In this episode, we meet the dynamic Chief Master Sargent Shakela Matthews (congratulations on the fresh promotion). This woman is serving our country in more ways than one. I thank Shakela for her service in the United States Air Force, and I am mesmerized by her other service as author, coach, leader, mentor, and sister friend. In this captivating interview we see the genuineness and openness of Shakela. The list of topics we hit during this 45 minute are plentiful:

• Being on the proverbial hamster wheel.
• Dating for money, a mistake we’ve all made
• The network of the military and how it changes lives for the good
• Divorce and isolation
• Leading yourself and others
• Hitting the reset button
• Much, Much, More

In this inspirational episode, I have the honor and pleasure of interviewing my pastor, my spiritual leader, my mom...Linda Brown, Pastor of Universal Transformation Ministries as we explore The Power of Faith.

At first, I thought I'd start this pilot season discussing the power of faith, but decided instead to end it with the power of faith (Season 2 Kicks off in 2 weeks, you don't want to miss it).

In this inspirational episode, we discuss:
- faith in the current political client
-faith at work
-the difference between faith and religion

and why my momma said, "can't nobody flip a hamburger like I can"!
