    Power With, Not Power Over: Rod Collins' Blueprint for the AI Era

    What happens when you give 50 people—from CEOs to recent college graduates—equal voice in solving complex business problems? Rod Collins discovered the answer while leading the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program through its greatest five-year growth period in 65 years. "Nobody is smarter than everybody," Rod insists. He shares how staying silent when he thought the group was heading down the wrong path led to breakthrough solutions he never imagined. From eliminating air crashes through cockpit collaboration to preventing AI tyranny, Rod's "power with" approach revolutionized not just business results but how we think about leadership itself. Sometimes chaos first leads to the best order. Rod Collins is an author, songwriter, and former business executive who pioneered collective intelligence leadership during his 33 years at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's Federal Employee Program. As Chief Operating Executive, he led the organization through its greatest five-year growth period in its 65-year history, achieving record-breaking financial and operational performance. His book "Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody: Why Self-Managed Teams Make Better Decisions and Deliver Extraordinary Results" captures his revolutionary approach to power-with leadership. Now in semi-retirement, Rod writes books, monthly Substack columns, and music. Learn more at rodcollins.net.

    What Happens When Life Strips Away Your Identity Three Times

    What would you discover about yourself if you lost everything you thought defined you… What happens when a 4x4 truck ends your professional running career at 20? Rob Rene found out. Then the pandemic took his corporate identity. Then came stage 3 melanoma. Three devastating transitions. Three chances to give up. Instead, Rob discovered faith isn't about Sunday church—it's daily relationship with God. He researched our broken medical system, learned his cancer's specific mutation, and fought back naturally. Fourteen months later, his tumors have shrunk 50%. "Fighting cancer is about starving it and getting your immune system strong enough to attack." Rob now helps others through Exodus Strong and Biohackingville, merging biblical wisdom with modern science. His message: if you have breath in your lungs, God still has a plan. Rob Rene is a faith-based AI wellness futurist, founder of Exodus Strong and creator of Biohackingville. After a truck accident ended his professional running career at age 20, he spent 20+ years in corporate sales before the pandemic sparked his deep dive into holistic health research. Currently battling stage 3 melanoma naturally (tumors down 50% in 14 months), Rob merges biblical wisdom with modern science through his products and community. His work focuses on four pillars: red light therapy, frequency medicine, molecular hydrogen supplementation, and faith. He hosts the "I Am Pain Free Podcast" and lives with his blended family.

    Choosing Peace Over Panic: One Man's Journey From Corporate Firing to Faith-Fueled Freedom

    How do you choose peace when the world expects you to panic? Michael Klassen, founder of the 5AM Podcast, shares his journey from senior broadcast producer to faith-fueled entrepreneur after an unexpected termination in October 2024. Despite nearly six years with the company, Michael walked out of the boardroom with peace, not panic. A prophetic dream months earlier had revealed this "better deal." His father taught him to make decisions based on what brings peace versus what steals it—wisdom that transformed crisis into opportunity. From farm responsibilities to launching a global podcast, Michael's story reveals how choosing peace, embracing hard things, and trusting divine guidance creates abundant life even in devastating transitions. Michael D. Klassen is the founder and host of the globally growing 5AM Podcast, dedicated to helping people transform their mornings and lives. Based in Canada, Michael brings a diverse professional background spanning broadcasting, production, and project management. After nearly six years as a senior broadcast producer, Michael experienced an unexpected career transition in October 2024 that led him to launch the 5AM Podcast in January 2024. Raised on a farm where he learned responsibility and authenticity early, Michael's journey has been shaped by his lifelong faith walk beginning at age five. His approach combines practical wisdom with spiritual guidance to help listeners worldwide embrace new possibilities.

