    Living Her Best Life w/ Vicki St. James

    I’ve always been enthralled by her loving nature and her ability to speak life into others. Her beautiful attributes have been evident to me for many years now, but our first interaction was in 2015, at the University of Northern Iowa. Vicki St. James was my College Writing & Research Professor.  Listen as we dive into the dedication it took for Vicki, a single parent, to raise her five children while working full-time—and spending fifteen years in college to attain her three degrees: a BA and two MAs.  Vicki’s unique road to living her best life is fueled by her ardent quest for knowledge and her intense love for reading, which she developed from a very early age. We speak on instilling a love of literature in her children and then again with her grandchildren.  After nearly a decade of teaching at numerous institutions of higher learning, Vicki has been enjoying her second chapter in radio, as the first chapter had closed by choice—rather precipitously back in 2006. When given the chance to return to her first love, radio, she embraced the opportunity! Vicki hosts a daily radio program on classic country music station, 106.5 FM, streaming live around the world at iowacorncountry.com, and via the free app—available wherever you download your apps. Iowa Corn Country, 106.5 FM, part of the locally owned Coloff Media family of radio stations throughout North Iowa, keeps her busy by day.  By night—when she’s not emceeing a community event—Vicki is owner, operator, and CEO of St. James Professional Editing Services, wherein she enjoys using her expertise as a professional editor to help other creators achieve their goals and literary dreams.  𝙀𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙚!  Find more at: www.theworldwithnate.com  Connect with Nate at: theworldwithnatepodcast@gmail.com

    Lessons in Love w/ Jalissa Rose

    Jalissa made her wedding vows and remained committed even when she didn’t like what was going on in her marriage. Addiction had ravaged her relationship since the very beginning, and she was exhausted from the numerous attempts to help her partner. Jalissa ultimately made the difficult decision to divorce her husband.  Consumed with feelings of guilt and shame from the breakdown of her first marriage, Jalissa didn’t know if she’d ever want to pursue love again. Until, out of curiosity, she took a course with a relationship coach that changed everything. Hear how Jalissa took control of her future by answering some tough questions about herself and where she wanted her life to go. Finding someone with the same passions and goals led Jalissa down the aisle to become Mrs. Jalissa Rose. We chat authentically about the difficulties that remarriage presents while Jalissa takes steps to heal from her past. We discuss the reality of blending a family, while homeschooling six school-aged children, when child number seven is on the way. It isn’t always perfect, but it is the life that Jalissa Rose always craved.

    Much is Expected w/ Paul Lee

    Despite growing up in a city of almost 400,000 people, Paul Lee never felt as though his childhood took place within the metropolis that is St. Louis, Missouri. Paul’s parents intentionally surrounded him with a church community, extended family, and countless friends who showed him the power of community early on. Paul fully understands that he was beyond fortunate to have parents who constantly put others before themselves. Upon graduation from Lindenwood University, in St. Charles, MO, with BAs in both Non-profit Management and Public Administration, Paul leaned into his faith and followed his calling which led him to the University of Northern Iowa. As they say, “the rest is history.” Paul discovered a community wherein he could thrive inside of the Cedar Valley, met his wife, and started a family.  Hear why Paul is so adamant about his role as Director of Campus Ministry at St. Stephen the Witness Catholic Student Center—and how he welcomes every student where they’re at, with empathy and respect. Paul’s gratitude toward his blessings in life has allowed him to use his strengths to give back to our community in numerous profound ways. Listen as we chat, too, about his time in the Knights of Columbus, Boys Scouts of America, and a plethora of other community-focused initiatives.

    This Body of Work w/ Luke Schuver

    Athletics had always been a part of Luke Schuver’s life, as he stayed extremely active throughout his childhood. With his competitive spirit and innate athletic ability, Luke experienced great success early on. Once his season of puberty began, Luke had envisioned his body growing into manhood along the traditional trajectory. In reality, Luke’s coming of age meant he would develop scoliosis of the spine. Tragically, puberty brought him a host of problems—along with a slowly depleting body racked with pain. Having witnessed his own mother struggle with a life of pain, Luke knew he needed to alter his future; consequently, he jumped into everything health and fitness related. From successfully earning a degree from the University of Northern Iowa in kinesiology and exercise science, to instructing fitness classes, personal training, and everything in between. Listen to us chat about how Luke transformed his body to improve his gait, build muscle, bulletproof his joints, and build impeccable posture. Notably, Luke has taken his education and experience to new heights by helping others fix their own issues through functional movement patterns—which ultimately helps them to, like Luke, attain the life they have always desired.

