaries. By the age of 18, Terri found herself navigating the complexities of teenage motherhood and an ill-advised marriage that descended into emotional and physical abuse. This episode explores the lessons learned when our upbringing doesn't quite prepare us for the toxicity of the world, and how a lack of healthy boundaries can lead to cycles of trauma. Surviving the Unsurvivable: The 80 MPH MiracleOne of the most harrowing moments of Terri’s journey is her survival of a catastrophic car accident. Struck by an 18-wheeler traveling at 80 miles per hour, Terri’s survival was nothing short of divine intervention. She recounts the experience of being nearly killed and the spiritual awakening that followed, realizing her life had been spared for a much higher purpose. This segment serves as a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments—when a "hard stop" feels final—there is often a redirection occurring that we cannot yet see. From Foreclosure to the GrammysAdversity didn't stop at physical trauma. Terri shares the heartbreaking experience of losing her home to foreclosure while her son watched. However, in a stunning display of "beauty from ashes," this displacement led to her son being enrolled in a different school district where he discovered a hidden musical talent—a path that eventually led him to a career working with the Grammys. Terri illustrates how what felt like a devastating failure was actually the catalyst for her family’s greatest success. Healing and the Power of Self-ForgivenessTerri provides a unique perspective on toxic relationships, using the metaphor of an "emotionally transmitted disease." She discusses the weight of emotional attachments and how she learned to break free through faith and the power of resurrection. After receiving multiple confirmations of her calling, Terri authored a 10-chapter book focused on leveraging spiritual resilience to overcome life’s trials, moving past the heavy burdens of guilt and shame. Key Takeaways from This Interview: The Necessity of Boundaries: Understanding how early experiences shape our adult relationships.Faith Over Emotion: Learning to make decisions based on spiritual guidance rather than temporary impulses.Finding Purpose in Pain: How to view traumatic events as markers for growth and divine redirection.Practical Healing: Strategies for releasing the past, including volunteering, new hobbies, and radical self-forgiveness.