    God Loves Us No Matter What: Tom Vozzo on True Healing and Transformation he found at Homeboy Industries

    What happens when a $2 billion CEO walks away from corporate success to serve former gang members?  Thomas Vozzo faced exactly that choice. After 26 years in the for-profit world, he chose Homeboy Industries over another lucrative CEO role—knowing he was "burning bridges." At Homeboy, Tom discovered profound truths. "God is too busy loving us to judge us," he learned, not intellectually but viscerally, surrounded daily by 500 people healing from complex trauma. He watched former gang members flourish when given 8, 9, 10 chances. The stress was greater, but the joy ran deeper. His journey challenges everything we're taught to value, revealing that authentic success means finding joy through serving others, not chasing titles. Thomas J. Vozzo is an author, speaker, and former Fortune 200 executive who served 26 years in the for-profit world before becoming CEO of Homeboy Industries, the world's largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry organization. As Homeboy's first CEO, Tom brought transformational leadership, quadrupling the organization's size, growing the annual budget from $11M to $50M, and helping 10,000 people annually. Currently serving as Senior Advisor, Tom promotes from within—70% of leadership are former clients. His 3x award-winning book "The Homeboy Way: A Radical Approach to Business and Life" is published by Loyola Press. He hosts "The Homeboy Way" podcast.

    Know What You Want, Then Ask For It: Troy Horne on Dreams, Fatherhood, and Following Your Calling

    Are you living the life you want, or the life others expect of you? One father's choice that changed everything.  Troy Horne went from driving to work in tears—seeing his 2-year-old only an hour a day—to asking for what seemed impossible: a spot on Broadway's Rent that wasn't a tour. Troy's wisdom cuts deep: We all know what we want—it's the first thought that pops up before limiting beliefs take over. His tool for clarity? Walking meditation: turning off the noise and spending days in quiet. "If you don't ask, the answer is always no." Now, Troy's mission is helping people over 40 live their dream and find their greater second half—a powerful guide for anyone navigating midlife transitions. Troy Horne is a three-time bestselling author who's sold over 300,000 copies, former Broadway performer in Rent, and NBC's The Sing-Off alum. When his son Moses dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player, Troy developed mental toughness frameworks for young athletes, interviewing icons like Kobe Bryant and Chauncey Billups and co-authoring the bestselling Mental Toughness For Young Athletes series with Moses. His mission is to help people over 40 live their dream and find their greater second half. As a sought-after speaker, author, and father of three, Troy believes greatness is a mindset.

    The Life In Transition Podcast: Ep 104: From Fashion Designer to Mind Alchemist: Breaking Free From Success That Suffocates

    Michael Carr’s story challenges us: Are we truly living, or just surviving our own success? Michael achieved everything he thought he wanted: fashion design success, recognition, the lifestyle of his dreams. Then at 35, it all crashed. Business partnership dissolved. Apartment gone. Friends vanished. But this devastating breakdown became his breakthrough. Growing up on a North Carolina tobacco farm, Michael spent decades proving his worth while crippling anxiety shadowed his success. "Everything I ever wanted came true," he reveals. "And that's when everything broke down." Through his Vis-Ability Alignment Method, Michael now helps others dissolve unconscious patterns in days rather than decades. Stop managing triggers. Start releasing them. The difference? Freedom.  Michael Carr—The Mind Alchemist—helps people discover and dissolve the unconscious patterns keeping them stuck, anxious, and disconnected. After nearly four decades managing teams of over 570 people in high-pressure environments, Michael appeared successful on the outside while battling crippling anxiety within. His breakthrough came from releasing—not managing—the hidden beliefs driving his resistance. Through his signature Vis-Ability Alignment Method, Michael guides clients to transform inner resistance into clarity and authentic connection in days rather than decades.

    From Invisible to Authentic: One Woman's Journey From Psychological Abuse to Self-Discovery

    Is it possible to transform completely in 18 months after being lost for 22 years? Kristen Crabtree shares her path from 22 years of psychological abuse to profound self-discovery. "You're a 55-year-old woman. You don't need her permission." Those words from a friend became Kristen's wake-up call. She rediscovered a book she wrote in 1999—filled with exercises to excavate the self. Through trauma therapy, meditation, and talking to her "true self" out loud, Kristen transformed in just 18 months. Now she helps others through Paramour Paradox. Her message? You are your own expert. The first step is quieting your mind. The rest unfolds from awareness. Kristen Crabtree is an author and Certified Divorce Coach helping people who've spent decades being steady, dependable, and invisible rediscover who they are. She's the creator of Paramour Paradox, a self-recovery ecosystem, and author of "Be the You That's More You Than You've Ever Been." After 52 years of forgetting who she was—including 22 years in a psychologically abusive marriage—Kristen rebuilt her life by excavating her truth, one layer at a time. Through meditation, therapy, and what she calls "talking to her true self," she transformed in 18 months and now guides others to do the same.