    Family First w/ Anna & Katherine Allison

    Family First w/ Anna & Katherine AllisonWhat started as a normal day of going to visit my side of the family, at the picturesque U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-managed Coralville Lake, resulted in the most stressful situation I’ve ever been a part of. I’d ultimately wonder if we’d all walk away from this near-death experience. Tapping off the cruise control, I blacked out—going 70 miles per hour down Interstate 380 around 09:00 hours. The family van loaded with our four children careened off of a gravel shoulder and down into an overgrown embankment, and then it crashed into a giant oak tree. Waking to screams, I feared for the very worst. Listen to our chat about the horrific accident, and hear how our family was saved by a legion of angels. This is the uncut story of a dreadfully traumatic event that befell our family; moreover, it is a story that has resulted in the reaffirmation of faith for an entire community.

    The Gift of Life w/ Armin Muzafirović

    His traditional Bosnian upbringing showed Armin Muzafirović the importance of hard work, determination, and having an unrelenting drive. These qualities would prepare Armin for the future fight of his life.At just sixteen-years old, Armin was diagnosed with a failing heart that would ultimately require constant medical attention. At only seventeen, Armin would have a pacemaker implanted into his chest. Just two years later, Armin had yet another surgery to receive an internal defibrillator, also known as an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Additionally, he had a right ventricular assist device (RVAD) and a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) installed. These devices pump blood from one’s right and left ventricle, respectively, into one’s pulmonary artery and to the lungs.All of the aforementioned steps were crucial in keeping Armin alive while his heart continued to deteriorate. With an ejection fraction of only fifteen percent, and forty pounds of gained fluid around his heart, Armin was ultimately admitted to the hospital with a nonfunctional heart. He drifted in and out of consciousness over and over again. Hear as we speak on the long and tenuous months that followed his admission to the hospital. Then, experience his elation upon finally receiving the call he’d been waiting for. Some kind, dearly departed soul had chosen to give Armin his heart.Having received the ultimate gift of life, Armin now advocates and raises awareness regarding organ donation in every way imaginable, including the Iowa Donor Network. Armin co-founded and served as President of the Student Organ Donation Advocates Chapter (SODA) at the University of Northern Iowa, the very first SODA Chapter in the state of Iowa.Having since graduated from UNI, where he majored in biology and minored in chemistry, Armin plans to attend medical school with aspirations of becoming a surgeon.𝙀𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙚!  Find more at: www.theworldwithnate.com  Connect with Nate at: theworldwithnatepodcast@gmail.com

    The Oil Queen w/ Bailey King

    Growing up on the nation’s largest sheep farm, the farming lifestyle provided Bailey King with a firsthand look into the hard work and dedication that it takes to build the life you desire. These lessons were pivotal to her success later in life. Attending the University of Northern Iowa and later receiving her Master’s degree, Bailey couldn’t find symmetry between parenting her children and her career. So, she became a business owner and opened a photography studio. Having battled Crohn’s disease for years and after the birth of their second child, Bailey found relief through Essential Oils, after a search for an alternative to relying on pharmaceuticals. Seeing a dramatic improvement in her own health, Bailey was convinced of the acute medical potential of this natural option. Bailey has risen through the ranks of her current organization, and within two years of employment she reached the top 1/10 of 1% of the entire company. Having such career success has allowed the family of seven both the financial and time freedom they’ve always desired. Listen in as we chat about the road to Bailey’s success and how the family is now preparing for a move to India. We dig into the latest opportunity for “The Oil Kings” and how they are traveling the world teaching others how to take control of their health naturally.

    Starting Over w/ Christi Marie

    Growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska in a one-room cabin with picturesque mountain ranges, abundant flora and fauna, and vast wilderness led Christi Marie to become an adventurous, powerful, and determined woman. But, it wasn’t without hardship that most cannot fathom. Having overcome a cultish nightmare of a childhood, Christi explains how the ideals and beliefs of that cultic lifestyle deviate from the mainstream way of life. We explore how the relative isolation of an Alaskan existence led to the indoctrination of her family to the group’s controlling beliefs. Moreover, after having naively married an abusive spouse, we explore how Christi discovered the strength to escape her living hell. Having cut ties with most of her family and friends, Christi ultimately escaped to the Midwest to start over. Hear about the strength it took to begin fresh and establish a new life with her children in tow. Christi explains that despite the hardships you endure, you are always in control of your destiny. Christi has gone on to reinvent herself on numerous levels, and has competed on multiple seasons of American Ninja Warrior, all while raising her children and pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
