    Ready, Set, Monetize! Personal Branding Secrets with Jeremy Bishopo

    Ready to turn your online presence from digital tumbleweed to a cash-producing sidekick? In this episode, Kellene sits down with Jeremy Bishop—the man whose LinkedIn profile could use a seatbelt and whose personal branding advice has helped Netflix stars, Fortune 500 execs, and maybe even your neighbor’s Labradoodle go viral (accidentally or otherwise).  Jeremy reveals why your MySpace page and blurry pet photos are not a lost cause, how a good Instagram bio can open more doors than a master key, and why the only thing longer than a CVS receipt is the list of excuses people make for not building their brand. You’ll hear the inside scoop on avoiding the puddles of personal branding (spoiler: step AWAY from the endless product posts), why showing your hobbies isn’t just for fun but for trust, and the single networking habit that can turn your houseplant-level connections into high-powered partnerships.  Whether you want to be the next social media mogul or just finally monetize your knack for “accidentally viral” home videos, this episode delivers practical steps you can take—yes, even in your pajamas—plus the mindset shifts that separate the one-hit wonders from the business legends. No interpretive TikTok dancing required (unless that’s your thing; in which case, we want footage).  Grab your notepad and your sense of humor, because your personal brand’s about to get a glow-up.  Join us at Preparedness Pro in our Facebook Group or on our blog where you'll find peaceful, practical preparedness advice every day of the week!

  8. From Ashes to Impact: How a Fire Captain Found Purpose Through Tragedy

    From Ashes to Impact: How a Fire Captain Found Purpose Through Tragedy

    🎙️ From Ashes to Impact: How a Fire Captain Found Purpose Through Tragedy 🚒🔥 What do you get when you mix a seasoned fire captain, a mountain of adversity, and a heart bigger than a five-alarm chili cook-off? You get Rick Cheatham—a man who’s walked through the literal and figurative flames and came out not just standing… but speaking life into others. In this episode, Rick doesn’t just drop wisdom, he sets it down gently with a warm hug and a dad joke. From navigating decades of firehouse heroics to the gut-wrenching loss of his son, Rick’s story is a raw, real-life masterclass in resilience, redemption, and learning how to walk again—literally—after breaking his neck just five months into retirement. (Spoiler: He told his therapist he was gonna walk out of that hospital, and spoiler #2—he did.) We tackle the messy middle of sex addiction, the highs of a 40-year marriage rebuilt on servant leadership, and the power of choosing forgiveness when bitterness feels like the easier roommate. He shares how the trauma he once buried became the very foundation of his purpose—and how a one-armed, no-legged speaker from Dubai cracked open a new identity when he needed it most. If you're someone who’s ever asked “Why me?”, this episode gently—and hilariously—invites you to start asking “What now?” ✨ Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe rethink that grudge you’ve been lovingly feeding like a pet lizard. This one’s a soul workout—bring tissues, maybe a donut, and definitely an open heart.
