    In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman speaks with Merriah Harkins, Senior Sales Officer at Lukrom, a private investment firm with a focus on private credit. While Merriah has built a powerhouse career in sales and investor relations—with over 25 years of experience driving revenue and client retention—her professional strength is rooted in deeply personal adversity. At just four years old, Merriah’s mother abandoned her family, leading to an unconventional upbringing in a boarding school without the traditional presence of either parent. This early trauma shaped her worldview, her emotional resilience, and her unique approach to risk, relationships, and leadership. Merriah isn’t your typical entrepreneur. In fact, she openly shares about a failed business venture and how it redirected her path toward her true zone of genius: connecting with people and helping them make confident investment decisions—whether they're active or passive investors. In this candid conversation, Jamie and Merriah explore not only her personal story, but also practical insights on capital raising, relationship-driven sales, and the mindset needed to thrive in real estate and private credit markets. This episode will resonate with anyone who has faced rejection, abandonment, or career pivots—and come out stronger on the other side.

    In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman welcomes Mark Monroe, a seasoned real estate investor and creative financing expert with a story that’s anything but linear.

He also shares the emotional toll of a serious health scare, revealing the mental resilience that got him through both financial ruin and physical adversity.

With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience across the sports, medical, and real estate sectors, Peter brings sharp insights and battle-tested wisdom to the table. Peter opens up about a major inflection point in his journey: a promising business deal that, if successful, could have earned him several million dollars. Instead, the deal fell apart, leaving him not only with a $400,000 loss but also the painful weight of what could have been. Rather than letting that moment define him, Peter used the experience to pivot, rebuild, and ultimately find greater clarity in his entrepreneurial path. This candid conversation goes beyond real estate. Peter explores how life unfolds in seasons, why timing matters, and how to make intentional choices—whether you're launching a business, investing, or simply figuring out what’s next.
