    7: Marriage & Relationships - Alex & Meredith Ogburn

    Alex and Meredith Ogburn met at Texas A&M and were married in their early twenties. In the time since, they have had two children (both in college at the time of filming), relocated to Cape Girardeau, and had stepped up to the calling of leadership God has placed on their lives. What most caught our attention about them is the dynamic and success of their marriage; from the way they interact to the way they readily offer support, we were inspired and had to find out what went into building such a successful life and relationship.

    4: Jewels & Luck - Chuck McGinty

    We've discovered in our first several episodes of Talks with Titans that people who are successful are also typically very modest about their success. Chuck is no exception. "I was just lucky," is something he said about many of his life accomplishments as he reflected with us. However, it'd be more accurate to say that Chuck is an incredibly talented man, a hard worker, and a true believer in God. As such, he's been happily married for many years, started one of the most successful jewelry stores in the Southeast Missouri area, and raised kids who now run the store, which supports them and their families.

    3: Mom to Mayor - Stacy Kinder

    Though it's April 1, this is not an April Fools joke! Two of our high school students got to hear from and interview our very own Cape Girardeau mayor: Stacy Kinder. Bio: Mayor Kinder is from Hot Springs Arkansas. She earned a track scholarship to Vanderbilt University where she met her future husband John Kinder. The two married and moved to Memphis where she completed her bachelor of science degree in Physics from the University of Memphis. She then taught high school physics and math until becoming a stay-at-home mom when their first child was born. The Kinders moved back to Cape in 2000. In the time since, Mayor Kinder served in several ministries, notably in Young Life. After being highly involved in school activities as her kids grew up in the public school system, she served on the Cape school board for 6 years, was elected to the Cape City Council in 2018, and was most recently elected Mayor in 2022.

    2: Do it All, Faithfully - Fred Burgard

    A true titan among men, Fred Burgard is one of the hardest workers and most brilliant people you may have the opportunity to meet. After becoming a follower of Jesus during the Jesus movement in the early 70s and graduating with a Doctorate of Ministry from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Fred has lived an incredible life of ministry, service, and living every day as an outpouring of God's love. In 2004, Fred and his wife Sharon, alongside Paul and Nancy Cordes, started Shadow Rest Ministries, a retreat center, which Fred hand-built, created for pastors, missionaries, couples, and individuals to find a quiet place to retreat, rest and be revived. In 2019, Fred and Sharon felt led by God to donate the property to Prodigy Leadership Academy to serve as its permanent home. In the time since, Fred has been instrumental in the development and maintenance of the school property, he currently serves on its board of directors as well, and he has also been employed at Saint Francis Hospital as a hospice chaplain for the past six years.

    1: A Legacy of Success - Jerry Stone

    Though he has an incredible life's resumé, Jerry Stone is one of the most humble men you'll ever meet. One such career highlight was his being the CFO for Marketing One, which, during his time, was earning over a billion dollars in revenue annually. However, Jerry was quick to share that he wants to be remembered by his passion for following Jesus, and by his generosity. We will certainly never forget this special time we had with Mr. Stone, and we are so grateful for the wisdom he shared.
