    Turning Tragedy into Global Impact with Faith & Vision with Ross Mason

    In this powerful episode of Knowledgecast, Jack welcomes guest Ross Mason—a social entrepreneur, visionary leader, and man whose story embodies purpose through adversity. From Madison, Georgia, to Moscow, Silicon Valley, and beyond, Ross built global companies, mentored innovators, and founded the High Impact Network of Responsible Innovators (HINRI) to empower world-changing social entrepreneurs. After a life-altering accident left him paralyzed, Ross’s story took on even greater depth. With unshakable faith and a heart for service, he turned tragedy into a global ministry of healing, innovation, and hope. Hear how his journey—from meeting Corrie ten Boom as a child to mentoring global leaders today—shaped his belief that every challenge is an invitation to impact lives. Ross shares how prayer, purpose, and two simple questions—“How can I pray for you?” and “How can I help you?”—became the foundation for a life devoted to building God’s kingdom across the world.

    Serve. Add Value. Innovate. with Scott Stephenson

    In this episode of Knowledgecast, host Jack Williams welcomes Scott Stephenson, the former CEO of Verisk, for an inspiring and wide-ranging discussion on leadership, purpose, and growth. Over more than two decades, Scott helped transform Verisk from a small data company into a global analytics leader — not through slogans or short-term strategies, but by consistently returning to three guiding principles: Serve. Add Value. Innovate. Scott shares how these values became the heartbeat of Verisk’s culture, shaping how the company serves customers, empowers employees, and invests in innovation. He also reflects on pivotal decisions that tested his resolve, moments that defined his leadership, and the lessons learned from leading through both success and crisis. With honesty and humility, Scott opens up about how faith, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to others became his foundation as a leader. Whether you lead a team, a company, or simply want to influence others with purpose, this conversation offers a roadmap for building culture, creating impact, and leading in a way that endures.

    Building Bridges: How Faith and Community Create Lasting Change with Kevin Pounds

    In this episode of Knowledgecast, Jack talks with Kevin Pounds, Executive Director of Bridge Communities, about faith in action, community partnership, and the real meaning of leadership. Kevin shares how his journey from ministry to nonprofit leadership led him to see homelessness not as a problem to fix, but as people to know. Out of that conviction, Bridge Communities was born—a faith-driven initiative that helps churches use their land and resources to create small cottage neighborhoods for families experiencing homelessness. Each community is built on more than walls and roofs—it’s built on relationships. Through mentorship, partnership, and shared purpose, families find stability, dignity, and hope. Jack and Kevin discuss how this model is redefining the church’s role in today’s world, showing that true leadership happens when believers put compassion into motion. From transforming church properties into places of hope to empowering volunteers to walk alongside families, Bridge Communities is proving that leadership is about building bridges—between people, between opportunity and need, between faith and everyday life. 🎧 Learn more about Bridge Communities at www.jackwwilliams.com/podcast

    From the Mound to the Pulpit: Identity, Calling, and Character with Tim Cash

    In this episode of Knowledgecast, Jack has a conversation with Tim Cash, lead pastor of The Cross Church in Loganville, GA. Before stepping into ministry, Tim spent years as a professional baseball player with the Houston Astros and LA Dodgers, followed by over two decades discipling athletes and leaders through Unlimited Potential, Inc. ‍Tim shares stories from the ballfield—striking out Bo Jackson, dropping the ball on his very first pitch—and how those moments became metaphors for life. He reflects on mentoring figures like John Smoltz, Terry Pendleton, and Jeff Foxworthy, and why he ultimately left sports ministry to shepherd a local church. Together, Jack and Tim explore the four questions that shape every worldview (origin, meaning, morality, destiny), the four longings of the human heart (love, acceptance, worth, and significance/security), and the dangers of comparison in leadership. Tim reminds us that “we were born originals—don’t die a copy.” This is a powerful conversation on identity, calling, and why true success isn’t measured by applause, but by character and faith.
